Excellent stuff, i only wish this wasnt filler so it had some impact on the "real" Bleach -.-

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is only "sorta" filler. Kubo did all the character designs for the zanpaktou in this arc, and he's gone on record saying that this was a specific story that he wanted to do, he just doesn't have time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo himself at least wrote an outline for what happens in this arc.


Of course, if this arc wanted to be really awesome and non-filler, Ichigo would lose Zangetsu, and then Hollow Ichigo would become an Arrancar make another zanpaktou out of part of his mask.


Then at the end, Ichigo would either have two Zanpaktou, or they'd both merge together into one super zanpaktou!!

Wait a damn minute. Did Rukia just show Kaien Sode no Shirayuki!? That just means that if she possessed it before Kaien turned evil and before meeting with Ichi--nevermind, this filler isn't canon material.

I don't know if her having it since Kaien is new, but her having her Shikai since before she met Ichigo is definitely not filler. Yes, the fact that the Hollow in the first episode beat her is a huge plot hole, but nevertheless, she's had her shikai for the entire series.
