Fresh off DB's tracker
Bleach 106
I was worried the whole episode was going to be boring flashbacks but the second half redeemed itself with some good fighting.
As expected, Ishida has managed to lose his powers again, which is good because it means the fillers haven't ruined any manga stuff now.
I would normally complain about replacing the opening vid with what is essentially a commercial for their new movie, but the movie footage is actually cooler than the regular opening vid.
Aye. I agree with DE: The second half saved this episode quite nicely. The first part was pretty useless, but irrelevant history lessons have been quite prominent during this arc, so in that sense it's hardly anything new.
Ishida was quite true to his character, and the fighting was surprisingly good considering how bad Ishida's condition already was. But apparently his weapon was quite effective in principle against Kariya. Ichigo's shikai blast should be something quite similar, an energy based attack, so maybe he should try to hit Kariya with it. At least it would deliver a bigger punch at once.
I don't usually watch openings more than once, but now I thought I had become demented, because I just couldn't remember seeing it before. Good thing DE saved me... I spotted one interesting thing among the other stuff:
Is this Rukia's shikai? (Sorry about the somewhat low quality edit...)
Wow that movie footage looked excellent, Unlike the Naruto movies it seems like many more characters will be involved in the movie which is excellent. When is it supposed to come out?
@ Kraco You should know no one's allowed to answer that b/c it would be a spoiler no matter what, but check your pms.
As for the episode, the fighting was okay, but as usual Ishida showed how much of a sap he is by wasting his awesome giant arrow, shooting it into the air and not shooting it at the weakened Kariya. While this was clearly just a tool to facilitate the Kariya vs Ichigo (final?) battle it doesn't mesh with his character to waste an opportunity like that.

I actually don't care for when they try to cram every character in the series into a movie. They did that in the last OVA and all it ends up doing is alot of really powerful characters, standing around doing nothing.Originally Posted by Yukimura
I love those previews as well (both the one at the beginning and at the end) it gives alot to think about and look forward too. what is the release on the movie again?
image fail!
well i've seen the ep but like you all know the first half was not so trilling
second half was fun but not what i'd expect from ichida
he wanted revenge so why didnt he aim the energy at karia
wel as for the opening I REALLY WANT THAT MOVIE
