I download DB subs or Bleach Society Subs but then deleted it when Lunar Comes out with their verson. I also get rid of lunar versions whenever akeep comes out with the next episode, also the same for TW subs (but those two are wayyyyy behind).

Anyhow .. I'd like to start the discussion with a mini pic show...

Just for you're own saftey, the following nine pictures are from the 55th Episode of Bleach anime, If you haven't watched it yet and get upset because I spoiled the episode for you ... cry me a river bizatches =D

Naw I'm kidding, just careful before going on ahead because I want you guys to watch the episode first .. anyhow here I go.

Last warning before I start ...

Here goes: FIrst for Terra

Heh. You sure download it many times... I can quote you up to Lunar. That's where I stop and archive. So, I download each episode twice...

Edit: Quite a nice episode. Lots of action. Didn't conclude anything but started a great many things. And like Kensee said, the old geezer actually looks like he can stand fighting more than a couple of minutes. Hmm... It would be about the time for Yachiru to appear in the next episode. She took off so fast that it couldn't possibly take much longer to reach the place.

Great episode, but there was to little Byakuya ass-kicking (that is Byakuyas ass being kicked, not the other way around). The scene with Yoruichi was cool, she just flew in and kicked some vice-captain booty. I didn't know that Genryuusai was a Sayian, he all of a sudden busts out a fire SSJ. Wonder who will come and save Juushiro and Shunsui, mayby it will be Yachiru, she said she was going to take care of the strog guys or something. And also, were the hell are Gin and Hitsugaya? Their fight will be awesome.

The HF fan sub wasn't that great... lots of grammer and spelling and punctuation mistakes... when the old guy said the Ryuujinjaka part, they just had the words, and no meanings so ... I was a tad confused to say the least.

Did you notice the insanely fast, purple haired, masked bandit that hit Soi Fong like a freight train and dropped her on her head?
I think that's who he was talking about.

Anyway this ep was awesome, even though it was mostly setup it was really cool setup, Unohana's Manta-Ray of Life looked awesome, and I think they did a really good job with Yama-jii, that guy's crazy ripped.

I wonder if their going to show snippets of all the different fights or focus on one at a time...either way it will be there should be ownage delexe for lots of people in the near future. Go Bleach Go!

You both brought up points that I am interested in also. I felt this episode was very good, but damn...there are so many fights going on. After episode 53, I was wondering what was going to happen in the Kenpachi fight; then after an awesome episode 54, I was like, "Fuck yeah, Ichigo vs. Byakuya". Now toss in the fight between Soifong and Yoruichi and of course one with Genryuusai and ...what next? I feel like every episode introduces another important battle and yet I am still trying to keep all the current fights in my head. I wonder how a single episode, once a week can keep up with all the action. Similarly, there could be more as already stated by previous posts (Gin and Hitsugaya, Yachiru, etc.,). I hope that somehow, someway, Kubo can keep on serving up action and some resolution to the 'older' battles (i.e. Kenpachi and Komamura ).

I guess I'll have to wait in anticipation along with everyone else& lol, I guess I am with ChibiYali <twitches>

masamuneehs

Wed, 10-26-2005, 12:54 PM

I am just in awe of Genryuusai. His reiatsu is beautifully done and his Shikai Release was nuts. With just a flick of his wrist he sent a wave of flames out!

I am actually a little put-off by the sheer number of battles all going on at the same time. Kenpachi vs. Buckethead, Ikkaku and Hisage's respective fights, Soifong vs. Yoroichi (that'll be an easy one, I'm guessing) Byakuya vs Ichigo, and now Genryuusai vs. Ukitake/Shuunsui. Don't forget, there's also going to have to be a Hitsugaya/Ichimaru rematch sometime soon... Or at least, I see it coming.

On Yukimura and FrogKing's point:
With all these fights coming up I hope they don't just fragment the battles so much that we can't really get into the flow of some of them. They are all awesome matchups and I just hope the show doesn't cheapen them by doing the "Cut to the next fight, each fighter's thoughts, stare down for two minutes, one minute of dialogue, 1.5 minutes of actual fight, cut to the next fight. Repeat" routine. That really puts me off. Ciffhangars and transitions have been placed damn well in Bleach and so I do have faith in the creators, I'm just a little worried because it'd be such an easy thing to fall into...

Jadugar

Wed, 10-26-2005, 01:20 PM

Come on guys. I love all these fights and whats going on. It all adds to the tension and drama. The whole SS is a big battlefield right now. It all going to work out just fine.

BELIEVE IT!!!!

Aaaargh good episode, did anyone else think that Soi Fong should have just been t0tally smashed into the floor, because she's a total bitch? She was about to just kill that girl, and i was hoping yorouichi would just BAM, take her out. I dunno. With all the action, i think this episode went really really fast. Now im really looking forward to next week.

Terracosmo

Wed, 10-26-2005, 02:49 PM

Yes, Soi Fong is a bitch. She should die.

The preview was funny as always. i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif "Regrettableeeeeeeeeee"

indeed so many fights are going on, hard to know when we can finishing them all.The 1st cap really live up to his title. He looks so scary with his fire power.
Hate Soi Fong, she was so wicked, pressed on that girl like that. Hope Yourichi kicks her ass

DarthEnderX

Wed, 10-26-2005, 03:40 PM

I'm hoping they are just showing the beginnings of all these fights just to show you that they are all happening at the same time. Hopefully, they show the fights without too many interruptions after they are all introduced.

And also, is that giant manta supposed to be her Bankai? I suppose that makes sense for the healing captain. A giant fish with healing digestive system.

Man that's gross through. I think I'd rather just bleed out.

Jadugar

Wed, 10-26-2005, 03:51 PM

Thats her Shikai. I think.

Wed, 10-26-2005, 03:52 PM

Haven't seen the episode yet, but I can at least guess what has happened, based on what you guys have said.

They're introducing all these fights at once since they want to show that these are all happening at the same time (as pointed out by Darthender). I would also like to think of it as a small metaphor that keeping track of all these fights is somewhat chaotic, which is what Soul Society is becoming.
For Soi Fong, yeah, pressing down on that VC girl was quite harsh. Still, I find that to be a lil cool since not many women (well, in my anime experience) are like that, so it was interesting to see her like that. Go Yourichi!!
Genryuusai, well, THAT is the reason why he's the leader of the 13 squads, hahaha. I loved his shikai release in the manga, and from what I can hear from you guys, the anime version is just as good i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Can't wait to watch this episode i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Aramis

Wed, 10-26-2005, 03:57 PM

so lemme see, there's...
kitty with mecha bankai vs. kenpachi
kenpachi's pretty boy officers vs some other equivelants (have a feeling these fights won't be showed)
yoruichi vs soifong
yama-jii vs captains ukitake and shunsui
ichigo vs byakuya
renji...is not fighting...at the moment...thank goodness.
yachiru...i think she's looking for something to kill.
4th division captain seems content with just cleaning up the corpses.

so, only 4-5 fights going on, i think it'll work out somehow. =P but there's also more than just fights. why does byakuya want rukia dead so badly? what is gin doing and what happened to that plan of his? is hitsugauya still chasing him? how/why did aizen get offed? what's the story behind yoruichi or tousen? how will ishida get his powers back? there's just so many things i can think of that would be worth at least an episode...it's been like that for a while. and that's the number one factor in what's keeping this anime interesting for me.

yeah giant manta thing=shikai

very well paced ep, even if it seemed like there was alot of stuff happening, it doesnt matter b/c these fights are featuring the coolest people in SS right now. The fire/heat/reiatsu was a really nice effect to see animated but imo made it somewhat difficult to see Yama-jis full coolness. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Ive always thought this was equally if not more badass then its animated counter-part:

It's actually twisted. I've gotten the impression Zanpaktous are (logically enough) true killing machines, only interested in fighting and bathing in the blood of the enemy. Even if Unohana is a captain of healers, her Zanpaktou should still be a true weapon, excellent only in killing, not healing.

Yeah, I'm sometimes disappointed how the translations for the anime is not the same in the manga. I was particularly disappointed when Zaraki was fighting Tousen. Zaraki was thinking about what his comrades would say, then when that pretty boy said his line, anime Zaraki just said "Die" while one of the manga translators said "Go to hell".
I liked that "Go to hell" part better, but I don't think the kanji was like that since anime Zaraki would have said it.

Wed, 10-26-2005, 06:43 PM

Too many fights going on at once, duno which I wanna see first. I'm guessing the ninja battle will have a flash back since they seem to know each other. I kinda wanted to see what Naneo had in store but I guess it just wasn't to be.

PS. I call crap at Ichigo knowing how to flash step now.

Everything Ichigo does is pretty bullshit-ish, but that's how it is with shounen series' main characters.
I mean he has mastered stuff that the rest of SS had to spend 100s of years to attain, in what, an afternoon?

He is special and gifted. All of the Shounen main characters are. Some people are natural born survivors.

That really depends on which group you're watching. It very well could be that Lunar uses a different translation for Genryuusai's Shikai command. It's just differences between the groups' decisions for translation (and for the record, Zaraki did say "die" in Japanese).

Also, I thought Soi Fong was pretty bitchin' in this episode. She takes 0 shit. Which is awesome.

Wed, 10-26-2005, 09:56 PM

Well, that's not what I was expecting. Some interesting backstory though... so the old guy founded the school that became soul society. I wonder what they did about hollows before then? Did someone appoint him or was he just a random dead guy that learned how to use spiritual powers? I hope they explain some of this later on. It is kind of cool that the two captains took a huge risk for Rukia and are now (fairly calmly) taking the consequences of what they have done.

And they really are juggling a lot of fights here... And the next ep is going to be (based on the preview)back on earth???? >_<

I find that TW has the best/most acurate translation, and Akeep is 2nd, but they go wayy too slow.

And all you guys need to stop worrying and just watch!

All i see is "TOo many fights, boohoo" guys .. the MAGNA DID THE EXACT SAME THINGS. You guys are in for surpises, and a lot of fun. Not to mention, Ichigo is strong for a damn reason. What that reason is? You wont know until later. But until then just rmemeber how hard he had to fight in each battle. He has yet to have an easy one. DO you think he will start now? Byayaka is a really damn good / strong captain, Ichigo has his worked cut out for him.

Don't count out any person! Even the smallest of characters can have a big role or even a funny scene. So watch, enjoy, and don't worry about being confused or not getting a good show cause too many fights, they are actually done quick and well =).

DB is decent for what it is...

Bleach-Society and Hell-Fansubs fail even for speedsubs...

I've never liked Lunar (as a group)... but as for the groups that are pretty much up-to-date, Lunar is the best choice...

I hate Anime-Keep... so I won't comment on them, since they are far behind..

Naisho is the best choice for archive...

As for episode 55, it was awesome...

That old-man is great, he kicks so much ass it's laughable... A fire based zanpaktoh, what more do you want?

With so many fights at the same time at SS, I don't think they will take the time to show Don Kanonji and the others on Earth, I mean that will kill the suspense...

And all you guys need to stop worrying and just watch!

All i see is "TOo many fights, boohoo" guys .. the MAGNA DID THE EXACT SAME THINGS. You guys are in for surpises, and a lot of fun. Not to mention, Ichigo is strong for a damn reason. What that reason is? You wont know until later. But until then just rmemeber how hard he had to fight in each battle. He has yet to have an easy one. DO you think he will start now? Byayaka is a really damn good / strong captain, Ichigo has his worked cut out for him.

Don't count out any person! Even the smallest of characters can have a big role or even a funny scene. So watch, enjoy, and don't worry about being confused or not getting a good show cause too many fights, they are actually done quick and well =).

Stop dangling the fact that you know whats coming over the anime watchers' heads. You do it in EVERY post, it's so fucking annoying (even though I am a manga reader.)

Mage, you are a piece of slowly decomposing worthless waste. Try posting something meaningful once and awhile.

Back to topic. The only reason they would insert random Don Kanoji-esque filler episdoes is if the show caught up to where the manga is. I hope that it isn't for some time... But, like some other people said, it just might be that the weird Don-Kanoji ending is just a replacement to the "Introducing: Shinigami" thing they had going for awhile. Makes me nervous though, seeing the Karakura Krappers billed instead of previews for the next episodes...

He reminds me of Hunter X Hunter's Killua for some reason. Personally, I quite like the Hitsugaya character, although it might be he's a bit plain and simple-minded compared to almost all the other captains who seem to have their own more or less hidden plots and ambitions going on. Well, at least he's not buckethead...

And I wouldn't really expect him to beat the old geezer by himself. But certainly the elemental facts would support him somewhat, like has been said many times.

Though probably not as exciting as the momentous fights we have going on or about to start, I still also wonder what is the place of interest Unohana wanted to visit just before the camera switched to the two captains getting their asses kicked by the old man. I haven't quite figured out or decided what role Unohana wants to play in general. It strongly seems like she is content to heal who ever gets wounded, and not to interfere otherwise at all. Like she was going to watch Rukia get executed, yet earlier she had saved Renji.

I think this is going to come into play in a pretty cool way as well. She is the one Soul Society Captain that I really can't get a read on. She seems so sweet and nice, but not enough to step in on Rukia's side... She doesn't seem like a stickler for the rules, healing Ryoka and all that... but she was going to watch the execution.

I have a feeling she'll reemerge when someone is in deep shit and pull out some crazy Healing spell that'll give a full recover to whoever we thought was just about to die. She'll also probably bring Hanatarou with her. This is all just speculation though.

Anyhow I have a question about Ichigo, is he really flash stepping? Or is he just moving fast enough to match the speed of Flash Step?

Does the captain in pink robe (sorry i'm horrible with names) also flash step as well? I was under the impression they were just moving really fast where flash step is almost like an instant movement. Just need some clarafication =D.

My opinion is probably useless.
Although i will state it nonetheless.
Given the nature of this , a 'forum'.
Even though others may disagree, though I don't respect them much anyhow.

Involuntarily, it seems that rukia snapped out of her whole, "i don't deserve to live" garbage.
So i'm glad for that.

Does that mean she will actually fight again?
Or will she never regain her previous power?
Given the weird collar
Still around her neck?
How long will her powers be repressed for?
Incidentally, who else picked up on this subliminal message?
Though i honestly hope rukia turns into a strong woman again, there are too few in anime...

Everyone's opinion matters. Wouldn't be a fourm if you didn't post right?

Anyhow, I hope Rukia becomes strong and a Shimagami/strong again too. It seems like shes passed her "I dont deserve to live" phase like you said, so hopefully she can gets strong and show us some skills (she's used the most Demon Arts in the the show so far).
Does that collar still restict her power even without the cables connected to it?

Kraco

Sat, 10-29-2005, 06:46 AM

Yeah. I hope she does regain her powers and self-esteem fast. Otherwise she won't be able to kick Ichigo's lazy ass anymore. During the past few scenes with those two together Ichigo has always got the last word. Won't be much of an anime couple if that countinues much longer, although naturally it was necessary as long as she was a prisoner.

I was always disappointed to know that Rukia wasn't as strong as I thought she was. She's my favorite character, so I wonder what will happen to her after all this mess. If there is another story arc, perhaps she will be more involved on the fighting side, perhaps? That'd be cool if I finally got to see her kick some ass like she should be doing.

I want to see Rukia with her powers back. Never saw her with powers except at the beginning of the series. But she sacrificed herself basically. Premise of the story. But really, nothing beats a good comeback. Rukia vs. Spiky LIVE on pay per view. I wanna see that. They'd end in a scene with as they say in french "l'amour féroce". Hmm... maybe that last part goes in another topic hehe. In any case, it'll be interesting how this pans out.

I too am confused by all the fights. There's obviously some internal, unspoken rivalries going on. But it's just a bit much right now. I get the main points... but the lesser characters are hard to keep track of. And Renji... DUDE!!! This guy's got a death wish. But I laughed seeing him get crushed. Rukia's nii-san is awesome. I hope he doesn't pansy out.

And about Spiky being all-powerful. Well, the whole series starts out with that premise. I like that they make him train. Even if it is only for a little while. And he's always put in life or death situations. You learn quickly this way. How many times would these Death gods be in that position and live through it? So spiky is getting a crash course. I have no problem with that. It's way better than him beating everyone up without a sweat from day 1.

First of all they have to maintain order in Soul Society...

Second, there are many hollows out there that are stronger that what you've seen, though they rarely make their way to Earth, they mostly stay in Hueco Mundo (the Menos for example)... so shikai and bankai come in handy when fighting them...

I was thinking about those hollows too. I am not a manga reader (although I have been tempted, for my excitement to find out what happens starts to get to me around Saturday evening), but I do have some wild speculation to contribute. Perhaps like Bud said, that Hueco Mundo has some pretty powerful players (i.e. Menos Grande). Going further, hollows could have a system analogus to SS in that there are Captain-like hollows with powerful abilities and/or weapons (kinda like soul slayers with their shikai and bankai). Therefore, the 13 squads could be matched in both strength and number by hollows. This would fulfill a commonly used theme in anime/movies/novels dealing with 'balance'. Perhaps Ichigo represents a loss somehow of the balance. Maybe there'll be a new threat beyond the SS that would tip the scales back. I guess time will tell. Speaking of which...SUB, SUB, SUB, SUB...can't wait for 56!

Splash!

Tue, 11-01-2005, 03:24 PM

they probably need the shikai and bankai to beat stronger hollows, hmm, whatever they look like. I dunno, at this stage hollows seem kinda weak and useless. Come to think of it there has been no hollows apart from the ones in flashbacks since ichigo entered SS.

masamuneehs

Tue, 11-01-2005, 06:48 PM

You have to think that the Hollows will be back, and in a big way too... The end of the new intro certainly suggests that the Hollows will be coming back into play in grand fashion soon.

I mean, it's the opportunity they've been waiting for isn't it? Soul Society is in turmoil, fighting crazilly amongst themselves, preoccupied with Rukia's execution and the interferance of the ryoka (Ichigo and crew) who are posing a greater problem than they've ever seen from the outside. If you're one of the Hollow elite, you've been itching for a chance like this one... I can't imagine them just staying idle... Maybe they'll even make it to Soul Society in the confusion (holy shit that would insane, a total war)
