It's hard to say very good things about this ep, I think. The pacing feels very slow and the fights thusfar are not exciting at all.

Something tells me the Vizard are taking things easy at the moment. I don't buy the whole 'we can only keep the mask on for 3 minutes' bull..

It's the writing that is a bit off in this fight, IMO. The fact that they use the masks on the Gillian is weird, considering the fact that they can fight pretty equally with released Espada without the masks. They should tear the Gillian apart w/o the mask on and then 1shot the Espada with the masks on.

The only positive thing about this ep was Hachi's fight. It was stretched out, but all in all he ended it quickly. He tried something, it failed, he set up another move and went in for the kill. Let's hope Barragan is dead now, because that fight is getting old (pun intended).
