I'm curious as to what exactly makes you guys think this episode was all that much better then last week. Yeah there was a little more comedy but it was still fairly terrible and I still don't see any reason Ishada has ANY spiritual powers at this point. Even his ability to sense Spirit pressure should be gone as to me atleast it would be part of his quincy powers.

As far as the Animals in the ending go its pretty clear we have a Bunny, turtle and Chicken going. Considering the Bunny is the most popular type of temporary soul its pretty safe to say that the three in the ending represent the 3 villians were stuck with for now. I'm sorry but this episode was not that much of a improvement. MAYBE a 4/10 instead of the 2/10 we got last week.
