/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
Hmm, I wasn't expecting them to stretch Ikkakku's back story to an entire episode. But it was interesting enough.
Some don't like this kind of episodes. For me it was great.
Every aspect of Ikkaku's past was very well done. And even some surprises for some, like Renji looking up to Ikkaku, even when Renji became a Vice-Captain. Wonder how powerful is Yumichika as well. He did defeat Hisagi easily on the Rescue Arc.
LOL at the cadet telling Yachiru to go... I was hoping for her to scare the life out of the poor idiot.
Oh man. Totally new favorite character.
Even though his reason for hiding his bankai I had already guessed, I never would have guessed that he had been stronger than Renji for the entire series.
It's wierd because the first episode with Ikkaku in it just aired on Adult Swim. And it's so much more awsome watching it now that you know he could have defeated Ichigo at any time and just didn't.
Also, really looking forward to Kon's Erotic Adventures in Soul Society!
I'm always up for seeing more Kenpachi backstory. But they still haven't shown what the hell it is that Yachiru does, other than drawing Kenpachi slaughterfests with chalk.
My new favorite episode.
i love my backstory episodes!
i was surprised enough when Ikkaku pulled out Bankai, but I was even more surprised that Renji was his student for so long. I was also shocked that none of the other Vice-Captains have achieved Bankai. I thought others would, but that was largely off of seeing that Renji and Ichigo could obtain it. I mean, I guess I just took it for granted that other Vice-Captains and strong seats would have Bankai...
I don't think Ikkaku let Ichigo beat him. He set the terms of the battle (no Bankai) and tried his hardest within them. Maybe limiting himself like that caused him to lose to Ichigo, but that's not the same in my book as letting him win.
I love backstory episodes, so I was completely satisfied to have just about the whole thing as a flashback. Also reminded me how complete a badass Kenpachi is.
Looks like Yumichika misjudged his friend. I still think that's weird. I guess Yumichika counted on Ikkaku not using his Bankai, otherwise I don't understand ordering the funeral... Yumi was also pretty cool in the flashbacks. The long hair and the flowered robe really fits his character, although I'd like for them to have gone more into the actual beginning of him and Ikkaku. They're probably leaving that for Yumichika's background episode... There's no doubt in my mind he's as strong (possibly stronger) than Ikkaku.
I really thought Ikkaku was going to bite the big one, especially since minor characters who suddenly get entire episodes dedicated to their backstory generally don't make it very long... But, is he out of the woods yet? Next episode preview made it look like it'll be Hitsugaya and Renji fighting... so Edoardo is dead? Like, all the way dead? I never trust a death until the head comes off or the fucker disintegrates.
Totally! I usually don't care for those end of episode things, but the whole prospect of Kon in Hanatarou's body, going around all pervy in Soul Society, ah man I wish they'd make an entire spin-off series for stuff like that...Originally Posted by DarthEnder
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well, with almost being split in half, I bet he's dead... I think that's the importance of him saying that he was glad he asked for Ikkaku's name.
i downloaded it it was pretty cool.
