Besides, most of what Ichigo said to Ulquiorra was false vibrato. Go back and watch the scenes when Ulquiorra does his second release. His expression is "I'm fucked" not "Yeah! Bring it on!" Despite Ichigo's empty promises to continue fighting he gave up in that fight long before he was dead.

Great episode!!! Haven't seen a good bleach episode since, damn I can't even remember. I could see how some would feel disappointed with the censoring but I honestly thought it wasn't that bad, in matter of fact I liked the way they showed the last scene.
Really looking forward to the next episode, it should be packed with great animation, good action, and a bunch of "Kurosaki-kun's". |

Question of the day: how many pillars did Ulquiorra crash using Ichigo? It really got repetitive after a while. I like Ishida's new saucer lift, but even more than that, his short narration, sounded pretty ominous.
I also like this episode because it emphasizes on Ichigo's fighting spirit, which justifies Ulq's second release and refusal to outright kill Ichigo (this being a battle of will-crushing and all). Blue-eyes Gin is scary Oh, and now Ichigo's got three holes |

Would have been nice if he still had that trump card to play. Anything that can own a captain isn't a bad option. At least its better than him trying anything at his current level. I think grabbing Inoue and jumping back down that hole is the best possible plan .

Ichigo admitted that he wasn't strong enough, even so, he couldn't give up. Throwing away his sword = giving up...even when scared shitless, he still held on to it though.

He one shotted Mayuri through his bankai back in Soul Society. I'd be more than willing to bet Ishida would be a dangerous opponent if he had access to that ultimate Quncy power at all times and didn't have to worry about the repercussion.

This was an okay episode. They definitely had to fit a lot of chapters in, and even then it still felt just a little slow.
The music they used for both of Ulquiorra's releases were very poor choices. Ulquiorra was supposed to inject a sense of despair. Something like Torn Apart would've fit in much better for the second release. However the music they played before Ulqiorra 'kills' Ichigo was fitting. Though no amount of awesome music of animation will make up for shoddy writing: Ulquiorra: Do Getsuga! Ichigo: Don't tell me what to do! *Does what Ulquiorra tells him to do* The preview at the end was hilarious. Imagining a dancing Ulquiorra in a shiny dress and afro is just...

Uryuu couldn't beat Ichigo in his bankai, let alone hollowfied. Ichigo, regularly hollowfied, is at a mid-level espada power. |

what really makes that scene bad is how ichigo uses a crappy long range getsuga which is pretty much always demonstrated to be the weakest way to use his "ultimate attack."

with the way it works, he would have access to obscene amounts of power in places with dense concentrations of spirit particles like soul society and hueco mundo. one shotting a captain, even if he is a weak one, is no small feat (and it cut a hole right through him and kept going who knows how far). hell, the same premise was used to give aizen a "holy crap, he is strong" moment with komamura, who is also weak.
