Bleach Episode 143 Summary


Having followed Ichigo to Urahara’s store, Keigo, Mizuiro, and Tatsuki sneak in to find out what’s going on. Down below, Urahara opens up a hole used by Arrancar called a Garganta and instructs Ichigo and friends to head towards the darkness by moving over the spirits. Before he leaves, Ichigo asks Urahara to tell his friends and family something that’ll make them not worry about him, and he vows to apologize after he comes back. Once Ichigo, Sado, and Ishida pass through the portal and it closes, Urahara calls out Tatsuki and the other two. He had known all along that they were coming and had even left the store unlocked for them. Urahara feels that Ichigo is naive for thinking that he could cut bonds just by acting a bit cold. Meanwhile, Inoue has arrived in Aizen’s throne room in Las Noches and gets asked by Aizen to show her power by healing Grimmjow’s arm. Luppi thinks that this is impossible and suggests that Inoue would have to be God to heal it, but to his surprise, Inoue succeeds in restoring the entire arm.

In explaining Inoue’s power to the bewildered Luppi, Aizen recalls how Ulquiorra had referred to it as time or spatial regression. Aizen himself thinks of it as event rejection - Inoue can limit, reject, and deny events so that she can return things to a previous state. It is a power that violates God’s domain. With his arm restored now, Grimmjow asks Inoue to take care of the burn on his back too - the one covering his No. 6 tattoo. Luppi realizes what this means, but before he can do anything, Grimmjow slams his arm through Luppi’s chest. After Grimmjow finishes Luppi off with a Cero blast, he starts laughing because of how he’s back as the Sexta Espada. By now, Ichigo and company are deep in a dark void as they head for Hueco Mundo, but both Ichigo and Sado are having trouble keeping their footing along the spirit path. Ishida, on the other hand, has no problems and gets asked by Sado about the promise with his father. Sado had heard from Urahara that in exchange for the Quincy training, Ishida wasn’t going to get involved with the Shinigami.

To answer the question, Ishida recalls how Urahara had visited the training place and told him about Inoue’s abduction. Urahara had also mentioned that Ichigo was going by himself to go save her, and upon hearing this, Ishida had asked for clarification. After Urahara explained that Soul Society dissociated itself from this matter, Ishida had decided to go with Ichigo after all. His reasoning is that Soul Society has abandoned Ichigo, so Ichigo isn’t really a Shinigami, meaning that he’s not breaking his promise by doing this. Back in the real world, Ryuuken finds the note that his son left. Ichigo’s father Isshin shows up at around the same time, and Ryuuken is a bit surprised to see him in Shinigami garb because this means that Isshin’s powers have returned. As for the note, Ryuuken feels that he doesn’t need to read it because he already knows what it says. Isshin thinks that Ryuuken sent his son on purpose, but Ryuuken notes that he merely restored his son’s Quincy powers. Whether Ishida keeps the powers alive or kills them is up to Ishida himself - that includes living and dying too.

In Las Noches, Inoue is sitting alone in her room staring out the window and worrying about if she should have come here. She realizes that healing the Arrancar will lead to more fighting, but she also feels that she has to make the them think that she has value, at least until the preparations for the battle are complete. Suddenly, Inoue starts sensing a great spiritual force. Aizen feels it too from his own room, and he knows that someone has come.


Bleach Episode 144 Summary


Ichigo, Sado, and Ishida burst into Hueco Mundo and find themselves inside a building that’s not quite what Ichigo imagined. Against Ishida’s judgment, Ichigo feels that it doesn’t matter if they make noise because then they can catch an enemy and find out where Inoue is. Ishida then inadvertently activates a booby trap that causes the floor to fall out, and he and Ichigo have to save Sado from falling into the hole below. Further down the hallway, Ichigo activates another trap, this time in the form of a giant rolling ball, but Sado shatters it with his punch. Shortly thereafter, the three are discovered by an Arrancar, but instead of facing him, Ishida and Sado run away, dragging Ichigo with them. Ishida has realized that they’re underground, so they can’t risk collapsing the building by fighting in the narrow hallway. Fortunately, they soon arrive in a huge circular room, though Ishida is still more interested in the exit on the far side. He never reaches those stairs up because a second Arrancar appears in front of him, and the first one soon arrives behind them.

Ichigo is ready to fight these Arrancar by himself, but Sado elbows him and insists that Ichigo be the one who steps back. Both he and Ishida think that Ichigo should save his strength until they find Inoue, and Ishida also reveals that he learned what they know about the Arrancar. Their opponents are the small and fast Iceringer and the large and strong Demoura, and in the beginning, Sado fights the former while Ishida battles with the latter. Demoura uses a technique that gathers surrounding spirit energy into his palms for attacking, and this prevents Ishida from gathering spirit energy to construct his own weapon. As Ishida is wishing that he could get more distance between himself and Demoura, he notices Sado having a hard time hitting Iceringer due to the distance between them. Because of this, Ishida stops moving and lets Sado punch Demoura instead. Ready to counterattack against a foe he’s better matched against, Ishida forms his new bow called the Ginrei Koujaku and fires off a volley.

Iceringer manages to get out of it with only a shoulder injury, but Ishida matches the Arrancar’s speed and reveals that he’s not a normal human - he’s a Quincy. His opponent responds by unleashing his Uña Tirotear attack that can rapid-fire 108 shots. This doesn’t bother Ishida at all though because his Ginrei Koujaku can do 1200, and this easily overwhelms Iceringer. Sado meanwhile has to deal with Demoura’s deadly tongue attack, however he’s able to stop it with his arm. He doesn’t like finishing off opponents who have lost their will to fight, but he realizes that this isn’t the time to be like that, so he powers up his arm for an attack he calls El Directo.\


Bleach Episode 145 Summary


After Sado defeats Demoura with his El Directo attack, a heavily injured Iceringer curses the humans, but Ishida makes it clear that he’s a Quincy. In fact, he’s kept Iceringer alive because he wants him to tell Aizen that they should fear a Quincy, not a Shinigami. Unfortunately, all this fighting appears to be causing this room to collapse, though Iceringer reveals that it’s actually collapsing because he and Demoura - the guards - were defeated. He tells them that there is no end to the battle and that there will be no victory for them, and as the chunks of the ceiling crush his body, Iceringer explains that they follow Aizen because there is nothing that he fears. Having barely managed to escape via the stairwell before the underground structure completely caved in, Ichigo and company find themselves in a desolate desert landscape. In the distance, however, is a gigantic structure that resembles a palace, and the three conclude that Inoue has to be in there somewhere, so they start heading towards it. After a long period of running however, Sado senses something and stops. A sandstorm of sorts suddenly starts, and the three get blown up into a twister, but Ishida saves them by creating a spirit barrier around them. Unfortunately, the barrier starts cracking, so Sado punches it, and the force of that ejects them from the twister.

The three’s presences have meanwhile been detected by the ten Espada who have gathered for a meeting, and Aizen soon joins them. After serving tea, Aizen presents a hologram of the three intruders and introduces them. He forbids his Espada from underestimating these three, and his talking about how these guys entered Soul Society leads to the Espada figuring out that they’re here to save Inoue. Grimmjow doesn’t want to stick around talking any longer and gets up to go kill the enemy, and although Aizen is pleased that Grimmjow would act on his behalf, he’s not done talking yet and uses his spiritual pressure to get Grimmjow to submit. Aizen then tells the other Espada that there’s no reason to make a fuss about this, so he wants them to return to their areas and wait for the enemy. He finishes by urging them not to be afraid because as long as they stay with him, there are no enemies who can stand against them. Back outside, Ichigo and the others stop for a breather because it doesn’t seem like they’re getting any closer to the palace. Ichigo suggests that it could be a mirage, and although Ishida shoots that idea down, Ichigo doesn’t care to know the explanation behind it.

Ichigo then notices a small lizard-like hollow running around, and this piques his curiosity into what that kind of Hollow eats around here. Ishida explains that Hueco Mundo has a high concentration of spirit particles in the atmosphere, so a small Hollow can be nourished just by breathing. The reason he knows about all this is because the Quincy fight by making use of the spirit particles around them, and he points out that the Arrancar will benefit from this atmosphere too. When Ishida starts going into length about how they’re not only the Arrancar’s enemies but also their food, Ichigo tunes him out and gets ready to start running again. Before he can get very far though, Ichigo senses something coming, and a giant worm-like creature suddenly emerges from the sand behind them. Along with two others Hollows, it appears to be chasing what Ichigo thinks is a human child, so Ichigo goes to save her.
