Well, Urahara said that Tsubaki was 'destroyed'. I kinda took that for 'died' =/He didn't die? I guess destroying the physical manifestation doesn't equal to death. After all, he seemed to be fine and energetic in this ep again.

I think they're responding to this part of your previous post:Originally Posted by Spiegel
Because if they "achieved in less time" this "meaningless background information" and "spent more time continuing the story", that just gets us to filler time sooner.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
using Flomp-Rumbel's release this time.
00:33 -Flomp-Rumbels' translation of the OP lyrics feel more fitting of actually connecting the implied message of the song than DB's.
1:31 - WTF is that sound? That's some creepy, foreboding shit, along with the upskirt-angle on Orihime... Immediately makes me suspect they're going to start making good on the foreshadowing going on in the OP
2:14 - Oh Yumichika, playing that stereotype card as hard as possible...
3:33 - I'm surprised too. Did not expect that Keigo would block Matsumoto's kick so well... Do we have the hint of a little Hollow slaying utility developing? I think we do!
3:47 - ... but seriously, just a hint of a little, tiny, shred of utility... comic relief-kun, you'd best stick to the sidelines if you know what's good for ya.
4:10 - that has got to be the most detailed translation note on a totally insignificant minor detail that I've ever seen. I am so sticking with these guys from now on.
4:41 - Urahara has a gift in women feel awkward that I thought only Assassin was blessed with...
5:50 - "ok ok!" what the hell is wrong with the super cheesy, English using hero themes in this show? They have to be spoofs, there's no way the composer's goal was to be taken seriously with this kind of stuff... This was a remix of the most surious "Number One" track, if i heard properly.
6:00 - Goddamn dolls...
But then,

6:35 - Pwnage.
7:55 - I like how Inoue goes out of her way to declare her intentions, when it's fairly obvious that Urahara sent for her to be brought to him exactly for the opposite purpose... Well, if the pawn likes to delude itself into thinking it's in control, all the better for the king, he's got a happier soldier.
9:23 - but man, Urahara has such a way of speaking to people... He always jokes or says sacrastic shit or insults. It's strange because I almost wonder if he's going for a reverse psychology approach, it's hard to figure him out.
9:49 - Hanatarou's face made me lol. Such a pitiful dude...
11:26 - Naturally! Man, this is probably the worst thing that could happen... Inoue so does not react well to Rukia's kind of...
12:10 - constructive critiscism... She frickin made the poor girl cry... Fuckin pitiful Inoue.
14:45 - Can he come off as less of a potential rapist? I mean, it's just absurd for a big, huge softy like that to still be so awkwardly threatening when he's being serious. Guy reminds me of Bob from Fight Club, don't ask me why.
15:17 - The beginning of some answers to some serious questions about ability. "These hairpins are the material form of your power, something much like a Zanpaktou. How rare!" To be human and have a 'Zanpaktou'... So, if she does go Hueco Burrito, she'd be Arrancar right off the bat? How did DB translate it?
also, he goes on to say (in the Flomp translation) : "How rare! But it seems to be missing something... I've been wondering about it since you came here earlier..." But with Inoue's response, "I can't fix it, it broke into pieces" and what you all got from DB, maybe he was just referring to Tsubaki missing... Finally, how many of her hairpins does she actually utilize currently, just one, or both?
16:00 - An otherwise super cute anime gal suddenly falls from grace. I don't think I could fap to hentai of her now... nor for the remainder of my years...
17:34 - welcome back, you crazy, upstart, buzzing, winged midget ninja.
18:10 - she says she wants to fight, but is that really how it is? I feel like we're getting a loose sense of "fight", where too much worth is placed on purely offensive capability. Orihime is obviously not the kind who would go around looking to kill things, even Hollow, she just lacks that killer instinct. But you look at anyone in the 4th Squad, Hachi, even Sado a little bit, and they aren't much different. They want to be part of the fight, but they're not Kenpachis. I don't see the problem with bringing along someone who can heal and defend. Hell, if she can defend herself, even without attacking, she'd be fine... I'm sure she can get her shit together in time, just like Fat Pinky said.
20:17 - points to Tousen really hurting Grimmjow by completely destroying his arm... But also leaves open the possiblity that Arrancar can regenerate, they just have to be on the level and wavelength of Ulqiorra.
20:48 - Yup, it's official. That sucks for Grimm, looks like he'll almost be this arc's equivalent of Renji (early challenger which Ichigo can sorta compete, but who will work hard only to be defeated later on by Ichigo as an appetizer for the main fight). I'm shocked that Yami is an Espada. Seriously must be a gap between 6 and 10...
21:16 - omfg. Cold blooded shit. And that healer was a dude?
21:40 - like every good strategist and coach I've ever seen, Aizen goes over the game tape multiple times. That earns him some points. Again, the foreshadowing from the OP is finally tangible in the actual episode, but right now it feels like Aizen will be the aggressor in getting Inoue to Taco Hueco, while I'd thought from the OP that she was going to decidedly leave on her own initiative.
What the hell is up with the kid in the episode preview?

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".
What disappointed me about this episode is that they had two weeks since the last episode to create it and the animation was sub-par. They probably waited until the second week to draw it, which just seems lazy to me.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Err.... a 30 minute episode takes months to draw... they don't do every episode the very same week.
I really doubt it takes that long, especially with color copiers and computers. Maybe back in the 80s it took months.

That makes a lot more sense opposed to what I thought they were responding to, I guess what I really meant is spend less time on the parts of the episode that are just explaining the background information. It seemed at some parts with Inoue they took 10 seconds to display one expression. To me that just means either the writers want to over-do some expressions or the artist are trying to take more time on a single movement then drawing more into the episode.
I am not sure if any of that really made sense, but it was an episode I could have done without.
The preview for the next episode looks like it's pure filler.
Well, with a 3 month time skip, this is actually another good spot to stick a filler arc so it doesn't ruin the main story.
Huh? Did you just say a spoiler? I have no clue what the hell you're talking about. I don't read the manga.
lol oh come on, revealing that the story after this episode comes after a 3 month time skip isn't a spoiler. Quit nitpicking. It's no more a spoiler than knowing the new season of Naruto would start after a 3 year time skip was. I don't read manga either, but something that trivial isn't worth making noise about.
Back on topic, each of Inous "fairies" seems to take up two pins on her hairpins, so Hachi's comment that "a couple are missing" is most certainly refering to that as someone else mentioned.
Kiego isn't gaining any real power. That part, imo, was put there for sheer comic relief. He blocks the first blow which is the same as last time and then gets smoked with the next. Pretty typical anime lecher comic relief fair.
In regards to Gimmjow i agree he's probably going to get a demotion, but i'm sure he'll still be an espada. Even with only one arm i'd bet he's still stronger than yammi after the severe beating he gave Ichigo. More than likely he'll be one of the first people Ichigo kicks the living shit out of when he's finished mastering his Hollow powers.
The Captain Commander mentioned something about the Hogyoku not being viable untill winter, and if you pretend the filler arc never happened it should still be summer in the Bleach universe.
I don't read the manga either, but it's been said in the anime like 5 times now that Aizen is going to need several months to prepare and they're all "we have to train for the uncoming battle this winter." The new schoolyear just started at the beginning of this arc, which was like a few days ago. So if the battle is in the winter, it's months from now.
