Yeah, overall the episode wasn't that bad (for a filler), but they sure are milking the story for all it's worth. Was it just me, or was the animation especially of poor quality in this episode? In the fight between the three, I felt like Ichigo was drawn very bad especially his face. Hope the introduction of Ran Tao will bring this filler-arc to a conclusion soon.
Shinigami Cup Golden was classic this week. Had me laughing pretty hard. Glad to see them go back to a more twisted humor approach.
@.noname.silent: LOL, i was thinking something similar about Ran Tao and the aging process, dattebayo.
@Darth:Nice catch. So, have we only seen 2 OP characters or have I miscounted?Another character I didn't recognize during the OP.
Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

It's a different picture every week. But it's usually old characters doing things like standing around. But twice that I've seen it wasn't a character I recognized.
I really don't think this arc is anywhere near over yet.
I mean, there's the thing the Bounto are gathering up the gangs for. Which is, who knows what. Ran Tao just got introduced. There's the rogue shinagami that you KNOW is gonna fight Kenpachi.
I expect the other 3 bounto to end up having 1 on 1 fights with various captains. Shinagami vs. Kenpachi. Then headphones and Kirayia probably fighting Ichigo and Ishida in some fasion.
And honestly, I don't think Ran Tao is a goodguy. It almost feel like, whatever the Bounto are doing is according to some plan of hers, even though they don't realize it. I get the feeling she's gonna end up being the final villain of this arc.
Hmm... That's an interesting theory about Ran Tao. I hope you are right! That would be a nice twist. Certainly she would have a reason to rebel against the shinigami who kicked her out as a scapegoat.
But the traitor shinigami against Zaraki? Come on. Kenpachi would beat that whelp in three seconds with his eye patch still on. Kenpachi against Headphones would be better.
Well, which fights would be best to watch is not really the issue. The fact is, that guy consideres Kenpachi as something of an archnemesis. To put him against anyone else wouldn't make much sense storywise. I mean, why introduce all that backstory between the two only to have him go fight hitsugaya or something.Originally Posted by Kraco
Besides, we don't even know how strong that guy is. The only fight he was actually in he won in like 10 seconds. And he's probably got a bankai too.
If you guys watch the title song, it shows Captain Hitsugaya fighting the old man's doll, Renji fighting headphones' doll, and then Urahara and Yoruichi deflecting headphones' doll's attack. Not sure how accurate this will be, but the title songs usually show future events.
I still think Ichinose (disgraced Shinigami) will fight Kenpachi, for the same reasons DarthEnder pointed out.
Pretty good episode, but like others have said, it seems they are drawing this arc out as long as possible. I prefer it to the 3-episode pointless arcs that plagued Naruto, but they could move the story along a little faster. The fight combinations alone could add a good number of interesting episodes (Ishida vs Kariya, Kenpachi vs Ichinose, Ganju and the Bulls vs the Rukongai uprising, Renji vs Headphones, Hitsugaya vs old man, Matsumoto vs chick with the talking sword and fan, Ichigo vs someone, etc.) No need to water it down so far that it gets pointless.
The animation was subpar, but watchable. Dialogue was hackneyed in places. Still lots of questions, too few answers.
Ah, yes, I'm not denying the probability of the renegade shinigami vs Kenpachi fight. Seeing how much that dude hates Kenpachi, it's probably the most likely fight of them all. But based on his fight back at the mansion so many episode ago, I don't just see how he could have any chances agaisnt good old Zaraki. Of course he could still hide some trump cards, even bankai, but so far it has been somewhat unimpressive. The headphones, however, has fought pretty hard.
Well, I'm sure they have thought hard who to put against who, so good enough fights should be waiting in the future.
The uprising is going to be useless, unless it is used as a distraction. The shinigami will just chop down the rebelling peasents.
Introducing Ran'Tao will just promote this arc to become longer.
On a side note, it seems like Ishida likes his older women....
