ARRANCAR

2010-03-22T09:28:00.000-07:00

Arrancars (破面（アランカル） arankaru?, Japanese for "broken mask," Spanish for "to tear off") are the most humanoid Hollows, having their masks almost completely removed—and from this—they gain the powers of a Soul Reaper, including a zanpakutō, as well as strength, speed, and intelligence beyond the level of normal Hollows.

In addition to those improvements, Arrancars also have hierro (鋼皮 (イエロ) iero?, Japanese for "steel skin," Spanish for "iron"), skin hard enough for them to fight against sword-wielding opponents bare-handed, but can still be cut through. Arrancars use a technique known as sonido (響転（ソニード） sonīdo?, Japanese for "transfer effects," Spanish for "sound") to travel at extremely high speeds across a short distance. Stronger Arrancars have been shown to possess proportionally harder hierro or faster sonido, among other abilities, either unique or based on common techniques, such as the several variants of the cero technique.

Like Soul Reapers, all Arrancars possess a zanpakutō (斬魄刀?, lit. "soul-cutting sword"). Unlike a Soul Reaper's, however, whose zanpakutō is a manifestation of its owner's soul, an Arrancar's zanpakutō manifests his or her power as a normal Hollow. With occasional exceptions, an Arrancar's zanpakutō resembles a regular sword in its "sealed state." When "released" through a process called resurrección (帰刃（レスレクシオン） resurekushion?, Japanese for "returning blade," Spanish for "resurrection"), the sword combines with and changes the appearance of the Arrancar. Part of the Arrancar's origional Hollow form is restored, and the Arrancar is granted greater strength and access to his or her original abilities from resurrección. In some cases, Arrancars can discard or remove certain elements of their released forms to better focus their powers. This results, however, in the Arrancars losing those attributes permanently, like ripping off one's own limb.

Arrancars become major antagonists in Bleach during the second part of the series, as they are led by Sōsuke Aizen, who uses the Hōgyoku to create and perfect the Arrancars. According to Tite Kubo, many of the Arrancars are named after real life architects and designers

MENOS

2010-03-22T09:27:00.000-07:00

Menos (メノス menosu?, Spanish for "minus" or "less") Hollows have an unusually strong thirst for souls, which leads them to consume other Hollows and evolve into a stronger state of being. Within the Menos are three levels of evolution, each with superior strength, speed, and intelligence compared to its previous form. The first of these are the Gillians (最下大虚（ギリアン） girian?, Japanese for "least of the great Hollows," Spanish for "Countless Creature"), or Menos Grandes (大虚 (メノスグランデ menosu gurande?, Japanese for "Great Hollow," Spanish for "Great Minus"), which normally reside within the Menos Forest located below the desert surface of Hueco Mundo. The Gillians are powerful giants, born when countless cannibalistic Hollows gather into a feeding frenzy until they are mingled into one form, with very little intelligence or individuality as a result of being a collective mass of hundreds of Hollows. If one of the Hollows that now make up the Gillian retains its consciousness, the Hollow dominates the entirety and, after eating enough Hollows (including other Menos), eventually evolves into an Adjuchas (中級大虚（アジューカス） ajūkasu?, Japanese for "intermediate great Hollow").

Semi human or animal-like in nature, and smaller in size, the Adjuchas are able to fight against Soul Reapers, yet must continue eating Hollows so they do not regress permanently back into Gillians, with their minds destroyed in the process. There are some cases where Adjuchas halt regression when another Hollow devours even a small piece of their bodies, as well as cases where Adjuchas can command groups of Gillians. The few Adjuchas that transcend their limits become the Vasto Lordes (最上大虚（ヴァストローデ） vasuto rōde?, Japanese for "great king of the Hollows," Spanish and pseudo-Spanish for "vast lord"), the most human-like of the Hollows whose powers are thought to be greater than that of a Soul Reaper Captain's, to the point where Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya speculates the Soul Society would be doomed if Sōsuke Aizen manages to get more than ten Vasto Lordes under his command

HOLLOW

2010-03-22T09:26:00.001-07:00

The Bleach anime and manga feature an extensive cast of beings known as Hollows (虚（ホロウ） horō?), the central antagonists of the series. These are malevolent, deceased souls of formerly ordinary humans in the Bleach universe. Much of the series focuses on the Arrancars (破面（アランカル） arankaru?), more powerful variants of Hollows. The Arrancars make up the army of Sōsuke Aizen, the primary antagonist, and have a system of ranking based on strength. The most prominent Arrancars in the series are the ten most powerful Espadas (十刃（エスパーダ） esupāda?), and their direct subordinates.

The creator of the series, Tite Kubo, uses many Spanish motifs for Hollows. This is most prominent in the names for the various Hollow and Arrancar attack techniques. Many of the Arrancars also have Spanish-derived names.

Bleach 148: Ashido, the Shinigami who came from the Past

2008-11-01T12:13:00.001-07:00

Ashido stops his blade inches from Rukia’s face. He puts away his sword and walks away. Rukia calls after him and asks him what he was trying to prove. Ashido says that he wanted to test her strength because the forest is very dangerous. Rukia follows him out of the cave, but he stops her from going any further. He says that someone is fighting and Rukia can feel that it is Ichigo and the others.

Ashido comments that Ichigo’s reckless fighting style will just draw more Menos. He prepares to leave and Rukia says they are her friends. Ashido tells her to stay there and asks for her name. She introduces herself and he leaps away. After a moment Rukia jumps after him.

Ichigo blasts a Menos with Getsuga Tenshou but more pop up. They all fire Ceros and Ichigo and the others are forced to run. Uryuu suggests that they retreat and Chad asks what they are going to do about Nell and her friends. Ichigo says that they will save Nell and the others as well as Rukia. Bawabawa pulls up in front of them and they jump on,

A group of Adjuchas meets and discuss the intruders. The leader says that Ashido is involved in the commotion as well. Nell and the others are brought before the leader and he says that they can use them. Nell and her group are thrown into a prison and the leader laughs.

Ashido and Rukia arrive at the place where the battle was going on. A voice asks if she is the intruder. A Hollow appears behind her and throws a punch. He misses her and she takes a good look at the enemy. She realizes from the size and power that it is an Adjuchas. The Hollow attacks and Ashido shouts at Rukia to get back.

The Hollow asks Ashido if he is with the intruders. It then attacks and Ashido scratches its mask. He throws a barrage of punches but Ashido dodges them and then slashes the Hollow across the chest. The Hollow calls on the Gillian and a group of them emerge from the forest. The Adjuchas laughs and Rukia comments that the Gillian can be controlled by Adjuchas.

The whole group of Gillian fire Ceros at Rukia and Ashido. They dodge and Ashido tells Rukia to stay there. He leaps forward and blocks the next cero with one of the masks stuck on the fur on his back. The Adjuchas is shocked and Ashido slices through him before finishing off the other Menos Grande.

Afterward Rukia questions him about the Hollow and Ashido confirms that it was an Adjuchas. They talk a bit about it and then Ashido asks what happened in Soul Society. He tells her that the strength of the Hollows has been changing and now a Soul Reaper has shown up. She has a flashback of Aizen stealing the Hougyoku and leaving Soul Society and she says that a lot of terrible things have happened.

After a moment says ok and does not press any further. He then says that since their friends weren’t there they will look someplace else. Back at the Adjuchas base, the leader is informed of their comrade’s death. He asks if it was Ashido and the other Adjuchas says that there was a Soul Reaper with him. The leader thinks a bit and looks to where Nell and her group are being held prisoner.

Rukia and Ashido kill some more Menos and they hurry on. As they go, Ashido says that he underestimated her strength and with her level she shouldn’t have any trouble fighting against Adjuchas. After a while, Rukia asks Ashido about the mask he wears. Ashido stops walking. Rukia says he does not need to answer but Ashido pulls off the mask and shows his true face.

Ashido explains that it has been several hundred years since he left Soul Society. Ashido reveals that he was chasing some Hollows and ended up there. He says that he has been fighting Hollows ever since. Rukia asks if there is a way to escape and he says there is but he won’t leave because he is a Soul Reaper. Rukia is confused so Ashido explains.

He tells her that probably, all of the Hollows who appear in the real world come from there. By killing them constantly, he hopes to decrease the amount that go to the real world. He turns to Rukia and asks if there has been a decrease in the number of Hollows appearing in the real world. Rukia does not answer and Ashido says that by her expression he can tell that there has been no change. They keep walking.

Meanwhile, at the Adjuchas base, there is a fire going and Nell and her group huddle together nearby. Dondo Chakka says it kind of sounds like a party and Nell wonders if they will have good food. Pesche leans in and wonders if they are the food and Nell and the others freak out.

Suddenly Dondo Chakka gets an idea and asks Nell if she has kept her hood up the whole time. She says she has and he hatches a plan. He and Pesche grab Nell and run from the cave. They stop before the Hollows and show them Nell. They shout out that she was transformed into an Arrancar by Aizen. He pulls down her hood and shows her broken mask. All the Hollows bow on the ground and Dondo Chakka asks if they know a way out.

One of the Hollows points to a way and Nell and the others walk toward it. Suddenly, their path is blocked by an Adjuchas. Nell and the others point out that Nell is an Arrancar and the Adjuchas says that it has nothing to do with that. Ashido and Rukia arrive in an open space on a ledge.

Ashido reveals that he arrived at this spot with some other teammates. He has a flashback of them battling fiercely in a street full of Hollows. The Hollows are retreating and they jump through into Garganta. Ashido and the others all leap through in pursuit. They arrive on the ledge and are immediately surrounded by Hollows.

Their battle attracted the Menos Grande and he was forced to watch as one by one his teammates fell. Finally he and his friend were the only ones left. His friend is injured so he leaves him behind a tree and leaves to fight the Menos. A Hollow appears behind the injured Soul Reaper and charges. There is a gasp and the Hollows mask goes flying.

Ashido hears the sound and runs back to the tree. His friend smiles at him then falls forward with a horn sticking out of his back. Ashido stares in horror as his friend dies. The Menos fire and in anger Ashido grabs the Hollow Mask and blocks the attacks. He leaps forward holding the mask and attacks.

Ashido tells Rukia that he has stayed and fought in order to protect human souls and to keep the promise he made with the ones who lost their lives. Ashido says that he didn’t ask Rukia if the Hollow numbers were decreasing to see how well he had done. Instead he had wanted to be able to tell his friends. Rukia apologizes and Ashido says she shouldn’t be apologizing.

Ashido says that when she meets up with her friends she should hurry back to Soul Society. Ashido points out that if they are not really affecting the Hollow’s numbers there is no point in staying. Rukia thanks him but says that they came to rescue a friend held captive in Las Noches.

Ashido says that there are Vasto Lorde class Hollow there and that normal people would have no chance. Rukia smiles and says that she is a dear friend and that she is not on her own. Rukia asks Ashido why he brought her there and he points to the graves of his friends and says that he wanted them to hear her talk. He says it has been a long time since they heard a Soul Reaper’s voice.

They are interrupted by a heavy reiatsu and Rukia says it is Ichigo. They leap forward but when they arrive at the spot there is nothing there. An Adjuchas appears and says he got rid of all traces of their reiatsu. He calls on a huge group of Gillian and Ashido tells her not to worry since the Gillian will leave if they destroy the Adjuchas.

The Gillian all fire Ceros and Rukia and Ashido dodge. Using a mask from his fur as a shield, Ashido blocks the blasts as he jumps forward. Rukia and Ashido dodge all the blasts and attack the Adjuchas but he blocks with his arm. The Adjuchas sends the Gillian after Rukia but she dodges. Ashido calls out to her.

Rukia hides behind a tree out of sight from the Menos. The Adjuchas appears behind her and stabs out with a claw. Ashido watches in horror and remembers his fallen comrade. He leaps in the way and takes a hit. His mask shatters and he falls backward with a look of shock. Rukia screams out to him as he falls.

Bleach 147: The Forest of Menos! The Search for the Missing Rukia

2008-11-01T12:12:00.000-07:00

Lunuganga reappears in front of Ichigo and the others. Rukia releases her zanpakutou, Sode no Shirayuki. She is about to activate Hakuren but she needs to stab the ground and they are on Bawabawa. Before they can react, Lunuganga opens a sand pit beneath them. Rukia slips off but the others fail to notice.

Rukia is thrown to the side of the pit. She tries to get a grip of something but she is pulled under. Unable to resist, Ichigo and the others are sucked in as well. In a dark area, someone picks up a sword and draws it. Ichigo and the others fall toward the ground in a dark underground forest. Uryuu suddenly catches sight of a group of Menos Grande walking around a ways away.

Bawabawa hits the ground hard. Ichigo, Renji, Uryuu and Chad are all unharmed. Suddenly Nell falls from the sky and lands headfirst on Ichigo. Ichigo falls to the ground clutching his head. Pesche calls from above and suggests that Ichigo move. Ichigo looks up and has Pesche and Dondo Chakka land on him as well.

Ichigo sits up and wonders where they are. Uryuu walks over to a tree and fells it. He is surprised and then he says that they are the same as the ones above. Uryuu comes to the realization that the trees above are the tips of the trees that are below ground.

Chad comments that the forest is very thick. Ichigo turns to find Nell and the other two shaking on the ground. Nell turns sobbing and says that they are in the Menos Forest. Uryuu tells the others of the Menos he saw as they were falling.

Uryuu says that probably the Espada and the Arrancar live on the surface will the other Hollows live below. Ichigo asks Nell if she knows a way out but she says she has never been there before. She only heard stories about it so she does not know. They start panicking and Ichigo tells them to relax.

Uryuu agrees and Uryuu says the Hollow must have a way to get in and out. Suddenly Renji realizes the Rukia is missing. Ichigo asks when they lost her and Uryuu says it must have been when they fell. Rukia wakes up covered in debris. She gets up and calls for Ichigo. Suddenly, she hears something and brings up her zanpakutou.

She looks and sees a bunch of glowing eyes. Someone emerges from a cave wearing a Soul Reaper robe, a large fur and a Hollow mask. After a moment, the figure flash steps away. Rukia defends herself from scores of Hollows. Rukia wonders where they all came from. She calls for Ichigo again then sees a light in the distance.

She blows back the Hollow with ice and runs toward the light. She emerges and gasps as she sees some Menos Grande. They turn to her and one fires a Cero. She takes a step back and the ledge she is on crumbles causing her to trip. The Menos fires and she turns away. Suddenly, the strange figure appears in front of the Cero. He grabs her and flash steps away again.

With Rukia under his arm, he quickly dispatches the two Menos. Rukia catches sight of his worn zanpakutou as he slashes. After they are dealt with he again flash steps away. Ichigo and the others search for Rukia. Uryuu says it is strange since she fell at the same place as them. Ichigo says that since Rukia is small and light, she would fall fly farther away. Renji agrees and Uryuu wonders what they think Rukia is.

Bawabawa starts making noise and Nell translates saying that he will climb the tree and look for Rukia from there. Pesche and Dondo Chakka praise Bawabawa and tell him to take a good look for the “despicable” Soul Reaper. Ichigo and Renji turn to each other and Renji mutters that they were called despicable.

As Bawabawa starts to ascend, Uryuu stops him and says he will help look. Chad agrees and they both jump on Bawabawa. The unknown person carries Rukia under his arm as he jumps from branch to branch. Rukia continually tries to get him to let go but he does not answer.

She grabs his arm and pushes off in the opposite direction. She looks back but he is gone. She gasps, and then he appears in front of her and grabs her once again. She asks him what he is doing. He speaks telling her to be patient because they will arrive at his hideout soon.

Inside a cave somewhere, shadowy figures meet. One says the forest is getting noisy. The next says there are several strange reiatsu there. Another asks what they should do and the last says that “they” will be dead before they know it. Someone else arrives and says that they got a message from Las Noches. The first says that things are getting exciting.

They arrive at the unknown person’s cave and he lets Rukia go. He walks in and she follows. Inside, she takes a look around and sees an orb of light in the ceiling. She asks if he created it with kidou. He does not reply and she says that he really is a Soul Reaper.

She asks him for his name and his squad. She tells him again to say something and he replies that his name is Ashido. He tells her that they are in the Menos Forest. He explains that it is the Menos’ nesting grounds. He picks up his blade and leaps into the air.

Rukia takes a step backward as he lunges for her. She draws her zanpakutou and blocks the first strike. She tries to get an explanation but he ignores her. The second attack sends her flying. She pushes off the wall and strikes back. She notes that he is strong but he uses wild movements.

He flash steps above her and his next attack sends her rolling across the room. She gets to her feet and watches him trying to catch her breath.

Meanwhile, Ichigo calls up to Uryuu asking if they can see anything. Uryuu says they can’t and Uryuu says he is sure he saw Menos but they are gone now. He hears Renji and Ichigo below and looks to see a bunch of Hollows coming toward them. From their position they take out a few of the airborne Hollows.

On the ground, Ichigo and Renji wonder where they are all coming from. As they are fighting, the Hollows start howling. Nell shouts at them all to run away. Pesche and Dondo Chakka tell her not to worry about the “bad guys.”
A shadow falls over them and marks the arrival of the Menos Grande. One of them reaches for Bawabawa. Uryuu and Chad cannot retaliate because Bawabawa is trembling and they cannot get a clear shot. Ichigo blasts it back with Getsuga Tenshou.

They continue to fight the Hollows. Nell watches from behind a tree. Pesche suggests they try to escape. Nell does not want to leave and Pesche tries to convince her to forget about Ichigo. There is a roar behind them and they see a horde of Hollow blocking their escape.

They yell for help and Ichigo turns and calls to Nell. She is being carried off by a flying Hollow as well as Pesche and Dondo Chakka. Ichigo wants to go after them but there are more loud roars and on the edge of their vision they see red eyes. A whole group of Menos Grande emerge from within the forest as Nell and the others fly past.

Chad comments that there are so many and Uryuu says they are the ones he saw earlier. A Menos opens its mouth and fires a Cero. Back at the cave, Rukia battles the mysterious Soul Reaper. She jumps back and asks if he brought her back just to kill her.

Ashido does not answer. He charges and there is an explosion. Rukia is backed against a wall. Ashido asks if that is all. He then points his sword at her. She throws some dirt at him and picks up her sword but he has disappeared.

Suddenly he appears behind her. Rukia turns and her eyes widen. Unable to do anything she watches as Ashido stabs out with his sword.

Bleach 146: The Name is Nel! The appearance of the strange arrancar

2008-11-01T12:09:00.000-07:00

Ichigo, Chad and Uryuu are about to continue toward Aizen's castle Las Noches, when they sense something and turn to see 3 Hollow emerge out of the ground and chase what looks like a cloaked human girl.

Ichigo uses his covered sword to whack the first Hollow in the face. The other two stop in shock and look back. A shadow covers them and they look to see Chad and Uryuu falling toward them. In seconds the 3 Hollow are subdued and trembling. The girl tells Ichigo and the others to stop it. She takes off her hood and reveals a mask.

Nel apologizes with the others for giving Ichigo the wrong idea. She claims that they were playing a game called "eternal tag." She explains that there is nothing fun to do in Hueco Mundo which is why they play. Ichigo asks why she was crying and she says it is no fun if she doesn't make it serious.

Ichigo punches one of the other Hollow and asks what they are teaching her. Uryuu asks her about her name and she introduces herself as the Arrancar Nel. She also introduces the others as her brothers: Dondo Chakka, Pesche and their pet Bawabawa.

Ichigo is confused about their whole setup and asks how Arrancar have families. Nel says that they found each other and decided to be siblings. Ichigo tries to say that they aren't really family, but gives up when Nel and the others freak out.

Ichigo says that she is totally different from the Arrancar that came to the real world. She points out her broken mask to him as proof and says that the ones that travel are Numeros who work for the Espada. Nel and her group agree that they are lucky.

Nel points out that they don't look like Arrancar because of their clothes. She says that Ichigo actually looks like a Soul Reaper and the others agree. Then they freeze and start sweating. There is a moment of silence and then Nel asks Ichigo what his job is. Ichigo says he is a substitute Soul Reaper and Uryuu says he is a Quincy. Chad says he is just a human. Nel and the others freak out and say that they are bad guys.

Ichigo asks if they didn't know who they were. Nel shouts that they never told them. Nel holds her head and says that Ichigo is going to kill them. Ichigo says that he won't but Nel and the others huddle up and ignore him. They decide to get rid of the "bad guys" by tricking them in eternal tag and then beating them up.

Nel asks Ichigo to play then she leaps forward, grabs his zanpakutou and runs away. Ichigo chases after her and Pesche and Dondo Chakka chase after him. Uryuu and Chad are content to watch when Bawabawa starts chasing them and they are forced to run as well.

Suddenly Nel, trips on a branch in her path and falls. Ichigo quickly picks up Nel and jumps out of the way. Like Nel, Pesche and Dondo Chakka trip and fall where Nel was moments before. Uryuu and Chad jump over them and Bawabawa lands on top, flattening them.

Ichigo comments that it was close and Nel asks why he saved her. He puts her down and explains that she would have been crushed by all of them. He asks her if she is alright and she says she is fine. Ichigo picks up his sword and puts it on saying goodbye and that they are in a hurry.

Nel watches in awe as Ichigo starts walking away. She shouts after him, asking if he is running away. Ichigo is confused and he turns around. Then he sees that there are tears in her eyes. He sighs and says that he can't play with her. She starts crying and says that she would rather die than stop playing now.

Suddenly a loud voice shouts that it will give her the death she seeks. There is a loud rumbling and a giant creature rises out of the sand. Nel freaks and Ichigo asks who he is. Nel says that it is the guardian of the white sand, called Lunuganga. Lunuganga says that he heard there were intruders but Nel and company should be ashamed at working with them. He says he will turn them all into desert sand.

Nel starts to stutter an excuse but Ichigo tells her to move and blasts Lunuganga with Getsuga Tenshou. Lunuganga's head is split down the middle and Nel, Pesche and Dondo Chakka gasp and say that it was a cheap shot. They call Ichigo a bad guy and he turns around and shouts at them to be quiet because he just saved them.

Uryuu and Chad look past Ichigo and gasp. They tell him to look and he turns to see Lunuganga's head coming back together with sand. Lunuganga comments that Ichigo is becoming more despicable by not acknowledging a cheap shot. Ichigo starts shouting back that it wasn't unfair at all. He turns to Nel and asks what Lunuganga is. She replies that he is made of sand.

Lunuganga interrupts them by throwing a punch. Ichigo dodges it and Lunuganga makes a tornado and sends it at them. Nel is lifted off the ground and Ichigo grabs her hand just in time. He pulls her back down and the cyclone dissipates.

In response, Lunuganga spawns three more cyclones and sends them at Ichigo and the others. Ichigo uses Getsuga Tenshou and the blast cuts through the cyclone and Lunuganga's face, but he reforms both and laughs.

Uryuu suggests that they all attack at once. They all charge and fire blasts at the monster. The blasts connect and Lunuganga disintegrates. Nel warns them that he is coming back and a crater opens up beneath their feet.

They are being pulled in and Nel is sinking. Ichigo grabs her and asks Nel if he has a weakness. Nel says she can't tell it to a bad guy. Ichigo picks her up and pinches her cheek telling her that she will be pulled in too. She tells him that his weakness is water but there is no water in Hueco Mundo so he is invincible.

Lunuganga emerges and opens his mouth to swallow them all. At the last moment, a blast of ice freezes him. He falls backward and shatters. Ichigo looks in the direction of the blast and his eyes widen.

Rukia and Renji stand on a nearby hill. In Soul Society, Commander Yamamoto is informed that Rukia and Renji have gone missing. He curses as he realizes what they have done. Nel is frightened by the new Soul Reapers but Ichigo runs toward them.

They jump from their hill and wait for him, smiling. As he greets them, Rukia punches him in the chin. She then tags Renji who smashes Ichigo in the jaw. Nel gapes and Uryuu asks Ichigo if he is alright. Ichigo lies on the ground and Rukia tells him he is stupid for not waiting for them.

Ichigo says he wasn't sure if they were coming back. Rukia shouts in his face that they were coming back no matter what. She reveals that they had planned it from the beginning. She says that they are his friends. Ichigo says they are right.

Rukia then asks about Nel's group and there follows an embarrassing scene as they try to introduce themselves in a cool way. Ichigo gives a short explanation and they are about to continue to Las Noches when Nel calls after Ichigo calling him "Itsygo." He turns to correct her and she says they will help too.

They ride on Bawabawa's back toward Las Noches. During the trip, Nel holds on to Ichigo and glares at Rukia. Rukia asks why and Nel asks her what her relationship is with "Itsygo." Renji says Ichigo is popular with the ladies and Ichigo tells him to shut up.

They talk some more and Ichigo asks about how they got their cloaks. Rukia shyly says that her brother gave them. Ichigo and the others are surprised and Ichigo says Byakuya is getting soft. Rukia then says that Byakuya said: "That filthy brat will never survive Hueco Mundo if he's left to his own devices." Ichigo gets angry and punches Bawabawa by mistake.

He is interrupted by a loud rumbling and then Lunuganga emerges from the sand in front of them.

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.

Bleach Episode 142 Summary

When Ichigo wakes up completely healed, he senses a spiritual pressure around him, and Hitsugaya suddenly shows up in his room to confirm that it’s Inoue that he senses. Hitsugaya claims that they have an emergency, so Ichigo goes with him back to Inoue’s apartment where they proceed to contact Soul Society. It is here that they learn from Ukitake that Inoue has either been abducted or already killed by the Arrancar. This enrages Ichigo because they only know that Inoue disappeared with the Arrancar, so they can’t say that she’s dead yet. When Ichigo uses his healed wounds as proof that she’s still alive, Yamamoto appears on the other side of the transmission and concludes that if Ichigo’s story is true, then Inoue is indeed still living. However, Yamamoto also figures that this means Inoue has betrayed them because she wouldn’t have gotten a chance to go see Ichigo if she had been abducted, meaning that she had to have gone to the Arrancar on her own.

Hearing this just gets Ichigo angrier, but Renji steps in and vows to go to Hueco Mundo to open Inoue’s eyes to reality. Unfortunately, Yamamoto refuses to let him and wants all of them to return to Soul Society instead. When Rukia says that they can’t obey this order, Yamamoto has Byakuya and Zaraki appear through a gate to force the group to go back. Ichigo still intends to save Inoue without Soul Society’s help, and he wants to know how to get to Hueco Mundo, but Yamamoto turns him down because Ichigo’s power is needed for the upcoming battle. That night, Shinji finds that Ichigo had left a bag filled with cleaned bandages and a note saying thanks. Over at the Kurosaki house, Ichigo’s sister and father are trying to get him to eat dinner, but he doesn’t feel like it. Even Kon can’t get a reaction out of him because he’s so lost in thought. At school the next day, Ichigo gets lectured by his teacher and later gets a ticket from his friend Mizuiro for a preview screening of a movie. The date for that is December 5th, and Ichigo thinks that he’ll come back by then.

Ichigo then starts walking away from his friends, but Tatsuki stops him. She has been searching for Inoue, and she thinks that Ichigo knows something. When he plays dumb, she grabs his collar and reveals that she hasn’t been able to sense Inoue since yesterday. She really gets his attention by saying that she’s seen him in a black kimono fighting strange people, but Ichigo answers by claiming that it has nothing to do with her. Tatsuki punches Ichigo for this and, as she’s being restrained by Keigo, she questions what she is to Ichigo. She had thought they were friends and remembers all the times she helped him when they were kids. Without directly responding to her, Ichigo leaves her in Keigo and Mizuiro’s hands, and he asks them not to be concerned about him. As Ichigo starts to walk away, Tatsuki can only scream that he’s an idiot.

Later that night, Ichigo shows up at Urahara’s house where Urahara is waiting for him. Urahara had figured out that Ichigo would think that he was the only person who knows how to get to Hueco Mundo, so he made preparations. He is helping because feels responsible for what happened to Inoue, and he doesn’t mind disobeying Soul Society since that’s the reason he came here originally. In the training area underneath the store, Ichigo meets up with Ishida and Sado, and both want to go with him to Hueco Mundo. Ichigo doesn’t think that they’re strong enough, so Sado proves that he’s gotten stronger by throwing a punch. He wants Ichigo to believe in them, and he feels that Ichigo shouldn’t have to bear the burden alone - that’s what comrades are for. With Sado, Ishida, and Ichigo together now, Urahara thinks that their preparations are finally complete.

Bleach Episode 141 Summary

Having returned to her apartment, Inoue is writing out some housekeeping instructions for Rangiku and Hitsugaya. On her wrist is a bracelet from Ulquiorra that makes it so that only Arrancar can recognize her existence while also allowing her to pass through any substance. In addition, Ulquiorra had given her 12 hours to say goodbye to only one person, and that person isn’t allowed to realize the truth. Around this time, over at Urahara’s underground training area, Ikkaku and Yumichika are making a lot of noise while getting bandaged up for their wounds while Hitsugaya watches over them. Noticing that Urahara has been deep in thought ever since the Arrancar left, Hitsugaya considers how lucky they were to get out with only this much damage against all those Espada. He knows that the Arrancar preparations are already complete, so they have to hurry with their own preparations. Unfortunately though, they’re having trouble contacting Soul Society.

Inoue meanwhile is walking through the streets when she accidentally bumps into someone, but that person is unable to see her. She then notices that she has no reflection in a store window and that she is able to pass her hand right through it. Still thinking about who she’s going to say goodbye to, Inoue heads to school and stares at Ichigo’s desk. When she hears some students coming, she hides in the front of the room, but accidentally knocks over Ichigo’s chair in the process. The two students turn out to be Mizuiro and Keigo, and seeing the knocked over chair causes them to start talking about how Inoue, Sado, and Rukia have all been absent. When Keigo thinks that he and Mizuiro been left out of something, Mizuiro suggests that they’re probably not the only ones and cites Tatsuki too. This causes Inoue to start thinking about her memories with Tatsuki, and she sees Tatsuki walking with the karate club a short while later. Tatsuki senses something when a soccer ball gets kicked towards Inoue and passes through her head, but Tatsuki gets called away by her club before either she or Inoue can act.

Later that night, Rukia is having trouble contacting Inoue who she still thinks is in Soul Society. Rukia is currently in Ichigo’s room watching over him as he rests after Hachigen had used a spatial regression technique to repair him. Since she’s been kept in the dark, Rukia is left wondering who the Vizards are, what power Ichigo is trying to obtain, and why the Arrancar suddenly stopped fighting and left. She’s thinking about going to Inoue’s apartment when she hears Yuzu and Karin outside the room, and she finds that the two have brought dinner. After eating, Rukia washes her plate and has a brief chat with Ichigo’s father who thinks that Ichigo got beat up by students from another school. She then leaves for Inoue’s apartment, but unbeknownst to her, Inoue arrives at Ichigo’s house soon after. Using her bracelet power to pass through his window, Inoue enters Ichigo’s room and tells the still-sleeping him that she’s come to say goodbye even though there are a lot of other people she wants to say goodbye to too.

Noticing Ichigo’s sisters sleeping on the floor beside his bed with the dirty dishes beside them, Inoue guesses that they wanted to eat with him in his room after he had been gone for so long, and this makes her realize that this is the first time she’s come to his room by herself. With Ichigo’s smell all around her, Inoue bends down and tries to kiss him, but she stops just short and starts crying instead because she can’t do it. Taking a step back, Inoue admits that she had a lot of things she wanted to do, including becoming a teacher, becoming an astronaut, running her own cake shop, going to the doughnut shop to order everything, and going to the ice cream shop to order everything. She thinks of how nice it would be to live her life five times over so that she could be born in five different places, eat five different things, and have five different jobs. For all five times though, she feels that she would fall in love with the same person. Inoue then thanks Ichigo and bids him farewell. Back in her own room, on the notebook she had been writing in earlier, Inoue had signed off with the words “good bye. halcyon days.”

Bleach Episode 140 Summary

Having managed to avoid Wonderwice Margera’s attack, Urahara wonders what technique it was, and he gets his answer when Yammy hits him with the same attack. Yammy then gleefully reveals that this Bala attack is not as strong as a Cero, but it’s 20 times faster. He proceeds to fire shot after shot of it at Urahara, and even Luppi thinks that Urahara can’t live through it. Luppi then turns back to his own fight, and he gets pissed off when Rangiku calls him extremely chatty and says that that’s the kind of man she hates. Before Luppi can do anything though, he discovers that all of his tentacles have been suddenly encased in ice. This is the doing of Hitsugaya who has recovered from the earlier attack and now critiques Luppi for not following through. Since Luppi is so surprised to see him still alive, Hitsugaya explains that his Hyourinmaru is the strongest of all the ice types and that it can be revived no matter how many times it gets broken as long as there is water. If Luppi’s weapons are his eight arms, then Hitsugaya’s weapon is all the water in the atmosphere, and he uses it all to surround the Espada in a prison of ice.

Yammy meanwhile also gets a surprise when Urahara appears behind him and mocks his fear of Aizen getting angry. After having seen the Bala attack a ton of times now, Urahara feels that he won’t be hit by it anymore and strikes back at Yammy. The reason he had managed to survive the earlier attacks is because he had swapped himself out with his new portable gigai. Furious that he’s being belittled, Yammy tries to use the Bala attack again, but Urahara easily cancels it out because he’s figured out how it works. Elsewhere in the city, Ichigo is getting beat up by Grimmjow as he attempts to re-summon his mask. Grimmjow uses the opportunity to pin down Ichigo’s arms by spearing them with his sword, and he then charges up a Cero blast at point-blank range, but he doesn’t get to fire it because Rukia arrives to freeze his arm and body. With Grimmjow immobilized, Rukia attempts to pull out the sword from Ichigo’s arms, though unfortunately for her, Grimmjow breaks free and grabs her head. He attempts to finish her with a direct Cero blast to her head, and this time it’s Shinji who shows up to save her. Shinji claims to hate to get involved in Shinigami battles, but he feels it can’t be helped in this instance.

Despite Shinji not wanting to tell Grimmjow who he is, Grimmjow still attacks him. This leads to Shinji putting on his Hollow mask, and the battle quickly shifts in his favor, culminating in Shinji firing a large Cero blast. Grimmjow survives it only by firing his own Cero before Shinji’s hits him, and he responds by trying to release his true form, but he gets stopped by Ulquiorra who announces that their mission has been accomplished. All of the Arrancar then get surrounded by the Negación light, and it breaks the ice prison that Luppi was in. Before they disappear, both Yammy and Luppi vow to get back at their respective opponents the next time they meet. Ulquiorra meanwhile notices that there are traces of spiritual force that point to a new power from Ichigo, but he questions the extent of the power and feels that this is th

Only two people know this technique, that is Soi Fon and Yoruichi. the military uniform, both worn by Yourichi and Soi Fon, is designed with a back or sleeves because of the high pressure built up, surrounding the back and shoulders of the user as Kidou is gathered. It will then empower the user in battle, thus the material on the back and shoulders are blown off.

Shunpo - A technique also known as flash step. It allows a Shinigami to move a great distance very quickly within seconds.

Souls - There are two type of Souls - Plus and Hollow. Plus is the most common one that roams around places and does no harm, but those with strong regrets in the current world will bind themselves to their focus of regret by the Chain of Fate. If the focus is a person, they become 'obsessed spirits', and if the focus is a place, they become 'earthbound spirits'. Hollow, on the other hand attacks other beings (mainly those with high-spiritual density) and eat their souls.

Soul Society - Divided into two main areas - One is 'seireitei' where most the Shinigami live. It is surrounded by a barrier and a wall that is made by a special mineral which completely blocks out all spiritual energy. The second 'rukongai' - the outskirts where the souls live when they first arrive to Soul Society. It is also the poorest area, but still holding most of the souls. It is split into four portions: east, west, south, and north. Each of those is further split into eighty areas with the latter areas are the worst place to live in.

Souma-fixers - Something that helps the user to synchronize to their Gigai. But if used too much, it will be painful to leave the Gigai as the synchronization level is high.

Spearhead - This is the name of the program that was given to the development of mod souls in the Soul-Society.

Spirit-Scaterring Gauntlet - A glove used only used by the Quincy. It has the power to disperse spirit particles at a high level. When a Quincy puts it on and forms a bow, if he or she can maintain it for seven days and seven nights, the Quincy can come very close to the pinnacle of Quincy power. However, it cannot be taken off. If so, the ability to draw in spirit energy to form a bow will surpass the limits of a Quincy. The Quincy will temporarily gain immeasurable power, but he or she will surely lose all of his or her Quincy powers.

• T

Target Leeches - Some Hollows use them; There kinda like claymore mines they explode when ever they are detonated.

Tenshintai - A rare artifact of the special operation division that can forcefully materialize the soul of the Zanpakutou.

Tentouken - Sky flyer. A unique artifact in the Soul Society. The user will be able to fly using it by putting some spiritual energy in it.

• U

Under-Pod - Type of mod-soul that was designed to have leg strength(This is what Kon is).

• W

Wakizashi - A wakizashi was used as a samurai's weapon when the Katana was unavailable. When entering a building, a samurai would leave his katana on a rack near the entrance. However, the wakizashi would be worn at all times, and therefore, it made a sidearm for the samurai (similar to a soldier's use of a pistol). The samurai would have worn it from the time they awoke to the time they went to sleep. (thanks James)

• Z

Zanpakutou - The Shinigami gains their Zanpakutou when they graduate from the academy (central institute of spiritual art). Each Shinigami has their own unique zanpakutou, and it reflects from the owner's personality and power. The Zanpakutou has two levels of release - Shi-kai (Initial Release) and Ban-kai (Ban release) which will increase the user's attack power. But in order to do so, they must learn the Zanpakutou's name and its c

Bleach Episode 139 Summary

Emerging from a dark cloud with his mask on, Ichigo claims that he doesn’t have time to explain and immediately attacks Grimmjow with a point-blank range Getsuga Tenshou. Across town, Hitsugaya isn’t able to do any damage to Yammy without activating his ban kai, and Yumichika’s faring poorly against Luppi. Ikkaku doesn’t help his friend because he isn’t interested in fighting two against one, though this gives Luppi an idea. He asks Yammy to give him Hitsugaya and then proposes that he fight all four Shinigami at once in his released form. Remembering what Shawlong could do in his released form Hitsugaya activates his ban kai and charges Luppi, but he doesn’t make it in time to stop him. Before the dust can clear from Luppi’s release, a tentacle strikes out at him, though Hitsugaya is able to block it with his ice wings. As it turns out, Luppi’s released form gives him eight tentacles, and he proceeds to attack Hitsugaya with all of them at once, causing the captain to crash into the ground. Meanwhile, Rukia has arrived in the real world and finds Renji getting a massage from the three mod-souls, so Renji explains how he exhausted his spiritual pressure in training and how Urahara went out instead of him or Sado.

Back above the city, Grimmjow is badly wounded from Ichigo’s attack and realizes that this isn’t a Shinigami’s strength. He demands to know what Ichigo did in this past month, but Ichigo reiterates that he doesn’t have time to explain and sandwiches Grimmjow between two Getsuga Tenshou attacks. As Grimmjow falls towards the ground, he manages to fire off a Cero blast that forces Ichigo to stop and defend himself. Grimmjow then flies back up and clashes swords with Ichigo several times before Ichigo regains his advantage and gets ready to make a swing that will end this. Unfortunately for him, his mask breaks right at that moment, and Grimmjow quickly uses the opportunity to retaliate. By now, Luppi is fighting Rangiku, Ikkaku, and Yumichika all at once and manages to grab all three with his tentacles. Admiring Rangiku’s body in particular, he sprouts some spikes on another of his tentacles and offers to fill her with holes. Before he can do so though, Urahara shows up and cuts off those two tentacles. However, shortly after Urahara introduces himself, Wonderwice Margera attacks him, and Urahara has to defend himself.

In Soul Society, Inoue is allowed passage through the dangai to the real world and is given two Shinigami as escorts. As they’re running through though, a rift in the dimensional fabric opens up and Ulquiorra appears. Recognizing him from the previous battle, Inoue tries to stop him from hurting her escorts, but he ignores her and blows away half of one Shinigami. Before that Shinigami can die, Inoue uses her power to start healing him and tells the other guy to run away. That escort doesn’t get a chance to do so because Ulquiorra blows a huge chunk out of him too, forcing Inoue to expand her healing to cover both men. Admiring Inoue’s power, Ulquiorra tells her to come with him and instructs her to reply with a yes. If she says anything other than that, he threatens to kill not her, but her friends who are currently struggling in their battles in the real world. He then reveals that Aizen wants her power and that he’s been sent to bring her back unharmed, so he’s ordering her to come with him.

Bleach Episode 138 Summary

In Las Noches, Ulquiorra and Yammy arrive in a room as Aizen about to complete an Arrancar using the 50% awakened Hougyoku. Despite its state, Aizen knows that he can temporarily fully awaken the Hougyoku by fusing it with someone who has twice as much spiritual pressure as a captain - someone such as himself. It is through this method that he finishes creating a young-looking Arrancar who identifies himself as Wonderwice Margera. With this done, Aizen sends Ulquiorra to execute the instructions he gave a month ago, and although he lets Ulquiorra choose who he wants to take with him, Aizen personally asks Grimmjow if he wants to go. Back at the Vizard camp, it’s been one month since Ichigo started his training, yet he’s only able to maintain his Hollow form for only 10 seconds. With two months left, Shinji feels that time is running out. Meanwhile in Soul Society, Hisagi finds Ukitake watching Inoue and Rukia train after Rukia had come to him personally to ask him to open up the training area. He’s glad that Rukia has a friend even if it is with a human, though he admits Inoue isn’t any normal human. As for Hisagi, he’s here to give Ukitake a magazine since he’s taken on of more captain duties in the absence of so many people. After Hisagi leaves to take care of other business, Ukitake thinks about little time they have and hopes that this temporary peace can last a little longer.

In the real world, Yumichika is getting quite frustrated with his zanpaktou while the others are trying to having a quiet dialogue with their swords. Soon after Ikkaku notices how fast the clouds are moving, all of them sense the arrival of four Arrancar. Among this group is Grimmjow who flies off as soon as he realizes that Ichigo isn’t here, and though Yammy tries to get him to stop, the Arrancar named Luppi thinks that it doesn’t matter since Grimmjow isn’t an Espada anymore. As Yammy leaps down to fight, Hitsugaya meets him halfway and the two introduce themselves. Luppi, the new No. 6, meanwhile faces off against Ikkaku and Yumichika while Rangiku tries to fight Wonderwice, but the boy is too intrigued by the nearby birds to care. Across the city, Ichigo has also sensed the Arrancar’s arrivals and wants to head out, but he’s held back by Love and Kensei. To their surprise, Shinji lets Ichigo go, and Ichigo rushes off. News of this has also reached Soul Society, but Inoue can’t go back to the real world until she can get safe passage through the dangai since she doesn’t have a Hell Butterfly. After saying that she’ll be waiting for Inoue, Rukia hurries towards the gate thinking about how it’s too early for the Espada to have appeared.

By now, Ichigo has reached Grimmjow and almost immediately initiates ban kai. Grimmjow isn’t impressed, but Ichigo reminds him that the scar he has is from an attack Ichigo did while in ban kai. When Ichigo then asks Grimmjow about his absent left arm, Grimmjow claims that he threw it away and doesn’t need two arms to kill Ichigo. As Grimmjow starts to power up, Ichigo gets ready to put on his Hollow mask, knowing that he has to finish this fight in the 11 seconds he can stay in that form. Over at Urahara’s shop, Renji tries to keep Sado from leaving to go help in the battle, but Urahara wants both of them to rest and decides to go personally in their place.

Bleach Episode 137 Summary

Returning to the room where the Hougyoku was stolen, Aizen dissipates Ulquiorra’s body and sheaths his own zanpaktou. After Aizen sits down, Ichimaru shows up and comments on how Aizen is letting Patras think that he killed Ulquiorra and took the Hougyoku. Aizen admits that he sent the real Ulquiorra to do something else, and when Ichimaru claims that he could have taken care of this, Aizen says that that would have been boring. Meanwhile, in the real world, Ururu and Jinta both try to attack Patras, but neither can hurt him, and when Renji emerges from the nearby rubble, he instructs them to go get Urahara. With them gone, Renji initiates limit lifting and ban kai, and the force of Zabimaru’s subsequent attack surprises Patras. It smashes Patras through the ground and into training area below the store, but Renji is aware that the battle isn’t anywhere near over yet. Elsewhere in the city, Hitsugaya and Rangiku are having a bit of trouble with the Arrancar that they’re facing whereas Ikkaku is having a bit more luck getting through the armor of his opponent.

Back at the underground area, Patras uses the level ten version of his attack, but it isn’t able to stop Zabimaru, so Patras has to get out of the way. Although he generally looks down upon Shinigami, Patras decides not to take Renji lightly and decides to change into his real form. Now at max level, Patras’ attacks are finally able to stop Zabimaru, and one of them actually breaks the skeletal links. Renji manages to protect himself from the attack, and afterwards, he questions what Patras intends to do with the Hougyoku. Patras’ admission that he wants to take over the world makes Renji realize that he’s rebelling against Aizen, but right as Patras is saying that Hueco Mundo shouldn’t have a Shinigami become its ruler, his two allies come crashing in from above. Heavily injured and on the run, both of them want to know if Patras has found out how to use the Hougyoku, and after finding out that he hasn’t yet, both die. Renji then re-links Zabimaru and attacks one more time, but he’s unable to overcome Patras’ attacks and gets thrown against some rocks. With Patras getting ready to finish Renji off, it’s the mod-souls who come to the rescue once again to distract the Arrancar while they help Renji to a safer location.

Having apparently figured out Patras’ weakness, Ririn sets up a plan with Renji and then confronts Patras head on. She taunts him into attacking her, but right after Patras finishes firing and tries to close his claw, Claude appears and prevents him from fully doing so. Ririn then reveals that she knows Patras accumulates his energy in his sheath and releases it with his sword, meaning that if he can’t sheath his sword, he can’t attack again. Patras then tries to shoot them with his other arm, but Nova appears with his shield to take the hit, and Ririn gets Renji to finish Patras off. One large blast later, Patras is dead and the Hougyoku drops to the ground. Both Urahara’s group and Hitsugaya’s group show up soon after, and Urahara reveals that these Arrancar were being manipulated by Aizen. The Hougyoku that Patras had was only a fake, and Urahara thinks that they had probably been set up by Aizen’s zanpaktou - Kyouka Suigetsu. He isn’t positive why Aizen intentionally let them have the Hougyoku, but he does think that it has something to do with how, on the way back to the store, he and the others had accidentally run into Ulquiorra at the spot where Ulquiorra and Yammy had originally appeared. Urahara thus suspects that Aizen had a different objective and was using Patras to create an uproar as a diversion.

Around this time, in Hueco Mundo, Ulquiorra is reporting on his investigation into Inoue’s powers and how they could help Aizen. As for where Inoue is right now, Ulquiorra only knows that she isn’t in the real world, and Aizen commends him on job well done.

Bleach Episode 136 Summary

In Las Noches, an Arrancar named Patras arrives in the room where the Hougyoku is being held, but he gets caught by Ulquiorra who reminds him that this is a place he can’t enter without Aizen’s permission. Patras, however, doesn’t understand all this reverence to Aizen and questions why they have to do what a Shinigami tells them to and why their freedom has been taken away. Feeling that this place changed after Aizen showed up, Patras doesn’t intend to obey a Shinigami and wants to use the Hougyoku himself to control this world. When Ulquiorra doesn’t think that someone who’s not even an Espada can do anything, Patras reveals that he has two allies who promptly attack. Ulquiorra is caught off guard and ends up getting slashed and stabbed until he falls. Patras then takes the Hougyoku with the intent of becoming king and heads off to the real world with his allies to find the person who knows how to use it. Hitsugaya, Rangiku, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Renji all responds to the Arrancar arrival, though since Renji is furthest away, he doesn’t join the others in facing off against Patras’ friends, both of whom release and transform.

While one Arrancar fights Hitsugaya and Rangiku and the other gets to battle Ikkaku, Patras is in the meantime passing through the city when he encounters Kon. Shortly thereafter, Renji finds a scratched up Kon who reveals that Patras is headed for Urahara’s store. Already there, Patras tells Jinta and Ururu that he wants to meet the person who knows how to use the Hougyoku, but Renji arrives in time to tell him that Urahara isn’t here. In fact, Urahara, Tessai, and Sado had earlier headed off to make some purchases to restock the store, leaving Renji and the others to tend to the shop. Since Patras wants to wait for Urahara’s return, Renji draws his zanpaktou and starts the battle. Ririn and the other mod-souls meanwhile return to their human-sized bodies so that they can help out, and they save Renji from getting hit again by Patras’ super-fast sword draw technique after he had already gotten knocked into the ground by it once. They then use their powers to catch Patras off guard and manage to land several hits, but the Arrancar soon turns the tables by knocking all three out. With Renji still rearing to fight, Patras proceeds to use the second level of his twenty level sword technique which hits with so much force that it knocks up a cloud of dust that covers the entire store. Unbeknownst to them, a recovered Ulquiorra has also arrived in Karakura.

Bleach Episode 135 Summary

When Kon and Rangiku see a girl fall into the river after trying to retrieve her stuffed animal from the water, Rangiku brings out Kon’s modsoul and throws it into that stuffed animal so that he can save her. Kon succeeds, but afterwards, the combination of the young girl not letting go of him and a crowd gathering to see what happens prevents him from returning to his normal body. With Rangiku leaving him behind, Kon is taken to the girl’s home, and the fact that he is alive is soon given away when she tries to blow-dry him through his mouth. However, the girl, whose name is Miyuki, is delighted rather than surprised because she had been wishing for Shintarou - her dog stuffed animal - to come alive. Kon then notices that Miyuki appears to be living alone in a relatively large and well-furnish apartment, so she explains that her mother is at work and that they left their father because her mother that felt he wasn’t good for anything. When Miyuki wants to play, Kon has no choice but to let her put a dress on him and feed him rubber dolls because he doesn’t want her to cry.

Afterwards, Kon suggests that they go outside to play with friends, but Miyuki refuses because she doesn’t have or need any friends. The only reason she had been outside earlier is because she had wanted to see her old house where she had lived with her parents and a real dog named Shintarou. Unfortunately, the real Shintarou had gotten hit by a car around the time Miyuki and her mother left her father. Seeing how lonely Miyuki is, Kon decides that they should go to this house, and the two have relatively little difficulty getting there. However, no one seems to be living there anymore, and across the street, Miyuki finds the flower and vase that mark the spot where Shintarou got hit by a car. When Miyuki touches the vase, Kon suddenly senses something bad and says that they should leave. The roar of a Hollow causes the electricity poles around them to topple over, cutting off their escape and giving them no choice but to enter the grounds to the house. Before they can get very far though, a two-headed Hollow appears before them.

Kon attempts to kick a bucket at the Hollow and then run away with Miyuki, but the Hollow heads the other way around the house and cuts them off. Saying that he’ll protect Miyuki, Kon attacks the Hollow, however his stuffed-animal kicks have no effect and he gets batted around instead. Still, with the Hollow going after Miyuki, Kon gets back up and continues trying to fight, even as his body is getting ripped up and smashed into the ground. What ultimately stops the Hollow from advancing towards Miyuki is her calling out Shintarou’s name to come save her, and it causes one of the heads to bite the other. It is at this moment that Rangiku enters the battle to slay the Hollow, and Kon sees the souls of two dogs emerge from it afterwards, one of them being the real Shintarou. When Miyuki comes over to hug his battered body, Kon tells her that she was saved by the real Shintarou, but he also makes it clear that she can’t rely on him and should make other friends. Recalling his own past as a modified soul and how his friends have helped him, Kon tells her that she should make friends if she’s lonely. Since he has to go now, Kon promises Miyuki that he and the real Shintarou are always watching over her, and he urges her to do her best.

In the aftermath, Miyuki gets reunited with her mother, and Rangiku returns Kon to his normal body. When she asks Kon about why he supported Miyuki so much, he proudly says that it’s because he’s an idol to children.

Bleach Episode 134 Summary

Having been ordered by Yamamoto to send someone to look into making the limit-lifting procedure simpler and to examine Arrancar and Espada spirit residue, Mayuri passes the task along to the Technology Development Bureau. Rin gets the job because only she wants to go to the real world, though in truth she wants to go mainly to eat sweets. Joining her is Hanatarou, and the two first head to Urahara’s shop where Urahara appoints Yumichika to show them where the Arrancar appeared. After Rin manages to get the readings she needs, the two pass by a shop where Rin buys some cake with the help of a machine that lets other people see souls. However, before they can move on, they encounter the soul of a baker who is chained to the store. Yumichika wants to send him to Soul Society, but Rin and Hanatarou want to listen to what the man has to say first. It seems that this baker, whose name is Momoyama Heita, got hit by a car and has a mother who keeps visiting the spot where he died. Since his mother never tasted one of his cakes, Momoyama wants to teach Yumichika and the others how to make a cake so that they can give one to his mother to eat. Rin really wants to do it, so they use Urahara’s kitchen and get going on their first attempt.

After a few problems as the group learns the steps, they finish the cake, but Momoyama wants someone who’s eaten cake before to taste it. Since Hanatarou, Yumichika, and Rin all haven’t, the duty falls to Renji and Sado who are still in training. When those two find it disgusting, the newly trained bakers are forced to go through several more iterations until they finally get it right. They then make their way back to the bakery and find Momoyama’s mother laying some flowers where he died. When they present her the cake, she surprisingly turns it down, stating that she can’t eat cake anymore because it reminds her of her son. In trying to chase after his mother, Momoyama accidentally knocks the cake to the ground, though it lands right side up and manages to keep its general form. Desperate for his mother not to leave, Momoyama suddenly experiences great pain as his chain starts crackling with red energy. At the same time, a Menos Grande appears, so Yumichika leaps up to fight it. After Momoyama chains up his mother to prevent her from leaving, Hanatarou decides to use his zanpaktou on the baker’s soul. He stops Momoyama from becoming a Hollow by hitting the chain at the spot where it attaches to Momoyama’s chest, allowing the zanpaktou to fill up and transforming it into a scalpel. Hanatarou then uses the stored energy of his zanpaktou against the Menos Grande, and Yumichika finishes it off.

A recovered Momoyama now rushes to her mother’s side, and she can now seem him thanks to Rin’s machine. Momoyama then tells his mother about the cake, so she tastes it and finds it delicious. Afterwards, she apologizes to him and promises that she won’t say it hurts to look at cakes again

Bleach Episode 133 Summary

Keigo’s sister Mizuho arrives at the kendo club to find its members all beat up after having been attacked the previous night by a rival school’s club. The goal of the rival club was to get them to pull out of the upcoming district tournament, and Karakura High School’s club is ready to do just that if not for Mizuho stopping them. She brings in Ikkaku to train the five first-years who didn’t get hurt, and to Keigo’s surprise, Ikkaku agrees to do it. He thus begins the freshmen on a training regiment from hell, and by the end of it, only one of them - a boy named Shinji - still has the spirit to spar with Ikkaku. Seeing him work so hard at this, Keigo asks Ikkaku why he’s doing it, and Ikkaku replies that it’s fun, but he also admits that it’s been a while since he’s seen eyes that desperately want to become stronger like Shinji has. The next day, Ikkaku finds the other four freshmen too injured to continue, and since Mizuho refuses to pull out of the competition, Ikkaku decides to go ask the other Shinigami to help. Unfortunately, both Rangiku and Yumichika turn him down because the kendo gear stinks too badly for them to wear.

Ikkaku eventually coerces Hitsugaya to help and gets Urahara to send Renji, but they’re still short one person even with Shinji included. They have no choice but to use the completely inexperienced Keigo, though Ikkaku isn’t worried because only three of them have to win out of five matches total. During the actual tournament, Hitsugaya easily wins the first round and Keigo loses the second round as expected. Before Renji’s match, he senses a Hollow, so he quickly gets the second win before heading off. The other Shinigami have to go too, leaving just Shinji behind as the fourth fighter. Ikkaku knows that he’ll win even if Shinji loses, but he feels that the person who wants to win the most is Shinji, so he urges him to go become a man. He then fights and defeat a Menos Grande with the others, and afterwards, Ikkaku rushes back to the competition. He arrives in time to see Shinji win, but Ikkaku still wants his own chance to fight in the competition, so he beats up the entire opposing team, including their leader that Mizuho has a grudge against for dumping her.

Bleach Episode 132 Summary

Because she’s so concerned about her brother, Karin one day accidentally kicks her soccer ball too hard and causes it to fall towards the nearby road. Luckily, a stranger - Hitsugaya - stops it before it enters the intersection and returns it to her. However, he then disappears. Karin is on her way to practice soccer with her friends, but when she gets there, she finds that the junior high school students are unwilling to give up the field. She ends up arguing with the older kids through the afternoon until one of them finally suggests that they settle it with a soccer match the following Saturday. Her friends don’t think that they can win and suggest getting Ichigo to help, but she tells them that he’s on a trip. On the way home, they run into Hitsugaya again, and, after trying to get to know him, Karin asks him to help them with the game. When Hitsugaya starts to walk off, Karin kicks her ball at him, and he surprises them by returning it via a bicycle kick. The kids gather around him in amazement, but Hitsugaya soon gets a cell phone notification of a Hollow, and he notices that Karin seems to sense something too. Since he’s the closest one, he runs off to fight it.

Karin goes searching for Hitsugaya again the next day and finds him in the same spot again. In an attempt to talk with him, she asks why he comes here, so Hitsugaya explains that this spot is the best place to view the sky - it brings back memories of the time he spent with Hinamori in his childhood. Hitsugaya then gets another cell phone notification of a Hollow and when he attempts to rush off again, Karin stops him because she senses something bad again. Fortunately, one of the other Shinigami soon defeats the Hollow, making it unnecessary for him to go. Karin then tries to get him to come practice with her friends, but Hitsugaya doesn’t give her a straight answer. He does end up coming to watch Karin and her friends practice, but he leaves when Matsumoto shows up and starts teasing him about having an interest in Karin. Hitsugaya doesn’t show up when the day of the match arrives, leaving Karin and her friends to play the junior high school kids by themselves. To make matters worse, in the opening play, one of the older kids injures Karin’s leg and rendering her ineffective, further crippling the team. The junior high team quickly goes up four goals to Karin’s team’s none, but then Hitsugaya finally shows up.

With Hitsugaya’s skills, the team is quickly able to even the score, and he even lets Karin kick the goal that wins it. Afterwards, he wants to talk with her about something, but he never gets around to it because a Hollow suddenly appears. Karin is surprised that Hitsugaya can see the Hollow, but she’s also unwilling to run away because of her friends there who are now unconscious. When she kicks a soccer ball at its face, the Hollow responds by trying to smash her with its fist. Acting quickly, Hitsugaya brings out his Shinigami form and saves her. He proceeds to use his ice powers to defeat the monster and manages to slice it in half before it can use its cero blast. Once the battle is over, Karin asks him if he knows where Ichigo is since she just saw that Hitsugaya is a Shinigami too. He’s shocked to find out that she’s Ichigo’s little sister, but he admits to not knowing of Ichigo’s whereabouts. Still, he does say that Ichigo is becoming stronger, just like she is, and he tells her not to worry. Karin then gets to meet Matsumoto, and she’s impressed that Hitsugaya has a vice-captain even though he’s a grade-schooler. This of course gets him really mad because, despite how he looks, he’s not actually in elementary school.

Bleach Episode 131 Summary

Despite Yui telling him to run away, Shouta still rushes to her side and is shocked to see the real form of the pseudo-Arrancar appear behind her. Yui pushes Shouta out of the way right before the pseudo-Arrancar tries to crush him, but Shouta still says that he doesn’t want to abandon her again. However, Yui then gets turned back into one of the pseudo-Arrancar’s minions and gets sucked up by its true form. When Rangiku tries to fight it, she manages to get in a few hits, but it then sends its minions after Shouta, distracting her long enough for the pseudo-Arrancar to go on the offensive. Fortunately Hitsugaya also enters the battle by freezing the minions and using his ice dragon on it. Faced against a captain now, the pseudo-Arrancar claims that destroying him will cause Yui to disappear too, and although Hitsugaya isn’t affected by the threat, Shouta is. Shouta’s attempt to stop Hitsugaya gives the pseudo-Arrancar the opportunity to escape into another dimension. While it is gone, the pseudo-Arrancar’s minions fill the skies and get sent out in every direction to consume more souls.

Upon contacting Soul Society for information about the location of their enemy, Hitsugaya learns from the Technological Development Bureau that the transmission source of the sound the pseudo-Arrancar uses to control souls can be determined based on the way its minions are distributed around the city. While they are trying to find it, Rangiku meanwhile explains to Shouta how the Shinigami are trying to save Hollows as well as souls. She feels that although they couldn’t protect Yui, they can still save her soul, and she wants to work together with Shouta to do it. The Technological Development Bureau eventually discovers that the pseudo-Arrancar is hiding in the area by the river behind a special barrier, so they need to destroy that barrier. Hitsugaya initiates ban kai to do this, but he doesn’t succeed until Shouta calls out to Yui and the flute sound suddenly starts up. Shouta can tell where the sound is coming from and helps Hitsugaya direct his attack there, revealing the pseudo-Arrancar. Despite transforming, the pseudo-Arrancar cannot beat Hitsugaya, though it is actually Shouta and Rangiku together who finish the pseudo-Arrancar off.

In the aftermath, Shouta digs up the flute from the ground where the pseudo-Arrancar disappeared and feels that Yui definitely made it to Soul Society. He’s ready to go after her, so Rangiku sends him off after one last hug.

Continuing his explanation, Shouta reveals that on the day of the accident, he and Yui were separated from their parents. They couldn’t find them no matter how much they looked, and on one particular night, Shouta woke up in the park to find that Yui was gone. Her scream eventually led him to her, but upon discovering his being threatened by the pseudo-Arrancar, Shouta ran away in fear instead of saving his sister. Regretting it later, Shouta returned to the park and encountered the pseudo-Arrancar again, and that’s when Rangiku had gotten involved. With Shouta now crying because of what he did, Rangiku comforts him by reminding him that Yui survived and by saying that it’s not too late for him to protect Yui now. However, Rangiku also knows that if Shouta’s story is true, then Yui encountered the pseudo-Arrancar. She then gets a phone call from Hitsugaya who had lost sight of the pseudo-Arrancar he was chasing. Hitsugaya is still with the soul that he had run into earlier, and this soul surprises him by suddenly transforming into the pseudo-Arrancar and attacking. Hitsugaya easily manages to cut off one of its legs, so the pseudo-Arrancar transforms back into the human disguise and runs away.

Back at their apartment, Rangiku tells Hitsugaya of how Yui was probably the first to have encountered the pseudo-Arrancar, but they don’t know how she survived, and Yui doesn’t remember anything. Hitsugaya, however, is more concerned about how the pseudo-Arrancar can disguise itself as a human soul. This makes Rangiku suspect Yui, so Hitsugaya goes ahead with an attempt to send her off to Soul Society. When he isn’t able to do so with the hilt of his sword, he confirms his suspicions that the pseudo-Arrancar must have done something to her. Hitsugaya then contact Soul Society so that they can do an analysis of Yui’s spiritual pressure, but until the analysis results come back, he places her behind a force field. Shouta objects to this, so Rangiku tries to explain that it’s to protect her from the pseudo-Arrancar. Since Yui is still afraid, Rangiku decides to give her the whistle item she bought at the shop earlier. With Yui now cooperating, Hitsugaya sends Yumichika to Urahara’s to tell Renji about what’s going on and leaves the children in the care of Rangiku again.

The next day, Shouta recalls how he and Yui had searched for their parents without any luck. When Yui wakes up from her sleep, she says she wants to go outside and wants to see their parents. To Shouta’s surprise, Yui claims that with his power, she can leave the force field, and she gets him hold his hand out to match hers on the other side. The force field disappears as a result, and Rangiku returns later from the convenience store to find them both gone. Before she and Hitsugaya can go look for the two, they get a transmission from Soul Society with the results, so Hitsugaya sends Rangiku ahead to look while he listens to the analysis. According to the findings, Yui is actually a clone created by the pseudo-Arrancar. She had been a human with strong, latent spiritual powers, and when the pseudo-Arrancar absorbed her soul, it gained tremendous power that allowed it to multiply. Akon thinks that there’s a high probability that she’s being controlled by the pseudo-Arrancar and her outward appearance is just acting. As for Shouta, Akon admits the possibility of him having an equally high spiritual power, making Hitsugaya realize that the enemy used Shouta to get out of the barrier and its target is Shouta’s power.

Unaware of what Hitsugaya just learned, Rangiku finds the two kids in the park, but Yui tells her not to interfere. Yui then starts emitting a great spiritual pressure that brings forth many of the pseudo-Arrancar. She motions her brother to her, and when Rangiku tries to stop him, Yui uses her power to pull him in. Rangiku can’t help because the pseudo-Arrancar are keeping her busy, and it is ultimately Shouta crying out Yui’s name that seems to knock her out of the trance. In pain, Yui now tells her brother not to come.

Bleach Episode 129 Summary

Rangiku allows Shouta to come with her to track down the flute noise, and the two arrive in time to see a businessman’s soul get eaten by the Arrancar. It seems to grow in power after eating the soul, and when Shouta starts throwing rocks at it, it fires a blast at him. Shouta fortunately is caught by Hitsugaya, and the captain helps Matsumoto attempt to capture their enemy. However, the Arrancar starts laughing evilly, and soon, more of it appear in front of them. In fact, there is a small army of them that all look the same, each with the power to divide into two. With Ikkaku and Yumichika also fighting more of these Arrancar across town, Hitsugaya orders all of them destroyed and tells Rangiku to head to an open area. Rangiku thus takes Shouta to the park and get surrounded, allowing Hitsugaya to then jump in to destroy all the Arrancar in one large ice attack. Afterwards, Shouta notices a girl sitting on a nearby park bench and recognizes her as his younger sister Yui.

Once they bring Yui back to their apartment, Shouta finally explains that she had been with him - blowing a flute - when his family was headed to the amusement park one day. They had gotten into an accident, and Shouta woke up with the chain attached to his chest and his parents gone. Yui had been the one he was searching for, and he’s very happy when she wakes up and recognizes him. Hitsugaya finds it strange that Yui would just appear suddenly in the park and questions Shouta, but before he can answer, their conversation gets interrupted by a transmission from Ukitake and Akon from the Technological Development Bureau. Akon explains that the spiritual pressure of all those Arrancar matched, meaning that each of those Arrancar are part of one and share the same consciousness. The multiple bodies allow the Arrancar to absorb more souls while its main body can remain hidden and issue orders. Before cutting off the transmission, Akon promises to look more into the flute sound that they’re hearing before the attacks.

While the others go out to keep watch over the town, Rangiku stays behind to keep an eye on Shouta and Yui. Later that night, she finds Shouta looking depressed despite being reunited with his sister and suspects that he’s still hiding something. Shouta thinks that it’s none of her business, and the two suddenly hear a noise from the other room. They find that Yui has disappeared, and all around town, the flute noise and Arrancar have appeared again. In chasing one of the Arrancar, Hitsugaya comes across a soul that seems too scared to talk to him, but that soul smiles evilly after the captain leaves. With Matsumoto following close behind, Shouta heads directly to the park to look for his sister. She is indeed there, sitting almost lifelessly on a swing set, and when Shouta questions her, she tells him that she just wanted to come to the park. Yui seems happy that Shouta came and says that she’s not scared since he’s here. However, this gets Shouta frustrated because he knows that he originally ran away and abandoned her here at the park.

Bleach Episode 128 Summary

Ichigo is still in training with Hiyori, but up to now he’s only increased the amount of time he can keep on the mask by half a second. At home, because Yuzu is almost in tears over how Ichigo hasn’t come home, Isshin suggests that it’s just Ichigo rebelling from his surroundings. Isshin recalls a similar experience in his own adolescence and feels that Ichigo is currently out somewhere satisfying his heart’s desires. Karin is also confident that Ichigo is fine, so Yuzu calms down. Hitsugaya, Rangiku, Ikkaku, and Yumichika are meanwhile at the park discussing how they have to get stronger for the upcoming battle when Rangiku realizes that it’s time for her to go shopping. She ends up trying on and buying lots of outfits, and then checks out an accessories store after the clothing store. There, she finds a necklace with a flute-type object attached to it, but when she blows on it, she starts to hear another sound - one that reverberates through the city. Her cell phone informs her of a Hollow in town, and since she’s closest to it out of all the Shinigami, she decides to go investigate.

The sound eventually stops when Rangiku arrives at the park, but the ground suddenly starts exploding in front of her. A boy gets tossed from the smoke, and Rangiku quickly realizes that he’s a soul. This boy seems to be fighting a large Hollow, so Rangiku attacks it to protect him. It manages to catch her zanpaktou swing in its mouth, and it is at this point that Rangiku realizes that she’s actually fighting something similar to an Arrancar except that its spiritual pressure is murky. The Arrancar doesn’t seem to care about her as much as it wants the boy, so Rangiku decides to take the boy to safety. Fortunately, Ikkaku then arrives and quickly destroys the enemy. Yumichika and Hitsugaya also show up because of how the Hollow’s spiritual pressure pattern had suddenly changed. They figure out that Rangiku was fighting an incomplete Arrancar - but still an Arrancar - and Hitsugaya thinks that Aizen must have intentionally sent it. As for the boy, he manages to piss off each of the Shinigami by addressing them as old or bald (in Ikkaku’s case), and he refuses to go to Soul Society because he claims to still have things to do.

Hitsugaya manages to ask the boy about hearing the sound and if the Arrancar said anything to him, but since they think that the boy can’t tell them anything and just happened to be in the right place, Hitsugaya decides to send the boy off to Soul Society. The boy still refuses to go, so Rangiku suggests that he might be confused about what happened earlier and allows him to stay with them for the night. However, in the middle of the night, the boy sneaks out with Matsumoto’s zanpaktou. He doesn’t get very far before he’s caught by her again, and she gets back what is hers. When she questions why he took it, he tells her that it has nothing to do with them, so she makes him realize that it does have to do with them and gets him to apologize. However, the boy still doesn’t saying anything when she asks him about his name, family, or why he was at that place. He finally admits that he’s looking for someone and that his name is Toyokawa Shouta, but right after he says this, the sound starts up again. Across the city, the Arrancar is back, and Rangiku can sense his spiritual pressure.

Bleach Episode 127 Summary

Rangiku arrives at Keigo’s home to find Ikkaku wearing a very uncharacteristic shirt that he’s putting up with because he’s getting free room and board. She’s here to tell them about the key, but first she has to handle Keigo coming after her. Over at Urahara’s, Yoruichi brings Inoue to the training area where Sado and Renji are fighting. Having been informed about the key by Rangiku already, Urahara thinks that there will be many casualties when the time comes, and so they’ll need more fighters than ever before. Inoue wants to get stronger too, but to her surprise, Urahara asks her to stay out of this. He cites one of the reasons to be Tsubaki, her offensive ability fairy that got completely destroyed by Yammy. Sado objects to this because Inoue fought with them when they were in Soul Society and because she has healing abilities, but Urahara thinks the Fourth Division would do a better job with that. When Urahara states that a soldiers who’s lost his power would just get in the way, Inoue excuses herself and runs out. She unexpectedly encounters Rukia on her way out and breaks down in tears. After listening to Inoue’s story, Rukia takes her side even though Inoue now seems resigned to the fact that she’s too weak. Rukia feels that it is unfair for Inoue to be excluded now, but Inoue sees the situation different.

Inoue knows that she’d be lonely if she were unable to fight with everyone, however she hates getting in people’s way even more, so she’s okay with being lonely. Rukia responds to this by saying that it’s not the people who don’t have strength that get in the way during a battle but rather those who lack determination. She feels that there must be something Inoue can do and proposes that they find out what together. Suddenly, their conversation is interrupted by Hiyori jumping between them and carrying Inoue off because Hachigen wanted to talk with her. Hiyori brings Inoue back to the Vizard training area where Hachigen introduces himself and examines her hairpin. He thinks its something similar to a zanpaktou and offers to heal it for her since they have similar types of abilities. True to his word, Hachigen makes Tsubaki appear again, and Inoue is overjoyed. However, Hachigen also suggests that Inoue not fight because their abilities aren’t fit for battle. Since Inoue still wants to fight despite everything, Hachigen advises her that what’s important is not how she should but rather how she wants to. With these words in mind, Inoue steps out of the warehouse and finds Rukia waiting for her. Rukia doesn’t require an explanation from Inoue because she can feel Ichigo’s spiritual pressure here and is content knowing that he’s safe. As she leaves with Rukia, Inoue thinks to herself that she’s going to move forward without looking back. When she meets Ichigo again, hopefully she’ll be able to fight without hiding behind him.

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo, Ulquiorra pays a visit to Yammy who is currently getting his arm reattached. Yammy isn’t happy with it, but Ulquiorra reminds him that at least they were able to bring it back and have it reattached unlike Grimmjow who got his completely destroyed. Grimmjow had been stripped of his Espada status as a result, but Yammy still retains his ranking as the number 10 Espada. To test out his arm, Yammy immediately smacks the Arrancar nurse who healed him into the nearby wall, and still he complains about it. Aizen meanwhile is watching video of Inoue from the previous battle with Ulquiorra and Yammy and finds her powers quite interesting.

Bleach Episode 126 Summary

Hitsugaya is surprised to see Hinamori, but he quickly realizes that she finally woke up. When Hinamori apologizes for doubting him and pointing her sword at him, Hitsugaya acts like he doesn’t care about small things like that and instead urges her to go back to bed since she looks so tired. After teasing her about her looks, he reminds her to call him Captain Hitsugaya as opposed to the “Hitsugaya-kun” that she normally uses. A moment of silences passes before Hinamori asks if Hitsugaya is going to fight and kill Aizen. She desperately wants him to save Aizen and thinks that Ichimaru or someone forced Aizen to do it. Before she can get too far with this however, Yamamoto steps in and knocks her out with one hand motion in front of her face. The commander suggests that they might have let her do this too early and then bids Hitsugaya farewell. Around this time, over at Urahara’s, Sado is going through some rigorous training against Renji in ban kai form. Renji had initially not wanted to do this, but Urahara had earlier convinced Renji to train Sado because Sado needed opponents who had achieved ban kai and Urahara’s own ban kai was not suited for it. Renji had eventually agreed to the training after Urahara offered to answer all his questions in three months. Now, as he watches the two men fight, Urahara thinks to himself that Sado’s power isn’t Shinigami or Quincy, but rather something else.

Inoue meanwhile has tracked down the building hidden behind a special barrier that Ichigo is in and notices that the barrier feels similar to her own power, so she’s able to pass through it. Inside the training area, Ichigo is fighting Hiyori with short bursts of putting on his Hollow mask. The point of this training is to extend the length of time Ichigo can keep the mask on, but the length that Ichigo can currently manage is only four seconds. The Vizards all had to go through this training with the exception of the female Vizard named Mashiro who was able to keep on her mask for 15 hours from the very beginning. Hachigen suddenly detects someone entering the barrier he set up that is impenetrable to Shinigami demon arts, and to their surprise, Inoue appears. After learning about Aizen’s plot and the special key, Ichigo tells Inoue not to worry and promises to stop Aizen because he can get stronger. Inoue notices how calm Ichigo is and attributes it to how he’s found his strength and became stronger. Realizing that she needs to get stronger too, Inoue leaves and runs into Yoruichi outside. Yoruichi had been looking for Inoue because Urahara wanted to talk with her. Back inside, Love questions how Inoue was able to get through Hachigen’s barrier, so the large Vizard reveals that Inoue seems to have the same power that he does, even though she’s only a human.

Training is also continuing at this time between Ishida and his father. Ishida is spending most of his time running away from his father’s blasts and attempting to counterattack with his silver tubes of stored spiritual energy. He recognizes that his father’s spiritual energy is getting weaker, so he decides to stop his father from moving with his last silver tube. The technique, however, does not work on Ryuuken, and father shoots son in the chest with a spirit arrow. After Ishida falls, Ryuuken reveals that the only way for a Quincy to regain his powers is for that person to be taken to the limit mentally and physically before being hit with an arrow exactly 19mm to the right of the sinoatrial node of the heart. With his son lying on the ground with a star shape now on his chest, Ryuuken is disgusted with how Ishida didn’t use the right technique earlier with the silver tubes. Still, he’ll let Ishida off the hook for tonight.

Bleach Episode 125 Summary

Ichigo wakes up in a mysterious world facing a Zaraki Kenpachi that is ready to kill him. In the real world, the almost completely Hollow form of Ichigo is now fighting against the Vizard named Love. Watching from outside the force field, Kensei tells Lisa that out of their group, Hiyori took the longest to do this with a time of 69 minutes and 2 seconds. In comparison, Ichigo has already taken 68 minutes and 44 seconds. Back inside the mysterious world, Ichigo tries to tell Zaraki that their fight is already over, but Zaraki asserts that a fight isn’t over until only one person is left standing and that you don’t need a reason to fight. Zaraki claims that Ichigo wants to fight and wants power - they were born that way. With Zaraki urging him to fight and memories of his past battles filling his mind, Ichigo finally regains his senses in the sideways world and pulls the sword out of his abdomen. He proceeds to stab through Hollow Ichigo with it, and it turns Hollow Ichigo black, just like him. Hollow Ichigo decides to let Ichigo be king for now, but he warns that if Ichigo lets down his guard even a little, he’ll crush Ichigo. He also says that if Ichigo wants to control his real power, then Ichigo needs to stay alive until his Hollow side appears again. While this had been going on, the Hollow Ichigo in the real world had been charging up a Cero blast to fire at Love, but it never came because the internal fight ended. Following a large explosion, the real Ichigo sheds the Hollow skin and falls to the ground soon after. He tells Shinji that it doesn’t feel bad, and then tells himself that he won’t let his Hollow side crush him.

Inoue is meanwhile coming back from school while trying to keep from being depressed about Ichigo not showing up. She thinks about going out for snacks with Tatsuki, but then remembers that Tatsuki hasn’t been energetic recently either. When she gets home, she finds that Hitsugaya and Rangiku have installed a special giant television screen in her apartment that allows them to communicate with Soul Society. Using it, Hitsugaya contacts Yamamoto and learns that the Aizen’s true objective has been confirmed. Ukitake had been investigating the Great Library of Spirits when he discovered a document unrelated to the Hougyoku that Aizen had accessed. This document had been about the ouken - the key of the royal family. Inoue doesn’t know what they’re talking about, so Rangiku and Yamamoto explain that there is a king of Soul Society who has a symbolic and absolute existence. This king lives in a different dimension inside of Soul Society, and the key opens up that dimension. From all of this, Yamamoto has concluded that Aizen intends to kill the king, but it’s more complicated than that. The location of the key is only orally passed down between generations of the commanders of the Gotei 13, so there are no written records. What Aizen had been looking at was the way to create the key, and this requires 100,000 souls along with a juureichi - a place in the real world that is a spiritual singularity. This places turns out to be none other than Karakura Town, and if Aizen completes a key in the way the documents say to, then everything around there would be wiped out forever.

Fortunately, the Gotei 13 are here to stop him, and they have four months before the Hougyoku awakens completely. Until then, Aizen can’t get his units in order and move out. Yamamoto estimates that the decisive battle will be fought this winter, so they need to train and prepare for it. He also specifically asks for the help of Inoue and everyone in the real world, so he wants her to go tell Ichigo. After Inoue runs out, Rangiku leaves too to go tell Ikkaku, but Yamamoto stops Hitsugaya from going with her because there’s someone who’s been waiting to speak with him: Hinamori. At this time, Renji is training Sado and Ryuuken is training his son as Inoue hurries her way towards Ichigo.

Bleach Episode 122 Summary

Even with everything Grimmjow did, Aizen says that he’s actually not angry because of Grimmjow’s loyalty. Nevertheless, Tousen still wants to punish Grimmjow because he doesn’t approve of people disturbing the order. He feels that justice without moral law is just slaughter, but slaughter in the name of moral law is justice, and as he says this, Tousen cuts off Grimmjow’s left arm and burns it with a spell. Grimmjow gets ready to fight, but Aizen stops him by saying that if he attacks Tousen, Aizen won’t forgive him. Afterwards, he leaves his throne room and runs into Ichimaru who comments that Aizen is playing with his subordinates again. Ichimaru also points that they lost 5 Arrancar, but Aizen isn’t concerned because they were only Gillians. With his Vasto lorde-based Espada, Aizen feels that there will be no enemies in their path. Back in the human world, Ishida is training with his father, but he has doubts about being able to regain his powers. Ryuuken, however, believes that Ishida wills as long as this training doesn’t kill him.

The next morning, Yuzu goes to wake up her brother, but finds him gone from his room. Rukia also doesn’t know where Ichigo is, though she does remember the conversation with him after she had gotten completely healed by Inoue the previous night. At the time, she had taken responsibility for getting hurt and didn’t want him burdening himself. Rukia had also suggested that he go talk with Urahara about his inner Hollow, but Ichigo decides not to. He is instead, at this moment, revisiting the crater that Yammy and Ulquiorra left from their initial arrival. At school, Inoue notices that he’s absent, as are Sado, Rukia, and Ishida. Atop the school’s roof, Hitsugaya is sending a report to Soul Society about what happened when Matsumoto approaches him from behind. She’s quite happy with their victory, but Hitsugaya is disturbed about how much trouble they had fighting just Gillian-based Arrancar. Over at Urahara’s, Jinta is excited that Ururu is better. Urahara himself is surprised when Sado shows up and begs to be trained.

Ichigo meanwhile heads off to a warehouse district where he finds Shinji and the entire Vizard gang. Shinji thinks that Ichigo is ready to join them, but Ichigo says that he’s just here to use them - he wants them to teach him how to control his inner Hollow. Since Shinji isn’t going to teach him that easily, Ichigo brings on his Shinigami form and attacks. The two seem to engage in an intense fight, but Shinji’s Vizard allies notice that neither is trying very hard. They realize that Ichigo is afraid of his inner Hollow, so he’s holding back in order not to awaken it. Tired of watching the fight, Hiyori takes over by knocking Shinji out. She explains to Ichigo that they wanted him in their group, but it’s not actually his decision. They are the ones who get to decide, and so they have to see his strength first. When Ichigo refuses to show his Hollow side, Hiyori reiterates that it’s not his choice. With that, she brings out her Hollow mask and promises to drag out his inner Hollow. She then puts her mask on and appears in front of him with her hand on his chest, telling him to really die.

Bleach Episode 123 Summary

Although he survives the hit from Hiyori, Ichigo still gets hurt and his Hollow side slowly starts to take over. Hiyori urges him to go ahead and initiate ban kai, and she knows that he’s afraid he’ll lose control. Claiming not to care if he uses his ban kai or not, she attacks him with her mask on again. As Ichigo is getting beat up, he wonders how Hiyori is able to put on the mask and retain control. He tells himself that that he won’t surrender his soul to his Hollow side, but the darkness soon covers his eyes and that side emerges. It immediately grabs Hiyori’s throat, breaking part of her mask, and starts choking her. Things aren’t looking so good for Hiyori until all of the other Vizards spring into action and pin Ichigo to the ground in order to save her. Shinji breaks off Ichigo’s mask and tells Ichigo, who has turned back to normal, that he can’t control his Hollow side with just his body and willpower alone. In any case, he decides that Ichigo passes and promises to teach Ichigo how to control the Hollow. Back at the Kurosaki house, Yuzu is crying because of her brother’s disappearance, so her father tries to cheer her up. When Rukia gets home, she reports that she wasn’t able to find Ichigo either, and later that night, she wonders where he went since she can’t sense his spiritual pressure.

Ichigo spends most of the next day on a special exercise walker while the Vizards lounge around going about their normal lives. He finally gets so pissed that they’re making him do this that he kicks the machine at Hiyori, though she grabs Shinji in time to take the hit. Ichigo and Hiyori start fighting about what she’s making him do until she throws the machine at him and tells him to paddling until he passes out. Shinji steps in to diffuse the situation by explaining that the Hiyori Walker is the foundation for the training. How many days Ichigo can continue paddling decides the level of training - for Shinji to teach him how to control the Hollow, Ichigo has to do it for at least 3 days. In anger, Ichigo reveals that he’s figured out that the machine drains his spiritual power so that the Vizards can see what his maximum is. He thinks that he can go five days on it, but there’s no point to it, and he’s running out of time. Shinji, however, feels that Ichigo shouldn’t be talking about time when he doesn’t even know the Hougyoku’s awakening period. Ichigo is shocked that Shinji has known for many years about the Hougyoku, the Arrancar, and Aizen, and the next surprise comes when Shinji decides to go ahead and let Ichigo proceed to the next step. As he knocks Ichigo out with a power from his hand, Shinji tells him not to regret this.

Shinji then instructs the Vizard Hacchi to put up a barrier around the building and opens up a passageway to an underground training area. Telepathically, Shinji tells the unconscious Ichigo that he’s going to become completely Hollow, so he should eat instead of be eaten. Once underground, Shinji has Hacchi put up another barrier and also seal off Ichigo’s body. Ichigo meanwhile finds himself once again in the sideways world facing his white Hollow self. When Ichigo asks where the old man Zangetsu is, the Hollow replies that he is Zangetsu as he pulls out a blade that mirrors Ichigo’s zanpaktou and attacks with it. With the inner fight started, Ichigo’s body - still in the training area with the Vizards - takes on its Hollow form and breaks through the seal that Hacchi placed. Because of this, the Vizard who introduces herself as Yadoumaru Risa squares off against the fully Hollow Ichigo. Back inside the sideways world, the Hollow Ichigo has to reiterate that he really is Zangetsu. He and Zangetsu have always been one and the same, and both are Ichigo’s strength. The Hollow Ichigo used to be a part of Zangetsu, but it’s a matter of dominance. As the Hollow side got stronger, it got control and Zangetsu thus became part of it. Thus, the more Ichigo tries to draw out the Zangetsu’s power, the easier it is for his Hollow side to control his soul.

Having heard this, Ichigo concludes that if he defeats his Hollow side here, then the old Zangetsu would return as the core of his power. His Hollow side thinks that it’s impossible for Ichigo to do this, so Ichigo goes into his ban kai stance. In response, the Hollow Ichigo takes on the same stance, and the two initiate ban kai at the same time.

Bleach Episode 124 Summary

Since Ichigo is surprised that his Hollow self can also initiate ban kai, Hollow Ichigo explains that he could do it when Ichigo could. The two then envelope each other in energy blasts, but when Ichigo opens his eyes again, he finds himself in Soul Society fighting against Byakuya. Ichigo doesn’t know what’s going on, but he has no choice except to defend himself against Byakuya’s ban kai. Byakuya comments on how Ichigo doesn’t notice the unrest in his own heart and then continues the petal onslaught. Having gotten knocked down, Ichigo tries to climb back up onto a ledge, but Byakuya appears above him and talks about Ichigo not attaining true ban kai. After letting go of the ledge because of Byakuya’s swords, Ichigo finds himself falling downward. Byakuya reaches the ground before him and says that a person who doesn’t have the will to fight can’t defend against his sword. The captain then prepares to finish Ichigo off, but Ichigo suddenly finds himself back in the sideways world fighting against his Hollow side. Although he’s still confused about what just happened, Ichigo fires off a Getsuga Tenshou. Hollow Ichigo easily deflects this attack and responds with one of his own at point blank range.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Lisa has her hands full fighting the Ichigo that is gradually turning more and more Hollow. Once 10 minutes have passed, the Vizard named Muguruma Kensei takes her place and continues the battle. Shinji and the Vizards are using a 7-man rotation of 10 minutes each, so each person can rest for 70 minutes between fights with Ichigo. During his turn, Kensei cuts Ichigo’s arm, but he soon realizes that Ichigo has hyper-speed regeneration. In response, he fires a huge energy blast, however it still doesn’t manage to do any significant damage to the regenerating Hollow Ichigo. As she watches the fight, Lisa thinks about how the struggle for Hollow control takes about an hour. Thus, it should be over by the time her turn comes again. Back inside the sideways world, Hollow Ichigo reminds Ichigo that it was his Hollow side that first used the Getsuga Tenshou in ban kai form - Ichigo is only imitating it and not doing a good job at that. Hollow Ichigo then grabs Ichigo’s sword, turns it white, and makes it disappear. Before Ichigo has a chance to fully take in what’s going on, he hears Kariya saying that he’s the worst.

Ichigo tries to tell himself that Kariya is an illusion, and although Kariya doesn’t deny it, he does say that illusions are something that the mind sees. He explains that this was all created from Ichigo’s mind, and so his existence signifies Ichigo’s worries of having defeated him. After the end of a fight, Ichigo always looks back at the enemies he defeated and the comrades he couldn’t protect. Kariya wonders if Ichigo is afraid of walking forward along the same path as him, but Ichigo denies it. The Bount then notices that Ichigo doesn’t have Zangetsu and asks if Ichigo thinks it’s possible to defeat him bare-handed. He throws Ichigo into the ground and questions if Ichigo understands the powerless feeling of losing Zangetsu. Thinking that Ichigo wants a weapon, Kariya attacks him with his wind power, and when Ichigo opens his eyes once again, he sees that he’s now in the multiple-sword world where he trained with Zangetsu. Unfortunately, the old man who represents Zangetsu isn’t around - only Kariya is. He urges Ichigo to choose a weapon, but Ichigo knows that Zangetsu isn’t around here. Instead, he remembers that Zangetsu is inside of himself, and that allows him to call forth the true blade. Ichigo, however, is still unable to hurt Kariya.

Explaining that fighting is something that goes on forever, Kariya says that strong people will continue to appear, and so if a person doesn’t have the resolve for an eternal battle, he or she will eventually be defeated. However, even that isn’t the end because the fighting would just be repeated by someone else. This is the endless cycle of rebirth: not just life and death, but the endless cycle of fighting. Kariya goes on to say that a person who possesses power will eventually be dragged into a fight - that’s how it was for the Bount. He then starts beating up Ichigo, and when Ichigo tries to strike back, Kariya catches the Zangetsu with his hand. The Bount leader, however, soon disappears and Ichigo finds himself once again back in the sideways world with the now-white Zangetsu disappearing from his hand. Because Ichigo calls it Zangetsu, his Hollow side asserts again that he’s Zangetsu before throwing Ichigo into a building.

Hollow Ichigo then asks if Ichigo knows the difference between a king and his horse. If there are two beings with the same appearance, ability, and power, one becomes the king and the other becomes the horse. The reason for this is simply instinct. The person who becomes king needs to want to fight, to want power, and to mercilessly crush his enemies. Ichigo’s Hollow side accuses him of using reason to fight and feels that Ichigo can’t hurt anyone if his sword is still in its sheath. Claiming that this is why Ichigo is weaker, the Hollow Ichigo throws his Zangetsu right into Ichigo’s abdomen. Hollow Ichigo follows this up by saying that he won’t let a king weaker than him ride on top of him, and since Ichigo is weaker, the Hollow is going to destroy him to become the king. As he seems to lose strength, Ichigo thinks about instinct, the desire for battle, and not handing over his sword. With this, he suddenly grabs the white Zangetsu that his Hollow side was pulling out of him and transforms it black again. Hollow Ichigo manages to get away in time, but his right hand has now turned human. The word instinct once again permeates through Ichigo’s mind.

Bleach Episode 119 Summary

Many years ago, Ikkaku had wandered around the Soul Society fighting thugs and feeling that he didn’t have a place where he belonged. Fighting and pain were the only truths for him. On one particular day, he had been looking for someone strong to fight when he had encountered a young girl who told him that he should go home because “Ken-chan” was in a good mood. Ikkaku had then been faced with Zaraki’s imposing figure, and neither man was willing to back down from the fight. Zaraki started the battle with a charge followed by a series of strong attacks that keep Ikkaku on the defensive. Both of them had found great fun in the fight, but Ikkaku was the one who was thoroughly beaten by the end. As he struggled on the ground and as Zaraki walked away, Ikkaku had questioned by Zaraki didn’t finish him off and demanded that he himself be killed. Hearing this, Zaraki had grabbed Ikkaku and made it clear that he shouldn’t be begging to be killed. Zaraki felt that Ikkaku shouldn’t want to die because he admitted defeat, but rather he should admit defeat only after he dies. He should live, think about killing the person who didn’t kill him, and then go after Zaraki again. As Zaraki started to walk off again, Ikkaku asked for his name, and Zaraki had said that he was Zaraki’s Kenpachi (Zaraki’s strongest person).

Ready to go to hell if Zaraki is there, Ikkaku joined the shinigami and was present when Zaraki explained to his new 11th division that he wanted strength out of his men - people who could fight. Now on the same side, the two were involved in one particular battle against a tough Hollow. Zaraki had cut it to pieces, but several more rose up where the first had fallen. Yachiru then suggested a competition to see who could cut the most Hollow tails, and all of them had happily participated. It was sometime later that Ikkaku was approached by Renji who asked to be taught how to fight. Renji got beat left and right in the training that followed, but he wanted to keep going. When Ikkaku asked Renji why he wanted to become strong, Renji had replied that there was someone he wanted to surpass. The two eventually got to the point where Ikkaku had taught Renji everything he knew and their training ended. Renji had known that Ikkaku had achieved ban kai and had wanted to see it. Because Renji had questioned why he didn’t use it, Ikkaku had claimed that it was his style. He then went on to reveal to Renji his full name and explained how it’s a courtesy to give your name to the person you are going to defeat. Yet despite achieving ban kai, Ikkaku turned down a captain promotion after Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tousen left. He explained that didn’t want other people to know he had ban kai so that no one else would ask him to be a captain. The reason was because if he became a captain, then he couldn’t fight under Zaraki anymore. Ikkaku’s only wish was to fight and die under Zaraki.

Back in the present, Ikkaku’s blade falls to the ground and he tumbles down soon after. The Arrancar Edorad, who had a huge chunk of his body taken out by Ikkaku’s attack, expresses how glad he is to have heard Ikkaku’s name, but then he falls from the sky and crashed into the ground. Still alive, Ikkaku struggles back up and finds Yumichika standing over him. Yumichika says that he had thought that Ikkaku would live, and Ikkaku replies that he was really lucky today.

Bleach Episode 120 Summary

Although Ikkaku’s fight has ended in victory, there are still several other battles going on across the city, and things don’t look so good for Hitsugaya, Renji, or Matsumoto. Hitsugaya and Renji in particular have both already initiated ban kai, but both still struggle with their Arrancar opponents. While these battles are going on, Ururu is having a hard time sleeping in Urahara’s shop and wakes up to see Renji fighting outside her window. Already watching the battle, Ririn and the other mod-souls decide to help and start by making Renji disappear from the Arrancar’s vision. Claude then disguises himself as Renji and starts attacking with Nova’s help. Unfortunately, the Arrancar powers up a bit and is able to disable all of them. Ururu meanwhile gets on top of Urahara’s rooftop where Jinta already is standing and then launches into the sky before he can stop her. She appears suddenly behind the Arrancar and kicks him in the face right as he turns around to face her. Ururu then starts choking him and utters some words about him being danger, danger being an enemy, and enemies being eliminated. After being repeatedly punched, the bloodied and extremely angry Arrancar gives himself some room by slashing at Ururu. He then releases his zanpaktou and transforms into a large bull-like creature, stabbing Ururu soon after the smoke clears. When he flings her now body away, Jinta comes to save her and tries to smack the Arrancar with his bat. It doesn’t hurt the Arrancar at all, and he rushes towards Jinta to skewer him too, but fortunately Renji comes to the rescue by allowing one of the skeletal links of his Hihiou Zabimaru to take the hit instead. Although this gives Jinta enough time to get away with Ururu, the Arrancar is able to break through the skeletal link and hit Renji. He then introduces himself as Arrancar No. 15, Ilfort Grantz.

Ilfort’s zanpaktou release is noticed by Shawlong, but the other Arrancar is busy fighting Hitsugaya. The captain attempts an attack that he follows up with his ice tail, but it only freezes Shawlong’s hand and zanpaktou, and Shawlong quickly breaks the ice off. He sees that Hitsugaya is steadily losing the ice flowers that are floating behind him and theorizes that Hitsugaya’s ban kai is still incomplete, so it will disappear when all the ice petals disappear. Hitsugaya only has three petals left, but Shawlong decides to respect him by destroying the captain with his full power. Shawlong’s released form grants him long claw fingers and a tail, and he immediately gets to work slicing Hitsugaya up. Having dealt some damage, Shawlong formally introduces himself as Arrancar No. 11. The two then charge each other again and Shawlong slices up Hitsugaya’s wings. The young captain is able to avoid any major damage and grows the wing back, but he then pauses to ask Shawlong a question. Hitsugaya wants to know if the No. 11 designation means that Shawlong is the 11th strongest Arrancar, but Shawlong reveals that the numbers are assigned according to order of birth. However, this does not apply to the Arrancar numbered 1 through 10 because those are ranked according to their slaughtering ability. These Espada as they are called have their numbers written on their bodies, and Shawlong reveals that there is actually an Espada here with them: the 6th Espada Grimmjow. At that moment, Grimmjow is engaged in a fight with Ichigo, but Grimmjow isn’t really trying very hard. He urges Ichigo to initiate ban kai, so Ichigo does.

It is around this time that Matsumoto finally gets a message from Soul Society telling her that she has permission to lift the limit. Because of this, she is able to stop her opponent from stepping on her and informs Hitsugaya and Renji of the good news. All three of them reveal black symbols on their chests that light up as they lift their power limitations and proceed to power up.

To be continued...

Bleach Episode 121 Summary

Since the Arrancar are confused as to what the Limit Release is, Hitsugaya, Renji, and Matsumoto explain that captains and vice-captains have seals on their bodies to restrict their spiritual pressures so that they minimize impact on souls in this world. Their power is thus normally reduced by 80%, meaning that they are now 5 times stronger without the limit. Faced with the massive power boost, Shawlong tries to get the others to retreat, but it’s too late and each of the Arrancar meets their end. Despite the victory though, Hitsugaya is gravely wounded and Renji is exhausted. Renji thinks to himself that he was lucky his opponent was caught off guard because of how strong the Arrancar was. In particular, he thinks this bodes poorly for Ichigo. While Matsumoto gets Inoue’s help to heal her captain, across town, Keigo brings Ikkaku and Yumichika back home to his sister. To Keigo’s surprise, his sister takes a liking to Ikkaku and lets them stay.

Meanwhile, Ichigo is already in his ban kai form, but he’s barely able to do anything to Grimmjow. Using only his fists, Grimmjow is able to beat Ichigo to a pulp and is quite disappointed with Ichigo’s ban kai. Ichigo responds by using the black version of his Getsuga Tenshou attack, and this actually causes a little damage to Grimmjow, but nothing significant. Frustrated, Ichigo knows that the black version of the attack is his Hollow side’s, and using it allows that side to come out faster. He estimates that he can probably use it two or three more times without completely losing control. Unbeknownst to Ichigo, Tatsuki is actually watching his fight from around the street corner. In addition, a certain someone is also arriving in this world via a dimensional rift from Hueco Mundo.

Grimmjow has become quite excited by the prospect of an actual fight. However, as he starts to draw his zanpaktou, Tousen suddenly appears behind him and stops him. Tousen isn’t happy at all with how Grimmjow attacked this world on his own accord with five other Arrancar, all of whom are dead now. He says that Grimmjow completely disobeyed his orders and claims that Aizen is furious. With Tousen around, Grimmjow has no choice but to return to Hueco Mundo where his punishment is waiting. Ichigo can’t believe that the Arrancar is just leaving and tries to get him back so that they can finish this. Grimmjow responds by saying that Ichigo is the one who’s getting his life spared. He can tell that Ichigo’s black Getsuga Tenshou damages Ichigo too and that Ichigo can only use it a few times. But he also feels that even if Ichigo could do it an infinite number of times, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat Grimmjow’s released form.

Grimmjow then tells Ichigo his full name and predicts that the next time Ichigo hears that name will be when he dies. After Grimmjow disappears, Renji arrives on the scene and grimly declares that they’ve won since the Arrancar have gone back to Hueco Mundo. Ichigo, however, feels that he had lost, especially since he couldn’t protect anyone. Both of them head to Rukia’s side where Inoue is healing the wounded girl. Inoue notices the look on Ichigo’s face as he stares at Rukia and sighs quietly to herself. Around the same time, Ururu is also getting healed at Urahara’s shop. Back in Hueco Mundo, a smiling Aizen welcomes Grimmjow home.

Main article: Zanpakutō

Zanpakutō are the primary weapons of the shinigami and the embodiment of a shinigami's power. They are sentient weapons, each with its own unique spirit, which can take the form of either an animal or a person. Normally, zanpakutō manifest themselves as regular swords (usually katanas). They can transform at the owner's will (provided the owner is skilled enough) into their initial released form or their true and final released form.

Each zanpakutō has its own realm, into which they can call their owners if they wish (although this also depends on the owner's skill). This is where the avatar (human or animal) form resides. If the owner is skilled enough, he can call this form forth to the regular world. It appears that an avatar is reflective of the owner's own nature; in chapter 229, Yumichika Ayasegawa and Rangiku Matsumoto complain about the personality flaws of their zanpakutō, which incidentally match their own.

Kūkaku Shiba
Below is a list of Soul Society dwellers, some of whom may be shinigami, even though this information is not confirmed.

• Kūkaku Shiba (志波空鶴 Shiba Kūkaku?) - Voiced by: Akiko Hiramatsu (Japanese), Jessica Straus (English)
Kūkaku (Born October 1) is an ill-tempered fireworks expert who is particularly known for her ridiculously themed houses. Like Orihime Inoue and Rangiku Matsumoto, she has rather large breasts. She wears a prosthetic right arm in the anime, which is at odds with her scenes in the manga, where she is illustrated with just a stump. She assists Ichigo and company by launching them via a special cannon so they can enter Sereitei. Kūkaku is part of the former noble clan Shiba. A hollow fused with her brother Kaien, which forced Rukia Kuchiki to kill him. She does not seem to be a shinigami, but she knows high level kidō, and she carries a short-bladed sword on her back.

• Ganju Shiba (志波岩鷲 Shiba Ganju?)
• Hisana Kuchiki (朽木緋真 Kuchiki Hisana?) [Deceased]
Hisana was Byakuya's wife who died of a disease fifty years before the main storyline. As she was a commoner, Byakuya was prohibited from marrying her, but did so out of love, thus disobeying the rules of the Kuchiki noble house. She was the older sister of Rukia Kuchiki in their past lives, and both were sent to Inuzuri (a poor district of Rukongai) where Hisana abandoned Rukia, unable to support both herself and Rukia. Hisana later greatly regretted this decision, even in her final moments, and as a result Byakuya adopted Rukia as his sister, in accordance with Hisana's dying wish, disobeying the rules a second time. She and Rukia are very similar in appearance.

OTHER CHARACTER

Don Kanonji

• Don Kanonji (ドン・観音寺 Don Kan'onji?) – Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)
Don Kanonji is a popular spirit medium who has a television show called Ghost BusT that, at the time of his introduction, is watched by 25% of Japan's population. He later formed the Karakura Superheroes, which consists of the Kurosaki sisters and the children at the Urahara Shop, to get the show's declining ratings up. The method in which Don Kanonji used to rid ghosts, thinking he was sending spirits to heaven, actually quickly caused those spirits to become hollows (he would take his cane and forcibly rip open the holes in spirits that hadn't fully changed into hollows yet). He found this out when he and Ichigo Kurosaki fought a hollow that appeared because of Don Kanonji during a television taping at Karakura Town. His special attack is "Golden Kanonball," a tiny ball of golden light that moves slowly and explodes with surprising power. He speaks in a mixture of Japanese and English. His trademark pose is to cross both arms over his chest and laugh boisterously and deeply. His most famous sentence is Smells Like Bad Spirit!, that is a tribute to Smells Like Teen Spirit, one of Nirvana's songs.

• Yūichi Shibata (柴田優一 Shibata Yūichi?) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Makoto Tsumura (Japanese), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English)
A supposedly cursed "parakeet" (actually a cockatiel) that found its way into Chad's protection, Yūichi is actually the ghost of a young boy tormented by a vicious hollow. He is guided into Soul Society by Ichigo and eventually meets up with Chad again.

• Oscar Joaquin de la Rosa - Voiced by: Tadashi Hirose (Japanese), Kim Strauss (English)
Often referred to as Abuelo, (Spanish for grandfather), he is Yasutora Sado's adopted grandfather, living in Mexico. He teaches Chad to be gentle and not use his physical strength to hurt and intimidate people. Chad honors his memory by protecting a Mexican coin given by De la Rosa with his life.

• Midoriko Tōno (遠野翠子 Tōno Midoriko?)
Midoriko is Yuzu and Karin's friend and schoolmate who has seen Ichigo while possessed by Kon's spirit. She is frequently threatened by Karin into forcing herself to believe she has seen nothing out of the ordinary whenever something strange happens, especially when it involves Ichigo. According to her diary entries found during the sketches of volume 14, Midoriko is also usually blamed for Karin's carelessness (such as forgetting to water the class' chrysanthemums) and also has a crush on Keigo Asano.

• Sora Inoue (井上昊 Inoue Sora?) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (Japanese), Liam O'Brien (English)
Sora is Orihime Inoue's older brother. He raised her for most of her life, and died in the Kurosaki Clinic from wounds suffered in a car accident three years before the series begins. He enters the story quickly as a hollow, Acidwire. In the anime, he is seen dragged to Hueco Mundo to be turned into a hollow at the behest of Grand Fisher. This is not shown or even suggested in the manga; one can assume that his feelings of being forgotten by Orihime were what prompted his transformation in this case. His name is Kakei in the official English-language manga translation, but he is still called Sora in the character popularity polls. Curiously, before being purified by Ichigo, Sora was able to remove his hollow mask and recover his original personality. While such an act has been described as the process which creates an arrancar, Sora remains in hollow form, albeit with a human head. Presumably, this is because of Sora resisting his hollow self, rather than the hollow itself removing the mask.

• Yama, Mit, and Toshi
Yama, Mit, and Toshi are three skateboarders who briefly appear in the first chapter and are beaten up by Ichigo for breaking a bottle with flowers that he put as a memorial for a ghost. In the English translation, they are referred to by one member as "Li'l Yama," "Li'l Mitch," and "Li'l Toshi" respectively.

• Shigeo and Harutoki – Shigeo: Voiced by: Brad MacDonald , Harutoki: Voiced by: Steve Staley
Shigeo and Harutoki are two friends of Chad. Shigeo lives on the money he makes from his part time job and is easily upset when he does not get to eat.

• Raku, a.k.a. Karakura Lion Jet
Raku (named "Cammy" in the English version, as raku means "camel") is the spirit of a cat that Yuzu Kurosaki once fed. In its attempt to follow Yuzu home, it was killed by a passing car. It returns sometime later as a spirit of itself with unusually high spiritual power, attracting hollows. When the hollows endanger Yuzu, it transforms into a lion to protect her. Don Kanonji, who organized the Karakura Superheroes in response to the hollows it was attracting, dubs it the "Karakura Lion Jet" upon first seeing it. He also claims it as the team's "hero mecha" (a common staple in Super Sentai-styled anime), despite it not being mechanical. Transformed, Raku exhibits impressive speed and can surround itself in flame. After the hollow is defeated, Raku, having fulfilled its purpose, passes on.

Modified souls
Modified souls are artificial souls created by Soul Society researchers some time ago. They have enhanced speed and strength when compared to normal humans, and often special abilities which set them apart from each other. However, the modified souls were considered an unethical experiment and most of them were destroyed. Urahara saved at least one of them, Kon (コン?). In the anime's Bount arc, three more are introduced.

The Bount arc modsouls

Noba, Kuroud, and Ririn with their creator Kisuke Urahara
In the anime's Bount arc, three more modified souls are introduced. Created by Urahara, they are designed to track and combat the Bount, as well as help train Ichigo and his companions, although at first they're seen as a threat while doing so. They originally live in gigai created by Kisuke Urahara, and have the ability to sense the spiritual presence of the Bount. However, early in the Bount arc, Kisuke asks the trio to primarily remain in plush doll bodies like Kon to remain inconspicuous.

As modsouls the three possess special abilities, but their abilities involve altering reality rather than physical enhancements. They change from plush animal to human gigais frequently when they need to fight, because their powers are in a very limited state when in their plushie bodies.
These modsouls only appear in the anime. The story following the return to the manga plot has been slightly altered to accommodate their presence without changing the overall course of
events.

• Ririn (りりん?) Voiced by: Yumi Kakazu
Ririn, while in her gigai form, is a small girl with short blonde hair wearing a pink fur coat, a purple bird-shaped cape, and red boots. When not in her gigai', she inhabits an anthropomorphic bird plushie. Her special ability is the creation of illusions. She acts as the leader of the trio, and has a fondness for games. She is partnered with Ichigo Kurosaki. At first she disliked Ichigo due to their conflicting personalities, but now she's rather infatuated with him, becoming extremely jealous of Rukia Kuchiki's close relationship with Ichigo. She can be petty and arrogant at times, but she shows real concern for her friends. She often looks down on Kon as inferior, which causes frequent arguments between the two.

• Kuroud (蔵人 Kurōdo?) Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita
Also known as Claude or Cloud, Kuroud is a bespectacled man with a mustache and two-tone hair color (black to the right, yellow to the left). He wears a gray top hat, multi-colored suit and tie, as well as dark brown boots, giving him an appearance similar to a circus manager. His plushie body is a rabbit-esque purse. He is partnered with Orihime Inoue. He has the ability to shapeshift, and can replicate the abilities of others when he does so (although he can't replicate the power levels of said abilities). He is somewhat cowardly and is terrified of snakes. His longwindedness and actions often provide comic relief. He is also somewhat perverted, like Kon, or at the very least is thankful for the opportunity to be held by attractive women (being a purse helps in this regard). Rukia seems to like him because he resembles Chappy the Rabbit in his stuffed animal form.

• Noba (之芭 Noba?) Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
More commonly known as Nova, Noba is a handsome young man in a fur coat with a shield on his back and a zippered mask, with a slim build, red hair, and aqua eyes. He inhabits an anthropomorphic turtle plushie in grey dress trousers and a white ruffled shirt with a red bow tie when out of his gigai. He's very quiet, rarely speaking more than a few words and also rather shy, zipping up his hood when he blushes. He is partnered with Yasutora Sado, who is equally quiet. He has the power to teleport himself and others to most any location he's been to. He can also use his spiritual sense to teleport to the location of those with spiritual powers. Additionally, he can create wormholes to redirect ranged attacks, both physical and energy based, back at the enemy. He can also absorb fire. When he is in his plushie, his teleportation range is limited to about two meters.

Bounts

Main article: Bounts in Bleach
The Bounts are a clan of humans with supernatural powers comparable to that of the Quincy. Bounts consume spirits in place of food, which allows them to live longer; theoretically, a Bount could live forever given steady access to spirits. Bounts traditionally don't consume the souls of living humans, as it is an ancient taboo and also causes aging, defeating the purpose of absorbing souls to remain young. According to Urahara, the Bounts are called vampires in certain parts of the world. Like shinigami, Bounts can seal their power in inanimate objects. Unlike shinigami, they do not create zanpakutō, but dolls with various special abilities. Additionally, unlike zanpakutō, the dolls have active personalities and can operate independently.

Shun Shun Rikka

Main article: Orihime's powers
The Shun Shun Rikka (盾舜六花, lit. Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield; Six Princess Shielding Flowers in the English anime) are six spirits which embody Orihime Inoue's power. They are capable of shielding her from attacks, healing allies, and attacking enemies. They made their first appearance when a hollow attacked Orihime and her classmates, and it was because of the desire to help her attacked friend Tatsuki Arisawa that the spirits appeared. The six spirits are manifestations of Orihime's soul, each with its own unique appearance and personality.

• Ayame (あやめ) - Iris (plant) - Voiced by: Ayumi Sena (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)
Ayame is a shy female spirit covered in a dress larger than her body. She is capable of healing together with Shun'ō.

• Baigon (梅巌) - Ume - Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)
Baigon is a bald male spirit with a mask that covers the bottom of his face. He is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Hinagiku and Lily.

• Hinagiku (火無菊) - Daisy Bellis perennis - Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese), Kirk Thornton (English)
Hinagiku is a male spirit with a large eyepatch that ends in a horn. He is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Lily.

• Lily (リリィ) - Lily Lilium - Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
Lily is a female spirit with bright pink hair, transparent goggles, and a blue bathing suit. She is capable of shielding Orihime from attacks along with Baigon and Hinagiku.

• Shun'ō (舜桜) – Althea Althaea officinalis - Voiced by: Junko Noda (Japanese), Philece Sampler (English)
Shun'ō is a friendly female spirit with a topknot. She and Tsubaki are usually the ones who talk to Orihime. She is capable of healing together with Ayame.

• Tsubaki (椿鬼) - Camellia - Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese), Wally Wingert (English)
Tsubaki is a fiery male spirit who is the only Shun Shun Rikka capable of direct attack. He often strikes anyone who gets on his nerves (including Orihime). Because he is primarily focused on attacking, he is vulnerable to counter-attacks and has been injured several times. The stronger Orihime's anger and killing intent, the more powerful he becomes. However, Orihime's timid nature limits his overall power and has contributed to his injuries in the past.

Vizard

Main article: Vizard

The vizard, from left to right: Kensei Muguruma, Lisa Yadōmaru, Hachigen Ushōda, Hiyori Sarugaki, Love, Mashiro, and Rose. Shinji Hirako is absent from the lineup.
The vizard are outcast shinigami who have gained hollow powers.

• Shinji Hirako (平子真子 Hirako Shinji?)
• Hiyori Sarugaki (猿柿ひよ里 Sarugaki Hiyori?) Voiced by: Reiko Takagi (Japanese)

Hiyori is a tiny, blonde-haired girl with a fierce temper and violent tendencies. Her hair is worn in pigtails and she wears a red jogging outfit (which is decorated with the first kanji of her name). She also has a tiny fang on the right side of her mouth. Hiyori often abuses Shinji, usually by slapping him with one of her sandals. Her hollow mask is rhino-like in appearance, sporting a prominent horn centered near the forehead. She took the longest to defeat her inner hollow out of all the current vizard (excluding Ichigo, who took about the same amount of time), at 69 minutes and 2 seconds.

• Hachigen Ushōda (有昭田鉢玄 Ushōda Hachigen?) Voiced by: Takashi Nagasako (Japanese)
The physically largest vizard, Hachigen wears a tuxedo and has a skull and crossbones design in his pink hair. He is usually referred to as Hachi (ハッチ, sometimes translated as 'Hutch'), but his actual name is Hachigen. He seems to be a binding spells expert, since he is always the one in charge of making barriers and such for the vizard's use. He seems to also have powers similar to Orihime Inoue's, and he was the one who healed Tsubaki's injuries when Orihime's own powers were insufficient to do so.

• Lisa Yadōmaru (矢胴丸リサ Yadōmaru Risa?) Voiced by: Kanako Hattori (Japanese)
Lisa is a girl with glasses and long, braided, dark hair. She dresses in a sailor fuku, as opposed to the more Western-style uniforms of Karakura High School students. She seems easily irritated and apparently likes to read erotic manga (specifically, Josei manga). She appears to be ambidextrous, initially wielding her zanpakutō with her left hand (like Ikkaku Madarame) and then switching to her right during her fight with Ichigo.

• Love (ラヴ/羅武 Ravu/Rabu?) Voiced by: Tetsu Inada (Japanese)
Love is a tall man sporting sunglasses, a spiked afro, and a jogging suit. He seems to be very laid back, usually reading Shōnen Jump or some of Lisa's erotic manga in his spare time. He and Rose seem to be close friends. His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a heart, and he carries its sheath on a touju hanging from his shoulder like a messenger bag.

• Rose (ローズ Rōzu?) Voiced by: Shouto Kashii (Japanese)
Rose is an effeminate man with long, wavy, blond hair and a frilly shirt. He seems to be interested in music, as he spoke to Love about an artist's new single and has been seen playing or tuning a guitar on several occasions. Rose seems to be delighted that a person with powers similar to a vizard exists. He also appears to be one of the calmer and perhaps wiser ones amongst the group due to his comments about Orihime in regards to Hachi, though he becomes irritated whenever Love spoils a manga's story for him. His zanpakutō's hilt is in the shape of a diamond with curved edges. His zanpakutō's sheath is encrusted with diamonds.

• Kensei Muguruma (六車拳西 Muguruma Kensei?) Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese)
Kensei appears to be a teenager with short, light-grey hair and several piercings. He wears a basketball jersey and cargo pants with combat boots. In comparison with his fellow vizard, Kensei is a much more serious character. His zanpakutō, when first seen in the manga, is shown to have a rectangular-shaped hilt in a sort of 'H' shape. His initial release shrinks it down to about the size of a survival/combat knife. While in this form, Kensei demonstrates the ability to charge and fire spiritual energy from the knife.

• Mashiro (白?) Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Japanese)
Mashiro is a somewhat ditzy girl who wears a white bodysuit and goggles in her green hair. Her overall style of dress is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the tokusatsu superheroes of late 1950s Japanese television, perhaps meant as a contrast between her age and childish appearance. She was able to maintain her hollow mask for fifteen hours on her first attempt to control her hollow, which means she did not need to train like the other vizard. She often calls Ichigo Berry-tan, meaning "strawberry", a play on Ichigo's name.

Urahara Shop

* Kisuke Urahara (浦原喜助, Urahara Kisuke)
* Yoruichi Shihouin (四楓院夜一, Shihōin Yoruichi)

* Ururu Tsumugiya (紬屋雨, Tsumugiya Ururu) – Voiced by: Noriko Shitaya (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)

Ururu Tsumugiya

Ururu is a meek, black-haired girl who mostly does manual labor for the shop, as well as assisting Urahara in training Ichigo. She is Karakura Pink in Don Kanoji's superhero team and uses a multi-barreled cannon as her weapon. She seems to respond robotically when injured or when hollows initially appear. Jinta also mentions that she reacts to strange spiritual presences, such as those of arrancar. During such times, Ururu seems to take on a rather simplistic view of right and wrong. She considers those that cause harm (relative to her) as enemies, and believes that enemies must be eliminated.

Ururu's meek attitude is somewhat at odds with her fighting ability, which is undefined, but quite high (Urahara vaguely mentions that her fighting ability is at an "anti-shinigami" level). Her leg-strength in particular is far greater than it should be, even when compared to Kon while he's in Ichigo's body. Her combat skills are shown when she gives the arrancar Ilfort Grantz a devastating kick to the head while he is fighting with Renji Abarai, overpowering him to the point that he is forced to release his zanpakutō. In the anime, she also delivers a powerful kick to Sawatari's giant whale doll, Baura.

* Jinta Hanakari (花刈ジン太, Hanakari Jinta) – Voiced by: Takako Honda (Japanese), Jeannie Elias (English)

Jinta Hanakari

Jinta is a small, red-haired boy who is supposed to do manual labor for the shop, such as cleaning, but usually slacks off and forces Ururu to do all the work. He desires to be a baseball star and is Karakura Red (fighting for the position with Karin Kurosaki) in the team of Karakura Superheroes led by Don Kanonji. He seems to have a crush on Yuzu Kurosaki, calling her "The Goddess." This is shown in the omake chapters after the anime episodes when he gives her discounts at the shop and treating a good-luck charm she gave him as an extremely important possession (it was really Kon's plushie body tied to a string, which caused a fight between the two over it during a soccer game). Jinta, like the other shop members, appears to be old and wise when he isn't fooling around. While he likes to constantly bully Ururu, he does care for her, shown when he recovered her body after she was wounded by the arrancar Ilfort Grantz. Also like Ururu, he displays powerful fighting abilities comparable to those of shinigami, though not to the same extreme degree that she does. His primary weapon is an oversized tessen.

* Tessai Tsukabishi (握菱テッサイ, Tsukabishi Tessai) - Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Michael Sorich (English)

Tessai Tsukabishi

Tessai is a large, muscular man who always wears an apron. It is unclear what work he does for the shop, but he is Urahara's personal assistant in both business-related and other matters. Tessai is skilled in kidō, shown by his use of a level 99 binding spell, possibly the most difficult of them. He is also shown to have great physical strength, made apparent by his ability to smash a hollow's head to pieces with a single, open-palmed thrust. He is also fiercely proud of the shop; this is shown when Orihime Inoue praises the shop basement, finding it really cool, and Tessai bursts into tears when thanking her. When Soifon refers to the shop as "pokey," his instant reaction is irritation and he has to be subdued by Urahara. He is also among the few who find Orihime's food tasty, the other being Rangiku Matsumoto. Tessai is over 200 years old, as he tells Rukia that the word "Quincy" "brings back memories" from that long ago.

The mentor of his son, Ryūken, and grandson, Uryū, Sōken (born March 22) was a kind old man whom Uryū admired. He was killed by hollows purposely sent by Mayuri Kurotsuchi for his research. His death is the primary reason Uryū hates the shinigami.

The Kurosaki family

* Isshin Kurosaki (黒崎一心, Kurosaki Isshin)
* Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎一護, Kurosaki Ichigo)

* Karin Kurosaki (黒崎夏梨, Kurosaki Karin) – Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English)

Karin Kurosaki

Karin is the cynical and sarcastic daughter of Isshin. Compared to her soft-spoken twin, Karin is the more authoritative of the two. She is an excellent soccer player with a kick powerful enough to fight weak hollows. Karin's tough exterior results from her mother's death; because she could not be useful around the house like Yuzu, she resolved never to cry so that she would not burden her family with her personal troubles. Karin is a sensible person and will not hesitate to kick her father in the head when she thinks he's acting unreasonable. She initially claims that she believes spirits do not exist, yet can see them just as well as Ichigo can. In spite of this, she is willing to use her abilities to earn a little cash, such as her position as Karakura Red of Don Kanonji's Karakura superheroes. Karin actually knows that Ichigo is a shinigami and wants to know why he's suffering out of concern. Karin is a homonym for Japanese quince, a name of a fruit, which matches Ichigo's name being a homonym for strawberry.

* Yuzu Kurosaki (黒崎遊子, Kurosaki Yuzu) – Voiced by: Tomoe Sakuragawa (Japanese), Janice Kawaye (English)

Yuzu Kurosaki

Yuzu is Karin's fraternal twin (both were born on May 6) and more soft-spoken in comparison to her authoritative sibling. She is also the more empathetic of the two girls. She takes care of the housework, such as cooking meals and tidying up the living space, on a daily basis. She also regularly cuts Ichigo's hair. She likes to play with Kon, calling him "Postafu", unaware of the fact that he's alive, which most often involves her dressing him in feminine clothes and gluing on unwanted accessories, much to his chagrin. Unlike her siblings, Yuzu is only able to see faint outlines of spirits. Both girls help out in the family's clinic. She is Karakura Yellow in Don Kanonji's Karakura Superheroes. She tends to get very upset whenever Ichigo disappears for anything longer than a day. Yuzu is also the name of a citrus fruit.

* Masaki Kurosaki (黒崎真咲, Kurosaki Masaki) [Deceased] – Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Ellyn Stern (English)

Masaki, born on June 9 and died on June 17, is the mother of Ichigo, Yuzu, and Karin. She died while Ichigo was still a child, and her death deeply affected her family. Isshin keeps a large poster of her on the wall and occasionally talks to it for comic relief. Though Ichigo initially did not know how she died, he later discovers that the hollow Grand Fisher was actually responsible for her death. Grand Fisher had intended to kill Ichigo, but killed her instead when she protected him. Both Isshin and Ichigo blame themselves for her death. Because of her death, her three children changed completely in personality: Ichigo changed from a terrified little boy into his scowling, short-tempered self; Yuzu turned from a crybaby to a reliable housekeeper; and Karin turned from a crybaby into her no nonsense person.

Karakura High School

* Uryū Ishida (石田雨竜, Ishida Uryū)
* Orihime Inoue (井上織姫, Inoue Orihime)
* Yasutora "Chad" Sado (茶渡泰虎, Sado Yasutora)
* Tatsuki Arisawa (有沢竜貴, Arisawa Tatsuki)
* Keigo Asano (浅野啓吾, Asano Keigo)

* Mizuiro Kojima (小島水色, Kojima Mizuiro) - Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese), Tom Fahn (English)

Mizuiro Kojima

Though he has a boyish face and gentle manner of speaking, Mizuiro has a marked fondness for older women. A typical character trait of male characters in anime, he is apparently very successful with these women and often excuses himself from Asano's activities because of a date with one or more women, the latter being more likely. In an extra chapter in the twelfth volume of Bleach, it is revealed that Mizuiro had very few friends until junior high. He is very distant towards his mother, who is seldom home. Recently, he's been revealed to have been fully endowed with spiritual awareness like Tatsuki and Keigo, and watched Ichigo, Chad, and Uryū go into Hueco Mundo.

* Chizuru Honshō (本匠千鶴, Honshō Chizuru) – Voiced by: Saki Nakajima (Japanese), Jessica Straus (English)

An open and rather proud lesbian, Chizuru's numerous advances on her school friend Orihime Inoue are usually thwarted by Tatsuki. She has red hair and wears glasses with red frames. She calls Orihime "hime," which means "Princess," though it could also be a simple shortening of Orihime's name. In Chizuru's opinion, Tatsuki is also very pretty, but too boyish for her to crush on since she prefers more feminine girls; she has also ogled Kunieda, Mahana, and Michiru on occasion. She placed 31st in her class on her exams.

* Ryō Kunieda (国枝鈴, Kunieda Ryō) – Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh

Ryō is a cold and bespectacled girl (though she tends to take her glasses off when she doesn't need them) who does extremely well in her studies (2nd best at school) and can often be seen with her nose in a book. As the school's track star, she can run 100 meters in 12 seconds flat.

* Michiru Ogawa (小川みちる, Ogawa Michiru) – Voiced by: Asami Sanada (Japanese), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English)

Michiru, often seen with Ryō Kunieda, is a member of Ichigo's class who forms a circle of friends with other girls, including Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chizuru. She seems to be more of a follower than a leader, and thinks Ichigo has a scary face.

* Mahana Natsui (夏井真花, Natsui Mahana) – Voiced by: Kayo Noumi (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

Mahana, often seen with Ryō Kunieda, is a member of Ichigo's class who forms a circle of friends with other girls, including Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chizuru. Though not shown very often, she's outgoing and talkative.

* Mizuho Asano (浅野瑞穂, Asano Mizuho)

Keigo's formidable older sister, Mizuho regularly sends Keigo on errands (like getting juice from a vending machine) with the usual punishment for lateness being a kick to the crotch. She happily welcomes Ikkaku and Yumichika into the Asano home after Keigo brings them back. While she initially claims that she is welcoming them "because that is the kind of sister" she wants to be, in reality she just has a thing for shaved/bald heads. She has a tendency to speak sexily and show off her figure to men she finds attractive, much to Keigo's chagrin.

* Reiichi Ōshima (大島麗一, Ōshima Reiichi)

Reiichi is a boy with dyed orange hair who challenges Ichigo for stealing his style, evidently on a regular basis. He appears once and is swiftly beaten up in one hit by an already-injured Chad, despite proclaiming to be tough.

* Ichirō Nanbuken (南部研一郎, Nanbuken Ichirō)

Ichirō is 4th student in school in terms of academic achievements.

* Misato Ochi (越智美諭, Ochi Misato) - Voiced by: Dorothy Elias-Fahn

Misato is Ichigo's class teacher. She is very easy going, accepts any excuse (no matter how flimsy and unbelievable, usually involving falling down stairs), and doesn't seem to mind in the slightest when Ichigo and his spiritually-endowed friends suddenly take off from class. She also doesn't seem terribly concerned that her students aren't really learning anything. When Ichigo returned from being absent for several weeks, she punished him very lightly (hitting him on the head with a book a couple times).

* Tetsuo Momohara

Tetuso is a classmate of Ichigo's who tried to get him to join the Karate club. He gets angry because Ichigo doesn't remember who he is. He sits in Rukia's seat in class after Renji and Byakuya take her back to Soul Society.

bleach 120

I lol’d…then fapped

Rating: 8.5/10

Ah, what a cock tease this episode was. They basically blew the entire episode on nothing by making it look like everyone was sucking hugemongus balls. It wasn’t entirely necessary to make them fight with their limiter seals and lose, then release them. It might have been okay if they didn’t take an entire episode to finally release it, but whatever. Either way, the ass of despair just totally gave us a lap dance, and will probably be walking away, swaying its perfectly round, spectacular bottom. I’d have to say that the highlight of the entire episode was Ururu going psycho robot on the bull dude. Too bad it didn’t last very long.

That was…easy

Too bad this guy didn’t turn into a chicken because then I could have captioned the first picture as “chocking the chicken” but you know, Bleach writers made me suck a dick on that one. Chocking the bull doesn’t sound as cool, which is why I didn’t use it. In other news, this guy is definitely into S&M. I mean c’mon, the signs are there: young girl in pjs, being choked, penetrating the girl with a horn from bull costume, plus his mouth is even open to do god knows what to that poor innocent girl. Well, at least it seems obvious to me…

I almost feel cheated by this episode but I wont bash it too hard because at least we progressed a little bit. The worry and despair was done well, and at one point both I and Darkshaunz were thinking it: “Arrancar are a little strong, no?” It really fucking seems that way doesn’t it? I mean, with the explanation of what the #’s mean and whatnot, you kind of feel overwhelmed with how powerful these guys are. Oh yeah, I don’t really dig the Spanish music either, but maybe that’s the source of their power.

3x Spirit Bomb?

So uh, remember 115 episodes ago when we were told that shinigami’s powers were limited in the real world. Yeah, props on actually making use of that information 3 years later instead of using plot no jutsu. Although, in a way it still kind of feels like they did. Authorization to remove the limit was so important that it could cost them their lives? No, I don’t think so bud. It was a cheap tactic to create tension.

To me, it seem like the plot can go one of two directions:

They suddenly become so strong they rape these fag bad guys
They still almost lose but at least they won in the end

I have a feeling it will be #1, which wouldn’t really be all that fun to watch. Statistics show that close battles always draw the most excitement, regardless of who wins in the end. If some of the good guys end up losing somehow then thats fine too as long as the battles don’t suck. I have a feeling Ichigo is gonna get his ass kicked or his Hollow self is going to take over and pwn some bitches. Better not cock tease us any more because these past 5 weeks have been like Rukia blueballs for Darkshaunz. Ease his goddamn pain already. Hell, I’ll throw down some money and lets get it over with.

bleach 119

I wonder if Kenpachi looks back at old photos and sighs at his mullet

Rating: 8.5/10

Ah, the bleach episode that got lost somewhere on my computer and then due to living circumstances had to be downloaded via laptop. Sorry for the lateness but I should be pretty much settled now and no longer have to bounce around between different living places until midway through May. Anyways, this episode was pretty informative and quite the awesome filler episode if I may say so myself. Sad Darkshaunz for not being able to see Rukia avenged or if she’ll be alright. I assume she’s going to end up a paraplegic or something because she got fucked up hard yo.

Umm, Sakura’s forehead has got nothing on Yachiru

Ikkaku ~~gives good~~ has a weird head

The worst aspect of this episode was definitely the artwork. You can tell that the artists were sticking with the “ugly forehead” motif during episode 119 and did a pretty good job of it if I may add. Other than that though, I found most of the scenes to be satisfactory, even if they weren’t super stellar “best animation evar” type material.

I must say though, this episode spawned in me a desire to go back and re-watch some Kenpachi fights. I’m not really sure why, but I went to bed after watching this and suddenly sprung from my covers and dug up my old dvds to watch the fights. Probably not the best thing to be doing the night before my final, but we all have our priorities. Apparently Kenpachi > Graduating College.

We didn’t really care about you anyways

Wow, I was kind of scared after the huge Ikkaku tribute-esque episodes that he was going to die. I’m glad he lived because we finally got a look into his past and have realized just how fucking cool he is. Comic relief characters that can actually make a difference in the plot are all sorts of win (pretty much the opposite of the bounto finder shits). I didn’t really like this arrancar anyways, so I hope he rots in hell.

One thing I’m concerned about is the amount of bankai’s that are flying around lately. We now know that Ikkaku can bankai which came from way out from left field. I just hope that the “super rare” form of bankai doesn’t become overused, and that not many more people show up with the ability to use it. I have a feeling at least the stronger arrancars can use bankai. Who knows though…

Rating: 9.8/10

This episode gave me tingles AND I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time. The artwork went well beyond my expectations, and their use of music really set the mood. I basically wanted to have sex with Ikkaku after watching this episode, you know, the kind where you pass out from ecstasy and overexertion. Yeah, that kind.

Easy on the eyeshadow there buddy, pyon

Darkshaunz don’t watch, its too painful

I think Grimmjow just killed of our favorite heroinette, oh shit…NAH. Ichigo apparently is too shocked to even go crazy and avenge her, but instead throws himself at Grimmjow with some half-assed-looking attempt. Ah, geez. This won’t be turning out well in the end, or so I feel. If Rukia survives this, she’ll probably be MIA the rest of the Arrancar arc “healing” or something. Right now, I’m waiting for Ichigo to explode with power and go fucking crazy so everyone stops what they’re doing and looks in their direction like “oh shit wtf is that.”

Two Kool

Four Skool

Seriously, can you be any cooler? What the fuck man. I was like <3. The scene where Yumichika was commenting on how happy Ikkaku while fighting gave me goosebumps. It all felt so epic and exciting and I instantly fell in love with Ikkaku’s style. We haven’t seen much of him up until this point other than maybe some butt ends of random jokes about his head. Finally, we get to see what he’s made of, and surely it spells out G-A-R. Not only that, but I loved how drew some of the scenes, like the two above. It makes him look even more hardcore. The more we see of the 11th division, the more I’m convinced they’re a fucking scary bunch.

I’m anxiously awaiting next episode to help wrap up all the loose ends they left with this episode. Is Rukia now MIA this arc? Will Ikkaku defeat the enemy? Will I get to rub my face on Ikkaku’s blood and scar covered, deliciously sexy body? What was the “freeze thing” that Yumichika called in for? Will Ichigo explode with all the love and passion he feels for Rukia? Hopefully all of these will be answered next episode. *squeals and runs away*

Long time no see huh? Well, I’m sorta back now, not like you care. You fags, but I still love you.

Darkshau-PYON PYON PYON

Score: 9.1/10 (2 Rukias in one episode, Yes please)

Wait a minute. Isn’t Rets supposed to be doing this? Folks, Retsgip has been a bit busy fighting for his life in the jungles of Cambodia lately (or Uni exams, same thing), so this means I get to do what I always wanted to do, cover a shounen episode aside from Naruto. Just because I’m covering this episode of Bleach does not mean I have any real idea on what’s going on, of course. I’m the blog’s combat vixen and GAR women guy, and I am not really attuned to the Bleach side of things. I do use Chlorox to clean out some of my Kitchen pipes…does that count? I do know one thing, I really like Rukia and trust me, Danny knows all about my hopeless crush.

Hey Rukia, try using the damned door next time.

Does Bleach always start off with these recaps? I love getting a good old reminder, because I have a memory which contests that of Dory from Finding Nemo (as in, its not even qualified to be called a memory ability). I do have an inkling that the constant revisions of the past episode may irk some people, exciting moments from the reminder sequence includes seeing Ichigo looking kind of sad, Rukia standing on the window ledge as opposed to using the door like normal people and Rukia making Ichigo go BAN ZAI (oh ho, did you see that) instead of being Ichigo. So in this actual episode, Karakura town is under attack by Men in white coats. Instead of wanting to take you to the local mental institution, they want to eat your souls and kill torches, because Shakugan no Shana taught us that Torches totally need to be killed and stuff.

Rating: 9/10

I’m SO glad that Bleach makes up for all the pain and suffering I receive while watching Naruto filler episodes. The bleach story is doing a damn good job keeping me interested in the storyline, which in turn keeps me entertained. I’m not sure why, but I’m starting to like the Bleach artwork better than Naruto as well. Shippuuden better hurry up or I’ll start having a n emo fit.

No truer words have yet been said.

You’ve got to hand it to Isshin for always being so cheery and loving to his kids. It’s not easy raising a family as a single parent, which is also especially hard since he’s male. We don’t know much of his past to this point, but since he runs a medical clinic, I’m assuming he was the captain of the 4th Division (the healers? i think?). Maybe his background has helped him raise a wonderful family, but you can never say for sure. All I know is that he’s a fucking awesome character, and most likely an awesome father. I hope we see more of him later on, which Ichigo finally figures out his secret (if he EVER does). Should be interesting to see some father-son team battle scenes.

Bleach 112

It seemed like they skimped a little bit on the art here and there, but I couldn’t tell if it was for comedic effect or not. In the end it doesn’t really matter because the story has completely opened up, and I can’t help but love it. The story now has so many different possibilities (yeah yeah, manga readers know all) in which it can turn, and I have no idea what to expect. I do know, however, that this is a cyclical storyline so we’re probably going to get some sort of rescue mission somewhere.

She looks like a fuckin’ hollow @_@

Not really sure why, but this scene cracked me up. It was pretty straight forward Bleach humor but DAMN Chizuru is one crazy bitch. I know some lesbians are manly, but this is like a whole new level, she’s a hollow. Yeah, that’s right. A hollowly lesbian. I would have also enjoyed it if she glomped Orihime one last time before the end of the episode, but alas, I did not get to witness ginormous boobs being fondled.

Bleach 111

I kind of wish that they included a little more plot to this episode, and a little less “omg lets run from the Grand Fisher.” I did however, enjoy the little spurts of “real” storyline that we got at the beginning and the end. Any time we have an appearance of the three bounto hunters modified souls, we have a filler portion of the series, and I have a sneaking suspicion that they’ll be worked into the plot a lot more from here on out. They may not be strong or all that useful, but they do create a short amount of comic relief.

I felt that the artwork was a little off, and the episode didn’t flow as well as the last one, ALTHOUGH it did manage to keep some suspense the entirety of the show. I didn’t once lose interest, even though Kon and the gang ended up running around half the time. But still, knowing that there was a possibilty for candid fatherly love, I was 100% focused on what was happening, and was anxiously awaiting the next scene.

Basically nothing happened except at the beginning, and the end (like I mentioned above). Below, I have two screen caps that pretty much sum up the episode via subtitles and what’s happening in the picture:

Ishida’s dad basically told him that he was lying to him for hella days and that even though being a quincy wasn’t profitable it didn’t mean he wasn’t still a quincy. Yeah, fuck you dad for not believing in Ishida and turning him into the pansy he is now. I mean, c’mon he sews for fun. Only my grandma does that. (lol the subbers used “henceforth” below)
Ichigo’s dad makes a “surprise appearance” and shows us a glimpse of his power. We have no idea how or where he got his power, nor do we know his background. Personally, I got a bit of the tingles when he showed up because I’ve been waiting for this to happen forever. I was spoiled nearly 2 months ago but wasn’t told how we found out or anything. I’m glad that he got revenge for his wife, that apparently Ichigo failed to accomplish.

Bleach 110

This episode excited me to no end. The first couple minutes were composed of everyday slice of life, but once Shinji showed up, things started to move rather fast. I noticed quite a large decrease in animation quality for certain scenes, but as a whole it wasn’t that bad. I can already tell that the writing quality is much higher, and the flow of the episode was 100x better than all the fillers combined

Looks like the cat dragged in some nasty garbage aka Grand Fisher reborn

At first, I thought I was watching a Hollow birth itself from a random egg in some well in whosville, but it turned out to be an old friend! Only this time, he seems to have acquired some epic loot, and has probably hit the max level. If you don’t remember who Grand Fisher is, he was the one who killed Ichigo’s mother and then later tried to kill Ichigo (unsuccessfully of course). Well, he’s back and chasing Kon, whom he thinks is Ichigo. This could get pretty dirty, but Kon should be able to ditch pretty fast with his uber mirco.

I knew this guy was kinky, but weapons and a mask too?

Can Shinji get any weirder? Like seriously? I dig his confidence, and I don’t mind his voice despite everyone else mentioning how much it fails. He reminds me a little bit of One Piece bad guys, except he’s not dancing around in a tuu-tuu doing swan kicks, soo…basically he’s a Bleach bad guy. Wow, unlimited deduction works right there. What the hell? Apparently this guy likes doing things backwards, and looks like a Gin clone with that mouth and smile. Honestly, I’m surprised he revealed himself so quickly, but I guess he can since he’s got friends, and he’s also uber powerful.

Some important things to note, which I kind of forgot through the fillers and whatnot:

Vaizards = strong
Soulreaper + hollow powers = strong
Ichigo is basically a Vaizard
This is a shounen series and stronger bad guys will always appear

Bleach - 107,108 & 109

Bleach 109

*hums The Boys are Back in Town* So the fillers are finally over with this episode, and there’s a noticeable improvement in the quality of the show. Maybe I was distracted by the shitty plot of the fillers, but I really appreciated the artwork and the acting abilities of the VAs. Or…maybe I’ve just been watching too much Cartoon Network and I should go /wrists now.

Kon kicks ass

Speaking of VAs, Kon’s VA kicks major ass, as does Kon. His excitement and worrisome nature feel believable, even when coming from a stuffed animal. I really never appreciated Kon’s character until this short scene. When he’s not getting beat on or saying stupid shit, his personality can be rather amusing. I’ve always preferred higher quality comedy than slapstick, so maybe that’s why I’m suddenly realizing this.

Got Carrots?

So we’re introduced to a new character. If you feel like being spoiled, just head over to Danny’s entry and he’ll probably give you enough information to last you until next week. As for me, I figure he’s probably got some special powers otherwise he wouldn’t be jumping on telephone poles, and the wouldn’t have shown him to us. Yeah, check out my excellent powers of deduction. *dusts self off*

Bleach 108

Well we finally have the semi-conclusion of the fillers, and as expected, it was a pretty shitty ending. I’m not going to even begin to pick out all the problems with this episode, but Danny will in a rather Retsgip-esque fashion.

I’m rather disappointed in the fact that only one character got some sort of development. Rukia, who was barely in the fillers, had a rather large revelation this episode. She realized that Ichigo was in pain because of his constant limbo between both the real world and the Soul Society. It seems that he can’t find his niche in either worlds, which would make him seem extremely lonely. Rukia gets the character development award of the bleach fillers.

Bleach 107

So this episode was alright, but I was extremely put off by the huge flashback/recap of the bounto past (for the 100th time). Even I noticed the filler-esque ups and downs of the artwork. What the hell? I felt like NHK took over the animation for this episode. Ichigo’s animation was all over the place, and it seemed like his limbs weren’t really attached to the rest of his body with the way he moved. I don’t know, this is a filler episode, but they can at least try to do a good job.

Ichigo doesn’t know the word overkill

Don’t get me wrong, I thought the action in this episode was exciting in a way. Ichigo basically went nuts for the first few minutes of the episode, which was interesting in of itself. The artwork kinda of helped portray this, but still I thought it was a little off. Ichigo looked extremely skinny at times, with weird parts being accented like his wrists or his knuckles. I dunno, but enough about the artwork. The action was someone interesting, and it basically saved the episode. I desired a little more crazy moves from Ichigo, but I can see they’re going to add more distractions in the next few episodes, so they didn’t want to lay all their cards down this episode.

Bleach - 104,105 & 106

2007-06-15T06:38:00.000-07:00

Bleach 106

This was one of the better episodes I a long while, and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because we finally got decent action, or maybe because we finally got a real look at Kariya’s past. Uh, maybe it’s BOTH?!?? Whatever they did, they made this episode way more enjoyable than the others.

Someone’s in loooooooove

Let me just say that shota-Karyia is such a little babe magnet. “If I was female…” (I’ve been saying this a lot lately, oh crap) I’d be pinching his cheeks and hugging him so tight he’d be turning blue. Seriously though, what the hell happened to him?! I mean, I’ve heard it said that “power changes a man” but this is ridiculous. I’m wondering if the Bounto power source is actually controlling him, and once Ichigo breaks that, he’ll revert back to his innocent self. Too bad he’ll probably be disintegrating while this happens. Sorry Kariya, you’re still going to hell.

Bleach 105

Not as bad as I had expected from this episode. When episode 104 ended, I wasn’t sure how they were going to keep up the suspense without some action. Already the plot has started to get a little shaky and I was worried, but they managed to keep my interest so I was proud. As I always say, a little bit of back story through flashbacks never hurt if they were used correctly, and I think they did an okay job this episode. BUT next episode looks like more flashbacks of Kariya’s past, and that’s just not cool. Overusing flashbacks can be dangerous business.

I wanna first say that Ishida is a little baby. I don’t see him having a purpose and goals which he’s actively pursuing. What I see is a stubborn child who thinks he’s helping by trying to throw his life away. I don’t know if that’s what the writers were trying to portray or not, but that’s what it looks like to me. Although, I believe he might have saved Ran Tao at the end of this episode because he was so stubborn. So maybe it’s not such a bad thing, but I still see it as a poor way to write his character.

Bleach 104

I was strangely unimpressed by the route that this episode took. I was expecting a lot more from the story than this, but I guess I was basing my speculations on the quality of the non-filler arc. I guess I effectively owned myself.

Besides the plot taking a turn towards the predictable, the action of this episode bored me to death as well. It was cool seeing a new bankai, but the fight was soooo fucking boring. God damn. I ended up turning on the television to watch an old Bond movie on Spike to find my source of entertainment. Once again, we see the faults of introducing a type of badguy that uses “dolls” to fight their battles for them. It makes the battles boring as fuck! Kariya’s battles are cool because his doll is like an extension of himself, rather than an uber strong pokemon.

2007-06-10T05:35:00.000-07:00

Yet another Sailor Ishida episode of Bleach! Once again, I’m gonna say it: Ishida is such a little pansy that I can’t even stand watching him anymore. His fight wasn’t exciting at all. Why? Because he stood still for 15 minutes of the episode and shot arrows at Yoshii. At one point I remember begging her to just kill him already so we could move on with the story, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen.

I feel very underwhelmed by the fights in the filler arc. They just don’t have the same feeling or passion like they used to back in the “rescue Rukia” arc. I guess a possible reason for this could be that Ichigo and crew don’t really have a huge motivation to save the Soul Society. Sure it could fuck up the balance of the world and Hollows might take over, but that’s OBVIOUSLY insignificant in comparison to a friend being executed for no reason. Also, choosing to put yourself in the situation (rescue arc) versus being thrown into the situation (filler arc) might also be a reason. Whatever the cause, it’s really taking a dump on my expectations for the series.

Bleach 102

I’ll give this episode a decent score because they’re finally picking up the quality as well as the entertainment. I already expected this to happen as we got closer and closer to the final fight, but in all honesty I’m disappointed in where this is going. On the other hand, I’m curious as to how they’re going to resolve everything in an acceptable manner.

As things stand, Kariya has removed himself from the fight, and that’s just retarded. If they can figure out some way to nullify the crest or whatever the hell he put inside of his body, then he can finally fight. I’m curious as to who is going to be involved in the final match up. I have a hard time believing that it will be a 1 v 1 battle between Ichigo and Kariya, but instead maybe a 2v2 or 2 v 1 (since Kariya got uber stronger). Should be interesting.

Bleach 101

Although I wasn’t pleased with this particular fight/episode, I’m still relatively satisfied with how this Bleach filler arc is progressing. We get to see most of the captains in action (even if the fights are lame) and the overall suspense of the situation is still high. Each episode has a goal and a purpose, which keeps my attention WAY better than the damn Naruto fillers which seem to be all over the place. This episode’s feature: Captain Mayuri vs. Bounto Sawatari(and Baura).

Bleach-97, 98 & 100

2007-06-10T05:10:00.000-07:00

Soi Fon powers up into emo-mode to defeat Mabashi the clown

Wow, episode 100. It seems like I picked this up only yesterday, back in the days when I was desperate for something more than Naruto or Yakitate Japan. I remember watching the first episode and enjoying the semi-dark nature (nothing compared to D.Gray-man or Death Note), which I soon learned wasn’t very dark at all. But still, to have kept me watching for 100 episodes without fail is pretty impressive. *applause*

As for the future, I doesn’t really concern me since I don’t read the manga, which means I don’t really have a problem with the fillers in terms of where the plot is headed. What I do have a problem with the quality of the plot and the quality of the episodes in general. Hopefully they ended as soon as possible in order to get on with the main plot. I can only deal with these up-down types situations for so long (e.g., bad episode->good episode->bad->good, etc.).

Bleach 98

Clash! Zaraki Kenpachi vs. Ichinose Maki

Not only am I a HUGE fan of Zaraki Kenpachi, but I’m also a fan of semi-touching stories. Episode 98 delivered both in a relatively painless and rather enjoyable fashion. Finally, we get a good episode.

Well, I wouldn’t say it was worth the wait because we had to wait for what felt like ages. But I will say that the fight lived up to my expectations, and I’m happy they got to show Zaraki Kenpachi and his awesomeness. I’m a Kenpachi fanboy so my view of this episode could be skewed! But that’s your problem!

First of all, there is a new OP and ED. I didn’t really like the songs of either of them, though I did like the artwork. All the characters were dressed differently in the OP, like in black and white, and it was a lot darker than usual. I half expected them to be playing instruments for some reason, like some scene out of Beck or Nana. Oh well, I won’t be watching the OP/ED after this episode so I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Bleach 97

This episode was snoringly boring. Though, what I did enjoy was the high quality of the art which lasted throughout the entirety of the episode. Basically there was just more story/plot development and it wasn’t done very efficiently or in any sort of speedy manner. I’m guessing they wanted to give Kenpachi’s fight its own episode.

I don’t know why I didn’t enjoy this episode that much, but it just didn’t seem to go anywhere. Sure the Bounto are finally starting to move, but they’re just moving; they haven’t started fighting yet. Even so, I was amazed with the quality of this episode and latched onto that aspect as I re-watched for anything important I might have missed.

Bleach - 95 & 96

2007-06-08T02:17:00.000-07:00

Bleach-96

This was a pretty boring week, and sadly, Bleach was no exception. There was a small amount of action but I knew nobody was gonna die or be defeated, so I kind of lost interest, thus losing interest in the episode.

By the way, doesn’t Kariya have some pretty crazy eyebrows? I just now noticed that they curve up at the ends. I remember the announcer in Gladiator liked to curl his eyebrows, so maybe it’s some sort of symbolism of wealth in the old days??? Perhaps, there is no relevance at all, and I’m talking out of my ass…hmm.

Bleach-95

This was exactly the type of episode I’ve been waiting for since the beginning of the damn fillers. My only problem with this episode was the way the fighting was drawn, but other than that I was happy.

There isn’t much to say about this episode other than Byakuya is a hot mama, and Kariya is damn strong. I’m a pretty big Byakuya fan so I had a ball with this episode, but I cut down my screenshot amount since they would have just taken up space.

This was a pretty nice shot right here. I love how Byakuya slowly slides behind Kariya after his shunpo, it’s very artistic. In fact, I found this whole episode to be full of beautiful shots which I don’t really do justice at all.

Bleach - 93 & 94

2007-06-08T02:00:00.000-07:00

Bleach-94

Bleach is finally winding down on this arc. The next few episodes will be fighting, or at least I’m hoping for as much. Even though not much really happened this episode, it was a nice doorway for what’s to come next episode: Byakuya vs. Kariya. Oh yeah, and a shoutout to Kon, for introducing us to such a nice young lady with his booby-dance.

This episode seemed more like a weak attempt at humor at the beginning of what seems might be a crazy war…Bad timing? I think so. We haven’t really even gotten serious yet, why would they need to lighten the mood? Well, in any case, pieces are starting to fall into place and the fighting is starting.

Bleach-93

Well, at least the episodes are finally getting started. I’m not a huge fan of Rukia but this episode goes out to all those Rukia lovers. God knows she needed some quality screen time. Not a bad episode in general, but I want more pwnage!

I’ve always wondered why Rukia was so special this whole time, because she’s basically been helpless since the first episode. I guess I see a little bit of why in this episode, especially since she seems to do so well against a bounto without a Zanpakuto. She seems to have incredible control over her spirit energy, which is cool, but not my favorite style of fighting. Honestly, I’d rather see Ichigo zip around at light speed or something than see all this magic spirit stuffs. To each his own. I still really enjoyed Rukia’s fight and thought there were some pretty exciting scenes. One thing that drove me nuts though, was how Ririn was bouncing around making all those squeeking noises in a the middle of an awesome fight. It really ruined the whole atmosphere.

Not as exciting as I hoped it to be, but hopefully they’ve got all the plot developed so they can get to all the juicy action that is BOUND to happen. Please don’t let me down.Once again, the spirit world is being invaded and the captains etc. have to rise up and fight the intruders. Oh the joy! Oh the originality!

Short summary of this episode in as little words as possible:

Ichigo gets beat up
Ichigo gets his bankai powers back
Ishida shows up and ruins everything
Everyone’s happy and decides to chase the bounto through the portal, together

Bleach almost gets back on track with cool fights and aw–wait…wait no. It still sucks. I give it way too much credit than it deserves, partially because it’s become a classic in my book, and I love the classics.

Lets face it, this arc will never compare to the first 1-60 episodes. At least this episode was reasonably entertaining, partially because there’s more than 2 minutes of fighting, shrug.

Zanpakutou Guide:

2007-06-03T01:46:00.000-07:00

Zanpakutou: A Shinigami gains their Zanpakutou when they graduate from the academy (central institute of spiritual art). Each Shinigami has their own unique zanpakutou, and it reflects the owner's personality and power. The Zanpakutou has two levels of release - Shi-kai (Initial Release) and Ban-kai (Ban release) which will increase the user's attack power. But in order to do so, they must learn the Zanpakutou's name and gain its cooperation.

Zangestu

(Cutting Moon)

Kurosaki Ichigo
First Shi-Kai: Chapter 067, vol. 008
First Ban-Kai: Chapter 162, vol. 019

Normal: Larger than most zanpakutou, but it has little power due to the fact that Ichigo can't control his spiritual pressure. This form of Ichigo's zanpakutou was broken by Kuchiki Byakuya.

Shi-Kai: Zangetsu (Cutting Moon)
Giant zanpakutou as tall as Ichigo, because of Ichigo's tremendous spiritual pressure Zangetsu can never go into it's sealed state.
- - Zangeki: Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang Striking The Sky) Zangetsu takes Ichigo's spiritual pressure and releases the super high density pressure from the blade and the Zangeki becomes bigger then explodes.

Ban-Kai: Ten Sa Zan Getsu (Heavenly Chain Cutting The Moon)
Zangetsu turns pure black and is much smaller and sleeker than its shi-kai state, it looks very much like a normal zanpakutou. Though it looks normal all the abilities from Ichigo's Ban-Kai are compressed into the small blade and it's highest ability is super-human speed. Ichigo's appearance also changes from normal shinigami garmants to a sleek black outfit with a black tattered cape, much like Zangetsu's outfit. Hollow Ichigo can use a shooting attack called Black Getsuga 'Black Moon Fang'

Zanpakutou's true form: Middle aged looking man in a tattered black outfit.

Benihime	(Crimson Princess)
	Urahara Kisuke First Shi-Kai: Chapter 065, vol. 008 First Ban-Kai: Never Normal: Kept inside of his cane. Because it resides in a cane it's hilt is still the handle of the cane so looks differnt than most zanpakutou's. Urahara's cane also has the ability to seperate souls from their bodies. Shi-Kai: Benihime (Crimson Princess) - release command: "Okiro!" ("Wake Up!") and "Nake" ("Sing!") Changes dramatically as it is no longer in anyway a cane. Benihime can produce a shield and an explosive attack. Ban-Kai: Unknown

They scatter and shread the enemy. Ban-Kai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (One Thousand Cherry Blossoms Brutal Shadows) Byakuya releases his zanpakutou and one thousand swords apear all around him. They rise from the ground then those thousand swords scatter and countless flying blades peirce through the enemy. No one knows the exact number of blades generated. No one can see the movements of those blades or dodge them, except Kurosaki Ichigo. Byakuya's Ban-kai's final stage is called Hakutieken (White Imperial Blade)

Sode no Shirayuki	(Sleeve of the White Snow)

Segiments of Hihiou are connected with Renji's spiritual pressure thus making him stronger. Though bulky Hihiou is a great endurance zanpakutou even if it losses one or two segments it can still fight. Hihiou Zabimaru's attack is much like his Shi-Kai where Zabimaru can extend and lash out. Renji can also shield himself with this form of zanpakutou. Renji's appearance also changes he gets a neclace of teeth/claws around his neck as well as a fur jacket type garmant that goes down only one arm and has a skull on the shoulder.

Ghost-types Guide:

2007-05-30T15:40:00.000-07:00

Souls There are two type of Souls - Plus and Hollow. Plus is the most common one that roams around places and does no harm, but those with strong regrets in the current world will bind themselves to their focus of regret by the Chain of Fate. If the focus is a person, they become 'obsessed spirits', and if the focus is a place, they become 'earthbound spirits'. Hollow, on the other hand attacks other beings (mainly those with high-spiritual density) and eat their souls.

• Earth-bound spirit

Those who are naturally assimilated with the land. They will only show itself when someone trespasses their territory.

• Grand Fisher

A name given to an infamous hollow who hides his body from being seen while his neck protrudes a lure that takes on a human shape, and devours souls with high spiritual density to increase his own strength.

• Hollow

All hollows are formerly human's souls or Plusses. There are many reasons why the Plusses become Hollows - they're not brought to the Soul Society by a Shinigami, escaped from Soul Society, not protected by other Hollows, or when they wanted to fill their empty heart and seek out their loved ones in their past life. Those who has become hollows eat souls to ease their pain and suffering, and cannot revert back to a normal soul.

• Menos Grande (Arankal)

- Gillian - Gigantic hollow that is born from hundreds of hollows that pile and mix

- Ajuukaru - Much smarter and stronger than a gillian, like a vice-captain compaired to a seated officer. Not many of them exist or so it is thought!.

- Vastoorode - Looks like a shinigami and is much stronger than your average captain. Not many are known to exist the few that do exist are only seen in Hueco Mundo. It is said that 10 of them would bring destruction to the Soul Society.

• Plus

Plusses are the soul that has been seperated from the original body and would not harm any other creatures. However, they have the potential to become a Hollow because of several reasons, whether they are willing or not.

• 'Target' Leech

Not a hollow, but it's actually part of the main hollow called Shrieker. It does have a little willpower, and does not feel any pain at all.
