| I really think that more people should start reading the manga... Because it's better than the anime. But anyways, nice episode :D |

Seriously . Bleach suffers from that like hell |

Seriously . Bleach suffers from that like hell no no no read the manga the top 3 espada inlcluding Starkk's looks more powerful in the manga when you read the manga in volumes though the anime version just made Starkk look weak like for example his wolf pack in the manga is bad ass and it doesnt have weakness like lillinette is part of the wolf pack and she will not dissapear if Starkk continue to use the wolf pack and in the manga it was a surprise final blow attack when that captain slashes Starkk the anime just drag it out a lot that made Starkk more weak looking and in the manga those 2 vaizards are heavily wounded with blood when they were attacked by the wolf pack so the anime studio is to blame here why Starkk seems so weak well it ended lets just hope for a Bleach Kai now in the future that will follow closely the manga |

Nuff said. |
| Sooo...wait. Aren't Hollows supposed to become regular spirits when they're "killed" by shinigami? Does that still apply to the Arrancar, or do they split back into the hundreds of souls that make them up? |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| So exciting. We are finally making progress now! |

Why are they making the bad guys seem good, Ugh -__- I hate this type of scenario. Nobody is 100% good or bad and I like this things. He didn't say they are 100% bad, he said "seem" not "is". |
| OMG R.I.P Stark&Lilinete they are now officially my favorite arrancars after watching this. Felt bad for those two -.-. That goddamn Shunsui taking away some of the two best characters! It was hard thinking of those two as bad guys |

Nobody is 100% good or bad..... in real so Kubo make this hero(s) little good. This make them little more realistic. flame_master_14 said: Sooo...wait.

I think it's like shinigami will become killed - they will be the part of buildings etc :D |
| Nice episode. Unfortunately we are gonna have a lot of fillers coming up since Kubo makes progress in the story in turtle speed. BTW people have to realize that not all captains have the same strength, that abilities also play part and that fighting isn't a mathematic equation being exactly calculated. Is real life like that? NO. You can see a boxer get his ass kicked and win easily against the same guy a month later. Also Ulquiorra was obviously stronger than the number put on his chest since Aizen had no idea of his second form. Last the 4 top espada are very close in reijatsu and they where only separated by what abilities Aizen found more interesting rather than clear speed and power in there hands and legs. |
| This. |
| Interesting episode. |

j_hoon said: i actully feel bad for stark and lillinette, any1 with me? I am! And I'm also agree with luccide (the end of second page). Stark died? WTF?! That second old guy had much more power than other two from the trinity (Stark-Lillinette and Tia) altogether! Disappointed. Poorly done. Stark died too easy. I mean..there was almost no action! Just a bunch of wolves (well, rather lovely wolves) and those plain guns (well, they also were wonderful, but the looks sometimes are everything that Bleach can offer, really...). It's not enough for number one. Even that green emo would do him (and without his second form!) And Aizen... that was sudden. It's not that I did't expect it from him, but it's like they just cut the summary. I bet they'll launch another filler in autumn. Let's hope it would be interesting. |

| What subs are you guys watching for this? |

We don't even know if Lilinet is dead yet. Bleach tends to leave characters behind that are defeated and then reveals 100 episodes later that they are still alive. Remember Nel and Grimmjow? lol |

| Really great episode , The Stark vs Kyouraku fight was pretty awesome and .. Aizen killed Hallibel?? well, waiting for the next episode.. |
| Starrk and Lilinette... T_T I didn't expect to actually feel sad at the death of one of the Arrancar. I was happy when arrogant Barragan bit it, though I understood him being hateful of Aizen. I'd be pretty hateful, too. It sucks that Harribel got betrayed, but she's kind of a witch with very little character development at this point. I suppose I'll change my mind with next week's ep, if she has some sort of compelling and sympathetic back story. *shrug* But OMG. O. M. G. Shunsui. *swoon* He made the episode. I've seen some people saying he wasn't dark enough in character while explaining his sword, but I thought they got it across quite clearly. He's killing people with children's games (!), and he offs Lilinette without even a hesitation. But he understands how horrible war is, so he's not a monster. But he's professional. I love him even more now. <3 Now, in Bleach, sometimes people who aren't shown clearly dying on screen will come back later... so ... did Starrk actually disintegrate when his hollow hole broke up, or is he just lying somewhere bleeding out? 'Cause I want him to come back! *sniff* |
 |
| And sooo dies stark in unfair fights and back attacking. RIP stark. you were great!! |
| Stark when he said im alone was so dang freakin sad, aizen is so predictable |

Dramon said: Stark disappointed me. I expected more from him. That, but conversely, Kyouraku was awesome. His zanpakuto's ability is pretty twisted. I think we're that much closer to maybe seeing a bankai now. Still, Stark really blowed. Espada No. 1? |
  |
| What are you people talking about? stark was great, only kyouraku was really strong. at least i think stark put up more of a fight than the other two and in the end he was alone (lilinete disapeared) and so he was defeated by kyouraku easily, don't forget that stark was probably a vaste lorde who split in two. But i don't get that why was stark in his arrancar form when he first met aizen...? |
| Poor Starrk, i actually felt sorry for him :/ And at the end, wow, just what i was expecting from Aizen :D |

| That's how Stark dies? seriously?? okay, kyouraku is really strong but you could still expect a bankai would be needed to take down Espada No.1,, and they really could have made the battle just a bit exciting,,, I'm awfully disappointed of Stark and Hallibel AtarashiiG said: But i don't get that why was stark in his arrancar form when he first met aizen...? good question! I'd like to think that there's something to it but at this point it's probably just another inconsistency issue.. |

| I liked Starkk and Halibel was okay, wonder if any of the espada have any chance of surviving. now comes the lame Aizen fight. Aizen really is the only truely bad one I guess even though the others are you know... Hollows. |
 |
| stark will be missed |
| I already knew what will happen , so this episode kept me satisfied with the action ^^ 4/5 |
 |
| wat the name of the ost that start at 10:20?

KingOmerta said: yh, but you have to remember that Stark & Linette had to fight Kyouraku Shunsui, he is one of the oldest & strongest captains.... Yamamoto Genryuusai (Head Captain) didnt even do anything but watch... lol because he would probably owned all the espadas in 5 mins... first 4 mins to lecture them then the last to kill them.... & the ownly reason they need Ichigo is because he hasnt seen Aizens sword Head Captain could easily kill Aizen if it wasnt for Aizen's complete illusion technique this may be so, but contrasting between strengths between espadas and captains is rather vague or non existent. at the very least toushiro...or whatever his name is should not have had as much trouble, especially in his bankai even if he is young. i think the author just wants to keep the top level captain bankais a secret. hell they even said that his bankai shouldn't be released. |
| I wanted to see the Bankai. Damn, that was disappointing. Oh well. Now Bleach should more interesting if Gin and Tousen fights are next. |
 |
| I liked the episode. Can not wait for the next upcoming events. I was bad and read the manga up to chap 415. I will not enjoy Bleach anime any less though! |
 |
| Bleach sure does lack emotion when it's animated. The past manga chapters during this arc seemed a lot more emotional compared to this. Slightly disappointed. Makes me wish I never went ahead to read the manga... |
| That Aizen is such a sick bastard. |

| Those were my favorite three espada :( And Aizen is obviously a latent homosexual for betraying Tia |
 |
| It was good, kinda sad about Starrk (him being all alone) and Aizen betrayed Halibel |
