Original Toonami will always be best. Hands down, battle over. Shin-Chan was something that you thought you may not like at first, but after watching a little bit of it you start to laugh and start enjoying it. I really loved it because episodes were divided into like three-sections, so you got to see different stories and not just the one thing the whole episode. And as far as the Hyorinmaru thing goes, Zangetsu said something before about the world he was in being within Ichigo. I've always thought that meant the world of Ice that Toshiro entered was that same inner-self that Ichigo had with the city. By the way, the next episode preview looked like a Move-Trailer. I know it's not, but it really did look like one. Seems they are gonna start with showing the basics of Zanpkuto's, by the way Renji was looking at his weapon and Ikkaku released. |

That's how Shin-chan worked. A lot of anime, since then, have done similar things without changing the setting so much. And have you watched 229 yet since your internet is back up? And about the spirit thing, to tell you the truth it could be something totally different. I can't really say if it'll be small clues given in the anime already, but we'll see. There just better be good action, cause I don't really care about learning about everyone's Zanpakuto that much.

Nah, I haven't watched that episode yet -- Just the preview for this week. And LOL, You don't wanna learn about some Zanpakuto's? It's suppose to be considered canon in the Bleach-verse, so I'm surprised you aren't too excited to learn about the spirits and their origin. And personally, I'm sure there will be action, but I wouldn't expect as much action as say the Bount Arc. With the focus being spirits and Zanpakuto and whatnot, I would expect more to be focused on information and development rather then any major fights. May be some though, who knows ~ |

One thing I see coming from this is the origin of Zanpakuto. Add that to the Wiki page and let's move on. It's going to be boring if it's just straight up information, but like I said there's not many clues (or any) at all, so we'll see this week...

I'm sure there will be some cool stuff, and it wouldn't be straight up information -- I just expect it to be more development then fights. But, we'll see later today ~ And Naru, ever thought about maybe watching the English Subs? It would get you alot farther in the story watching the subs. |

There'll be fights, but this is an informational arc, lol. And I hate the dub. Messed up a bunch of the characters, like Hitsugaya. I hate how Viz edited the ED credits for the dub, too, that's not right. But the original is better anyways. No competition.

In my book, the original would only be better because of it's being so far ahead and the fact that American Dubs always butcher a certain character we all know and love. Toshiro isn't too bad, but seeing his dub work in DDR will prove whether or not he's a really great VA for Toshiro. And that's how Viz is, no idea why. They did the same with Naruto but left Bleach alone for a LOOOOOONG time -- but when these new batch of episodes started last summer or fall, it's when the ending was butchered. But Yeah, I prefer the Subs simply because I've grown more use to their voices after watching so much of them. At first though, I prefered Dubs. |

There are typical dub issues I have with the Bleach dub, not just certain ones. The fact that's it's behind on the original is irrelevant and doesn't change anything. But I don't care about the dub anyways, so feel free to think whatever. The only dub I can say I'm following (for fun) is Detective Conan on Comcast. Talk about awful dubs, the Naruto dub is one of the worst. Only little kids are following it. Just saw 230, and wow this new arc is definitely going to be the best filler arc, for sure. We were both wrong about what we thought, then again they didn't give any clues whatsoever so you can't blame ourselves. Anyways, don't continue reading until you see it yourself unless you want to just want to know about it anyways. This arc is going to be a "Ichigo to the rescue arc", and you'll see why when you see it. If there was never an Arrancar Arc, this would take it's place since Kurotsuchi has his new headset and you see Momo in great condition. The episode introduces the Shinigami vs. Zanpakuto and apparently they do share the same world (except a few special ones, like Zangetsu for ex.). I think it's a bit random that they just all started to disobey their masters, but they'll probably break into that soon. It's fun seeing everyone together, because it's like the old SSC again, sort of. Actually this whole thing is almost like a movie, except split into episodes. Once you watch it, you'll definitely feel the movie aura because of the new enemies out of nowhere and whatnot (like all the Bleach movies). It's awesome seeing the Zanpakuto in physical form. You see most of them near the end, but only a few are in detail and action (showing their abilities. You see Soifon's, Komamura's, Matsumoto's (wow, even her Zanpakuto is busty!!), Hisagi's, etc. Now it's understandable why he hates the look of it, he looks like a huge, dark flame with two awesome weapons. I'm sure fans will have an bit of an easier time remembering everyone's Zanpakuto name now, including me, lol. And about Matsumoto's, wow every [adult looking] Zanpakuto had huge bust! Wow, what a world they live in. The coolest part (if you watch carefully) is seeing Hyourinmaru. The more popular Zanpakuto have way cooler designs, like insanely cool designs. I'm sure Ichigo will have some help, like with Chad and Ishida since they don't use Zanpakuto, but I'm sure he'll get some other help as well, but wow I don't mind digging into this new arc for a while. Definitely can watch this for a few months (how ever long it takes), but wow I'm definitely excited. You were right, there will be information and development, then I'm right about the action. It'll be spread through action and drama. ;P

WOW is the only word I can say to describe that episode! It was epic, and way beyond what I thought. I thought it would just involve Zanpakuto origins, but WOW, I'm happy I was wrong. This will turn out to be an awesome Arc! I loved how in the beginning I could tell whose Spirit was whose, mainly with Soifon's, Ikkaku's, and Rangiku's. They was just so obvious, and awesome ~ LOL I love Soifon's, just like her and with that giant stinger and is a little tiny spirit compared to the others, rofl. And of course Rangiku's would be pretty busty, haha ~ I thought it was really cool seeing Fox-boy fighting his Spirit, and then that same spirit looked like he was about to own everything in sight! But probably my favorite so far was Shuuhei's, and his Zanpakuto just started owning everything in sight - literally - tearing through buildings and people like they were nothing. It's easy to see why Shuuhei fears his blade. Hyorinmaru, Rukia's Zanpakuto, Shuuhei's -- All of them are about to own. I agree -- I could really enjoy this Arc for awhile! :D |

lol, did you know Haineko because of the huge bust? XD Haha, you would never dare to call Komamura "boy" in front of him. I'm liking his character more and more (even in the manga how he instantly sides with the Vizards). He just popped up in front of Marumasa (I think that was his name) and was like "WHERE DA F' OL' POPS AT!?". So bad455, SO, bad455. I though Byakuya was going to do something similar when he walked up to the front. Of course we all know he's bad455, too. Soifon's was probably the most easiest to tell, but who did Marumasa introduce as the "new guy"? Was it Hyourinmaru? Speaking of him, he has two forms (the dragon, the body) plus he looks like an MMORPG character. These designs are instantly attractive since they're not white haori and black Shinigami clothing, lol. So boring and non-colorful. Hisagi doesn't really fear it, he just doesn't like the look of it (and it's like not his character, y'know?). You can tell Rukia's, and since her Zanpaktuo is proclaimed as the most beautiful (or something like that), her Zanpakuto would definitely define a princess' appearance. I love how Kurotsuchi was enjoying every single moment of it, even when his Zanpakuto popped out (chibi-form, kawaii). And speaking of when I said Ichigo being a main hero since Zangetsu is in another world and isn't against Ichigo, I have a strong feeling Kenpachi will be the same, and it might be the time we see Yachiru's in action, possibly.... I hope!! Kenpachi doesn't know his Zanpakuto name, so basically it's just a katana (but that's never affected him so far). I'm definitely re-watching this episode tonight or so, but yeah since Kenpachi wasn't even there, I have a strong feeling he'll be starring in this Arc! What do you think?

I've been talking with alot of my friends about Kenpachi being a BIG player in this Arc. He doesn't even know his Zanpakuto's name, and can't even use Bankai. Not to mention Zaraki DID NOT show up; He sent Ikkaku and Yumichika in his place -- all the more reason that he will do something. I knew Haineko, not becaus eof the bust, but because she had the same attitude as Rangiku in the first part of the episode -- and Rangiku has stated multiple times she can't get stronger cause Haineko is just like her. And Yeah, Hisagi does "fear" his weapon, because if you remember when he first released in the anime and manga he said you needed to fear your weapon and whatnot, and if you don't fear it's power you will lose control. And Im still surprised that everyone says Ichigo is coming, when in that interview Kubo said Ichigo won't be the hero or showing up, but that Zangetsu would -- but at this point I don't know. We'll have to see. And I'm not sure on the new guy -- Might have been him, but I need to rewatch it and see who it was that came down the stairs behind our new villian. |

According to Ikkaku and Yumichika, they were the only ones able to go. Apparently Kenpachi and Yachiru have these nightly random strolls... lol, kidding. Don't believe everything Tite Kubo says; I just go with whatever comes out every week anyways, lol. I think he needs like, a week off from work. He's juggling with too much it seems lately. I'm fine if they don't show Ichigo, but since he's obviously not affected by this, he's going to be involved and help out, but I'm wondering why he's just sleeping on the side of the building, lol, was he training or something? I mean from what we've seen so far nobody can use their Zanpakuto. You can't beat someone simply using Kidou. The only good guys so far I see who can help out is Ichigo, Kenpachi (not sure about Yachiru), Ishida, Orihime, and Chad. Or what if his dad gets involved? Maybe some new characters (good guys) will pop out somewhere.

Speaking of those not affected, and brining up Ichigo's father, I wouldn't be surprised to maybe see Urahara or Yoruichi get involved in this somehow. They could certaintly get around the Zanpkuto going out of control and all, and be a big help to the Shinigami. I don't mind not seeing Ichigo either -- but this episode sorda made it REALLY obvious that he has to come help save the day. Who else is there, really? However, I think we will get to see Zangetsu -- My recent idea? Zangetsu emerges from Ichigo's blade and actually fights against the other spirits, or helps IN SOME WAY that he takes physical form to do. Either way, I can't wait to see Zangetsu in action. |

So far you can't tell if they're going to call for his help (they seem to ask him for help even though he can't step into Soul Society). And yeah, there's new bad guys (well, their Zanpakuto), but some new good guys will come outta nowhere to help possibly. There's no way Ichigo can save everyone, even if he only knows Tetsuga Tenshou and use his Hollow mask. Even if they didn't show that part, Ichigo would still be the guy to call for help since his good friends will need his help (Rukia, Renji, etc.). And he helps them out anyways no matter what, so yeah, he'll be unleashing some Tetsuga Tenshou goodness. Also since some of the more stronger leveled Zanpakuto are free (ones who can go into bankai), they can easily start more havoc because they're not limited to any contracts anymore, and simply because... they're much stronger... (one huge example is Senbonzakura since it has three strong abilities in bankai). Actually, other then swinging your katana or weapon, I'm not sure how they'll use their abilities, but it'll be fun watching. Zangetsu helped Ichigo gain bankai, while training Ichigo in person. If Urahara and Yoruichi come help, they obviously were never affected by the Zanpakuto thing. I can't recall if Yoruichi was so surprised to see Zangetsu in person, but who knows. One thing I want to know is who Muramasa belong to. He's obviously a Zanpakuto, but he had to of been with someone. Maybe that someone will come up, though he might not be of much use, lol. [EDIT] I re-watched episode 230, the guy's name is Muramasa, though can't tell if he's an actual Zanpakuto or not with that ending. The "new guy" is also Hyourinmaru, Hitsugaya's Zanpakuto, but yeah no PV. I'm trying to figure out who that little girl with the two bells is. No clue though.

Ichigo may indeed be the hero for SS once again ~ Hopefully we can tell next episode just who we can expect to be the main hero, whoever that is. Also, I think the girl with the two bells ( If I remember correctly, I haven't rewatched it yet. Prolly going to before next episode ) might just be Hinamori's Zanpakuto. I'm not sure, however, but we'll see. And I don't think Yoruichi was surprised to see Zangetsu, because I think she knew from Urahara that's how it would happen -- since he used the sam method to reach Bankai, Im sure it happened mostly the same way. It's also possible Muramasa could be like a Spirit sealed off long ago from some Rogue Shinigami or something, but wasn't destroyed -- or maybe he was 'abused' by his Shinigami, and eventually freed himself somehow. |

Momo was my first guess, but I couldn't say for sure. No justifications anyways. And Muramasa could be a free spirit, and maybe his master died or something. Yeah, just more to ask about even though we can't really say, but the next episode better be good, cause they hide it behind the Bleach omakes. [EDIT] Saw the new episode, seems the Zanpakuto have left for the time being, giving a chance for Gotei 13 to recover. The episode was not bad, I enjoyed it, I know every episode won't have action. Seeing Senbonzakura was nice, but again Ichigo has to go after Rukia like the good ol' days. Ichigo brought up how Sode no Shirayuki didn't have an Arrancar's hole, he should be able to use his mask however. I was right guessing we might see Yoruichi (yay!! :D) and those mod souls! Urahara mentioned he was going to summon some backup... that made me curious for some reason. It's either someone really cool, or just Orihime, Chad, and Ishida (boring...). XD! No sign of Kenpachi's return yet, but I still think it's obvious he'll be involved in-depthly. It might be a while until there's more hectic battles (against the more stronger Zanpakuto), but in the PV of next week's episode, it's more Sode no Shirayuki. Rukia's probably going to get scolded by Ichigo. Anyways, I enjoyed the episode and wait for the next. Not sure what else to mention if I forgotten anything.

LOL, Nothing in almost two weeks, wow *~* Anyway, I watched the last two episodes I had missed while I was sick and internet was down, and I have a feeling I know who Muramasa belongs to -- KENPACHI. I mean, If I was going to rebel against soul society and the Shinigami, I think my parner not knowing my name and beating the hell out of me the whole time would serve as good reason. Of course, this is just a guess, but it makes sense to me since Kenpachi hasn't been around at all yet -- Possibly being sealed away or something? Also, Sode no Shirayuki ( I'm calling her SnS ) was pretty darn powerful. I mean, I know Rukia didn't have her Zanpakuto powers, but SnS just straight owned everything -- and would have gotten Ichigo too since he wouldn't use his full power against SnS and she wasn't going to hold back against him. Oh, And Senbonzakura was a big yet down for me. I expected an elengant female spirit or something like that, and I get a samurai armor. u-u; But anyway, Good episodes -- If you watched them back-to-back-to-back, you'd have a good looking Bleach Movie or something like that so far. |
