now we know what team Aizen pitches for. assuming what he did to hinamori wasn't enough of a clue.
for being the #1 espada, stark sure didn't put up much of a fight... Barragan seems a lot stronger.
Why is pre-Arrancar Stark so human like? His inferiority complex is really lame. Apparently being super strong is a hinder to him.
Really liked this episode. Stark is just plain cool. I hope he's not really dead since they didn't show him dissolving like they have with all the other Arrancar.
Was the children's games thing his Bankai? I didn't actually hear him say it, so maybe it isn't?Not sure what you're talking about. He took on two Captains and two Vizards and beat 3 of them. Barrigan took on one Captain and one Vizard and didn't defeat either of them.
Because his mask is just a jawbone around his neck. Which is hidden under his Hollow cloak in that scene. Although it technically shouldn't be, since their pre-Arrancar form should look like their released form.
I'd say being so strong that just your power aura kills everyone you try and get close to is a pretty big fucking hindrance.
Well, maybe, in his released form he combines back into one being, in the other scene he was split, so that might be closer to what he looked like before he split himself in half.
In every instance that a wolf blew up there was an enormous explosion, at least as far as I recall. The second time they got bit it zooms WAY out to show a monumental explosion then they fly out of the side of it with what looks like dust trailing them, it seems like that is what you're talking about but I think you just lost perspective on the situation. I'm mostly sure that is the details of it though, I'd have to watch the episode again to be sure.Originally Posted by UChessmaster

I just don't see them as being meh at all. Yeah, they're losing, but their all fighting 3+Captains/Vizards at once.
Vasto Lordes are supposed to be Captain strength, so even with the Arrancar powerup I wouldn't have expected them to fight off so many and still win.
I mean, the fact that Aizen expected these 3 to fight half the Captains and all the Vizard at once is kinda ridiculous. Especially if him and his two lackeys are just going to stand by and watch....
Which reminds me, wtf is Yamamoto doing? Now that his fire is gone, shouldn't he be...I dunno, doing something else?
Ahh, that makes sense. When he was still one Hollow, he probably had both Lilinette's helm and eyepiece as well as his own jawbone.
One thing I noticed about this episode and the previous ones was about Rose and Love's mask. How can we see Love's eyes through his mask if he's wearing shades inside? Also how come Rose's eyes are just normal when it's fractured unlike Ichigo's with eye/black pupils?
quick edit: Nvm, still the same color.
Soifon was defeated, the two vaizards and captain that stark "defeated" were in the same position, actually less so because they didnt have to cut off their arm. The only reason Barragan lost was because, as animus mentioned, he was basically tailored to beat him. The two vaizards who lost to stark would also have lost to Barragan, and considering Shunsui's close-quarters combat style of fighting, he would have probably lost as well unless he went bankai, still with no guarantee of winning. I can't imagine how anyone other than super-hollow ichigo, the captain commander, the magic-using vaizard, or aizen could have beaten him.
I don't remember Stark defeating any Shinigami Captain. All I saw was Stark with the upperhand againts 2 Vizards, Barragan pwning a captain, and a Bankailess Shunsui pissing off Azien so bad he called his Arrancar "trash" and dispose one of them.
[x] Shunsui > all Arrancars.
I was gonna say Stark beat the White haired captain, but then I remembered it was actually Wonderweiss that put him down.
Whats this now... i'm actually looking forward to the next episodes..
Feels weird :P

Too bad neither of those Captains even needed to Bankai.
The Vaizard who beat Barrigan is pretty much tailor-made to beat him.
No it was definitely his Shikai the whole children's games thing. Surprised more people aren't disappointed I mean the #1 espada got beaten by a captains shikai. No one's disappointed about this after all the hype and build up about them? God even Aizen thinks they're worthless considering how quickly he grew tired of Halibel.
