man, i can't believe how pathetic these captain and vice-captains are as opposed to Ikkaku. the arrancars haven't even released their zanpo. yet, and they're already close to death. so from we saw in this episode, would it be safe to assume that Ikkaku is the strongest shinigami amongst the team that was sent there? heck, i think he would rank even higher than kenpachi in terms of power. next week looks good. hopefully we'll get to see Hollow Ichigo in action.
You must have not been paying attention to this episode.
As has been mentioned before, Vice-captains and Captains have their powers sealed in the real world so they don't cause too much damage.
Obviously those seals were just broken at the end of the episode.
Ikkaku had the benefit of having the power of a captain, without being sealed because he doesn't have the rank of one.
Now, what was it Renji said, he's 5 times stronger in SS than he is on earth. If the seals all work on that ratio, all 3 of them will get 5 times as powerful now. The fights should be alot more even.
Seriously though...Ururu?...what the hell?!
lol ya, that part with ururu was pure pwnage. she made that arrancar her bitch.
This ep was freaking awesome. Especially the end, since i've been waiting for it to be animated for so long. I loved how matsumoto just blocks the fat guy with one hand and stands rite up like nothings happened. The next few eps should be pretty awesome.
We also found out about the arrancar strength system. 1-10 are the strongest, and 11-20 (there were 20 total rite?), are named in order of birth/transformation. If Grimjow is the 6th strongest, i wonder who the first is. And where does ulquirra rank, since im pretty sure he's an espada as well.
Ururu owned this episode. Sadly censorship didn't allow us to see her painful defeat clearly.
Ilforte Grantz... I still believe he should be Ilforte Grandz... -> El Fuerte Grande (The Big Strong)
At least they used Del Toro.
It sux to read a translation that says... 'You said you are Arrancar Eleven... so then you are the eleventh'
Nice episode.
No ep next week.
I have a feeling Ichigo will turn into a Vaizard soon. That, or maybe get help from one. I hope I'm right cause the Vaizard look so badass.
thanks for clearing that up. seriously though, i thought every shinigami, including ichigo, had their power sealed to some extent. now it makes more sense why Ikkaku looks so much more badass than the rest of the team.Originally Posted by DarthEnder
I have to agree with Masa quite completely. Renji's fight was just painful to watch. Even with his power sealed (for whatever witless bureaucratic reason), he should have been 100 times better than in this episode. It was just a disgrace. And when the dolls suddenly appeared I was about ready to go and shoot my neighbour (the dolls getting cut, hopefully mortally, saved that neighbour. A lucky bastard).
Well, let's hope the next episode will be better, when they don't anymore have to make an artificial point of how the doods have their powers sealed, and they should fight normally again.
I don't know about Ichigo though... I don't think he's limited for some reason. Same reason why Urahara, Yoruichi, and Isshin shouldn't have restrictions.

Only active Captains and Vice-Captains are limited.
Since Urahara and Yorouichi (and probably Isshin) are 'rogue' they aren't limited.
Ichigo is a subtitute. Ikkaku, Yumichika and Rukia are seated shinigami (or level, in Rukia's case), so they aren't limited.
But yeah... the dolls messed up the fight.
