GDI Starrk.

Okay, more clear spoilers (trolled again):

Spoiler: show

Starrk is kicking the everloving shit out of Rose and Love even though they released, and he asks them to surrender "because the minute Aizen comes down and steps onto the ground..." Starrk is then stabbed through the back in the heart before he can finish.

Spoiler: show

If he dies after getting stabbed I will be very disappointed...

New filler ep is out via Dattebayo. Another really good episode! Renji's fight was really quite kick ass. And wow, Ichigo's "new" move is not bad either! I just wish they had some new kick ass music, instead of the same old recycled stuff. What happens when the anime writers are better than the main writer lately? :3

[BadKarma]

That Anime Ep is kickass. Also Muramasa is so emo, he makes skinny jeans cry.

[Odesseiron]

What in the hell was the Omake supposed to be about? I was quite confused.

[trinironnie]

heard the movie is out and subbed

[altwight]

Spoiler: show

muramasa wants ichigo to be his wielder!

I really have no idea. So random. >.>

Decent episode, but I have a feeling this might start becoming like the manga here shortly, where it will just be random people fighting every episode. I really hope not though.

Good episode, I'm actually looking forward to this ever week.

Some further clarification:

Spoiler: show

According to Sheetz (who is one of the more prominent translators) there is no mention of Aizen - Starrk is hovering over Love and Rose after they get their asses kicked and says "Giving up already?" He lowers himself to the ground and then is stabbed in the back.

Good, I was really interested in what he was going to say about Aizen and would have been disappointed to not hear it. Now that it doesn't exist, I'm happy.

[Guitarman]

hope it was ukitake or shunsui

You do know Kubo's the writer for this filler right?

[Kaylia]

It took 4 chapters to finish off number 3...stark wont go down in 1 chapter.

I thought only some of the designs of the swords in human form were his ideas, as he didn't have the time to write both the manga and the anime. I read that in a few places. Not saying it's wrong either way, I just heard otherwise.

It's not like writing what we've seen here or in the manga is the hard part. Hell, you could probably write out the general plot for 52 episodes with all the characters Bleach has at its disposal in a good day of work. The tricky part is just working on the pacing and then putting the thoughts/words into storyboard/manga/animation form.

I stand behind the belief that the manga suffered over the past year in part to possible pre-production of this anime arc. First he'd have to get the green light, then came the (re)design of the spirits, and then probably supervising it on top of trying to work on the manga. If he has a manga team, though, I'm kinda scratching my head on why things might've been so slow in terms of story progression.

Anyway, Kubo's said before that he's had tales he's wanted to tell in the Bleach universe but hasn't been able to due to restraints in the medium. And I will agree that manga is pretty limiting, even with a weekly release of 15-20 pages (Spare me the "Other series do just fine!" line). This also poses the question of whether or not it's actually canon since it came from Kubo himself. Purists will probably so no since it wasn't in manga form initially, but I'm inclined to say it is.

This is a story he designed and never had time to implement into the manga. He had never designed the spirits themselves until the filler.

Anyways, full spoilers from BA:

Spoiler: show

The two (Rose and Love) don their masks to confront the attacking wolves.

Rose goes shikai as well, "Play (kanadero), Kinshara (golden sal tree)".
His sword turns into a whip from the guard down. It bears a flower on the tip, maybe a rose.

Roses uses technique "Golden sal tree, the 11th sonata, 16-day-old moon rose".
As the tip of the whip hits an opponent, he touches the whip as if he plays piano, and the tip makes an explosion.

Even though the wolves are getting beaten, there're so many of them that it seems endless, [the tip] comes in contact with wolves and they explode.

Love still getting bombed speculates that these wolves came out of Stark's guns' magazines, thus they are a huge mass of ceros.

Here Stark comments that they are not ceros, they're split pieces of his own soul, they're like brethren in arms and lot of them obeys him becoming his weapon, these wolves are Stark and Lillynette, they are Primera, Stark Coyote and Lillynette Gingerbell's ability. Stark says that the victory in this fight is already decided, but if they just go and run for it, he'll spare them and leave them be.

Love who already lost his sunglasses by this time says, "Don't underestimate us!", and retaliates.

Starks standing on top of a telephone pole says that he doesn't enjoy finishing his opponent off, but in this case he's going to have to do it. And in this moment he gets stubbed from behind. The end.

Because the picture is blackened it's hard to say definitely, but the sword seems kinda too big. Also Stark got pierced below his hollow hole, so I don't think Stark could pull a Nnoitra on us [TN: meaning that even when Nnoitra got stubbed right into his left eye in his fight with Kenpachi, he took no damage due to his hollow hole being there]

I had this dream, that I was working at Subway (which I used to 6 years ago), and Aizen walks in. except he's only maybe about 3 1/2, 4 foot tall. he walks up to the counter, but I can only see him from the nose up because of the counter, and he asks for 12 cheeseburgers. I tell him we dont have cheeseburgers, and he responds "oh we'll see about that." and storms out of the store. He then goes to a brown Aerostar van outside, opens the back door, takes Orihime out of it, lifts her over his head and throws her through the window, then he runs away.

thought I'd share.
