Pretty good episode, but son of a bitch ichigo is an idiot. Why the hell would you heal an Espada, i mean he's basically just a really strong hollow. I could understand when he helped Ikkaku because the shinigami weren't really bad guys. He just didn't agree with their rules and went to save the person who saved him. I really hope this arc isn't just "regurgitate SS arc story with new characters". It would be pretty weak if every fight was just a mirror of fights we've already seen.
