I just caught up on Bleach, and the fight between the old bounto and creepy captain was awsome, putting aside that I dislike him. You gotta appreciate his personality, he is quite a perplex guy.

The fight between Ishida and the annoying lady was not imperssive. I thought she should have died when Bakuya used sen bon zak (sp) to save Rukia. She is just a space filler after all. Nothing really deep about her and I personally thought that she was a coward from the start, it was just a gut feeling that I had ever since I saw her.

Skipping ahead to this episode and bypassing everything that happened between Kariya and Ichigo.


I say this episode was alright. It was not great but it was not a total waste either. It was annoying as hell to watch in the begining, I mean just looking at Toshiro and Masamoto running around was a real annoyance. I mean they are both masters or Shunpo (sp). Why were they taking there time in running around like they didn't have a care in the world.

What really bugged me though is that everytime Hitsugaya caught up to a group that was defeated he had to hold one of the fallen shinigami's in his hand and ask if you were ok. That just really irritated me. But for the grand finally amazingly Hitsugaya finally remember that he can use shunpo and finally realized that only a strong person such as a captain can defeat a bounto like this.( It is not what he said what I felt that is what was implied from the episode/ arc structure) and was mysteriously able to caught up to the bounto in a matter of seconds.

The fight was pretty decent. I didn;t think Toshiro was cruel, just doing his job and reacting normally to the situation that was presented to him. We finally got to take a closer look at how his bankai works and there is alot that is left to be wondered or questioned about it. I can say this though Controlling an ice dragon is pretty damn cool, making all that useless running around worth it.

I felt kinda sad for Koga, he was a loyal and honorable character, but we all must walk the path that we have chosen. He fought well but die in a really lonely state, pretty sad really. He was the only bounto that I really even took an interest in.

Well on to the next one. Shiny head is in it and for the most part when he is in something it is quite funny, but this also hits that it would just be another episode to take up space. But it should be interesting.
