Relatively good animation in this one. Quite enjoyed the fight in the beginning.
Finally someone mentions the Soul Chain again. WHY DID THEY NOT TRY THAT ON AIZEN. I was starting to think Byakuya just made stuff up all those hundred episodes ago.
...AND THE STRAP THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT BUT KON AND APPARENTLY ICHIGO. CATCHING IT BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND IS NOW MORE VITAL THAN DEFEATING THE BAD GUY.
More pretty decent animation. Sweet.
...WAIT, DID I SAY PRETTY DECENT? THIS IS VERSUS ULQUIORRA QUALITY. DAT GETSUGA TENSHO.
So that was the final fight? Hm. One thing I thought I learned this arc is that it doesn't end, it just goes on, and on, and on, and on. Even if it looks like it will end there. And there. And please, there.
Anyway, plot going on.
Muscular man suddenly getting Nozomi's voice. He he he.
Sorry, plot.
Again with the finish us off. You know, Ichigo wouldn't last in a real war, he's used to the good guys not dying. Come on, she can't possibly stay around after this arc anyway. And if you can live without that girl from Memories of Nobody, then you can live without this tsundere.
Oh, right, the plan. The Soul Chain thing.
Kon could have yelled about it while grabbing the strap, but he waited till now. Oh well.
...WAIT, ICHIGO SWINGS HIS SWORD? I DON'T THINK THAT'S HOW YOU CUT ONE'S SOUL CHAIN AT ALL. YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CUT HER SHOULDER OFF, YOU DOUCHE.
...It's blocked. Oh well. I guess that's best.
He's going to destroy everything. Wow, even Aizen didn't go there. This'll end well.
Aaaaand... Wow, those were quite some eventful nine minutes.
AFTER THE BREAK: KAGEROZOMI CONTROLS EARTH AND BUILDS A FRIGGEN FORTRESS IN SECONDS WHILE YELLING IN EXSTACY (?).
WHILE SUCKING OUT THE ESSENCE OF SOUL SOCIETY SOMEHOW, HE INTERRUPTS THE OTHER BATTLES THAT WE COULDN'T SEE.
KAGEROZOMI GOES ALL MARS ATTACKS AND USES HEAVENLY LAZORS TO DESTROY SS. KENPACHI APPROVES.
...Oh right, his name is Ouko Yusima. Thanks old dude.
WE INTERRUPT THIS ARMAGEDDON FOR FAKE UKITAKE STORYTELLING TIME.
Now they're all cooperating. Great.
That's a suckish way to die. Can't say I didn't think of that possibility though. Using deus ex Machina on the huge inpenetratable threat AND killing off all the fake guys we will never see again, in one go. That's effective storytelling.
And Nozomi commits suicide, too. That way we get rid of all of them.
Oh wait, she didn't? Aw, oh well. It'll happen one way or another.
Now he goes all sad while his clothes burn up, just like all the Bleach bad guys :P
...Aaaaand they take another chance to explain how important friends are.
To be fair, that guy didn't really have a chance to get friends or respect. The cruel ways of Soul Society created this mess.
Will it make way for change? Absolutely not. But we learned that bullying is bad.
Again with the cutting, Ichigo. You really WANT to kill them both :D
HOLY CRAP THEY ACTUALLY SEPARATED. SOMEONE BETTER EXPLAIN THIS.
Hm. I can't read animated lips. I wonder what she said.
And for the obligatory Nozomi and Kon scene. She'll die now.
...Yeah, she dies. Because they're not gonna repeat the mistakes they made in the Boutn arc.
Oh, so what she did was actually to commit suicide? *victory dance*
Oh, so that's what she told him.
...Couldn't she just have been his friend to begin with? xD
Who knows, maybe that would've prevented the ALMOST DESTRUCTION OF SOUL SOCIETY.
...AND SHE TAKES THE STRAP. xDDDD
This makes me laugh for some reason.
"now everything is fine, and it's all thanks to you~" Yay!
We'll be friends forever.
YEAH. IT'S ALWAYS FRIENDS, IS IT. THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
And now, what we've been waiting for the whole week...
The end credits! With Aizen! :D
He's been doing a lot of crap, hasn't he.
Ahhhh, Deicide arc. Man I loved it.
