Bleach

[Lunian]

OMG did anyone see the new bleach its insane.

Ichigo goes full hollow and owns zangetsu.

He has instant healing abilitys and can still use his sword!

[AS_anime_watcher]

That was crazy. I was like These episodes are just getting better and better. Im curious as to the how the other zanpakutos would act. Oh thats right Zabimaru should be in the next episode.

[matrixman124]

I'm very meh on the whole concept behind this filler arc. It doesn't make much sense to me. *sighs* Then again, this is Bleach.

I mean all the character designs are great and all, but I just don't get it. XD

i think if ichigo let his hollow go a bit longer zangetsu would have returned but that would kill the arc

[matrixman124]

We have no idea how Muramasa even has these mad crazy abilities. So how are we supposed to know how they even work? Perhaps the only way for the zanpakutous to reunite with their respective owners is if they kill Muramasa...

I FINALLY found a subbed version of this episode.  My normal site (ol' faithful) had the raw version, not a subbed version, so I had to go surf Youtube and finally found it...

Anyways, on topic:  AWESOME episode.  I'm still not sure what Ichigo ever did to Zangetsu to get Zangetsu out and in the flesh since I thought they always had a pretty good relationship, but I figured that Ichigo's hollow would show up and fight Zangetsu when Ichigo couldn't handle it.  It kills me that I have to wait a week to find out what happens next, but hey, thats what you get for catching up to Japan in about 2 weeks, lol...

from that episode it looks like he only had to do it with ichigo since he said something about either waiting for him to come to that world or something like that. but i don't think he physically extracted them from all the shinigami...i mean none of them had any idea and kept trying to release their zanpakuto's. very confusing because we never have seen any zanpakuto communicating with another...time will tell.oh well

I made a fandub of the fight between Ichigo and Ulquiorra from episode 226. Here's the link.. for anyone that might want to check it out...

i'm hoping that when they get back to this they will show a little more than the manga did with ichigo's new form because i thought it lacked a little just an opinion...maybe they wanna save that for another fight...

Yeah that **BLEEP** was crazy. I was like O.O the whole time, but then Ichigo had to be a **BLEEP** and pull off the mask, again. He'd rather lie there on the floor dying instead of having the hollow take care of it. What an idiot. A fight to the death is no time for pride (...unless you're Vegeta.) One thing I don't understand though... I thought Ichigo had gained control over the hollow, but apparently that's not the case here. Unless this takes place before that.

[darkeyes_84]

this is my first time here sooo I'm in episode 232 and I want to know who is that zanpakuto that controls all of them???

I still haven't watched 233 but I think i will later

[cero]

i think they did that because it's technically a filler but as far as i know/remember it will be the last time that happens

unless there's another filler (that would be ridiculous) imo

[Mablak]

They actually did something somewhat unexpected this week, and didn't drag it out. Way to go.

 I doubt that this filler is pre-Hueco Mundo.  The last couple fillers that could even be called fillers (Not talking about the 5 episodes in the past nor am I talking about that episode where they go to the beach) took place after Hueco Mundo.  The whole fight with the new ex-captain #3 was when Ichigo was a vizard, so I'm not sure why they would go back to go forward...

  This might just be a crazy theory, but didn't Zangetsu and Ichigo's hollow form balance each other out?  I mean, when we visit Ichigo's soul where Zangetsu is, there are always hints of a power struggle taking place, so without Zangetsu there, there's nothing to challenge the hollow's control over Ichigo in a fight that it looks like he's going to lose.  Its like when Ichigo first fought Kenpachi, Zangetsu was with Ichigo to deliver the final blow, and then after Zangetsu's power wasn't enough, the hollow Ichigo came out to save him.  I think thats what's happening here too, except that without Zangetsu, Ichigo doesn't have full control over his hollow form anymore.  Its just my theory though, so I really don't know.

Wow..I like the way you think on that theory. Hollow Ichigo is always waiting and looking for a chance to exploit Ichigo's weakness.  He always warned Ichigo about such an opportunity. 

[dragonsaiyan]

Can't wait to see what happens next week. Hollow Ichigo is going to go all out 

[HaDo_90]

Now that i think about it, the zanpakto rebellion could have easily been a future arc in bleach after aizen's death. Could have very well been a great 4th bleach movie as well.They just totally ruined that by making it a filler and throwing it in the middle of battles.

Is it just me or is there a reason bleach skewed off into a different saga AGAIN while theyre already in the middle of one? Like how much longer are we going to have to sit threw this zanpakuto saga and get back to a interesting isen one?

[KittyKiska]

Well i honestly think this is a good one, i liked seeing the zanpaktou's real form and all. But i thought it would have been best to do it after the whole aisen and the arrancars was over not just throw it in there.

[mgangel1124]

It's filler. They were running out of manga material to use, so they put in a filler arc to buy more time.

i was wondering that too, and I kind of came to the conculsion that it may belong to Kenpachi seeing how we have yet to see his, as he disappears easy in all sagas.

[gamester92]

out of all the bleach fillers this one is so far the best, i really like it so no compliants here

[sango868]

I think this is the best filler of Bleach so far. And to me it's very good.

 For the same reason for all of the other fillers.  Because the anime was within 30 chapters of the manga.

 Kubo Tite thinks this arc is very interesting.  And you should too, for that very reason. 

[darkeyes_84]

it could be the old mans as well

but if it is Kenpachi's he should come out or maybe already will come out and learn his Zanpakuto's name
