Yeah, I found it dumb for them not to leave the spanish terms. They might as well say "I'm Tear-Off Sixteen, and I'm from Hollow World."Originally Posted by RyougaZell

-I want Chad to kick those Arrancar arses
-Renji's shikai owned
-Rukia's oneshot awesome ( Hey I can fly dumbass Yeah great ... You'll never get me with your ground attacks ! *Shoot Ice-Patriot Sol-Air missile Rukia Winz) Thaaat was quick...
-Would like to see Rukia's replacement pill into Ichigo's body instead of Kon.
Honnestly feels good, no filler, no dolls ... Just Bleach
It was sweet indeed to finally see Rukia kick some ass as a real shinigami with a zanpakutou. And when that the muthafucka arrancar chose to appear to pester Rukia and Ichigo, in the coming episodes we might see some real fighting. This first arrancar was, after all, pretty weak. Although it's also true Rukia surprised the dude quite thoroughly.
Also, Ichigo is getting more and more tsundere treatment, it seems to me. Although he's perhaps not the most typical guy recipient of such handling. There's enough punk left in him from the early episodes.
Well, Rukia shikai was very nice, but I don't believe we will be seeing bankai any time soon. It shouldn't really be very commonplace, and, although I could be wrong, I never thought Rukia was as extraordinary as Ichigo. Of course she has had far more time to be a shinigami, but if she really was that strong, I think the very beginning of the show would have been different.
Agreed on both parts, Rukia kicked some major ass with her shikai. I wonder however did she really have it from the beginning? or get it later (flashback to the first EP when she fought that weak hollow)Originally Posted by Kraco
Another thing to what would Rukia's bankai be like? It shikai is freezing a circle, Bankai must be something like freezing a area the size of a mile
image fail!
Yeah Rukia owns.
I seriously hope that they explain how she ever lost to a regular hollow in the first episode. It makes no sense.
It'll be useless to explain it, and you'll simply get a shitty explanation. Just consider it that she got caught off guard somehow, especially with Ichigo meddling. And if you consider that this was probably the first time she has ever talked with a human being, especially in her Shinigami form, she might've not had her head in the game. Just think of it like that and move on.
Well, I dont think that was the complete power of Rukia's shikai. The attack was called the First Dance: White Moon. To me, that suggests that her shikai has other attacks also, but the first one was the only one she needed at the time. Her shikai's other powers and attacks might be able to do more than just freeze a circle.Originally Posted by Deadfire
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
With many shinigami the shikai and bankai have something in common, like with Hitsugaya, Renji, and Byakuya. With Ichigo, there's practically nothing in common between the shikai and bankai. I wonder if it somehow related to the nature of the zanpaktou. Rukia's seems to be quite similar to Hitsugaya's, and elemental one, and it's quite likely her bankai would also somehow be related to ice. Renji's is just as obvious, though not elemental, as well as Byakuya's, at least to an extent, as it seems to rely on numerous copies and such.
So, in that sense, it would be safe to assume Rukia's bankai would also be quite freezing. Well, I don't expect we will see her bankai in the series ever. Unless something surprising happens, like her becoming a vaizard to make Ichigo feel less lonely, or something...
Great episode! I loved seeing Rukia's shikai finally and the fact that she is strong enough to be a ranked officer - now we are getting to see her fight on a new level. I hope Ikkaku kicks ass next ep - he was completely crazy. Same goes for Hitsugaya: "It looks like I hit the jackpot." - "No. You are probably the biggest looser of all."![]()
I dare say you're right because Rukia' s First Dance thing is rather a trap than a direct attack I'd say. Once the enemy knows how this technique works he could just simply avoid getting harmed by not stepping into the circle or not getting above. So Rukia better has direct hit attack - something like "Second Dance - Icebeam Of Pure Awesomeness"...Originally Posted by Phoenix20578

That's of course only true as long as she cannot:
-create a really huge circle and freeze things within it selectively or
- create the circle anywhere she likes and not only where she's standing
i'd like to see rukia and kimimaro in a dancing contest.![]()
hitsugaya's comeback was great. it seems like a lot of people under estimate him because of his size. it looks like chad is turning into a wuss. he just ran off because ichigo said he would take care of the guy, that was pretty lame. the rest of the episode was great. it looks like we are going to have some good fights coming up.
