nice begining for a filler arc but i realy don't know where this arc fits in time does it happen between huco mondo arc and bounto arc or during huco mondo arc OR may be it's an arc which is like a long OVA (i'm with this more).
but it was nice to see more of the 13 squad captains coz we want to know more about them and their vice-captains
Well i enjoyed this first episode but i'm confused about a couple of things:
- Just when does this happen? I originally thought it took place in soul society while the main cast fought in las nueches but it looks like it takes place somewhere between the bount arc and the arrancar arc since chad's arm is still in its second stage and ichigo doesn't seem to be able to use his mask just yet
- Does the captian have 2 zampaktous? Is that thing he used even a zampaktou? It looks weird and i didn't really get why he cleaned it with the napkins after using it...
- Is it me or does the third seat guy look like Szayel Apollo?
- If they could send the train looking thing to kill the menos why did they send the third squad instead? Or does that thing pop out randomly?
Well, if my time frame assumption is correct i hope we can see more of Hichigo and some inner fights to see who takes over ichigo's body.
Overall, i think i'm gonna enjoy this arc very much

This filler arc doesn't seem so bad at first glance.
Also... see it as an 'alternate story' that will never fit on the main story. The new captain will probably die or quit at the end.
They themselves said it 2 times already... they are taking a PAUSE between the hueco mundo arc.
See the bright side. You won't see the filler characters again after the arc ends (contrary to the Soul Mods of the Bounto Arc)
Did you guys not see the golden cup or whatever it's called at the end of the last episode?
They were pretty much admitting they were just sticking filler in the middle of the plot without any shame or implication on the story. They're blatantly just going to go right back as if this never happened.
And at this point it really is a matter of A) Screwing up the main storyline B) Putting the anime on hold for a year or C) Fillers.
Seeing as they can't put it on hold since it'll just get forgotten and replaced by the next (shonen is it?) anime, the fillers that don't screw up the story doesn't seem too bad. Although I'm not sure if I can be bothered watching it, I hate the filler characters that remained and I felt the bounto arc is a letdown compared to SS and HM ones.
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
The people complaining make it seem as if it would be more reasonable to have them all suddenly escape Hueco Mundo and do the arc then come back, what a joke. This was the best way to go into fillers given their position.
Ya, I agree with this. It was pretty silly how easily they went down. Such is fillers I suppose.Is it me or have menos just have been completely wussified in Bleach?
With an opening just for this arc we can be sure that we will be here for some time. I just hope it isn't like Naruto's filler break.
Not just fillers. The Menos have recently become dry cannon fodder in lack for other "strong" oppontents.

Well duh? If you recall just regular hollows were badass in the first episodes but they don't look very tough now do they? Menos were great to show ichigo's power when he still had his sword released but they're pretty useless now
I do get it if it is quite hard to acutally come up with a sub type of Hollow wich has to be less in strength than a Arrancar or some sort.
Wich makes me ask! This new filler villian, the...uuh..ninja. I guess that theres someone above him but we all know that ninjas are all cannnon fodder ^^!

We've all heard of atomic episodes before, this is looking to be an atomic arc.
Oh, let's see, if they can shut down the Cleaners... then they should be able to TURN IT ON and let it sweep up the menos like it was during the episode. But nah, let's risk getting a whole bunch of shimi's killed for nothing.
I swear this filler material is like street sharks shit.
First, there were like 50 shinigami and the menos were coming in separate groups so it was basically about 10 shinigami versus 1 menos, i'd say that still makes them pretty badass
Second, your guess is as good as mine i don't even remember when they started flying i guess it was just something they added for practical reasons
Third, the only reason they attacked the mask was because it was a clean and easy way to finish a hollow, yet going for a cero spitting head when your such a low level shinigami may prove to be a bad idea. However you may notice that the lieutenant does go for the mask since he has enough skill.
I hope this helped.
Erm.. wowOriginally Posted by The Archangel
There were 30 Menos, that is a little over one and a half shinigami to a menos if your claim of 50 is right (it makes more sense really to have much less than 50 in a squad) but they also said to split into groups of 4 so they would have 4 to each Menos (putting us at 120 shinigami) unless they were meaning like 4 menos would be attacked at a time.
The whole numbers game in this episode was off.
When they talked about Menos in the first bunch of episodes they said that a having a captain there to fight them was a good idea, now groups of 4 (some with all no-names) take them out almost with out a thought.
Right, but I always thought that the only way to kill a Hollow, period, was to split its mask. I always thought attacks to other parts of the body would weaken a Hollow, but only splitting the mask would kill it. *shrugs*
I do agree, though: a low-level shinigami going straight into a Cero would be a decidedly bad idea!
Actually when it comes to menos it's been said that they pose no problem to a lieutenant level shinigami so it's not so far fetched that 5 regular shinigami could take one of them out specially if those had ranked seats. And although there were 30 menos they came separately what gave the shinigami a good chance to take them out fairly easily.
U must be confusing it with what rukia said on a earlier episode, that when killing a hollow you should go for the mask since its an instant death if you cut through it .
Well according to the vaizards if it's not exact the process in which ichigo got his hollow powers is very similar to the one the rest of them went through to get theirs.
Ichigo and Ishida could not even damage the menos at all in the begining. Arrows and sword hits just kind of bounced off. When Ichigo finally unleashed that sword technique it finally backed off because it was slightly injured. Now these no names can apparently do more damage with one normal slash than Ichigo did when unleashing his sword. And btw, wasn't that first one a lot bigger too? Maybe it's just me, but have menos become smaller?
Wich basicly is quite fine. An enourmus plus is that, if I did get it right, they left out all the extremly annoying comic relief characters. And not just the current ones.
To keep this filler arc interesting they could add some minor, minor spoilers to the upcomming future, like cock teasers, just to keep this in line.
OR do some badass, nonses battles but that seems to be to far fetched..

Not really. The OP is proof enough.
