[Dattebayo] Bleach - Episode 201: Download
==================================================
Excellent episode, I must say. Kenpachi and Nnoita are just too awesome on a huge power-level scale. Both are having fun and enjoy what's progressing so far. Lets see how far they get before one emerges victorious.

I <3 Kenpachi. I think that's all that really needs to be said
Indeed.
And yet...I shall say more! Episode was so fucking sweet! So now Kenpachi has revealed all his old powerups, and Noitra has finally revealed the power up we knew was coming, so now it's just a matter of what is Kenpachi gonna show us thats new that kicks Noitra's ass!
I'm really starting to wonder about Kenpachi's sword. He mentioned it was "sharper" for fighting someone as powerful as Noitra, so perhaps that is some foreshadowing of a release? I mean, Kenpachi's sword doesn't talk to him, but maybe its just never been exciting/fun enough for it to care.
As cliche as it is, and as much as it doesn't fit his character, I would love to see Ken go Bankai on Noitra's sorry ass. I mean seriously, bragging about having a gaping hole in his head: Noitra deserves a beating.
I think Kenpachi has still been taking it pretty easy. He has got slashed a few times now, but I still haven't been getting the feeling from him that he would really consider himself to be fighting for his very life. Perhaps after this latest surprise extra arm attack Kenpachi will start to get serious. He still hasn't even delivered the debated attack with both hands, either.
Nnoitra's four weapons are kind of redundant. They are so bulky there's no way he could actually use more than two effectively at once in any attack, lest they get into each others' way. The rest are just for show, or should he lose one, he could immediately compensate. I wonder how much reiatsu he has left, though. He has now fought for a long time, first against Nel as well, and now he's even regrowing arms. His body seems so light anyway that he should be running out of steam any time now if anything in this show makes any sense. You'd think he would try to finish this all soon.
Before Kenpachi's own speech, I thought with his old mastery of fighting he could somehow adjust his reiatsu to better cut a specific opponent after trial and error. But it seems it was just shaking off some dust, based on his own words.Originally Posted by Artris
would be really cool if zaraki atleast unleashed his zanpaktou, but in the bleach universe this would never happen, its not neccessary...kenpachi is kenpachi.. =]
good ep, really looking forward to next ep..too bad i read about this 2handed bs if its true that is...over and out eh!
Douchebox
I'm hoping for Shikai. Bankai would be cool, but it'd be too big a jump and i don't think it'd fit Kenpachi's style very well. He was simply destroying Noitra before, so an upgrade to Shikai should be plenty enough to deal with him now.
Btw, did anyone else laugh their ass off at Ken and Yachiru talking about cutting Noitra's arms off? Lol best part of the whole episode IMO.
Yea, I laughed at that part too. Nice comedy relief during that intense action.
I can't see a way for Zaraki to fight evenly with Nnoita without, like Archangel said, breaking the laws of power in Bleach, since that eye-patch is off and he's still struggling against the six-armed opponent.

crazy awesome ep!
And Zarakis sword getting sharper the more powerful the opponent is seems like a good idea, it would fit his style great imo, also at the preview of the next episode they show him standing holding his sword horizontally and it does indeed look like its "sharper" than before, or atleast the edge of the sword is more 'shiny' implicating its sharper.
Or i could just be over analyzing stuff and it was just something he said, meh :P
You can say a sword is sharper when you fare better in a fight, that is, manage to cut when you previously couldn't. It doesn't need to mean the blade's edge actually became sharper physically.
great episode as expected but for the 1st time we see Inoue not passive when she tried to protect Yachiru although we all know that if Noitra attacked,her sheild would be shattered easily but that was great to see Inoue useful in battles and not afraid and slow acting as always
It was also quite funny that Inoue thought Yachiru would need protection. I'm sure Nnoitra would have needed a few moments to beat her (or even catch her), although we have never seen Yachiru fight. But she is an old liuetenant (despite being loli), so she should have serious skills.
I'm still waiting for the inevitable "Yachiru is a freakin badass!" reveal.
His sword is already in Shikai, isn't it? I thought it was like Ichigo's.
That was great lol. "Ok, I'll leave him with one." Noitra looked about ready to chew nails.
If it is, then what is its special power? Ichigo can shoot that energy charge, but I can't recall Kenpachi showing any fancy powers. Slicing those buildings back then was probably nothing but emitting insane reiatsu in general.
The scene where Kenpachi talks about it was not exactly clear. He said his sword was like Ichigo's, always in Shikai since he couldn't lower his reiatsu enough to reseal it. This makes sense given the explanation about Ichigo not being able to seal his sword and Kenpachi's obviously insane reiatsu but you have to wonder if the user never discovered the name of their sword would enough power just break it free anyways?
Until we see something more about his sword it is going to be hard to say one way or the other.
I suppose that could be true, but as Kraco said the other characters Shikai come with some kind of special ability and as far as we've seen or been told Kenpachi's has none. Also even Ichigo's Zanpaktou didn't go permanent shikai until her learned it's name. The show has never really told us one way or another though. I don't believe Kenpachi said their zanpaktou's were the same, but rather that he and Ichigo were the same in terms of being unable to suppress their riatsu
Seriously, i really want to see her going all out.
For that you'ld need Zaraki to die, because he loves his little Fuku Taicho so much.
And killing Zaraki is like dividing by zero or spitting on Chuck Norris.
Not Gonna Happen
I wonder how much sense that actually makes. Zaraki loves fighting above all else, and has shown he also thinks others should love as well. He picked up Yachiru because she was smiling while covered in blood (of people Zaraki had just slain). So, it would more or less make sense he would also allow Yachiru to fight, in my opinion. Unless for him Yachiru is like some external last innocent part of his own shelf, that is, he can be a ruthless killer as long as Yachiru lives happily. But honestly Kenpachi never looked like anything that complicated.
