like totally...


Kenpachi will be the 'hero' of the arc and the strongest one if he shows up...


But, as we have seen, renji can use shikai, maybe bankai, so probably Kenpachi will appear at the end when everybody will have there zampaktous back lol)

Not much development this episode, but there were some pretty nice fights and Ichigo protecting Hichigo and forcing Muramasa out of his "soul" was awesome.

Can't wait to see more.

Awsome episode, really liked the fights and how Hichigo and Ichigo forced out Muramasa. Don't really get it how Renji managed to call out Zabimaru though, I guess we'll just see how that plays out.

This filler arc is actually pretty gd. But the bad thing about it is that it is completely irrelevant to the main story. At least try to relate to it!! They need to make fillers like the ones hitman reborn has, the fillers are relevant to the main story.

But next episode might be cool, its called new getsuga tenshou. mite be a new move ichigo is getting ^^

kenpachi is the arc killer. having him in this filler arc would ruin it completely. he's a captain class fighter without a bankai and a mere forced shikai without knowing its ability.

if they bring him in its at the end, otherwise there's no point to the plot, he'd mop the floor with everyone

He doesn't even have a Shikai!!! Or does he? And damn straight he'll mop the floor with everyone.

Really average episode... the only thing good was the end and the quincy enciclopedia.

Junkyarddog said:
I just formulated a theory. This is totally a test from the captain commander to see if they all remember why they want to fight. Holding him captured my ass. Also lol, Eternal1Paladin is totally right. This arc needs more Kenpachi. I would laugh if muramasa is Kenpachi's zanpakuto. It would have a reason to hate shinigami, cuz it never gets used.

I hope that doesn't happend that would suck big time, i believe he already did something similar in a previous filler... And about muramasa he said that he killed his shinigami.

Sayuri-Hime said:
Loved how Ichigo and Hichigo teamed up on Muramasa!

They didn't team up, ichigo just help him a kicked muramasa out of his soul.

Ichigo is a really bad fighter, he doesn't know how to wield his sword... now hichigo that's a real fighter, he's the best.

I hpoe they get back to the hueco mundo arc, i can't stand this filler anymore.

I have to agree with Danchou in every single aspect.
First, i also don't like the theory of this being a plan of the captain commander (but that doesn't matter), second they didn't teamed up and third, YES ICHIGO SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so weak... i can't believe it, he just wins every fight with a sudden surge of power. BAHHHHH

I am loving this arc. Don't know why some people are complaining about lack of character development; it's filler and is not supposed to have character development. I normally mega loathe Bleach fillers, but these have been great; I at least like them better than the whole Bound arc, which was not filler.

Hollow Ichigo is hilarious, I knew right of the bat when Muramasa thought he froze him that Hichigo was just screwing with him.


I don' know how many fillers we have to go before the original story gets back on track, but if they're all this good then I can wait. I even liked the back story fillers before this arc; it wasn't anything stupid with the Don or Kon or some other random character comedy sketch.

2/5. We are back to simply fighting and Renji acting like a moron. Hell, even his Zapakuto is acting like a moron.

I liked this little fillerarc until this episode.

First the Bounto arc IS a filler and second you're comparing this arc with the worst arc in the whole bleach series. Of course this arc, comparing to the Bounto's one looks a lot better!!!

What do you guys like about this episode? Nothing interesting happened at all except the little hollow fight scene. And to make it worse they still use the same old bleach logic: "So there is soeone whos stronger than me? Oh well, I'll just get stronger and win."

the episode title and the episode itself not relate one another but it was a great episode, conversations were good and fighting pace of Hichigo is awesome... Ichigo helping Hichigo and the scene Renji and Ichigo together was good also... I wanted to see something more about Hisagi but well I guess we have to wait... I hope he is not seriously injured, because it really seems like Kazeshini is most dangerous zanpakutou to me sometimes...

also I don't really get how Renji suceed to call out Zabimaru...

Nah, that ain't shonen logic. Other shonens mostly justify it with training or other reasons but with bleach it always happens while fighting just because...

Yea I don't think it's interesting cause the resolution will prolly be poor and I actually wanted the shinigamis to fight like that and not get their zanpakutous back miraculously and just win like they always do.

What Im thinking is that once the Shinigami remember their reason for fighting, they can then call out their zanpakuto. It seems like most people have forgotten why they fight in the first place, and rather use the strength of the zanpakuto instead of their own strength and resolve. If you noticed, Zabumaru said that all they want is to grow stronger and dont want anything to do with a weakling like Renji. When he reamembers his own reason for fighting (which happens to be in line with his zanpakuto's wishes i.e. they both want to become stronger) he is then able to call out Zabimaru. Thoughts?

This makes perfect sense. I suppose it's teaching a lesson to all the shinigami because they've become dependent on the Zanpakutou. It's a perfect way to make them remember their own strength.

Lol, if all shonen shows worked like that...I can think up some pretty interesting situations that would occur.

I liked this episode, but then again, I like all fillers, since I find it boring to watch an anime simply replaying what I already found out from the manga.

So it looks like Muramasa is creating a copy of the Zanpakuto and encasing it in something like a gigai to me while the real one resides inside the shinigami.

this is gonna be good ^_^

Good episode 4/5 for me. There was sometimes a bit too much talking, but nevertheless the action was good, especially with Shirosaki and Muramusa, that fight was well done. Renji, as many of you may realise, is a close protagonist, he is very close to Ichigo, and they as they showed in the last bit have more or less the same resolve/purpose. So i suppose it makes since that he is the first to call out his Zanpukto.

I am hoping it gets explained as to why he was able to perform Shikai. Hisagi is hopefully going to appear more in the next episode!

Awesome episode. I like how they ended it epically too. H.Ichigo gets more fighting time <3 He was bouncing around like a spider monkey there.

I have a feeling the beast part of Zabimaru is gonna crack under some serious pressure sometime soon. It seems more in tune with how Renji's doing things than the snake part. All snakey seems to want to do is beat the tar out of Renji e_e

Lawl @ the Picture Book. Ichigo corrupted Ishida? xD

this reminds me of the soul society arc during the ichigo vs renji fight -__- a bit of recycling, but wow renji is the first one to rematerialize his shikai. and a bit nostalgic about the part where renji ---- rukia --- byakuya thingy heh.

so it boils down to the theory that muramasa's power is to create artificial clones of everyone's zanpakutou, with those clones absorbing their powers (or somehow making their powers dormant). hmmmm can't wait for next ep!

Overall, not a bad episode. I would have liked more action and a little less talking, but it was worth it to see Renji bring out his shikai at the end. He looked like he knew it was going to work this time too.

Looks like Kira will be in the next episode. I'm happy about that, he's one of my favorite characters. We haven't seen his Zanpaktou yet, have we? That could be interesting. Just try dragging yourself back home after a fight with Wabisuke!
