    ...Grimmjow had both arms in the post-episode "Encyclopedia of Arrancar" bit... An oversight, perhaps? Would seem so, given what Ulquiorra said last episode...

    Rehashed stuff we already know, subpar animation, characters doing their normal "this is what makes me unique" bits from previous episodes, brand new story that pales in comparison with what it's interupting, and the knowledge that more is on the way next week...

    I am currently trying to forget that this episode even happened.

    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".

    He probably just have had enough time already to grow himself a new arm. They can do that, after all, so I don't know why he wouldn't.

    They can't. Remember in the episode where Ulquiorra was talking to Espada #10 that got his arm lopped off? He said that he was lucky that they could retrieve his arm and reattach it, and that he was lucky his situation wasn't like Grimmjow's where he had his lopped off and his arm destroyed. And once that happened, he would be kicked out of the Espada.

    Actually anything like they couldn't wasn't explicitly said. Espada #10 was saying he would have rather have left it to heal by itself like Ulquiorra let his eye to heal. To that Ulquiorra commented #10 would have been kicked out if he had opted to do that. It could be growing a new arm takes that long a time - for the number #10 at least, and being the weakest already, it could have rendered him too weak in the mean time to stay in Espada.

    However, we know nothing about Grimmjow's situation, but I'd believe he could beat that number 10 guy even with one arm, so he can take his jolly time and grow a new one in any case (well, it's the only option with the old destroyed). He wouldn't be kicked out due to lost power. Maybe he lost a position or two, though.

    Hopefully, there is other show to watch.

    Buuuutt, Matsumoto Gigai gave enough hentai lead for a decade.

    Hey, ho! Back to One Piece we go!

    Now all we need is for Naruto to enter in to a filler arc about how he came up with his massive yet still useless against agile targets rasengan.

    maybe its a good thing i didnt' read the manga. For a filler it does its job of keeping me entertained while I wait for the 'orohime gets into trouble' stuff. Most notably the 'booby smothering' by Matsumoto and the kid calling the 11th squad guys names hahaha

    Hollows are interesting, and this partial arrancar did a decent job of putting some action in, i prefer them over bountos. The hollow/arrancar is probably some relative/murderer from the kid's past.

    And god damnit, enough arrancar research time, i want the shinigami cup back! Love the part w/ grimmjow though hehe. Its so true.

    What Yammy actually said was that he WISHED he could grow his arm back like Ulquiorra did with his eye. He has to have the old one reattached because he lacks Ulquiorra's regenerative abilities. We don't even know if Ulquiorra can regenerate anything besides that eye.

    Yeah, well, you can interpret it that way if you want, but we just saw Grimmjow with two arms, so unless you really believe the only explanation is a glaring error by the animation team and the director, it makes somewhat sense to keep your eyes open to all possibilities.

    i personally put more stock into the previous episode, which was apparently not filler, including the discussion between yami (Espada 10) and Ulqiorra, where they make it quite clear that Grimmjow won't be growing back his arm, since Tousen burned it.

    i simply see all filler as hastily made drivel that the studio doesn't care much about in getting right, they just want something to fill the timeslot and get maybe OK ratings... So I honestly do believe it is a "glaring error" on the part of the fools who were in charge of this week's installment. I mean, look at the rest of the episode and tell me you think those guys aren't capable of fuckin up like that? (honestly, they probably used exact animation of Grimm from previous episodes and pasted it in to make this week's Arrancar Encyclopedia, as the majority of that sequence has been literally clips of previous footage)

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
