Hemmmm filler, i would say that it is not that bad of an episode. Even the greatest of men lose there will now and then. It is certainly expected from a fellow dumbass. Especially when you have no idea what you are fight for, what are your opponents intention and what are they really like. Unlike the Soul Society adventure, where Rukia; a valued friend and certainly more life's was indanger of being ended. There is no real purpose that connect Ichigo and the bounty. A man can certain get lost when he know not where he is going. Can't he?

I still have hope and some expectation from this filler act. I know those of you who read the manga will say that they are destroying the storyline and I am a fool for expecting something good to come from this, but whatever.

I see this filler arc as something to fill in the one year period when Aizen will be able to use the power. Also as something for Ichigo to gain more experience and more about shinigami powers. If he is gonna go up against Aizen he will need something more than just shikai, shunpo and raw power. You certainly have to admit that it is better that the Naruto fillers and alot more interesting.

Anyways I am intrigued but this filler act, I can't do anything about it, so why not enjoy it.
