Not bad, I enjoyed seeing Ikkaku using and fighting with his bankai against someone like Kenpachi. Even though I am aware of the strength difference, that was still too short for me.

4/5, would have been a 3/5, but I see that Nozomi did NOT one-shot the buffed up Regai Kenpachi as seen in the preview. Probably going to be some of that next episode though.
...Also liked the ending song : )

Lol joker. The thrillerish feeling of the manga atm is way better than this filler. And the Zanpakutou filler sucked at the beginning, only the later eps were decent. (Not including the beast swords stuff).

This episode wasn't bad, but it could have been better. I liked the fight between Ikkaku and the Reigai Kenpachi. Nozomi is really strong with her Zanpakuto. I wouldn't have thought that Nozomi is able to withstand Ichigo's Bankai. But I don't understand why was it necessary to resurrect the Reigais of the defeated Shinigamis.Maybe Kubo want to stretch out this arc because the actual arc in the manga is still running.

you know what, this arc is getting be my most enjoyable filler arc yet!! I was disappointing with ikkaku's fight, because (yes Kenpachi is BETTER) but Ikkaku got knocked out, single handedly... and then comes nozumi which beats kenpachi in one slash!!! :D
Still, a great episode!! xD
and also, i love what they did with the ED now, have recaps, looks and is good!!!

and imagine if she drains kenpachi's blows and uses it on someone else :0

If Ikkaku had somehow beaten Reigai-Kenpachi with his bankai (which Kenpachi has never seen), it would be awesome, but unbalanced.

Does nobody else think that it's a little dangerous for Ichigo to train with Nozomi if her Zanpakutou drains spiritual pressure?

I love how the entire Arrancar arc powered up Ichigo, then depowered him at the end.

I wish the fansubbers sttil gave a literal translation the first time we heard a new Zanpakuto name, I wonder what Arezomeshigure (damn what a mouthful) means? Probably nothing significant. Interesting look for the shikai form, as well.

Renji gets the recap treatment this week with the ED, though some of those scenes he wasn't actually in ... still, nice to be reminded of the good ol' days. I do still like this show, else I'd have dropped it after Beast Swords ... but man, Bleach circa 2011 is nothing compared to how awesome it was in Soul Society days.

It was kinda neat seeing Ichigo training someone else for once, and even flashing back to his own training sequences. It took him a little bit to realize that in Bleach, trying to actually kill someone (or at least making them think you are) is the only way to awaken their true power. Then he Bankai Getsuga'd the little tsundere, and voila! Insta-shikai.

A few other notes:
-Nozomi's miniskirt is HAWT. (Cue Col. Mustang's 'Tiny Miniskirts' remix)
-With Ichigo's unstable reiatsu, he really shouldn't be training with someone who sucks out people's energy
-Wish Ikkaku had figured out some way to win using his bankai ... then Nozomi just one-shots Kenny like a bitch
-I wonder, is fake Kenpachi's eyepatch also a reiatsu-devouring monster, or is it just there for effect?
-Hey, the kido guy showed up! The one who works in Urahara's shop, the one we never see anymore. Wonder if those kids are still around too.

Nozomi's shinigami outfit is the only thing that I like about her; why don't the other female shinigami's have her outfit D:? I also like her zanpakuto, but it has a weird shape.

Magic skirt ftw. I wonder why they always complain about the perverts, it's not like you could see something. Otherwise they wouldn't wear miniskirts when jumping around etc., or like when Rukia is stopping Kon with her foot in mid air while wearing skirt.

If she really does use the power of the attack she absorbed to attack herself, it's a lot like n Urahara's.

If she can do that, they should just power it up before each fight. It hasn't to be Ichigo, he should save his energy, but maybe Renji or Ikkaku with their bankai, or Rukia, her not having a bankai does not stop her anyways.

And it would have been really stupid if Ikkaku had won. He had no chance. The real Kenpachi beat guys way stronger then Ikkaku, like Nnoitra, or Tōsen/Komamura. And the fakes are supposed to be stronger. You could especially see that with Kenpachi, the real Kenpachi did never use Reiatsu to shoot, you only could see if it he removed his eyepatch. Which the fake didn't, if it still has an effect, nor did he use kendo.

So it's good that he didn't win, even if Kenpachi did not know his Bankai.

Weird, but I find this filler more interesting than Fullbring. I really didn't like the idea to begin with, how Chad and Inoue had these powers and suddenly they're like "It's Fullbring". It even contradicts the beginning, where they say Inoue got her powers by her contact with Ichigo. Probably just a stupid way to get his powers back. I mean, I would have hated it if it ended after Aizen battle, and Kubo has so much potential with his story, but he failed at furthering the story properly.

An okay episode..was more like a training episode haha The Ikkaku and Zaraki fight was good.. A dream fight actually where Ikkaku finally gets to reveal his Bankai..but I didn’t expect for him to lose that badly haha.. the next upcoming battles would be captain vs. vice captain and practicality.. it would seem impossible for a vice captain to win against a captain! Haha
Near the end, Nozomi showcased her Arazome Shigure which seemed to be powerful as a Getsuga Tenshou! :-D

Hmm I wonder if there's a meaning for Nozomi's short Hakama.

Heh? Ichigo pulled Bankai for the training? That's really overdoing it xD

I wonder what's gonna happen to Nozomi after the filler.. I'm starting to like her.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

Ikakku vs Kenny was awesome.

Yuup her zanpakutou just absorbs and sends back, also like Jushiro as well only his is slightly different so yeah just like Hanatarou.

Nozomi is cool, I can't believe she ran off but then her attack was awesome.

i feel like this episode is foreshadowing the fact that the purple-haired handsome narcissist who's friends with ikkaku (i forgot his name okay) is gonna have to use his zanpakutou in front of everyone soon? cause it looks like nozoumi has the same power. and i love her sword shape.

this arc actually gets better, I'm genuinely surprised.

safe to say it's indeed Bleach's 2nd best filler arc
