I just shit my pants over Hollow Ichigo!
And Byakua is every dungeonmasters worst nightmare, a rules lawyer!

FUCKING CLIFFHANGERS! Really, the next episode isn't even until December 6th. That's just evil.
Ok, Hollow Ichigo was random as hell. Just kinda showed up, went nuts, and then "left."
I also don't really know what to say about the end of the fight...I didn't expect Byakuya to just leave like that.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
His sword was broken, what else is he gonna do?
"Man, I better get outta here before that guy turns into a hollow again and fucking kills me"
It did suck that hollow ichi went away so fast. It's almost like the first time Naruto uses the fox power, you think, omg, this is so fucking awsome, and then 10 seconds later it's over.
Yeah, he got that mask when he almost died in training right? Really weird. Byakuya didn't even know what it was, but he did say it was another entity or something. My reaction when I saw it was "Wow! What the hell is this?"
I like the way the fight ended. Byakuya's sword got destroyed, so nothing left to do.
But the real question I want answered is: Does Ichigo have yet another power move that Zangetsu hasn't gotten around to teaching him? Damn, is this the move that finally collapses the ledge?
The ledge? No, its the ultimate DEFENSE! (couldn't resist) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Anyhow I'm quite sure Ichigo has many more techniques, but he is sortof a noob at all this (his fighting skill is not really up to par though his strength is, and he can't control his bankai fully yet). Plus he said "Zangetus only taught me this one techinque" which is kidna foreshadowing that he might learn a different technique later on (and it seemed like masked Ichigo was doing dark variations of Ichigo's attack?Originally posted by: V

Speaking of the masked version of Ichigo, freaky son of a itch wasn't he? =P Listen to his voice and ask yourself does he remind you of some character you met in the past. I mean I'm sure almost everyone noticed the tone and fighting style of this guy. And yes first time it came out I was also like "wtf is that?" lol good times.

Wow, the hollow Ichigo is fricken insane! Kinda looked like Gin with that maniacal laugh/face. All I got to say is, "Kuroi Getsuga" was awesome!
Looks like BanKai has several (if not many) different levels/moves. Byakuya's second was strange...I still don't quite get why Ichigo was slowed down so much. Can anyhow explain? I'll certainly have to watch again.
@XanBcoo: Yeah, I was thinking, "Show what is inside, show what is inside. SHIT, a cliffhanger!" Oh, well guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks before finding out. I need to somehow ween myself from this show. Tuesday nights are killing me and the wait sucks too!

I think I can answer your first question about Ichigo slowing down... this is pretty much Ichigo's first real battle test run with his Bankai (as in not training with it) and its very strong and impressive. Yet it does have it's downside ... think of it as a HUGE battery that makes him go really really fast, but eventually that battery runs out of energy. Now replace the battery with Ichigo's body, theres only so much of the Bankai he can take before his body gets so warn down that he hits his limit. When he hits his limit, thats pretty much it for him. I believe he has pleanty more attacks and can probably control his bankai better and last longer if he has more training with it. Rmember bayaka said usualy they gotta train for 10 years + with the bankai before they can really get it down (thus Renji getting pwned quickly). This is not anything that hasn't been said in the Anime, just clarifying for FrogKing or anyone else who is confused about it.
Nice sig btw Frog King
