This episode was ok, it wasn't all that I thought it would be, but still. I think that Ikkaku finally got some good press in this fight because lately he's been losing everything and this one just did him a service.
It was funny seeing Sasakibe's zanpaktou, I was really wondering the entire time whose that was. Isn't it kind of weird that they would reveal his powers in a filler though? It makes sense since his shikai is a fencing style sword and one of lightning's properties can be precision or accuracy.

Baldy is the man. One of my favorite characters. Other than his fight...the episode kinda stunk.

He reminds me of krillin from dragon ball. They both even commented that a real warrior shaves their head :P

Is anyone else starting to notice a pattern to how the shinigami can regain their shikai? It almost seems as though the more they are around thier Zanpakuto and express their personal characteristics (as thoroughly expressed by Ikkaku in being a man) then the more they are likely to use their shikai. Also it seems this is gonna be a really long filler (a good one though) purely based on the number of Zanpakuto that need be fought against and some that have yet to be shown to us like Shunsui's (outside of the opening and ending credits).

The section about Sasakibe's zanpakuto made me laugh. Soi Fon provoking him made it all the better. I was expecting her to provoke Komamura's zanpakuto as well though. I'm curious as to how she'll beat Suzumebachi.. Shunko seems to be the only thing she has that can help her at this point.

Why isn't Kira fighting Wabisuke? Or where is Hisagi? Kira's explanation of why Kazeshini is the way he is makes complete sense though. Hisagi has been trying to be excellent in every way as a shinigami. He was in the top of his class when Momo, Renji, and Kira(I think it was Kira anyway... It's been far too long to remember exactly) went through the academy, he is acting Captain for the 9th squad, etc.

This episode as tight not as much fighting as I was thinking there would be more action but I did love the fact that ikkaku got his zan back and how he kicked it's ass too haha
and mayuri's zan finally shows up lol I thought it was cute

But I really like the shinigami book at the end. So ridiculous

Hmm... Im hoping Komamura comes to get revenge on his Zan, also Maruyi's zan looks creepy. I curious to see how the fight will go.

Ikkaku's fight fas too short for such powerful combatants.If the other fights are as short as this one this arc will be done by episode 250.I'm suprised that Wabisuke didn't show up,but every character will have to come if the arc is to be finished.
