Speculations for the next episode [170]

[Undying]

Well, it appears it was my mistake for locking such threads, so I'll open one now for your sake.

The purpose of this thread is for anime watchers to speculate what will happen in the next thread, who is stronger, who is who and so on.

The rules are simple. DO NOT POST ANY SPOIERS FROM THE ANIME AND MANGA!

I will nuke such posts immediatly and without mercy. If you are a manga reader who knows what will happen, you may use your right to remain silent. Hopefully you have the capacity, too.

Remember, keep this thread for speculation. The reason is twofold; I won't have to see a dozen different threads sticking out abour speculation and you can all speculate here and have fun.

[Dima]

I think Ichigo will fight the big one, cause he pointed his sword on him, yeah!
Action is getting started again. \o/

[gwcommander]

im curious to see what the Soul Society will do. They seem to be watching very closely. Ichigo from the previews looks like he will have a hard time. And i wonder when Ichigo will find out about his dad. I cant wait but i must :sad

[Dima]

I wonder why Isshin is keeping it secret to Ichigo. Maybe Isshins past will be shown later, where he gets into an-evrything-changing event.

[orange big heart]

when will the ep be aired? and when itll be subbed?
(I have forgotten about these stuff during my time away of this forum )
caaaant wait!!

every one can see that THE GORILLA arracancer although he is freeking strong, he is the stupid one so he might be the first one to fall
*maybe*

:rolleye09

[Mr.Blunt]

From watching the previews, I'm probably guessing that Ichigo cut off his arm with Getsuga Tenshou.. then what the other thing I'm speculating about is a repeat of the events that occured in the first episodes of Bleach where Ichigo fights Renji... while Byakuya idly watches.. and waits.. I'm gonna say that while Ichigo fights Yami.. and Ulquiorra watches.. he might do the same thing and do some super powerfully quick move to take down Ichigo just like Byakuya did in the earlier eps...

[tenebrusmke79]

I think that the revelation that Isshin would be a shinigami will happen by maybe episode 120 or 130.

[NorskeLink]

115 looks like a filler, with a lot of filler elements since a gang of Shinigamis came to the school..

[dragoneyes001]

speculation: the next few episodes will be very soap opera like just like this last one.

[Utaware3rd]

NorskeLink, the shinigami coming to earth is NOT filler, its very cannon. I wonder what Ririn and the other mod-souls are gonna do though, suprisingly enough I wouldn't mind seeing a entire episode of them. If only to keep the anime on track lol.

[Undying]

I'm dying to tell you what's wrong and what's not...

Ugh.

Anyway, just so there won't be any misconceptions, the Shinigami gang is canon.

[tenebrusmke79]

Yea.. they were shown in the manga doing that at the same time, weren't they? or am I being mixed up?

[tenebrusmke79]

Please do not post any sort of spoilers here, even in spoiler tags.

[gdo01]

-deleted-
Stop writing spoilers here, this thread is completely non spoiler even inside tags. Ugh.

[Undying]

*points at first post*

Please don't post spoilers here at all.

[kav2001c]

Is Yami considered one of the elite Arrancars? (Aizen mentioned there are 20)
The implication is how powerful he was, but he seemed pretty easy to beat... unless he hadnt powered up or something yet

I also wonder if Tousen and Gin will show up with masks (which would actually make them more Vaizard than Arrancar technically)

And what purpose do the Vaizards serve... will they turn on Ichi or help him in the end (Shinji said they wont go away and that psycho chick seemed to have no problems with killing Chad/Inoue)

[Pyramus]

What! NO! There are 20 Espada! that the great plot twist, the fact t6hat SSD has No Fricken time to prepare! Also, when Aizen 1st went up to Hueco Mundo, i thought he was gonna get a hollow mask! But i guess i was wrong! :p

[Undying]

Please refrain from posting any spoilers here in the future. Currently I simply deleted the post, but next time I will also warn.

[toshyomu]

i want to watch episode 116 now.thats all i know.

[FinalJudgment]

I believe the beginning of Season 5 has no action so far, I'm so looking foward to see some.

[theblack_dragon]

i agree the action to come is tempting but things should be better in the coming episodes cant wait for the to see rukia's shikia and the rest if the Arrancar

[Renji Abari1]

I wonder why Isshin is keeping it secret to Ichigo. Maybe Isshins past will be shown later, where he gets into an-evrything-changing event.

If Ichigo ever found that little tidbit about his farter, he would imidiatly blame him for not being their 2 save his mother from the Grand Fisher.

and most likely Ichigo would fight him 2 say...*ill never forgive you. die* just my opinion..

[sniperz]

there will be more fights by the looks of the arrancar with aizen.. i predict big battles! wait~ for it~~!

[The_Mask]

I think Ichigo will agree to join Vaizards so he can learn how to control his Hollow power.

[ToT]

I think that the battles are only going to really start ep 117, ep 116 might have a small fight with ichigo probably killing some arrancar, and soul society in panic.
Seems as if everyone's forgetting the vaizards since the arrancar have arrived ^^

[TousenKonameX]

Wel ichigo did promise to get stronger but i dont see how? Where he is living now is just ful of low level hollows that he cant train on. PLus ther are 20 vaizards i think so id like to see how they deal with dat.

[gdo01]

Wel ichigo did promise to get stronger but i dont see how? Where he is living now is just ful of low level hollows that he cant train on. PLus ther are 20 vaizards i think so id like to see how they deal with dat.
Correction 20 arrancar.

[Pyro01]

Having watched all of the anime first before reading up to the same point in the manga, It's so hard to resist reading on ahead before the anime has reached the same point. I've made the decision to follow the anime primarily, and after the episode has been released, to read the manga up to that point, but then I gotta stop again and wait another week. Argh!

[sniperz]

wat i know is they are gonna fight the 5 guys with grimjoow :)

and showing news skills is wat i predict.

[Geosuke]

finally, some hard ass battles involving arrancar. i longed for new non-filler battles since the end of the SS story arc. can't wait.

[sniperz]

guess wat o.O i notice that the post above that says " isshin blamed for not saving ichigo's mom becoz the dad was maybe sleeping or? bla bla big issues" so yes it might make ichigo become even more powerful and may surpass his dad's shinigami form even more.
i bet that might happen in future when he knows it

[theblack_dragon]

but i think ichigo is already way ahead of his father already hell he is way ahead of alot captians in the divisions

[AmnesiaI]

We don't know that ichigo is above his father! We've seen an entire collection of ichi and like 1-2 episodes of his father fight....you never know what his powers could be.

But, I think some on the 'good' side will die. The arra are just too strong for a lot of their targets, unless the varizard interfer somehow it will be a slaughter house

[Despair]

but i think ichigo is already way ahead of his father already hell he is way ahead of alot captians in the divisions

only in terms of brute strength [maybe]
We haven't seen much of Isshin

And Ichigo is a dumb 15 year old student, I don't think he could against all captains :-/

[dragoneyes001]

there are about 6 people who can hold their own the little girl in the shop although shy can pack a punch, Urahara, Ichigo,Yoruichi, the three at Orihime's place will fend ok, ichigo's dad, the lieutenants as a pair should be able to fend off one attacker its characters who are alone who will either need to run or they will get helped by the unexpected.

[T_Ichigo]

My first guess is that the arrancars will probably harm some of Ichigo's worthless friends BWhHAhAHa !! the second guess is that at least one arrancar will probably somehow DIE ! and my last guess is Hitsugaya will be forced to use his asskicking bankai ! bwahahh !

[iMatt]

I'm guessing about the whole Vaster Lord dealy, those with jaw mantles, ie GrimmJow, Yami etc. are of the Abduchablahblah (can't remember exact spelling), those with helmets, ie Ulquiorra, are Vaster Lords. Can't wait for:
Vaizard vs. Arrancar
Vaizard vs. Shini.
Shini. vs Arrancar

You get the picture, either those or Ichigo getting in tune with his hollow, and then he can look all badass with his mask again, who knows, besides those who actually do know!

[Pyramus]

hmm... Im gonna go ahead and guess that matsumoto dosnt have time to put on her clothes, so she has to fight the Annaracar naked!

[sniperz]

and every arrancar bleeds, and matsumoto go use haineko =( 1 v 10 captains ;DP

[theblack_dragon]

only in terms of brute strength [maybe]
We haven't seen much of Isshin
And Ichigo is a dumb 15 year old student, I don't think he could against all captains :-/

please if age mattered then he would not have stood i chance in the SS so not cause he is young doesnt mean he cant win battles after all he did defeat one the most powerful captains u know

Anyway i see things are heating up and cant wait to to se ikkaku's Bakai next episode should be interesting hope the Vaizards are as powerful in the anime as they show in the manga(Ichigo vs Grimmjow round one hahahahahahahaha)

VAIZARD ICHIGO LV.2

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/382/vaizard8rt.jpg

[pero_renji!]

We all know Asano-san will go bankai and single handedly own grimmjow. Maybe Ikkaku bankai in 118? :D

[TousenKonameX]

I would love to see ikkaku go bankai but i thinnk he wont last. I dont see how he would be strong enough to defeat the Arran. But the battle i wanna see most is the one with Renji and his Arran.

[sniperz]

i think next step is him showing bankai.. from infos given.
i think his bankai has the standard of hitsugaya, so not bad

[Hitsugaya2080]

I know, whoever Hitsugaya fights.. will loosse!! And.. really.. thats what matters most ;D.. Although, I have a feeling at the end Ichigo will apologize to Chad for making him be all sad for not being able to help protect Ichigo.. XD

[doobiesnacks]

I'm gonna say that while Ichigo fights Yami.. and Ulquiorra watches.. he might do the same thing and do some super powerfully quick move to take down Ichigo just like Byakuya did in the earlier eps...


That is a good prediction. Ichigo's character weaknesses are really starting to harm him more than doing him any good. A total twist around. It is actually starting to bug me a bit, although he will hopefully gather himself once more.

I doubt Ikkaku shows us a bankai, but man it would be crazy. Isnt that supposed to be reserved for captains?

speculation: the next few episodes will be very soap opera like just like this last one.

its really disturbing!

mateff

[A2k]

I'll be watching this thread with a keen eye.

Be sure to keep this thread spoiler free, those of you who do know what will happen.

Speculations are fine providing they are indeed speculations.

[sniperz]

we might see scenes of kenpachi and ikkaku's past from the previews.

and some sword fencing between renji and ikkaku. so on XD~

[Undying]

That's why I didn't want to open such a thread... spoiler galore!

Bah. Yeah, like A2k said, keep the thread spoiler free.,

[theblack_dragon]

could anyone tell me why there is not going to be an episode next week is like a vaction in japan or something

[T_Ichigo]

are you sure that there won't be any ?
anyways my specultions or ... predictions are that Ikkaku will send Edorado to hell. Ichigo will probably start the fight with Grimmjow, and we'll see a little part of Renji's fight with elforte and so on.
Ikkaku will show that pure strength is not to joke with ! hehehehe

[Zephyr]

Like always, I can't wait for this episode. argh!

[TousenKonameX]

I agree exactly with T_Ichigos also that Ikakkus fight will end early 118 i think and they should show more of Hitsugaya and big tittys (thats her name for me) for next episode i dont see Ikkaku winning for some reason but im most likely wrong

[Death Dream]

I don't expect to see much of ichigo's fight in ep 119 because from the previews we just get more of a back story of what happened with Ikkaku. Chances are we will see someone else's fight for the last 7mins of the show to give us that cliff hanger effect.

~Death Dream~

[h0f5]

Im pretty happy that the next episode is a flashback. not that i particularly like the flashback, but from my experience in watching anime, if you want a damn good animation from a episode, you have to expect that the previous one has horrible animation. Hopefully they will spend their budget not on the next episode ( give it horrible animation for all i care ) and put the money on the actual fights.

[theblack_dragon]

people did u not hear that there is no bleach next week i nobody here cab answer me why :(
first BSG messing with me now bleach is skipping a week i hate march
and yea i think that the fight with ikkaku will end quick but there will be a flash back with him and ***** about him ******* like they said no spoiler so i will follow the rules but i think that the focus next episode whenever it comes out will be on Hitsugaya and his vice captains fight my poor rukia always getting hurt (i think undying is right she is weak) lol

[Death Dream]

My friend just told me that the people that make naurto now own bleach as well. So now they rotate shows. One week naurto and the next is bleach.

I duno is this is true but this is what he told me.

~Death Dream~

[Shinji]

Both Bleach and Naruto are produced by Studio Pierrot, if that's what you mean. Both shows are shown every week.

[theblack_dragon]

o ok cause thats what i know i guess there just keeping on our toes that all so we keep interested in the arc

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/382/vaizard8rt.jpg

[Christopher11]

In my opinion, I think Ikkaku is going to obliterate Edorad Volcano boy with his Dragon Release or an Uber hard Smash...

[Aerias]

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious Ikkaku is going to completely annihilate that arrancar hes facing next episode, but I'm wondering what happens when he releases that dragon thing on his bankai

[Death Dream]

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious Ikkaku is going to completely annihilate that arrancar hes facing next episode, but I'm wondering what happens when he releases that dragon thing on his bankai

So am I. To bad we don't get a ep this week so we have to wait just to see it! :sad

~Death Dream~

[T_Ichigo]

yeah I completely agree, this sucks .. but ´what im still wondering .. why did they decide to have a break ? we're not having holiday are we ?
well well, my speculations ... or predictions. Volcanica will SURE get owned by ryumoon houzukimaru ! ahaha and Grimmjow will probably start the fight against Kurosaki Ichigo ! Hurray for that ´, but what Im still wondering .. rukia was badly injured, will she lost a big amount of her power like she did last time or ? hmmmm all in all, Volcanica will sure get owned

[Death Dream]

I think they will save Ichigo's fight for last. They might show a couple minutes here and there in a couple eps to keep people hooked. But for the most part I expect them to be showing other fights. Renji might be next to fight the blond guy ... then you see Ichgo for 5mins and back to Renji.

~Death Dream~

[doobiesnacks]

Renji might be the one of the bunch who gets his ass kicked. He just never did seem to be the strong one. We have already seen his bankai and really Arancar killing style it is not. He just never seemed to strong to me in the first place. I remember his sword was SO cool when it first appeared, but then it just seemed to get weaker and weaker as the story progressed. We'll see.

I agree they will leave Ichigos fight for last. Unless for some reasone everyone is interrupted and goes back to their respeckted corners.

mateff

[dragoneyes001]

Ichigo will fall apart AGAIN and get beaten around for a while till another intervenes it'll drag out over a few episodes at which point he'll reveal some new thing or his inner strength will prevail then he'll beat grim.

[h0f5]

Is it really possible for grimm to be beaten? You might be forgetting something, but it seems that grimm is on a level high enough to talk back at ulquiorra, who himself seems to be very strong. Can ichigo really defeat him while supressing his hollow?

[Christopher11]

Ruukia said that GrimJow's reatsu level was worlds apart from the other Arrancars.

I hope Ichigo Kicks His Ass.

I also hope someone takes Ruukia to a safer location, because she is injured and will only get in the way of the fight.

[timbo3185]

i reckon ogichi comes out and kicks ass! obviously ichigo isn't stong enough to cope with that riatsu so he's gona get belted around pretty hardcore this next ep...pretty much die and then fall to ogichi...my theory:P

[NaitDogg]

Ichigo not gonna die hes main character they won't kill him off for a while

[Mr.Blunt]

Renji might be the one of the bunch who gets his ass kicked. He just never did seem to be the strong one. We have already seen his bankai and really Arancar killing style it is not.

mateff

Well you can't really count the Bankai on the filler episodes, but if we follow the manga all the way to the current Anime ep, he's only used it once, and he wasn't used to using his Bankai yet, maybe now he can reveal his skill in handling his bankai..

[h0f5]

I think he would have practised his bankai a bit while in SS, so he wont be as clumsy as when he was in soul society against byakuya. Seeing how brutally strong Edorado was though, i dont think the protagonists are going to get a easy battle,.

[doobiesnacks]

Everytime he has gotten in a bout he has gotten torn up almost till death! He looks cool and all, but I just dont see him beatin blondie. Perhaps Green Hat will come to his rescue.

mateff

[higgamo]

i hope 119 not all flashback

[Pyramus]

I keep on hearing stuff about breaks for bleach and stuff! Is there not gonna be an episode nxt week?

[h0f5]

nope, or rather this week theres no bleach. Its just a one week break, anyway :) But hell, over the next few weeks quite a few animes are going to end, so im not that bothered about bleach having a break, especially since i know whats gonna happen :)

[Death Dream]

Lets hope for an hour long ep next week =D

~Death Dream~

[Pyramus]

WAIT! How come bleach is havin a break? Is it Tite kubos bday or sumin, mabye!

[Undying]

Actually Tite isn't having a break.. I believe there will be manga this week. The anime studio probably delays the anims because it will allow the manga to progress and hence they won't have to do more fillers.

[Pyramus]

Well godd for them! I hated the fillers!!!!! Oh well, ill just have to mastubate this week to fill up the time! lol!

[Undying]

Spam...

This thread is becoming more and more spammy as time passes, lacking any true insightful speculations for the next episode or future developments in Bleach. Either keep this on topic or this is gone.

[bex000]

Guys, if you see the preview for next week, you can definitely tell there is no fight and its all going to be a flash back of sorts.

i think it will show us what of ikaku and renji as zaraki is about to claim captain status. And how renji and ikaku are claiming the vice captain status.

[theblack_dragon]

Actually Tite isn't having a break.. I believe there will be manga this week. The anime studio probably delays the anims because it will allow the manga to progress and hence they won't have to do more fillers.

could you point me to the manga where ikkaku shows his bakai please

[Undying]

could you point me to the manga where ikkaku shows his bakai please
Right you are...

http://www.bleachexile.com/bleach-online/categories.php?cat_id=244

These two are the scenes where he releases his bankai and pwns the arrancar... warning, spoilers...

[Christopher11]

Oh my, now the speculation has become a flashback.

Much turmoil must be going through the minds of countless fans everywhere because of that.

[theblack_dragon]

nah trust me the manga only had alot a blood but one thing i must say the dialouge is way better in the manga

[yushin]

i am thinking that maybe japan had a holyday week last wednesday thats why bleach 119 was not air'ed.. probably..

[theblack_dragon]

Lets hope for an hour long ep next week =D
~Death Dream~


nah o doubt that due to fact that they didnt announce it in episode 119 but i wonder if there going to have one inm this arc cause there are some episodes coming up if they continue to follow the manga that ichigo may take up at least two of them so i believe more fillers are to come

[timbo3185]

it is an hour ep...if u watch the end 2 mins of the ep with the preview they say it's an hour....that or 2 episodes joined together

EDIT: my bad...i was thinking of Naruto :P

[TallDarkRandom]

it is an hour ep...if u watch the end 2 mins of the ep with the preview they say it's an hour....that or 2 episodes joined together
EDIT: my bad...i was thinking of Naruto :P

ah got me all excited then an hour of naruto an bleached would of owned, i wonder how the fights goner end, i mean his bankai is already breaking, i think he'll push it to the point were it breaks but he beats him at the same time Hmmmmm would be a cool ending to such a good fight

[Ibataké]

Yeah looking foreward to 120!! Hitsugaya fighting again!

[theblack_dragon]

yep that fight could be intresting but i wonder if there going to concentrate each episode on one fight cause that would really suck

[ZuluEdison]

ah got me all excited then an hour of naruto an bleached would of owned, i wonder how the fights goner end, i mean his bankai is already breaking, i think he'll push it to the point were it breaks but he beats him at the same time Hmmmmm would be a cool ending to such a good fight


i don't understand your post.

his bankai was breaking, but that's not unlike renji's which has broken before and he couldnt use it and was hurt because of it kind of.

the first is over though, ikkaku won, right?

[doobiesnacks]

Ikkaku took off dudes right arm and half of his right chest.. they was GONE..

either his friends notice him dead in the upcoming episode(s) OR he survives all odds and lives, like so many already have in the past.. he needs to be gone in my opinion.

mateff

[Delaguardia]

Man I can't wait for episode 120. Grimmjow Rules!!! I can't wait for that fight. Grimmjow VS Rukia and Ichigo. I can't wait this is so exciting.

[timbo3185]

Rukia was out put out of comission by GJ... i was hopeing that 119 was gunna be the fight but they used a filler :(...still it wasn't a crap filler
i dont think ichigo will be able to handle it...i reckon ogichi will overpower him to defeat him or some of the other guys will come take GJ out...or GJ pussies out and goes back:P

[MezzoDragon]

Tomorrow is going to be great. We get to see Captain Hitsugaya fight. It is a shame he is one of the weakest captains. Anyway, the Shinigami Golden Cup could be interesting. Kon in Hanatarou is going to be odd. He is so going to get beaten up; both for being a pervert an taking control of a Squad 4 Shinigami. They have it rough.

[A2k]

There's nothing like picking your words carefully. ~_~

He is probably the most fan followed Captain, and as such a comment like that could easilly be base for arguments lashing about all over the place. So lets just say that in your opinion he's one of the weakest Captains.

Since I don't really want to deal with half of the Hitsugaya FC jumping into this thread to cause riots and arguments over where his power lies in respects to other Captains and whether or not he is weak.

[suppadave]

I think it will involve Ishida gaining his powers again or Sado being angry with Ichigo as he was angry with him as Ichigo told him to leave. Sado is slowly being pushed out of it and he will push him self back into it by becoming better so he can fight with Ichigo.

Can't wait for the next episode :)

[demonbane91]

Ikkaku won, yes he did.

[lil_one]

i'm hoping Sado is what will win the fight for ichigo, something he does or something. Make ichigo realise he's not completely useless

[supratt232]

yea...im pretty sure sado is no where near powerfull enough to help out in a fight against an espada. even if he somehow did get really strong, it would just be cheesy

[Emperor Knives]

I don't think those Arrancar Renji and Hitsugaya are facing would be able to win against them now that they have gotten "permission" to go beyond their limit. Those Arrancar don't seem to have any distinct abilities so I'm guessing some boost in the Shinigamis' powers would do the job. And it seems that Ichigo's going to lose. From what that Arrancar guy said, Grimmjow must REALLY be powerful.

[Decado]

Rukia was out put out of comission by GJ... i was hopeing that 119 was gunna be the fight but they used a filler :(...still it wasn't a crap filler
i dont think ichigo will be able to handle it...i reckon ogichi will overpower him to defeat him or some of the other guys will come take GJ out...or GJ pussies out and goes back:P
it wasn't a filler. it's in the manga too, crucial to understand his past =)

i don't understand your post.
his bankai was breaking, but that's not unlike renji's which has broken before and he couldnt use it and was hurt because of it kind of.
the first is over though, ikkaku won, right?
yep, he won.

[Baber786]

Bleach will air next week right?
Because one of my friends was saying it won't, so i just need to make sure if he's wrong.

[DireCry]

Theres no reason why it shouldn't.

[supratt232]

i thought they were skipping a week again...maybe im wrong.

[theblack_dragon]

no your right there is no Bleach next week so all people dont stress the mods there will be no bleach next week check any web page for downloads there is a notice stating no episode next week

anyway i think next week since the limits are lifting all this wasting time with each fight might finally come to an end but

ichigo v GJ round 1 is what i really want see :)

[bbnflpn]

i am wondering why they are skipping weeks, they are doing it for bleach and naruto that i know of. i wonder how mad their fans are cause of it. its frusterating, they should at least make them rotate every other week so we have something to watch each week.

i do wonder whats gonna happen next ep

[Undying]

They are doing it so they won't catch with the manga and have to do fillers again. From the last drop in popularity, more fillers will kill the anime off. And the anime brings in money, so they want to keep it.

So they keep skipping weeks. Better than fillers, IMO.

[bbnflpn]

i agree, but at least alternate every other week so we have something to watch,

i need to find another anime to get in too, i finished all the others.

[orange big heart]

cant wait for the next episode.
:( I'm having bleach withdrawal symptoms, I think Ill watch it from the first ep till the last one *skipping bountos eps*>

[XenoCyde]

Most likely ichigo is gonna lose... Why? because grim jo only came out like what 2 episodes? wait 1.5 if he dies so fast he would be a waste of animation.

[smach]

They are doing it so they won't catch with the manga and have to do fillers again. From the last drop in popularity, more fillers will kill the anime off. And the anime brings in money, so they want to keep it.

So they keep skipping weeks. Better than fillers, IMO.
hey undying i was wondering, do you think it would be good for them if they took breaks and split it into seasons like they do with shows in the US like on adult swim? that would definitely help them keep the anime on a leash but on the other hand viewers might lose interest which means less cash and anime stops production.

[theblack_dragon]

i think thats a bad idea cant let the people get into anything else i think thats what is special about the fact that there are really no breaks just fillers arcs but still a break after the arrancar arc is not a bad idea so knew fresh idea can come in

[doobiesnacks]

I am not certain as to how the market would react, but I like the idea of the same animators writing background stories on all characters. That way it would give us more depth and shape to interpret into the characters and inner workings of SS. Of course they would have to stay away from spoilers and crossing up with the original story line, but there are characters they could show who have little or no outcome in the big picture. I am sure not everyone would be so excited about watching pointless Bleach when its not directly related, but it is much better then skipping weeks, in my opinion!

mateff



edit: Just realized this might be off topic.. excuse me.

[paulsan2112]

no, mateff, sounds good to me. like, 3 eps of canon plot and 1 or so of "filler'' character plot. kills several birds with one stone:
keeps the anime from catching up with the manga
keeps us from having to wait every other week to see something
keeps us from having to bare LONG filler once an arc comes to completion to keep the anime from catching up
gives us backstories on characters (I think most appreciate well-done back stories) that might not get the spotlight so much. origins, and shikais not yet seen, etc etc etc.

say what you will of the cost of running the extra plots side-by-side or animator manpower... I would *hope* bleach is popular enough...

and lastly, all the people that complain about ''filler'' episodes would only have to skip one episode a month as opposed to a whole season, or more. plus, hopefully if the episodes are done right, the backgrounds would still be canon (which is REALLY easy now... no worries of contradictions now that RetCon obviously will be used...) and worth watching. then, we will be asking ourselves "when is a filler more than a filler?" lol

just MHO...

[TallDarkRandom]

no, mateff, sounds good to me. like, 3 eps of canon plot and 1 or so of "filler'' character plot. kills several birds with one stone:
keeps the anime from catching up with the manga
keeps us from having to wait every other week to see something
keeps us from having to bare LONG filler once an arc comes to completion to keep the anime from catching up
gives us backstories on characters (I think most appreciate well-done back stories) that might not get the spotlight so much. origins, and shikais not yet seen, etc etc etc.

i like this idea, although i generally dont mind fillers, but am thinking why are they missing a week an bringing hour specials ? or is this just with naruto so then it kinda defies the point of what your saying i just generally think they need the time to get it right, maybe?

[theblack_dragon]

so wait i got a question is t his week an hour special cause i didnt hear any annoucments on it being one

[Tensa Zangetsu!]

I!I'm new xD

I think that ichigo will be controlled by his hollow,and will fight against rimmjow,rimmjow will do his special(for arrancar the first transformation is a type of shinigami bankai).
It will be a great battle.

Then,with limit release,matsumoto,renji and hitsugaya will defeat there opponents...with thw max power!

And i hope than issin's will talk to ichigo about his pass.

That's my opinion

Bankai!:headbang

[LoBeS]

i dont think that all that will happen in the ep. isshin will not tell ichigo until later on in the arc, or ichigo will find out by mistake...thats the best way to do it

[silverwolf801]

In the next episode I believe that ichigo will get pwn punched by my man grimmy. End of story

[Yase Ppochi]

Isshin will probably return in shinigami form while Ichigo is fighting Grimmjaw. It'll probably be one of these types of moments:
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e323/ichigo109/Uhmm_sexy_bishi__X3_lmao_.jpg

[theblack_dragon]

hahahaha that would be an intersting twist in events if that happen well the countdown is in the 121 is nearly upon us


hope they finish this fight with ichigo and grimmijow

[T_Ichigo]

Grimmjow and Ichigo will probably have a freakin bloody battle and eventually they'll eat sushi and take a cup of tea together at the nearest sushirestaurant.
Renji will play matador and accidently kill the bull.

[supratt232]

ehh im not getting my hopes up for any thing good yet. Remember how in the first arc there were about 15 episodes all building up to the SS arc where ichigo got his powers and learned to fight, etc? Well i figure their gunna do the same thing here. Im sure the good stuff wont come for a while

[Xtark]

the fight is not gonna finish ulquirorra is gonna come and stop grimm from
finishing..but all the others will win.

[Decado]

@stark: you've obviously read the manga.. (esp cos ur username is stark) this is a thread for those who haven't - so no spoilers, otherwise mods took give u warnings etc.

and btw, Ulquiorra does not come.

[zarakiscars86]

wut is this skip a week crap...better not be like this every week..anyway the arrancar get a ass kicking next episode :)
hey supratt im bombin around a pimped out 91 CRX righ now :) no crazy engine mods yet :(

[Undying]

@Stark:

It'll be Tousen, :)

This thread is becoming more and more spammy... this is intended only for anime watchers wishing to speculate for the next chapter, not for manga readers. Therefore, please refrain from posting senseless things such as "wut is this skip a week crap...better not be like this every week..anyway the arrancar get a ass kicking next episode" because it's not contributing at all.

[warforge]

I have not read the manga and new here so maybe this thread is meant for nubs like me.:biggrinki

My guess: (not seen 121 yet)

The maximized fodder will defeat Grimms backup... Ichi will probably have a stalemate of a battle with Grimm.... but in the end Grimm will retreat due to his buddies falling and him being left.

Thats my guess cause I doubt this Grimm guy will go down so early and with tid bits I gathered from Bleach Wikki info....im leaning to a stale mate and a retreat due to situation problems not in Grimms favor.

[MezzoDragon]

122 will be great. We get see more Vaizards. Hopefully, they will not ruin it by putting those lame filler Mod Souls there.

[warforge]

I want to see them in a filler....

Getting murdered.:winking56

[doobiesnacks]

I want to see them in a filler.. Getting murdered.:winking56

Go back and watch 120 if you want to see them get run through.

mateff

[Alerane]

I'm looking forward to 122, I was wondering where the Vaizards had gone just this morning ^_^

[warforge]

I'm looking forward to 122, I was wondering where the Vaizards had gone just this morning ^_^

Im wondering what is going to happen in training with the Vaizard gang. It looks like at the end of 121 Ichigo is meeting with them.

Blondey did say they could help him master his power ...I wonder if this is where he decides (ichigo) put asside my pride and time to learn?

I thinkso cause it makes total sense after his Grimmjowing.

[theblack_dragon]

yea he need to get some focus for real but i hope they put maybe 80% of the training in that episode and dont take up a tone a episodes on ichigo training

[MezzoDragon]

I just want to hear their voices. I hope they give the ditzy one a cute voice.

[theblack_dragon]

well the jap va are usually very good so i dont think they will dissapoint us in the next episode i hope they give kensie a good voice

[Scout Zangetsu]

If you watch the end it says that they cant cancel the military funeral's that Girly guy made for ikkaku...i hope we see what happens in the 122

[aznboi1324]

Ichigo hollow form ^.^ i cant wait

[T_Ichigo]

hehehe probably we'll see Ichigo train with Shinji, and met the rest of the vaizards ! Jizuz christ just can't wait until that moment !
I guess Aizen will punish Grimmjow by letting Tousen doing something, hmm not sure at all.

[supratt232]

I just hope they dont skip a week again...any news on that yet?

[theblack_dragon]

nah i dont think they will be up to that anytime soon i just hope that we get alot of time in the training for the next episode it seems that he went to shinji for help.

and cant wait to see full vaizard ichigo in control i wonder how much more powerful it makes him

[silverwolf801]

For the next episode ichigo will go and train to control his vaizard powers. They showed it in the previews

[Tobi]

Is it going to be delayed for a week? I hate it when that happens...

On-Topic: According to the preview, Ichigo will start his training with the Vaizard (A.K.A sexiest group in Bleach ^^).

[aznboi1324]

I heared that ichigo will fight grimmjow jack with full hollow form but hitsugaya stops them..

[onesoulfire]

I think that ichigo will end up being all upset from his fight, then shinji will say to him that he can't protect anyone the way he is. I believe shinji will then tell him that if he seeks to protect people, then he should locate the vaizard (including shinji), and they will train him to control his Hollow self.
Also when Ichigo finds them i think his training is going to be quite similar to that which he had under the store, and in soul society (when he achieved bankai). By that i mean, they are going to fight him until he comes to the brink of exhaustion/death, at which point he must "tame" his Hollow self, or be consumed by it.
I think it would be cool if this happens, although if it does i hope it doesn't go on for an extreme amount of episodes.

[NathanCT]

How the heck would Ichigo fight Grimmjow? He has to go to Hueco Mundo first since Jaggerjack already left.

So, at the end "previews", he's fighting with Hirako. Apparently, that's what's going to happen. I wonder if the Vaizard's can still obtain Bankai, etc.?

[MacDre]

Thats a good question, I never really thought about that... I just hope ichigo's training doesn't last 15 episodes. I wanna know whats up with Ururu after she choked the shit out of that guy that had me like "Oh SnApS!"

[Undying]

Didn't you see Tessai fixing her? She's ok... probably :D.

[MacDre]

Didn't you see Tessai fixing her? She's ok... probably :D.

Yea I seen that, but I want to know what the hell her going crazy and whoopin the guys ass was about.

[Undying]

That you gotta look back. Urahara explained she was an anti Hollow weapon... I think. I'm sleepy and can't remember.

But anyway, she's an anti Hollow weapon. Arrancar = modified Hollow so she went macho on him.

[T_Ichigo]

Wow so I was right after all about the the flashing light that was shown when Tessai repaired her, hmmm anti hollow machine, not bad Kisuke ! :D

[NathanCT]

When I was watching Episode 120, when Ururu went crazy, I felt like yelling "Owned, brother!" to that blond Arrancar. xD

J/k. Anyway, I got so many questions about the Vaizard. I wonder how Ichigo starts the fight with him.

[onesoulfire]

ya i'm sort of hoping that they will have a little more in depth description of "what /how powerful" the vaizard are compared to regular shinigami.

[theblack_dragon]

its truly amazing the amount of power she has i must say urahara is truly a geniues i wonder what type of experiments he did to get kicked out anyway 122 is nearly here people i hope that ichigo gets what he needs down in the episode i notice he fighting shinji maybe he going to join them who knows but i have a feeling this episode will be kinda fillerish in a sense of the talking thats going to take place

[MacDre]

Yea I deff expect ALLOT of chit-chat... If ichigo teams up with the vaizards that would be bad ass. All of them group up and go jump aizen lol.

[Miyagi Rikku]

Hmm.. I am also guessing there is going to be more drama about him
not being able to protect anyone again and from the looks of it he hurted
Sado/Chad's feelings. x.x

[bbnflpn]

yah i was wondering what was up with chad as well, we havent seen him in a few eps and im starting to wonder. i also wonder whats up with ishida. i have a feeling i know what hes doing though.

i didnt think that i would see chads feelings get hurt but hes the strong silent type and probably a lot more sensitive than we think he is.

[MacDre]

Allot of chitter-chatter this wee but allot is going on, can't wait to see what they do once ichigo's hollow comes out.

[SupraSpeed]

Allot of chitter-chatter this wee but allot is going on, can't wait to see what they do once ichigo's hollow comes out.

werd, next episode looks pretty intense..... i hate the wait :Domo

[sniperz]

if u hate to wait. go hollownization and pwns ur place! :P ask some espadas to rule U! XD

[MacDre]

Can arrancar grow back body parts? If not grimms screwed.

[MezzoDragon]

Arrancar cannot regrow limbs. Any lost limb has to be reattached. In other words, Grimmjaw is now a one-arm badass.

[Jedi Taicho]

So then Yami can get his arm back, but i don't remember them getting his arm back before they left to go back to Hueco Mundo

[Tyekanik]

Eh, don't think they carried Yami's arm. Though I still wouldn't be surprised if they got the arm back for both of them. Things are done differently in anime anyhow.

I expect ichigo to get beat down a few times for good measure, hell its how he learns, but still don't really want that gremlin to do it. They always start with the weakest first though.

[Edgey]

I dont think that ishida will get his powers back just yet but it will prob show more scenes of him training, also i think that there will be a couple more fights or fights that are just getting started.

[aznboi1324]

they needa make a marathon 5 new eps in one week.

They just cut the fights

[gdo01]

they needa make a marathon 5 new eps in one week.

They just cut the fights
And then 4 years of fillers to make up for all the chapters they just used up in one week.:rolleye09

[ChaserOfInfinity]

well if you look at the confirmed titles for the next 2 episodes episode 124 will be called "Clash! The Black Bankai and the White Bankai"

so its obvious that we will soon have the best mini arc of bleach episodes to air!

[Edgey]

And then 4 years of fillers to make up for all the chapters they just used up in one week.:rolleye09

No! No more fillers plz, if this actually happens i will scream and kill the animators with a shotgun :sad

[aznboi1324]

haha the bound fillers were good >.>

Fillers as long as their insteresting

[NathanCT]

Man, waiting sucks. I wish it'd air like twice a week, though they'd run out of time and resources. xD

I can't wait to see what Ichigo's gonna do.

[theblack_dragon]

i feel they might just show eveyone getting strongert or training next episode but im sure they wont get into ichigoes hollow form until the end and leave us with another cliff hanger

[MacDre]

i feel they might just show eveyone getting strongert or training next episode but im sure they wont get into ichigoes hollow form until the end and leave us with another cliff hanger

I wouldn't mind seeing little bits of people getting stronger but I hope they focus on ichigo. If they don't get to his hollow form till the end I'm gunna be pissed!:sad

[TallDarkRandom]

I wouldn't mind seeing little bits of people getting stronger but I hope they focus on ichigo. If they don't get to his hollow form till the end I'm gunna be pissed!:sad

i think they'll get to the point were his hollow form is just about to show or does show an then its the end of the episode if you understand were am coming from! its usually the case in such shows but it makes it interesting cause you really want to see the next episode but it gets me angry cause you know its goner happen,

Also i do think they will show people getting stronger especially Sado-kun they already hinted at Inoue getting better at healing so there showing progress, i'd just like to see the captains advance in power aswell.

Yea your probably right unfortunately. 1st rule of tv: end an episode with a cliff hanger whenever possible.

[Jedi Taicho]

This is why we need a special. That way we get at least 2 eps and it will make all bleach fans happy :biggrinlo but we all know MacDre is right. No matter what there will always be a cliffhanger that will end the episode. This is what makes Bleach such an adictive anime. We know there is going to be a cliffhanger and we keep watching each episode.

[aznboi1324]

Yea your probably right unfortunately. 1st rule of tv: end an episode with a cliff hanger whenever possible.

I like ur avatar haha

[Vlad]

I can't wait to see Ichigo with his mask on.

[theblack_dragon]

yep full mask and it seems as though they going to have to really get him made to get it out since he is afriad of it

[warforge]

Im wondering how is pulling that mask out going to get him to learn to control it...

I liked the preview clip at the end...I wonder how much of a asskicking its gona take...

Ichigo is a really hard headed buttface sometimes...

What I dont understand...If he knows he needs that power and its a part of him...why is he so afraid?

Why cant he figure out that it's his fear holding him back?

I hope he just gets over it and actually embraces his dark side. Sometimes I think hes just a chicken shit when it comes to this.

I predict hes going to act like a blithering baby after it comes out durring the fight.

[MezzoDragon]

Ichigo is an idiot. Many people teaches him the same lesson, but he never learns. Honestly. Why do idiots receive just strength?

[dragoneyes001]

well don't get too excited they will most likely do as they did when he was trying to find his real sword and make the fight last days while showing mostly other characters going through their own ordeals to become stronger this fight is likely to last over three episodes if not more its already going to be two add two more at least its unlikely they will finish it quickly because the threat is not ready to drop on them yet. when he finally does win there will be just enough time left for him to train(with minor peaks at it) while we see the arancar deploy their plan and the results of everyone elses training.

[MacDre]

I was thinking the same thing/ Here's hoping they stick with a fully dedicated episode to his training *Fingers Crossed*.

[Jedi Taicho]

We all want the Anime to focus on Ichigo but come on be real it won't happen. We still got Uryuu, Chad, and Inoue and their training. This is why I hate supporting characters :redbiggri

[rasheemo]

amen jedi! I couldnt care less about the other characters, i just want to see ichigo going hyper and his hollow going nuts lol

[smach]

@star wars-chan: yea but looks like next ep will focus mostly on ichigo's vaizard tranformation. booya!!! :headbang

[bbnflpn]

i cant belive i totally missed ep 122, i thought i had watched it but i guess i didnt

the only reason i noticed was cause db had that notice about one of their employees getting fired cause of the note they put on the ep about the vtech massacer (i couldnt remember what it was so i re dled it thinking i accidently deleted it)

while i was watching ep 123 i thought wow im totally missing something here. i guess i was lol.

[theblack_dragon]

@star wars-chan: yea but looks like next ep will focus mostly on ichigo's vaizard tranformation. booya!!! :headbang



yea it looks like there going to concentrate on him thats good get ichigo out the way then we can look at the others and see what training there doing but i must say the anime is starting to catch up with the manga very fast these days last episode i feel took up like 4 chapters

[Miyagi Rikku]

I actually see a avatar that is a spoiler xD hmmmmm.....



Next episode specualtion: Its all about him and the Hollow Ichigo of course.
A battle to the death and a little bit of the Vizards. :D

it will be about ogichi choking out that chick with glasses

[MezzoDragon]

It will get great to see Hollow Ichigo battle Lisa. Of course, it is a shame they toned down her character; looking at girls in swimsuits instead of porn.

[smach]

lol yea

btw flomp-rumbel is the new lunar...love how they did the ichigo-hiyori skit with the hiyori walker :Haha

[Maconi]

I predict the next Episode will go a little something like this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry6Siuu7NMI

With some random fighting with the real Ichigo and the Vizard, :p lol.

-Mac

[smach]

lmfao did you just upload that?!! hillarious!!! :Haha

yeah something like that :D and after that they will have cookies and tea.

[shinji hirako]

i'd like to see how every1 else's training is getting on, there might be a lttle of that but mostly ichigo fighting his hollow.

[silverwolf801]

yep I bet that is exactly how ichigo will get beat down

[pichupintos]

I dont think ichigo is gonna get beaten too badly. Lisa is though...
And also, I cant help but wonder what happens when ogichi's bankai gets destroyed and ichigos becomes white. Maybe Ichigo loses???

[shinji hirako]

ichigo wont lose, lisa will tho

[pichupintos]

its gonna be a 2 ep fight though. Maybe Ichigo loses control and then gets control back somehow, making ogichi temporarily king.

[Sobre Hielo]

I think that next week is Golden Week in Japan or something, and there won't be an episode until the week after next.

[pichupintos]

I doubt that, because otherwise, they would have said so in bleachportal's front page. THey usually say when there wont be an ep.

[smach]

the only thing getting pushed back is the manga so if you're not a manga reader then you have nothing to worry about. it's that simple.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4240&page=25
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2369

[cent17_2000]

I think that Ichigo is going to get beat down by his hollow, but only at first. Then the old man Zangetsu is going to come out of Ichigo's hollow and help him again, like he helped him when Ichigo had to fight against Z. Kenpachi.

I think this fight is only going to last one episode, because in the previews they showed Ichigo's black Zanpakto turning into the white one, and the white zanpakto that his hollow was holding disappearing. I bet that the white Zanpakto is sooo much stronger than the black one.

I think that when Ichigo's Bankai eventually becomes complete they should make Ichigo have both Bankai swords, but not this soon though. A black one and a white one!! That would be hard.

I have been wondering why when Ichigo becomes unconcious his hollow is allowed to have full control, even though both of them are presently fighting in the subconcious world of his mind. Does anyone know, because I have been wondering about that and about why the Vizards have to fight Ichigo when he becomes a complete hollow?

[Mougly]

I think the vizards are fighting the complete hollow of ichigo just in order to repress him from causing damage to random people throughout the world. His subconcioius at the time is in a completely different state because he's not worn down at all, it was just that cheeky smiley vizard that sent him there through one of his skills. If you look at the zanpaktou closely you see that its ichigo's zanpaktou that is broken by ogihci's hand. I think it's going to have to do with something that isn't fully resolved with just fighting... i think that ichigo and his inner hollow will have to come to terms with eachother on a level of trust, otherwise his inner hollow would take over every chance he would get as soon as ichigo would put his mask on. I think that the next episode will end witha resolve between ichigo and his inner hollow at the price of a few vizards getting tossed around.

[cent17_2000]

Man, that would a hell of a twist. I wonder would a common bond between Ichigo and ogihci make them exponently stronger than the current Vizards.

But if this happens does this really mean that old man Zangetsu is no more and Ichigo's Zanpakto is ogihci?

[silverwolf801]

who said that they are going to get tossed around. They are just as strong and even stronger than icihgo

[cent17_2000]

who said that they are going to get tossed around. They are just as strong and even stronger than icihgo


I don't know about that!! I bet you that little girl won't jump inside that box with Ichigo's hollow, plus it took all of them to stop him when he did jump on her the first time.

[smach]

then we'll just have to wait for the next ep now won't we.

[Vash448]

I think That they are going to do what they always do get you all pumped for Ichigo to fight his hollow and then focus on the other training and then before they decide they are strong enough they will show a little bit of Ichigo's training

[skandluz]

hmm... Im gonna go ahead and guess that matsumoto dosnt have time to put on her clothes, so she has to fight the Annaracar naked!
If this happens, Haineko's ash will be strategically covering the naughty bits :winking56

[XV Barixn]

Urge... to spoil... rising!

damn... people... who... only.. watch.. anime...

Jeez, this is a good week. The release of episode 124 and other things.

[smach]

c'mon bro, don't make them want to read the manga. of course you get to spoil yourself on the upcomings of the anime, but the anime won't be as exciting as it was before you knew what to expect.

so to all anime watchers, stay away from the manga at all costs!!!

[Darkblues]

yeah the manga does make it less exciting

[silverwolf801]

that's why I only watch the subbed episodes

[g0jack]

When I got tired of waiting for the anime, I started reading the manga. Too bad I have to wait for the manga to come out now too XD

[theblack_dragon]

hey like what time does the raw come out?

[smach]

don't know, anytime between now and midday eastern time.

[Tobi]

Oh so it did air. Okie, I was searching around trying to find out if it did or not.

On-Topic: Looks like we'll see the end of the fight between Ichigo and Ogihci accoring to the preview, shame, they could have at least stretched it out for 3 episodes.

[Gojira]

I don't know, i've seen the screen caps and to me it looks like it'll end on a cliffhanger and the fight will probably end in the next episode.

[Tobi]

Yeah I just saw them aswell, damn previews are misleading!

[supratt232]

Im kinda looking forward to the next episode, but it definitely looks like theres gunna be atelast 1 more flashback. Im pretty sure I noticed Zaraki and his sword in there somewhere, but then again I dunno if thats part of the manga or not lol. ehh guess we'll have to wait and see

[theblack_dragon]

yep me too its seems where finally going get ichigo out the way that full vaizard ichigo is going to soo cool cant wait for next week


hmmmmm i must say im a manga reader and i must give them cudos for the way the added kucichi and that bounto guy the episode are real twist tight there

[nx6]

hmmmmm i must say im a manga reader and i must give them cudos for the way the added kucichi and that bounto guy the episode are real twist tight there
Yeah, I agree. This has to be one of the few times I'm happy with the filler they added to the episode vs. how it happens in the manga. Although Kenpachi seemed like a better person to lecture Ichigo on instinct in fighting. With Ichigo coming out of his spell and getting his "instinct" back though, I don't think the 11th captain will make an appearance now. I wonder if
Orihime finding the Vizard's hideout and Ichigo...will make it in the next episode or we'll have to wait for 126 or 127.

[Gojira]

yep me too its seems where finally going get ichigo out the way that full vaizard ichigo is going to soo cool cant wait for next week
hmmmmm i must say im a manga reader and i must give them cudos for the way the added kucichi and that bounto guy the episode are real twist tight there

Seeing byakuya was pretty cool in the episode, but I really didn't like seeing Kariya. It just reminded me how crappy the filler arc was. I think animators added those 2 parts just to extend this episode into 2 instead 1. But that's alright... I guess they don't want to catch up to the manga too quickly. And if that happens then there will probably be another filler arc... NOOOOOOOO. :sad

But yeah, that's definitely zaraki they show in the preview and so finally they'll end his training. That'll be 4 episodes used to show his training. I think we have a while to go before we finally get to see a Vizard Ichigo kick some arrancar ass.

Man, they sure do know how to drag it out though. I wonder how ichigo's hollow is going to change once ichigo regains his composure. Did ya'll notice how his hand became a normal human hand when Ichigo took his sword back and the black stuff covered ogihci's hand?

[supratt232]

Im pretty sure that was Zangetsu's hand/sleeve

[sniperz]

zangetsu was like confined in between them two... it shud be time when zangetsu old man appears ....... maybe very long even after knowing espada and such.. he comes and teaches ichigo new skills! Lol!

[cent17_2000]

I wonder what Zaraki is going to tell ichigo!! It probably is going to be that he shouldn't be afraid and should love fighting will all his heart. I wonder if ichigo starts fighting with his instincts instead of his head will he begin to fight more like ogichi!!

[theblack_dragon]

@well im sure he will explain the having power and instint thing better cause i really cant believe that bounto was included in the lecture but zaraki will make a better person

hmmm i wonder what other alrationms they going to have next episode

[Mougly]

Ogichi is a terrible teacher... his analogies blow, lol. I would like to see ichigo start to fight with a better more confident seriousness and not holding back anymore. Zaraki will be sure to get his point across tho, i believe. Byakuya left him clueless... Kariya left him worthless... Ogichi left him powerless.... Maybe zaraki's teaching style fits ichigo best :).

Mostly they do. But the "King and Horse" speech has been one of my favorites, but I remember it being longer in the manga.

[Miyagi Rikku]

My speculation is that Ichigo will beat the crap out of the vizards. ;3
But more likely it will focus more in Ogichi's and Ichigo's battle. :3
and maybe something exciting... *whistles*

[Mougly]

It was a nice analogy but the way the anime exlpained it you had to really think about it and had to fill in a lot of blanks to make sense. So his analogies don't blow... his explination of analogies do :-p.

Could it have taken longer because it took you longer to read in in the manga? hehe

[diamondedge]

I have NO idea what's gonna happen next, but i do hope this whole Ichigo vs. Alter Ego battle will FINALLY end, because it's getting a little boring.

[T_Ichigo]

Well the probably, we'll see the Ichigohollow firing some kind of reiatsuflash, Zaraki with his ideology and a big explosion :)

[bbnflpn]

i dont know what kenpachi is gonna say,

but taken the fact that he does not know the name of his zanpacto its gonna probably be something good, or at least profound about the actual fighting and not depending on others for the fight (which is why he cant hear the name of his zanpacto

[MezzoDragon]

Captain Zaraki will teach him how to fight. Unfortunately, it is not going to stick. Ichigo being a dimwit when it is about fighting.

[cent17_2000]

I know Kenpachi is going to make a serious impression because he was the one who got ichgo out of running from fights the first time. Kenpachi is probably going to have to beat some sense in him.

I don't know what is wrong with Ichigo. Sometimes he can be sooo tough and then others he can be such a B*t*h. Like when he wanted to fight Byakuya he was soo confident, but when Kenpachi was chasing after him, he was soo scared and he was running. I lost all respect for him then. I hope he gets his nutts back!!!

[paulsan2112]

Yeah! 'nutts' with TWO 't's!!! (that's twice the nuts... and he needs some)



good ol' polyorchidal ichigo.

[MezzoDragon]

Cent17_2000, you make it sound as if he had any originally.

[cent17_2000]

He must have been putting up a front, cause initially I sure thought he did.



I wonder what the viazard are going to do about Ichigo's Hollow. I seems like it keeps getting stronger and stronger the more they fight it. They probably are going to be just at the point where they want to kill him when Ichigo regains conciousness or control over his own body.

[Faboor]

My speculation is this: Zaraki appears and kicks ass.

[Silentstrike]

Zaraki'll definetley influence Ichigo, hopefully they show some of Ishida's, Chad's, or Renji's training :DDDDD

[Maverickhfsb]

No, I don't want any of their training until after Ichigo is done.
