Episode 62 Discussion thread *Spoilers*

[WAHCHING]

Episode 62 Bleach Screen Caps and Long Summary (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2005/12/20/bleach-62/)

-Aizen defeats Komamura easily with a spell.
-He explains that he wanted to use the Soukyouku to take out the Hougyoku, but he did his research and found another extraction method.
-The captain uses this method and takes out the Hougyoku from Rukia. Though she is uninjured from the procedure, Aizen orders Ichimaru to kill her.
-Byakuya saves Rukia and takes the hit from Ichimaru. Kuukaku, Jidanbou, Yoruichi, Soi Fong, and several captains and vice-captains all arrive to surround Aizen.
-However, the sky opens up and Menos Grande appear, enveloping Aizen in a light that allows him to escape.
-In the aftermath, Byakuya explains to Rukia that she was his deceased wife's little sister. He swore to uphold the rules, so when Rukia's execution came up, he had a difficult decision to make between her and the rules.

Good episode, though they took out the gate guardians bit and moved the Kuukaku and Jidanbou part up. Nothing major though. We get to hear the rest of Aizen's story and also why Byakuya acted as he did. This arc should be able to conclude in one more episode.

Edit: No Bleach for the next two weeks. Episode 63, a one hour special, will air on January 10th.

[Sintaku]

Is the subbed version out yet. All I have seen is the saiyaman's raw version.

[Sandal Hat]

@Sintaku- No, its not out yet

Nice Caps and Summary I'll be looking forward to seeing this episode

[lokispec23]

Just what i would expect from readin the manga this is gettin good now <grin>

[Jedi28]

Yeah!! VERY cool!! :) I would have thought they'd have made this the one hour episode but I guess not. Oh well, it works AND they left in the stuff I was hoping they'd leave in! :)

[_Ink]

yay....now i wait for the sub. please please please.....
Aizen looks to be confirmed super powerful, nobody can lay a finger on him it seems.

[ChronoTrigga]

Episode = OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG even though I already read the manga......that's how exciting it is. :)

[_Ink]

oooohhhh noooo....!! I just realized that they took out the giants battle part, which could have been more fun! but i guess adding temporary designed characters are hard. oh well, onto better things. I really like that part though, shows how Jidanbou is no weakling. As he pwned allk his gate mates.

[ChronoTrigga]

Shinigami Cup was funny as always. lol

[SLVR]

I liked it. Not much to say except Aizen pwns all.

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

Komamura kicked ass in this episode even if he did get owned. His shikai's ability is very powerful and entertaining to watch animated. Was anybody surprised at how he was able to regain consciousness so quickly after taking Black Coffin? I know it was at 1/4 power, but it's still very impressive to be able to endure it and engage in a conversation. The spell reminds me of an iron maiden. At full power it probably has more kidou spikes to drive into its victim. It's a pretty vicious if you ask me...

[_Ink]

what was the spell supposed to do? i mean, it is just some kind of black thing covering you. what does it exactly do?

[GaryDAI]

what was the spell supposed to do? i mean, it is just some kind of black thing covering you. what does it exactly do?

I think the spell translates to "black sarcophagus"

I don't know what it does though.

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

Did you see those jutting black edges sticking out of the box when it fully formed? They are what causes the spell's damage. Remember how they shot into the coffin right after the camera pulls back to show it? Well, they're basically giant spikes made out of energy. This hadou entraps an enemy in an enclosed area and then impales them from all directions with giant black spikes. Cool huh?

[shadcrkd]

Ummm..forgot..

[SLVR]

Yeah that is pretty cool. He didnt even use it right.

[ashuran]

wooot! its just like the manga heheh except the giants part which i can say kinda bored me so all in all it was another great eposode yet i dread two things

first two weeks till the next episode noooooo!!!!! but hey a 1hr bleach yay!

second the dread of wondering if after the 1 hr special it will be nothing but filler episodes begins to cry at the thought

[ultimate]

this ep sounds pretty good and seems they kept most of the important parts from the manga with the exception of jidanbou coming into soul society earlier, no bleach in the next 2 weeks i think they are trying to avoid fillers though hopefully no filler eps after the 1 hr special...

[ChronoTrigga]

I hope they don't have a new opening with the next episode. I still like this opening. :)

[Ichigo Soul Slayer]

I want a new closing...but yeah, this episode....rocks, even though I cannot understand barely any word they say, atleast I've read the manga, heh. ^_^;

[vision33r]

There is a lot of information in this episode, especially about Tousen, which the manga didn't cover this much detail and Byakuya spoke in details about his relationship with Rukia and it was really nicely done that he apologizes and made up with Rukia about the whole ordeal.

Excellent episode!

[Jedi28]

What I liked about this in the Manga (haven't seen the episode yet) was that it showed how much RUKIA loved Byakuya. In the Manga she freaks out when he gets hurt and keeps asking why. Then when he collapses and Aizen is about to kill them, she wraps her arms around Byakuya and tries to protect him from Aizen. I don't know why I love that so much in the Manga. I guess it just shows how loving Rukia is.

[Daeruke]

aizen explanation was terrible

[Aarick]

i assume they will have the double episode then it will go to fillers.

[Jedi28]

aizen explanation was terrible

But isn't it nice that Aizen is a villian who likes to monologue and explain himself to everyone? He obviously doesn't watch enough television or he'd know that monologuing always gets villians in trouble.

[Sandal Hat]

But isn't it nice that Aizen is a villian who likes to monologue and explain himself to everyone? He obviously doesn't watch enough television or he'd know that monologuing always gets villians in trouble.Lol, its seems that he didn't learn from Tousen's mistakes.

[ChronoTrigga]

Why does everyone keep thinkin there will be fillers? It's not Naruto. :P

[off2bali2]

i assume they will have the double episode then it will go to fillers.
yep...that's what I've heard.

If the fillers are about the background of characters then it won't be so bad....if it's a bunch of Karakura Heroes, I'm gonna puke.

Why does everyone keep thinkin there will be fillers? It's not Naruto. :P
it is FACT that there are fillers(voice of Renji posted on his blog that he was recording voice for some filler episodes)....and they will start after the one hour special (the next release following episode62).

The anime has caught up with the manga, and the anime has followed the manga VERY closely(almost like a storyboard).

Unless they plan on making only 60 more mangas....you can probably expect a lot of fillers in the overall lifespan on Bleach, much like Naruto. (but that is just my opinion :P )

[Sandal Hat]

@Chronotrigga- Fillers usually happen when the anime is about to catch up the manga which is happening right now in Bleach.

[captain_soifon]

i thought no ep this week =o, must be next week? meh waiting on subs =D

[db]

Ahem, I updated the Releases Thread with a special bonus!!! :)

[Ishimaru1004]

I couldn't find the one with the subtitle so I was lost the whole time...o.O could someone PM me and explain things for me please????? *since I don't read the manga I'm totally lost* But the story plot wise, I think this episode is one of those touching episode, no fighting...^^

Sweet! Thanks. If you ever need a special thank you, I live by you ;)

[captain_soifon]

dam ichimaru gin looked sad =o

[Firefight]

ARGGGGGGGGGGg

I HATE AIZEN

-_-

~(watches episode 62)~

HATE HIM EVEN MORE NOW

Sorry for the caps =[ Sigh

This guy needs to die in the most horrific way for me to be happy.

[Hansu]

If you've seen 62 already you can click here:

I'm curious how the anime will go on after 62! The traitorous triumviarat seemed to disappear into somekind of Hollow World. And left a slightly damaged Gotei13.
I guess first thing they do is to restore order -->find new captains and vice captains for the 5,3,9th squad...maybe Ichigo and his mates will play a role there, or Urahara will return?!?!.
then i'm sure yamamoto will form a team to chase after aizen and his people.
what do you think about it?

[astrallite]

You can blame Aizen for the sins of Tousen and Gin I suppose, perhaps it just shows how great his hypnosis power is (either that or they are both totally screwed up individuals, period).

I was really hoping for a real fight...you know, like a bunch of captains simultaneously getting owned by Aizen...ahh too bad ; P

[Sintaku]

Well that was a great episode. Not much fighting though. The last few episodes have a lot of Aizen talking. Well, at least now it seems like something we have to wait for. The double episode on the 10th of Jan!

[Esuzumy]

Awesome episode.

And filler episodes? As long as they're not... weird. And stupid. Like Naruto's. >_>.

[blackmemory]

But Hinamori and Hitsugaya survived! Thats just awfull! What, nobody gonna die at all?
Aizen, why didnt you slit Yoruichi's throat, oh why? And Gin let Byakuya go, despite the fact, that he easilly could lift teh Great Savior in the air and smack him on rocks, or cut into pieces, you know.. Such good opportunities missed.
And Komamura, fox guy, lives too.. not very good episode, i rated it ***

[Kiyu-chan]

Whut..?! U want them to die?! U can't honestly mean that? I was shocked when Aizen stabbed boy genius Hitsugaya to death that easily in ep.60 when he was supposed to be a super talent...
I'm so glad Hitsugaya and Hinamori are still alive ^_^
They're so cute <3

I hated Byakuya so much...until this episode XD

[Neve]

I didn't hate Hinamori, but I think it would be better if she had died, as up til now, everyone has stayed alive reguardless of what happens to them.

[Ravenfdasfd]

Maybe there will be some permanent damage or something?
Hehe,one-armed Hitsugaya :p

[Kiyu-chan]

I don't think she should have died. If she did, Hitsugaya wouldn't be the same, dedicating his own life to protect Hinamori as he did. Didn't he become a shinigami to be able to protect Hinamori?
He would become a whole different person because of what happened to his dear childhood friend..losing the reason to why he is a shinigami...
I like him the way he is now!

[Kodoku]

Just saw the episode. How come Aizen could block Ichigos bankai with one finger, and Komamura and Renjis with his bare hands, then was scared of moving with Soi Fong and Yourichi threatening him? They couldnt cut him could they? Or are those two stronger than Ichigo's bankai?

Gin remains cool.

Tousen is mad. Stark raving loony.

Actually, I'd say Aizen stayed a little too calm to say he was scared, really. He probably awaited his way out anyway, so he knew that there's was nothing to fear, or that he had to try and do anything. Plus, he probably felt the others coming too, therefor staying calm and awaiting his way out instead of risking his life in a fight against all those others.

Great episode, as it has been the last few weeks/months XD

[Ravenfdasfd]

Indeed,though I was expecting atleast a small bout of fisticuffs between Aizen and Yammamoto...oh well...

[ashuran]

lol sigh cant wait till more bleach

[Jedi28]

Ahem, I updated the Releases Thread with a special bonus!!! :)

Is it direct download RM or direct download Torrent? Sorry, if that's a stupid question. :)

[Kodoku]

I got it by torrent. From Datteybayo I think. I have to agree with Raven, as i was looking forwards to an old man v Aizen show down.

Personally, having not read the manga, i thought it would be Old Man v Aizen, with Ukitake and Shunsui fighting Gin and Tousen. I did expect Komamura to get kicked anyway. Dunno why. Guess I just dont like the foxy look...

[blackmemory]

Its too early for dramatic battles like Aizen vs. Jama-ji, IMO.
BTW, is Aizen compassionate or not? He didnt wanted break Rukia's neck or something by himself, and ordered Gin to do it. It seems that he doesnt want to kill anyone, they are only in his way...

[Kiyu-chan]

Is it direct download RM or direct download Torrent?QUOTE]


I also got it from Dattebayo. U can get the episode from both Dattebayo and Bleach Society though.Go to Bleachportal.net main site and you'll find a link :D

I haven't reaad the manga either..I dunno what I thought.. Maybe a really big fight. Like Aizen vs a bunch of shinigamis

[QUOTE=blackmemory]Its too early for dramatic battles like Aizen vs. Jama-ji, IMO.

No he can't. He stabbed both Hinamori and Hitsugaya to death without hesitation.

[Kuchiki-Sama]

No he can't. He stabbed both Hinamori and Hitsugaya to death without hesitation.
Well at least he tried to, but Unohana saved them. ;)



Awesome episode. May be one of the best ones till now. Aizen looks pretty cool without the glasses and with his new hairstyle. I think I can finally accept him as an arch villain. :redbiggri The story of Byakuya and Rukia's sister was also very touching. Hell, the whole series keeps getting better and better!


One thing, though: When the space inside of this Menos-saving-light-thingie is a completely cut-off dimension, how can Aizen hear the Shinigamis talk to him while he's inside of it? :eek13:

[Jedi28]

Same way he can talk to them and they can still see each other I suppose. :)

Aizen wasn't being compassionate to Rukia. He had no problem slaughtering Central 46, running through Hinamori, slashing Hitsugaya, slashing Renji, nearly gutting Ichigo, nearly killing fox-guy, etc. He was probably just trying to let Gin feel useful by telling him to kill Rukia. That or Aizen was just lazy. You'll notice he also had no problem trying to get Rukia executed or shoving his arm through her chest. :)

[yar]

yeah, he was just trying to make gin feel useful.

[Injektilo]

I thought the bit where Gin stopped Inoue and Co. was pretty interesting, unless I'm mistaken that wasn't in the Manga either, perhaps my theory that Ichimaru is significantly more powerful than he seems has at least a grain of truth to it, I think it's kinda interesting that in the last episode he commented that he "allowed" Ichigo to pass, inferring that not only did he see him at his hyper-speed, but also that in his own opinion he could have stopped him.

The expression on his face when his hand gets grabbed was indeed utterly awesome.

I wonder what purpose Tousen will serve for the bad guys, it works for Ichimaru to be more powerful than he seems, given his demeanor and of course the fact that he is now most likely the secondary big bad guy (Darth Vader to Aizen's The Emperor), but what is Tousen there for? He's relatively weak and given his outlook I doubt he'd even be willing to dirty his hands doing tasks for Aizen...

[Ravenfdasfd]

Still,I wonder,how strong is Gin compared to Aizen?

[Kiyu-chan]

I wouldn't say that. It's always the one you expect the least (like gentle kind Aizen being the bad guy) who's doing evil stuff. He may look weak and all that, but who knows? Maybe he turns out to be a real badass? And Gin turning nice?(for the sake of his childhoodfriend..?)

[vision33r]

Still,I wonder,how strong is Gin compared to Aizen?

Gin is not very strong, just your usual trusty sidekick, he almost lost to Hitsugaya. He cheated by threatening to kill Hinamori.

I think Ichigo or Byakuya can own him easily, his shikai doesn't seem very powerful.

One thing I noticed is that Byakuya sure talks a lot for someone who is in such bad shape. In the manga he didn't talk very much before being pulled away in a stretcher. They combined the manga scenes in earlier episode explaining his relationship with Rukia into one anime scene. I was thinking that he should shutup. Because he is so stubborn with the SS rules, if it wasn't for him busy fighting Ichigo, Aizen wouldn't have gotten away so easily.

[ramonnl]

Yes this episode owns but next 1 will take soo long to be aired but it will be a 1 hour special tho so cant wait for it!

[easilyAddicted]

ah... finally understand everything... such a cool story, can't wait to see what's next!! (ah fillers) i'm glad no one died! but now Aizen has the hougyoku, he's gonna be SO STRONG, (& not like he isn't already), how is anyone going to beat him?! Ichigo really has a long way to catch up. Aizen knows all 4 techniques plus now he's gonna be a part hollow

I like the part when Byakuya comes to save Rukia, that was so touching. His wife is like a clone of Rukia, kinda of scary, it's like seeing his own wife, but no, his wife's sister... ah... Tite should as least given her a slightly different hair style. but it's so sad, he's only been w/ her for 5 yrs & she dies, so cruel.

that 1 hr special looks like it's starting to look silly, ah, filler arc, i can feel it already, must resort to the manga now.

[Vin-San]

Well 62 seemed biblical in a way. The way Aizen went to the sky with Tousen and Gin opposed to Jesus going to the skies with Elijah and Moses appearing beside him. All of the Gotei seemed to be watching, just as Jesus's disciples were watching him go to 'heaven'. I haven't read any of the manga, but seeing Aizen come back to Soul Society the same way he came up would be pretty cool as well. My 2 cents :D

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

Tousen could be very useful if he let go of his peaceful ways. His bankai could be used to kill many shinigami within a matter of seconds. Most of them would be at a loss to what's going on, which would give him the time needed to flash step all over the place to kill them. Hell, he could've cut Zaraki's head off within seconds too. Not only that, but a lack of resolve when fighting dulls your blade and slows your movement in Bleach. This has been shown to be true in multiple battles. Your mindset effects the effectiveness of your soul slayer. He needs to find the killing instinct with himself in order to fight to his true potential. I don't think that will be very hard with the little trinket Aizen got from Rukia.

A lot of people say he's weak but that's not really fair. He went up against Zaraki who takes attacks like they're nothing. Zangetsu to the face anyone? Hell, he got cut into with Ichigo's big ass sword multiple times. His first ability, Nake (ring), can render most enemies harmless and defenseless. I'm assuming its effect is based on the enemies reiatsu in contrast to his. If this is true, then he could seriously mess up any large force of shinigami with it asides from captains and some others. No one can say his second ability Crimson Locusts isn't powerful. It ****ing leveled most of the huge building they were fighting on. It also has the potential to kill a lot of enemies with very little effort. I doubt anyone asides from Zaraki, Yamamoto, and Aizen could take it and still stand. A concentrated version of it would just be pure ownage.

[Jedi28]

He's relatively weak and given his outlook I doubt he'd even be willing to dirty his hands doing tasks for Aizen...

Ichigo was exhausted at that moment, and remember Byakuay told him he was getting far slower. I don't think Ichigo was using his Bankai speed to get to Rukia (I think he was too tired). If he was just using normal flashstep then it makes sense that Gin (a captain) would have been able to see him. Ichigo could see Byakuya's flashsteps and Renji was just starting to barely see Byakuya's.

[astrallite]

I think Sanosuke Sagara said correctly: I'm too old to get rid of my prejudices. Guys like Tousen and Kenpachi have forged their current position through centuries of determination and that requires a lot of bunker mentality. They are likely too old to change.

What I am really curious about is how souls age in the soul society, because it's obvious many "elder" souls have passed on. Where do they go, if this is not heaven? Is Soul Society a purgatory, or is there no place for heaven in the Bleach Universe, and after a given amount of time souls are just reincarnated?

[Firefight]

I wonder what that thing behind all those Menos was. Seemed like a big purple crescent thingy....eye of something big!?

I thought it was neat to see that Menos are not juts some random big hollow, they're actually useful and possesses multiple abilities. They're like the captains of the Hollow World it seems.

edit: Oh man, and the way the sky was ripped open by the Menos was just sick :D I was like HoLY SESTISHTIUSHEUHTUT dude...

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

They're reincarnated into the human world.

[dragon_slayer]

Tt was very cool

[Jedi28]

Will DeShack release 62 in RM like they did 61? :)

[rasheemo]

MANGA READERS: Hey does anyone know how much sooner until we see some more hollow ichigoness or an explanation of it? Like how many more episodes?

[Hits]

It seems like there was a lot of emphasis on the oddness Orihime's powers this episode, even more then the manga. This definetly has to be some foreshadowing...

[Jedi28]

MANGA READERS: Hey does anyone know how much sooner until we see some more hollow ichigoness or an explanation of it? Like how many more episodes?

So far Ichigo has only gone bankai one other time. As soon as he did it the Hollow attacked him and tried to take over. He was forced to fight it off and in the process he, Chad, Orihame, and some others almost died.

[ashuran]

well since the fight with rukias bro we havent seen hollow ichigo

[Epyon94]

ya it's getting really good really fast, but we might end up with some filler episodes if we catch up too fast. plz god no more Don Kanongi!!!!! other than that and Aizen, Gin, and the Blind Capitan running away and being real basterds it was really good. "Sorry I've been caught."

[Jedi28]

well since the fight with rukias bro we havent seen hollow ichigo

yeah, we didn't see it but it did make its presence known the second time Ichigo went Bankai. He said something about how the Hollow was attacking him though we never actually saw or heard it.

[AyuTrance]

Tousen is not weak. His bankai could own many ppl...just that Zaraki was crazy enough to let Tousen stab him 1st, then only he countered. I think Aizen's just playing safe by having Tousen at his side. He's the only 1 that's immune to Kyouka Suigetsu. If Aizen can be that strong, others can too. Aizen would not risk having a new problem arising in the form of a blind captain. But Tousen sux...i hate his "...the path i walk on is justice" :eek13:

poor Komamura's heart was shattered...=X

[Entenie]

Altough I've already read the manga, this episodes still rocks.
They did cover up more than I anticipated, cause I tought it would end with Aizen & Co leaving SS.

Love it how Captain Kuchiki finally showed some humanity and affection and Rukia still being loving after being treated so cold.

Couldn't tell from the manga, but the anime implied that Gin actually wished that Matsumoto hold hem longer so she would've lifted with him. He genually felt sorry for what he have done to her (ie leaving her so confused).

Flashbacks of Tousen and Captain Komamura were nice. But it makes me wonder who the captain was back then, if Aizen was still Vice-Captain.
Speaking of which, did Aizen actually implied he's triying to take the place of God??

Minor point though is that we didn't see Jidanbou own the other gate guardians.
Kuukaku of the Shiba clan looked really powerfull though, kind of explains why her clan used to be of nobility.

[Hits]

Ya, I don't really get the whole logic behind his " Path of justice" thing. I was like wtf? His explanation doesn't make any sense...it's like me saying "PMS is bad but incest is good because it distracts me from PMS." That doesn't make any sense, does it? That's how stupid Tousen's logic is.

[Sandal Hat]

Everyones sense of justice is different. Yama's is not the same as Ukitake's and Shunsui's and Tousen's isn't the same as Ukitake's

[Jedi28]

Tousen believes that whichever path has the least violence and bloodshed is the right path. In his mind Aizen is the most powerful so he'll be able to "fix" things without shedding a lot of blood as opposed to a weaker person who would have to kill more people to get them to do what they wanted. No it still doesn't make sense but that's how Tousen sees it. He's kind of twisted. :)

[captain_soifon]

i think his jsut a dumbass and is putting on an act

[Jet85]

I think Tousen is just a little confused from too much darkness :LOL:

[Zeke]

great episode even though i was expecting a big fight
aizen owns as usual while gin is just awesome B)

gin sure looked sad :(

[Tracid]

Soi Fong should have just decapitated Aizen then and there and finish it.

[Kiyu-chan]

Yeah she should. But I bet Aizen wouldn't have died from that. But if he died, there wouldn't be no more Aizen to hate and hunt down.
The story would have been too short.

[blackmemory]

Ok, so i have a new question about this episode.

Menos Grande, supposed to be powerfull, yes? Shinigamis are their enemies, so why didnt they manifested in Soul Society? They would just slaugthered whole Gotei 13.

And if they are not so strong to accomplish such a task, why Jama-ji and Co havent kicked their butt? They could stop Aizen that way..

[Sandal Hat]

Menos Grande are weak compared to captain level shinigami so if they went into Soul Society they would have gotten royally owned. If they had gone in there to fight then they would have died and Aizen wouldn't have been able to make it to Heuco Mundo.

Second Questoin: I don't think Yama could jump that high.

[Thaliel]

After ep 62 I wuv Byakuya even more than before, even though I already knew about his whole demise, but seeing it was soo "Awwwwwww, poor baby" .
And as well as my love for byakuya has grown, my hate towards aizen has also risen, that fu..ing ba..ard!!!

[blackmemory]

Why could someone hate Aizen? He didnt do anything bad... well, he tried to, but not very succesfull: Hitsugaya and Hinamori alive, Renji, Ichigo, Komamura too. Of course, he has taken Hyogoku, that black thingie, but nothing bad happened yet. So at least wait till some serious damage will be caused, then start to hate Aizen!
Oh, he did slaugthered Room46, but i dont see anyone crying about them here, on the forums...

[Hits]

This episode made Byakuya seem more human. The part where Yoruichi and SoiFong comes up to Aizen is pretty cool, but not as well done as I'd like it to be. What's up with Orihime? The 4th division person says that her healing spell actually is some sort of time manipulation spell, that's pretty cool. There definetly has to be something more from her.

[Vin-San]

I've heard some rumors about the anime version of having it's own little "Arc" that seperates it from the manga for now, but I'm sure if that's right. Maybe it's just a filler arc? *shrug*. Anyway, maybe the hints they're giving us about Orihime have something to do with what the next few episodes might be about, or maybe a whole filler arc dedicated to her. Please no...no no no...

[kraziekid]

Omg Episode 62 Is Soooo Gooddd

[Darkon]

I read the manga a little past this point. So I can take the expected filler arc. I stopped reading after the 3rd or 4th one after the Soul Society arc. So I can stand to wait till they get back to the story line after filler ^^;

[WizKid]

So who will the new captains and vice- captains be?

[Jedi28]

We don't know who the new captains are yet.

[Vin-San]

Why could someone hate Aizen? He didnt do anything bad... well, he tried to, but not very succesfull: Hitsugaya and Hinamori alive, Renji, Ichigo, Komamura too. Of course, he has taken Hyogoku, that black thingie, but nothing bad happened yet. So at least wait till some serious damage will be caused, then start to hate Aizen!
Oh, he did slaugthered Room46, but i dont see anyone crying about them here, on the forums...

It's called Betrayal and Attempted Murder.

[Tami]

I think this episode marked the end of the climax of the Soul Society arc. The beginning was 60.

And yeah, I cried for Byakuya and Hisana.

[ultimate]

i liked this ep, it was pretty cool, now it is the end of the soul society arc and getting closer to the manga... i liked the way yoruichi and soi fong surprised aizen though aizen's exit outta soul society was pretty cool and i agree with HitsugayaT, this ep does make byakuya seem more human which i liked

[LoBeS]

do u think that wot hisana had is the same as wot ukitake has? and he is just better at coping with it?

[tAhTsExYBrOwNmAn]

So who will the new captains and vice- captains be?

Has to be someone with Bankai (Zaraki not counting -_-). So...Renji?

NO NO ICHIGO!!!!

Nah, Ichigo has his own little life...

[Jedi28]

Ichigo has a life so he can't be captain. You have to be dead first. :)

[teamninja60]

how come the direct download for rm's are on deshack now?
what is the meaning of this? i must know

[Jedi28]

BleachPortal is having server problems so they've kindly listed other places we can get the RM direct download. Once all the problems get ironed out, the RM direct downloads will be offered here again.

I hope they don't do a lot of fillers, or any, if possible. The Bleach Manga is getting SO FREAKING good right now that I can't wait to see it!! So far there are about two big spoilers left for the Anime watchers to see (in my opinion at least). One of them is an Aizen-is-alive-and-evil level spoiler and will truly have people going WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I can't wait! :)

[Bleach(ed)]

lol.....but 2 weeks weeks of waiting for the next bleach episode>.<...ouch

[Entenie]

lol.....but 2 weeks weeks of waiting for the next bleach episode>.<...ouch
Yeah but afterwards, we get an 1 hour Bleach special. But I don't think it will be action packed.
My guess is, they going to shoot the episode to the part where Ichigo & Co leaves Soul Society

[thepolia]

I've just watched it yesterday (I know I'm slow) I really like the part with Matsumoto& Gin, it just sticks in my head. =) Is that all they're gonna show about Tousen's past? I thought there's more to that... at least the manga has more details. On the part where the gillians tore the sky up... I think that part is more impressive in the manga. I like how Hisane's voice& tone is a lot different from Rukia's

Some random babbling...

[sgb162]

Mhm. So the only way to become stronger is to fuse a Shinigami with a Hollow, eh? Ichigo has already achieved this, hasn't he? Foreshadowing, leading you to believe Ichigo is the only one who stands a chance, maybe?

[Amu]

Ichigo stands ABSOLUTELY NO chance at his CURRENT level. Maybe if he masters his bankai with hollow....naw...Aizen will eat him alive!

[Kuchiki-Sama]

Ichigo stands ABSOLUTELY NO chance at his CURRENT level. Maybe if he masters his bankai with hollow....naw...Aizen will eat him alive!
Don't forget one thing: Ichigo is the hero, Aizen is the arch villain.;)


Someday, Ichigo WILL defeat Aizen.

[rafdraft]

got that right, but i think that would take a while for the meantime lets accept the fact that Ichigo is by far too weak for Aizen. he still has to beat those crappy Arrancar first XD

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

You need to put that in spoiler tags. Also, they're far from crap. I won't say why to save some of the suspense for our anime viewers.

[teamninja60]

thanks for the info

[3HeadedMonkey]

awesome ep. felt bad for gin. byakuya was awesome.
what's an arrancar??

[Kuroi Getsuga]

It was a cool episode...but I was surprised Aizen was with the Menos Grande

[ichi-woah]

it was reeeeeeally good, i didnt expect it at all (guess that shows how slow i am lol ^_^ ). that whole rukia - aizen thingy was a tad strange, freaky too, but im liking the menos thing, even though they look really stupid.

[Shihouin Yoruichi]

I totally LOVED it. It was soooo cool seeing them all together ^_^
I loved the Gin and Rangiku parts :D
And during the Byakuya - Hisana part I was like :( Sow sad
Yoruichi kicked ass :D

[Jedi28]

awesome ep. felt bad for gin. byakuya was awesome.
what's an arrancar??

An arrancar is what Aizen creates using the thing he took from Rukia. It's a Hollow with Shinigami powers. You'll see them in a few more episodes if they don't go to fillers.

[Bankai!!]

Well it was out like two days ago. But they won't be showing bleach until january something. It is gonna be a one hour special.

[teamninja60]

aizen likes to talk
i've noticed this
and i don't think he looked very cool without the glasses
something about them makes him look evil

[tednfs]

he did talk alot
talkative villian

[teamninja60]

that he did
he had monologues inside of monologues

[Sintaku]

What chapter does this end at in the manga?

[Daeruke]

If he didn't talk would we understand a thing? but others should talk 2 like gin or the old guy(commander0

[teamninja60]

i don't think gin should talk too much
i think his coolness would diminish if he did
for example we know what ichigo is thinking pretty much all the time
but we don't know what gin thinks
it adds to the character

[T_Ichigo]

Yeah Gin is mysterious, his smile .. his personalities .. that's the great path of him .. and I also think that's why many of us like him .. But anyways this episode was pretty good .. Aizen told us a lot about his intensions and much more .. BTW .. DAMN Aizen is soooo COOOOL without glasses and a different hairstyle .. damn it he was so cool

[vittorio301]

as posted on www.bleach7.com

Regarding Upcoming Bleach Episodes.
Molokidan was nice enough to translate the few upcoming episodes titles.

Episode #63 : Rukia's Decision, Ichigo's Feelings
Episode #64 : New School Term, Renji has come to the Material world?!
Episode #65 : Creeping Terror, the Second Victim
Episode #66 : Break Through! The Trap Hidden in the Labyrinth

yup ..filler time!

[teamninja60]

i actually don't think he looked very cool without the glasses
one of the reasons why i liked him to begin with was his intellectual nature i guess
and you just don't get that without those awesome glasses

[Anomander]

Ichimaru wanted Matsumoto to come with him.

"Its a pity you did not hold on a bit longer" - or something along those lines. She rejected him so maybe he will kill her.

[captain_soifon]

he wants to kill her, but he said his sorry

[Baron]

Ahh, I finally got caught up and watched 60-62. It's been two weeks since I left off at 59, so I just want to share some thoughts:

1. Aizen is one tough cookie.

2. I still don't understand why Tousen sided with Gin and Aizen.

3. Byakuya isn't as cold as I once thought he was.

With all of these plot twists in 62, I can say this without hesitation: "Holy flying monkey banana crap, I did not see that coming."

[Chord]

I think...

I don't think Gin will hurt Matsumoto... He'll do one of those "bad guys who really has a heart of gold and will end with "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Matsumoto... forgivu-ness please!" and she'll be all "Gin... I'm sorry, it was my fault etc..." and he'll die in her breasts, and she'll be all angry because Aizen will have killed him, because he tried to save her, she'll get injured, Gin will launch a last strike, fail spectacularly, and Ichigo will be pissed, something like a killing strike will happen, but Hollow Him will take over somehow and something will happen.

Will happen. Definately. Hold me to it.
/Chord

[Kurosaki-kun]

Episode 62 was really great. Shares the same quality as its manga counterpart. Can't wait for the one hour special!

[hitsugaya-lover]

Yes, episode 62 was hektiq ..lol
and it is getting more and more interesting ..
of course tousen followed them because hes blind ..lol ..he is being tricked in following them when he thinks the path he's walking now IS justice when it isnt ! =O

[captain_soifon]

too bad fillers are coming

[tednfs]

i hope kubo reads what fans think and speculate eg..us
so he can go against all that we wanted
now that wud be impressive

[blove54]

i wanna start readin the manga....what chapter in the manga does this happen?

[tednfs]

blove54..from around where u find out about aizen..roughly 165 should do
some of the colourings are amazing

[Daeruke]

aww fillers r coming
I wonder if hollow ichigo can beat aizen

[blove54]

cool thanks...for all yall manga readers out there...ive been readin the manga threads and ive been wondering...wats a vasteroodis and wen will us anime watchers find out about it?

[chingning]

LOVED IT! haha. it was like woh. aizen is so cool. but i still hate him. ichimaru is as cool as ever (: and soi fon was cool. OMG. it was just such a cool episode! OMFG. 63 is only coming out on 10th Jan? I'm like dying of suspense alr!

[Kurosaki-kun]

Is it really true that fillers would really follow after the Soul Society part?

[demonbane91]

Episode 62 can only be described in two words: Freaking Awesome. So much things happened in that ep, so I don't see why people could hate it. I mean, the whole thing with Aizen.. that was really good. Can't wait till ep 63 comes out though.

[pansasama]

i really enjoyed it as well. it was great!!! i even like byakuya now (and he looks much better without his hair thingys). he's not as stuck up as i thought he was. glad also to see soi fong and yourichi came to some understanding.
can't wait til the next arc. it's gonna be awesome!!!

[lordsmish]

Wow Great episode thinking aizens gonna attack the human world however.

[A2k]

o.O

Why exactly would he do that? o.o

[Zeldox]

Sooo NICE !!!
See everyone co-operate! But I would like to see Ichigo kick the crap out of Aizen!
Or at least make more damage with his bankai! But I guess thats comming, Ichigo is the perfect hybrid between hollow and shinigami! :D

[vittorio301]

I dont think fillers will be bad. Someone stated that an ova would be out with Renji on earth but I think taht person got confused with the filler arc seeing how Renji will go to earth for some unknown reasons.

**
Just wanted to say that Ichirin No Hana by High and Mighty Color is out (the full version). Ill upload it in a bit.


You can find the link on this THREAD (http://www.forums.bleachportal.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4990&highlight=ichirin+hana).

[tAhTsExYBrOwNmAn]

o.O

Why exactly would he do that? o.o

Cause he's evilISH.

[Zangetsu Tensa]

Cause he's evilISH.
There's several obvious reasons why he would. First he's already shown interest in Ichigo, meaning that he'd probably want to check up on him or kill him if he thinks he's going to be a problem. Secondly, he only just obtained the gem, and he'll be experimenting with it, developing hybrids and testing them out. What better way to prepare for an invasion of Soul Society than by assaulting the living world? Finally, Aizen wants to rule over everything, and in order to control the cyclic flow of souls he'll need control over both the real world and Soul Society.

Ichigo has also been forgiven by Soul Society, which means that him and the gang will probably be heading back home. The plot naturally has to follow them. Based on these facts it's most likely that Aizen's next move will indeed be an attack on the real world, probably minor ones at first with his first experimental hybrids as tests, with the attacks increasing in severity as he creates more perfect hybrids. Of course Soul Society can't be expected to sit around and do nothing during this time, so the real world will probably become the battlefield upon which the first battles of a massive interdimensional war will be fought.

[hitsugaya-lover]

but why would he wanna take over ALL of the human world ? if hes only interested in ichigo ..might as well kill him only taking over the human world NOW will only bore him to death later ..since theres nothing else to take over ..^__^

[kraziekid]

episode 62 was kinda complicating is it like the memos grandes trying to help them?

[Byakuya7]

episode 62 was kinda complicating is it like the memos grandes trying to help them?

All will be explained soon enough. Well, actually after the filler, in which case it will take a while.

[Abarai Renji]

sounds great. cant w8 to see it. plz tell me episode 63 isnt the last episode? cause i want to be able to be a fan for about a few months, since i got into bleach around a month ago

[blilovu]

plz tell me episode 63 isnt the last episode?
don't worry, episode 63 isn't the last episode.

[Jedi28]

Episode 63 ain't the end because the Manga just starts getting good after it. :)

[captain_soifon]

^i rekon after this part it gets kinda boring witht eh uber powers

[Jedi28]

No, not really. It gets pretty exciting.

[Vin-San]

Is it going to be episode 63 and 64 for the 1 hour special or just 63?

[thatbabo]

as to what Studio Pierrot, Kubo Taito (Creator), and Abe Noriyuki (Director) are going to do seeing as how the anime has nearly caught up with the manga...

I don't see how they can avoid turning the series into:

"let's have 20 filler episodes...1 episode to move the story along...20 filler episodes...etc, etc"...

I could care less, but I am still curious as to what they'll decide to do...

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/thatbabo/Zaraki.gif

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/thatbabo/Yachiru.gif

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/thatbabo/Hitsugaya.gif

[tednfs]

they had a discussion whether the anime will catch up to the manga
it can't
the final solution: send filler episodes with don kanonji that will piss off the fans and bleach will stop airing

[Sciky]

or air 1 bleach episode episode every 2 or 3 weeks so the manga can get ahead of the anime.

[thatbabo]

send filler episodes with don kanonji...

Please. No. More. Don. Kanonji.

or air 1 bleach episode episode every 2 or 3 weeks so the manga can get ahead of the anime.

I actually wouldn't mind this so much...but I don't think the TV station that airs Bleach would be happy about this.

[hitsugaya-lover]

no =| o_0 NO MORE DON !! PLEASE ! ..oh yeh ..and i dont really mind abt bleach airing every 2 or 3 weeks ..=) i wanna read ahead ..mwahaha

[T_Ichigo]

I would suffer if Beach aired every 2 or 3 weeks =S

[Maki Maki]

Well I am impressed, the bleach story has more twists and turns in it than a snake - a snake named Aizen! After watching Byakuya's confession I almost feel like recanting on my earlier rants against him - almost. He still has some making up to do especially to Renji and Ichigo, even though those were some of the best fight scenes overall.

Aizen is way too powerful, he's an "uber owner", stopping zengetsu with just his finger, c'mon that's ridiculous! Makes me wonder why he decided to just escape in the negasion light, seems like he could have owned everyone including Yama-jii. It'll be very interesting watching how this story arc is resolved, I mean somebody has to kick Aizen's ass and if what he says about achieving greater power by combining shingami/hollow power than perhaps Kurosaki is the man for the job!?

Anxiously awaiting the double ep coming in January!

[dehoogrules]

Damn, the wait until the next episode is excruciating...I actually miss being behind, because then I could sit down and watch a bunch of episodes at once.

I'm not following the manga (at least, I'm reading the English, published versions, and those are far, far away from catching up with the anime), so this is all new and very exciting for me - even the idea of fillers is fine by me at this point. As long as it isn't Don-heavy and explains a lot of back story, I'll be happy.

Out of curiousity, what chapter of the manga is the anime up to, and how many chapters is the manga up to now?

[thatbabo]

Out of curiousity, what chapter of the manga is the anime up to, and how many chapters is the manga up to now?

The anime is near the end of Chapter 179...

I believe the manga is around 209-210 ish...and seeing as how each anime episode eats up at least two chapters of the manga, unless they start inserting a lot more fillers, it looks like the anime will catch up to the manga near the end of the following season (that's just a complete and total guess on my part)...

a 26 episode filler arc is enough for the manga to get pretty far ahead. The animators may want to slow down the amount of chapters they consume per episode though. 5 or 6 chapters an episode is ridiculous, and while it gets the job done effectively, it leaves out some character developement and depth that the manga has.

*nods in absolute agreement*

[Jedi28]

Yeah, the Anime is at about 179 chapter wise and there's 209 chapters currently. If Bleach continues roughly three chapters an episode it would mean about ten more episodes for it to catch up. By that time there would be ten more chapters so about three-four more episodes, then there'd be three new chapters (assuming an episode comes out each week along with the chapter) so one more episode for that. So total, without fillers, it would take about three and a half more months for the anime to totally catch up with the manga (rough ballpark figure).

[dehoogrules]

Maybe some of the stuff they cut from the manga will be presented in these filler episodes. I hope so, at least, because I want to see all that stuff come to life. 26 episodes, though, that's a lot...Can they even pull that off properly?

I wouldn't mind if they released an episode every 2 weeks or something - it'd be agonizing, but in the end, it'd probably be worth it.

[Daeruke]

probably but! it will b painful:(

[Byakuya7]

I doubt they would do that. A lot of filler is coming our way, until the manga can get further ahead. By filler might not be as bad as some people are making it out to be.

[Kuchiki_Byakuya]

hey guys! first time here.. how do u all became the "11th division captain" or "shinigami"? how to create ur avatar?

[Ethanol]

hey guys! first time here.. how do u all became the "11th division captain" or "shinigami"? how to create ur avatar?

The division captain/shinigami stuff is from the Gotei 13 thread, which is stickied in every forum I think, but is posted in the Announcements section.

As for avatar or signature for that matter, I would find some of the artists on this forum to make ones for you...personally, I'm rather slow in picking up Photoshop.

[Uchiha Rukia]

I liked this episode i never knew that rukia's brother was married to rukia's real sister that was a shock and also all the captains came out of no were to help that was surpriseing and cool. Can't wait for the next episode.

[Bankai!!]

nice summary. I have seen the subbed version like a week ago.

[Rabid_Wolverine]

I liked the fact that all of the Gotei 13 came vack just to go against Aizen, Ichimaru and Tousen. Was quite nostalgic in Aizen's words.

[Jedi28]

Yeah, that's a really cool image in the Manga.

[Niwakayuki]

O god I wish the subs went faster....can't wait!

[captain_soifon]

its already out, ages ago

[vittorio301]

Bleach's 6th anime ED song has been announced over in the pages of Weekly Jump.

According to the anime producers, the next artist signed on to do music for Bleach will be SunSet Swish; a pop/soft rock act fresh on the music scene with their first major label effort "Tomorrow, You Can Laugh" from just this past June.

Their Bleach song will be called "ﾏｲﾍﾟｰｽ" translating to "My Pace."

Look for the song to air some time in January and replace the current 5th ED "Life" by Yui.

For more information on SunSet Swish:

So its official...YAY!

[Jedi28]

Yeah!! I'm looking forward to it!

[chakra25]

Hooray.... Byakuya came through for her lil sis. It's nice to see Ichigo join forces with the Shinagami Gotei 13... and watching Yoruichi and Song Foi working together brings tears to my eyes. I love those two. Hehe...

[Thaliel]

Hooray.... Byakuya came through for her lil sis. her???
the last time i checked, Byakuya was still a male...

[dehoogrules]

Although, he does have a slightly feminine appearance...

Gotta love typos.

[chakra25]

her???

Can't blame me... which guy would leave his hair long and fight with pink flower petals? :D

well technically they arent petals, they are houndreds of thousands of swords shards floating around and surrounds the enemy then *BAM* cut all over
the sword shards just look like petals

[MZU]

The blades only look like petals because they are just catching the light as they spin and move through the air.

[Marshall Mathers]

Well I like better the theory that those are flowers :-P

[Thaliel]

Flower petals couldn't cut anyone and now we should stop being offtopic.

[SmallKid57]

i loved this episode... i mean it had somewut good fighting action. and u really c some characters develop here... and it was just good dialouge. it changed my opinion of byakaya being a jerk to being one of my favorite characters! after hearing the guys story really made me change heart...

[JAF]

with all the bad behavers that byakaya was doing for both ichigo and rokia I was sure that he will change his mind and do the right things and that is what happend in episod 62.

[Zeke]

so were having 2 weeks of no bleach!? 00;

i thought i was just one :(

[Byakuya7]

It will be well worth it. Next week is a one hour special and that should wrap this arc up, and start the filler.

[tednfs]

any clue how many fillers?

[Byakuya7]

Its unknown as of now but Im guessing 26, since thats the size of a regular arc. I think that the filler will be an entire arc within itself and progress into the current bleach manga arc once its all over. Im predicting that around the end of july or at the beginning of august, the filler will be over but its hard to say because bleach and its airing dates are unpredictable sometimes.

[sherenetms]

I want a new closing...but yeah, this episode....rocks, even though I cannot understand barely any word they say, atleast I've read the manga, heh. ^_^;


It's ok but i want a new closing too.

[Kenchan]

It was awesome, loved it!!! :headbang:

Leaves me hanging w/ so many questions though...
but most of all, now I am even more curious to see Ichigos Hollow come back out!

...How long does it take normally for it to come out w/ subs? (I started watching Bleach like 2 weeks ago, I was on Naruto/DeathNote marathon before)

[ryu-san]

well, overall a cool episode it was.

Aizen still pwned another captain, but in a cool way... although Komamura seemed a lot sad, he got ass-kicked with a Black Coffin.
Tousen is such a loser, first gets completely beat by Kenpachi, and now tries to be bad-ass.
Gin, well Gin still was himself. the coolest of the baddies as ever .. the moment the good guys came, he just nailed them to the soil with his reiatsu (hmm .. cool moment) - and giving a 20 cm of steel inside of the savior. plus he looked sad when he was appologizing to Rangiku.

i expected to see the other gate guardians, but helas. nvm, imo this ep is the best of the Aizen reveleance arc.
although Aizen is somewhat a nerd. didn't he get his mouth sore of blabing all 3 episodes non-stop about his "master plan".

[vittorio301]

Ahh...Marathons....I remember when I used to do those..too bad I started watching Bleach when it first aired.

The EP comes out tomorrow and there really isnt a set time by any subber group as to when an EP comes out. It just comes out..however..the GOod Folks over at DB usually sub by days ends and its tracker ready by Wed. mo'nin. But like I said theres no set date so dont get fussy if it aint subbed by wednesday or thursday ...or next week.

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

Aizen wouldn't be a super villain if he didn't monolog. He needs to explain to all the insignificant peons his plan because they're too stupid to understand it otherwise. It's such an intricate and devious scheme that no mere mortal can even grasp it's logic. Sosuke's intelligence is undeniable. Hell, the guy even wore emo glasses to accentuate this fact.

Marathons is all I know. Fer some reason I neva know of anime series till they have already come out.
i.e. I watched Naruto 1-157 in 7-9 days.

thanks fer info about the subbing though. I was goin to try and hold out and not read the manga (i hate spoilin it!) but alas I have NO patience so now i'm reading it! :redbiggrin:

[Maki Maki]

Outstanding ep, Kubotite accomplished a lot of things with this installment. Learned the tragedy of Rukia's childhood and Byakuya's connection to it. And unbelievably got to see Byakuya not only apologize to Rukia but even thank Ichigo for beating him, awesome! The power of Aizen was further exposed, this guy is not only evil incarnate but he has the horsepower to back it up! Aizen is so bad I wouldn't care if it took a thousand ep's to finally see him get his come uppins. If for no other reason I would watch them all just to see Aizen crushed, pulverized, destroyed and generally left to suffer for eternity in some horrible and unspeakable manner.

This story was so well done because it answered several questions and leaves other issues unresolved.

For example what is Aizen's relation to hollows, why are they helping him and his accomplices to escape SS? What will become of the Rukia/Ichigo/Renji triangle, will Renji do the right thing and back off?! What will become of Rukia, is she human now or will she return to being a shinigami? And what's the deal with Urahara, why wasn't he honest with Ichigo, Rukia and everyone else about what their mission was really about? Was Yoriuchi aware of all this too? Now that Ichigo and the other Ryoka are captured on soukyoku hill what will their fate be? Will there be a way for Ichigo to harness his hollow power to eventually defeat Aizen and the powers of darkness? When zangetsu came in contact with Aizen's sword is it possible he gained some insight on how to defeat this hypnotic ability?

I guess these and other questions will have to wait to be answered over the coming weeks and months. Definitely something I'm looking forward to!

[Kurosaki_pHiL]

wow, today is the big day! I sure hope that someone can sub this new ep in one day, but since it is one hour i kinda doubt it...

[UraharaTenchou]

Aizen wouldn't be a super villain if he didn't monolog. He needs to explain to all the insignificant peons his plan because they're too stupid to understand it otherwise. It's such an intricate and devious scheme that no mere mortal can even grasp it's logic. Sosuke's intelligence is undeniable. Hell, the guy even wore emo glasses to accentuate this fact.
so what does mean when he broke the glasses? lol..
the ep also showed the power of hadou 90, above, if we can get to see them.. like everyone else, aizen's power, the thing about urahara... really.. more question...some answered..and another side of byakuya of course, touched me greatly..

[vittorio301]

Yeah Byakuya is now THE man. I have respect for the worm now..well..I shouldnt call him a worm since he finally came to his senses.

Has anyone heard of the Bleach musical?? I know its out on torrent already but I wonder how long itll take for someone to sub it or IF itll be subbed. I hope they do cuz i wanna see it. Sweet patience of mine.
