I just watched the pendulum arc episode and I must say it looks like it'll be fun to watch. Glad they aren't totally filling up the void with filler and are actually doing something canon.

Did anyone watch the new ending? They have Orihime singing the song and when it shows her saying "zutto" near the end it's hypnotizing, I have no idea why.

YouTube - Bleach ED 18 - Sky Chord ~Otona ni Naru Kimi he~ [DL] - Ending 18

Probably because its the only part of the ED that has more than 1 frame per animation.

Pretty boring ep. It should be a crime to make Hiyori as annoying as they did...Anyway, again, one chapter = one episode. I liked the drawn out stuff last week, this week not so much. They're still keeping to the manga which is good.

To be honest, I always found Hiyori to be annoying. The only thing she's really good for is having 99.9% accuracy with headshots. Fucking aimbotter.

**Souj** · 2009-02-18 12:28

yeah, and didnt see a problem with how Hiyori was portrayed in this episode. sure she was annoying, but she's supposed to be. nothing out of character for her.

Silly bad guys, they never seem to learn to just end things quickly before the good guys pull some shit out of their asses.

**Nuriko** · 2009-02-18 14:02

I realize she's supposed to be annoying, I just thought it was above and beyond what I've come to expect from her character (as in, too drawn out, which obviously can't be help if they're doing one episode per chapter). I've enjoyed her character overall and found her normal annoying antics in the actual story to be amusing, just felt it was overkill in this episode is all :/

I was thinking the exact same thing. Ichigo will pull something outta of his ass.

Continues from the last chapter, Ichigo is shocked at how fast Ulquiorra is in his resurreccion form. “Once you transform into a hollow, the powers will increase so does the time to wear a mask. But,,,,to get destroyed this easily is such a shame.” Says Ulquiorra then he created another light sword and aims it at Ichigo.

A scene cuts to Ishida and Orihime. Ishida looks rather surprise over the sky for a while then turns around to Orihime who is staring intensely (but it wasn’t fear) at the sky as well. Ishida’s face soften and calls her. Orihime turns around looking surprised.

At first Ishida wanted to say, ‘I’m so glad you are ok.’ but he chose to keep it to himself. Instead, he smiles at Orihime and says, “It’s ok. Kurosaki won’t lose.” Upon hearing that Orihime’s concern/worried look disappeared. She nodded and smiles back at him. After seeing her smile, Ishida thinks, “The time I will say what I first intended to is when you have beaten that guy, Kurosaki.”

A scene returns to Ichigo and Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra’s sword hit Ichigo’s shoulder and he was about to fall off the dome. However, Ichigo manages to use his sword held onto the ground before falling off. Once he gains his balance Ichigo’s mask regenerated and he’s getting ready to fight again. Ulquiorra flies and comes face to face with Ichigo. Their swords clash then Ulquiorra says,

“Kurosaki Ichigo..use Getsuga.” Ichigo is stunt to hear that but Ulquiorra continues, “That is your strongest form, is it not? If Getsuga is your strongest attack, then use it to attack me. I will teach you the difference in our levels.” Upon hearing the challenge, Ichigo steps back and fires Getsuga Tenshou at Ulquiorra. However, it couldn’t even leave a scratch on Ulquiorra’s clothes. The worst part is he was simply floating and was’t in defensive mode. Ichigo could only mumble in disbelief how Ulquiorra is not harmed at all.

“Your kuroi Getsuga is a lot similar to our cero.” Says Ulquiorra.

“A cero? Don’t just assume something like that.”

“..Yes. You haven’t seen it. I will show you a cero of a released espada. A black cero.”

Ulquiorra’s finger is pointing at Ichigo, the black energy is swirling around it and he says,

“Cero Oscurus.”

And the black cero shoots right to Ichigo.

now that i think about it hasn't ichigo's bankai second ability been his black getsuga this whole time?

No, if I remember reading correctly, it's another form of Getsuga origionally used by Ichigo's hollow form when he takes over Ichigo's body during his fight with Kuchiki, which Ichigo watched, and then just copies it from his hollow.

Unless of course, it was a Bankai ability that Ichigo didn't know how to use until he saw his hollow form use it.

**Xno Kappa** · 2009-02-19 20:07

I really think Kubo is just leading everyone down a road of disappointment with this Ulq toying with Ichigo shit. Something epic better happen besides Ichigo pulling a win out of his ass or another "Here comes a new challenger!" type shit.

This somewhat sums it up, spoilering it because of 4 pictures:

To me it doesn't seem like Ulq wants to kill Ichigo. Either that or he just wants to test how strong he can become against him.

Ulq knows Ichigo is stronger than him, he keeps comparing ichigo to a hollow/espada and when he isn't doing what he is capable of calls him a mere human.

He's trying to push him with words, and show him what hollow/espada are capable of - maybe causing ichigo to do it back.

If he was smart, he'd go after orihime and cause Gohan rage in ichigo. Maybe pick off one of his friends, or all of them one at a time. I really really really don't want to see a captain step in. This is ichigo's fight, this is his rival. Maybe grimjow could make an appearance by just yelling at ichigo and telling him what he is lacking or something. Ichigo needs to get his powerup and use that open faucet like he does. Something needs to happen with him. I've wanted to see Orihime go nuts for a while now but I'm more looking for Ichigo to do it in this fight, in this situation.

**Souj** · 2009-02-20 12:35

Ulquiorra is defeated by Ichigo after Ichigo gains his new strength from Ulq's taunting.
Ulq's last words: "good... now you stand a better chance against Aizen. you must stop his plans!"
