^I wish the show would keep up with the manga, cuz I would really love to see all that animated. I saw pictures of what Aizen was doing to Orihime on LJ. People were making it their OTP.

Aizen is just a giant sleaze ball. It's way to obvious he likes making people squirm.

Wow! I am enjoying Bleach again! I love how the other captains are in Karakura town to protect it and fight there. And HITSUGAYA IS BACK!!!! It's about time that Bleach get moving again!

hmmm i'm kinda torn, on one hand it seems like we're moving toward the "end game" finally and on the other... it just seems like he's transitioning from big fight to big fight with no plot development.
Seriously, what's Tatsuki and co been doing? Vizards? what's their role in all of this. Lets not forget about Ichi's dad and Urahara.
Right now i'm predicting that Aizen has some sort of super solider/technique/unknown hoards of minions which will allow him to fight all the various forces in the real world to a stand still. Cause right now I don't see how he could win if all the SS captains, Vizards, Urahara's faction fight against him.
The other thing that confuses me is Urahara, what's his game? I thought he was in exile but he seems to be willing to follow order given by SS. Why can't he go back to SS? Why'd he leave to begin with? He seems like he knows everything that's going to happen, he knows bout the Vizard in a round about way just like he knew about the arrancar.
One thing that's starting to bother me about Ichigo and Orihime is their willingness to "save" Hollows. Another question is do hollows/souls killed by an arrancar's zampakto go back into the rebirthing cycles?
I mean that's what happens with a Shinigami's zampakto kills a hollow they get to move back into the rebirthing cycle.
After watching the 1st bleach movie, it seems like there are other spirit realms we're not aware of that could be brought in rather deus ex machina like.

What a great post Attonbitus!
I have to agree with the whole battle to battle issue you have- cause I have it too! I have lost count as to how many times Ichigo has been beaten so badly he should be dead. I think Kubo has a consistency issue with power. He wants it to appear that a character has a certain level of powers and then oversteps what he already stated.
*SPOILERS AHEAD* Kenpachi comes to Hueco Mundo and pairs off with Nnoitra after Ichigo can not stand up to him. Granted, Ichigoi has already fought several battles that lead up to him facing Nnoitra, but didn't Ichigo already beat Kenpachi in SS prior to learning Bankai and developing his hollow powers?
Not the best example I can come up with at this given moment, but the first one that comes to mind.
I'll do my best to answer this one.
Uruhara was exiled from SS because of the creation of the Hougyoku. Uruhara had developed it in hopes of being able to make Hollows into Shinigami- instead of just killing them. It was deemed dangerous and Uruhara was ordered to destroy it. Instead of destroying it, he hid it within Rukia. It is rumored he hid it in Rukia because he wanted to conduct further studies on it when it's true powers had finally awoken.
The reason he still abides by SS wishes is left pretty foggy. We are left to assume that he 'privately' works for the SS by doing research in Kurokara under the guise of his primary work- outfitting Shinigami with supplies they might need while in the living world. A theory that has always circulated speculates that Uruhara is likely kept active secretly (as well as Yuroichi) by Yamamoto.
The reason he knows about all sorts of things and events is because he was once the head of Research and Development (12th Division) Research had always been his forte- even Yuroichi comments on it in the Soul Society Arc when she takes Ichigo to the training area her and Uruhara made as kids.
I am hoping that with Aizen's attack on Kurokara Town, the Vizard's actually take part in this battle. They clearly state that they do not fight for Shinigami nor Hollows... but will this impending doom be enough to change their minds? I'm hoping so, or the entire Vizard arc was a waste of time other than giving Ichigo the ability of using his Hollow abilities for all of 11 seconds.

I still think Ichi's Vizard mode is pretty crappy. Especially after seeing Kenpachi own the espada with a two handed strike. Just goes to show that Ichi's overwhelming power needs more refinement into new techniques.
I'm hoping he get's taught by his dad cause Captain Dad did that speech to the king fisher arrancar about how bigger doesn't mean crap if you can't control it.

I have a feeling Ichigo is going to find out about dear ol' Dad once he returns to Kurokara Town. Granted you have the remaining Gotei 13 there... but if they are going to rely on Uruhara for support, why wouldn't they need the help of any available shinigami? Besides, from the look of it, it seems Isshin was pretty high ranked- the design on the bottom of his captains haori seems to match that of most Gotei 13 Captains . And I do believe the subtitle on that screencap I just took matches what you were saying about zanpakutou sizes.

just read 315
well it turns out that through magic of super plot or whatever, SS + Urahara was able to make an exact replica of the town on the outskirts of Rougki (i don't know how to spell it). This allows the captains to fight all out with out fear. Also turns out that all the towns folk are "sleeping" so they'll never be the wiser. Now i'm wondering if all the spirit aware people got moved as well. What about the Vizard?
Aizen's still a punk saying he'll just crush the captains and vice captains then go make the key in SS instead. Also seems like Uliq... (he needs an easier name to spell) the number 4 espada has broken free and probably has orders to keep the SS force in the hollow world busy.
Now here's where i'm really starting to dislike Ichigo. Kenpanchi says, you don't have to worry about the town cause they've got it covered but Ichi pretty much says that saving his best friends is more important than saving the world. I would have been so EASY for Kubo to Ichi say, to say that since they can't get out he's not going to sit on his Equus asinus and goes to save Orhime.
Instead, because of what was said I forsee Aizen being able to possibly manipulating Ichi fairly easily if he chooses to.
Don't get me wrong I love my anime heroes hot blooded and wanting to save everyone, but at a certain point it just gets ridiculous. Seriously, ichi already got own pretty hard by Uliqu already and there's nothing that's happened to make us change our minds that he could beat him in a one on one fight.
How bout regrouping with everyone (maybe see if Rukia is alright, hell even Chad because seemed to be dieing a few minutes earlier) cause I don't see Uliqu being able to beat Ken, Byakuya, and Captain mom.

Well so far in bleach, I find that Grimmjow is very obsessive with destroying Ichigo, and that Ichigo's dad is A very powerful Shinigami, I'd like to see him take on Aisen.

If the "Townspeople" are sleeping, what about Tatsuki (who seems to have spirit powers growing) and Ichi's dad? Are they sleeping too? I highly doubt it.

Maybe it was just me but I didn't see Nanao with the earth bound SS group. I wonder if they left her in SS or she's just off screen.

The bound filler arc has been over for a while now and they're covering the manga material again. That being said all the manga material has been one big fight after another.
Personally, i just follow the manga nowadays just because i've spent so long following it.
