Bleach 118 is out

http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/b118.torrent

damnit. I finished downloading it a few minutes before I have to sleep. Won't be able to watch it until 11pm tomorrow. Hopefully the action will be top notch...why the f is this opera thing going off my screen? I cna't read what i am typing anymore b/c i ca (deleted stuff so i don't know what i was saying). ...im going back to firefox for normal browsing. I'll post a few pics of the stupid stuff opera does. Hopefully someone will know how to resolve it. (i.e. when things go so far off screen i can't read it, and when i have to click far above/below/to the side of a button to get it to work)

That ep was pure ownage. thank goodness that they didn't focus on all the fights at once. It's interesting to note what releases mean for the Hybrids.

And Ichigo is going to totally go nuts on Grim

As a added note this is the first time I tried out the new zoomplayer with the new version of CCCP. I like the upgrade alot more over the other one.

This ep was rather good. Got to see 2 new releases in one episode and how an Arrancar releases his zanpakutou.

PS.... Ikkaku is badass.

BAN KAI!!
Heheh... have been waiting ages to see that scene...

Anyways... like DeadFire said, it was awesome they focused in just one fight, while showing just a bit of Ichigo and Rukia's situation. Rukia got owned...

On Dattebayo's matters... at least they used the spanish words on the preview...

[hitokiriender]

Wow... Ikkaku's bankai and eyecatcher at 18:00 mins in

[DarthEnderX]

Holy shit! I think I have a new fucking favorite character!

Yeah... in this episode they used "iron" instead of "hierro" when Edorad reffered to his skin, which is fine as a translation, but it would've been nice to see it as a spanish term.

Ikkaku reminds me so much of Kenpachi, its no wonder they are in the same division. What I'm curious about is how long has it been since he could do ban kai ... cause if it was back when he fought Ichigo for the first time, I'm thinking he would of tore him up.

[masamuneehs]

the legend of 11th Squad continues to grow! "Fearless" indeed... doesn't hurt that he's got bloodlust like woah!

Arrancars' having releases didn't seem likely to me at first, since I originally understood Shikai and Bankai as drawing upon the power of the Zanpaktou to aid the fighter. But it seems that there is no Zanpaktou-spirit-type entity connected with the Hollow's Zanpaktou's. Like Edmundo (sp?) said, they're more like limiters that let the Arrancar go to full power when released.

something tells me the Bankai equivalent for Arrancars is going to be something wicked...

I am still worried what Yumikichika meant about preparing for Ikkaku's funeral. I guess his Bankai release might use so much energy when used in the Real World that it winds up fatally wounding him or something. I'd hate to see baldy go...

(and it really looks like he will, since the preview for next episode seems to be all flashbacks about his past... When, amidst a crazy battle like I'm sure everyone's fighting, they focus on a minor character, at the height of his struggle, for a background episode... that just always seems to be a sign that they're about to kill the poor guy off...)

I realize they haven't killed a substantial Soul Society character yet (not even that hoe Hinamori), but something's nagging at me about Ikkaku's chances...

Rukia is down!

Rukia pulled a Sakura ^.^

Haha, I can see what you mean by the flashbacks foreshadowing something, I hope this is just a flash back when the battle ends, Baldy just rocks =(.

Grimmjow just seems crazy, I wonder how Ichigo will respond, or if he'll go berserk after seeing Rukia get taken down.

Ikkaku wins best poses (really, the animation was pretty good):


Edit: PICTURE SPOILERS AHEAD! (though if you read every post up until now, you already got spoiled =P):

When Yumi said prepare for the funeral, I don't think he was counting on Ikkaku using his Bankai, I think he thought Ikkaku would lose. For some reason Ikkaku wants to keep his bankai hidden from other Shinigami, at least that's what I infer by Ikkaku saying that "since everyone else is occupied, I don't think they'll notice" and then he used his bankai.

I wonder if Yumi can also do bankai, if I remember correctly he was suppose to be seat number 3 in the division, but Ikkaku, his friend, already had that posistion so he chose seat number 5 for some wierd reason.

Anyways, Ikkaku just became a very cool character and Kubo has to milk it for all its worth, so I can't see him killing him off just now.

What's cool also is that since Ikkaku is not a Vice-Captain or above, he probably has nothing restraining his reiatsu in the real world, so we'll probably going to see his full potential.

OMG this episode was amazing!

1.

Arrancars' having releases didn't seem likely to me at first, since I originally understood Shikai and Bankai as drawing upon the power of the Zanpaktou to aid the fighter. But it seems that there is no Zanpaktou-spirit-type entity connected with the Hollow's Zanpaktou's. Like Edmundo (sp?) said, they're more like limiters that let the Arrancar go to full power when released.

not exactly true, if i remember correctly the zampakto is forged from the wielders soul, and is a manifestation of the souls desire to cut (zaraki mentioned some thing to this effect in his fight with ichigo, as well as byakuya in thier first fight when he cut ichigo's sword in half). the zampakto is part of the soul of the wielder and reflects the will of the wielder, a release of a zampakto is obtained by understanding your soul better. the closer you come to understanding/accepting your soul the more power you release from within your self. as ichigo said, the only person who can teach him to use zangetsu is zangetsu.
so if you belive what i've said so far, then the difference in a shinigami's zampakto and a arancar zampakto is moot. both are manifestations of the wielders souls, the manifestations differ, i think, because of the difference in souls of the arancar and shinigami, or really just the difference in souls of any two individuals.
i also believe it too early to say that there is no spirit-type entity for arancar, the fact that his zampakto has a name(volcania - *sounds like a chick to me*) implies an entity.
- my two cents on that issue
(sorry about the mystical-mumbo-jumbo post, as always feel free to disagree.)

2.
Madarame Ikaku ROCKS! his bankai looks weird (mainly cause i can't figure out where that 3rd blade floating behind him is attached to). makes you think though, if ikaku has bankai, and he is 3rd seat, how powerful is yachiru? zaraki doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would have yachiru as his lieutenant just cause they been together for long, i mean zaraki respects strength. yachiru is probably kiduo based, but she must be hella strong if ikaku can't beat her.
3. i'm really starting to dig yamichika(sp?), he seems pretty cool and he wasn't supprised by ikaku's bankai, seems he already knew about it. i look forward to seeing him fight, (if you guys remember he owned that lieutenant with the tatoo on his arm, although they didn't show much of that fight. (can't remember his name, he's the dog faced captatins lieutenant ).

sorry about the long post, this episode was so amazing, i feel like going out onto the street and telling random people all about it
