I won't spoil for you, but according to the Manga Bleach isn't over just yet. However, it's true that the anime is nearing the Manga, so I wouldn't be surprised if it went into fillers.

Agreed, only goku ss4 or whatever in DBGT, ichigo looked even more epic...
I don't expect justice. I expect revenge, even if it solves nothing in the end.
I don't expect redemption. I expect decadence and self destruction.
I don't expect compassion. I expect selfishness.
I don't expect people making choices. I expect a cruel fate forced upon them.

Not quite sure what to say about this episode. It wasnt as good as the last one but it was still really good.
So Ichigo loses his soul reaper powers but what about his hollow powers, does he still have them?!
If there is gonna be a filler arc it better be a good one because another like the bount arc would be hell for us all!

@Saruwataii -Ayumu - Both of his powers are combined into one, remember when Hollow Ichigo and Tensa Zangetsu merged into one. So yeah, both of his powers are gone.

@vaikepois - Think what you put in spoilers is wrong.

Here here to that... i dont know how i would stay sane. Let’s face it though we all know the damn dreaded filler arc is coming, so i may need steel myself for it.
However that ep was just “accendatially go into labor and give birth in the toilet" kinda shocking, it was the good stuff.

It's nice to see this animated, because this is truly a high point for Bleach, which is kind of sad, because it's only followed by an all time low... I can only imagine what kind of God-awful filler they're going to have after this arc...

I can't think of any time that bleach had such impressive animation

I think that making the Final Getsuga Tensho (or Mugetsu) a one-time only move is the best thing to do
If they made Ichigo use it more often, it'll make it feel weak (like how they did with Naruto's Rasengan)

They may go back to that hell saga. They had 1 episode on it then they went back to the regular anime. The anime has pretty much caught up to the manga now so they'll be wrapping up the ending of the anime for this season soon.

There is going to either be a massive amount of fillers or they'll stop animating Bleach for awhile until the manga gets far enough ahead that there is enough content to create another season.

If bleach ended in 2-3 more episodes I would probably give it a final score of 8, but I know its not and we are probably going to deal with another shit filler arc and the "story" will continue from there.

Urahara didn't killed him, he sealed him away.

His hollow powers are PART of zangetsu.


Zangetsu is like a coin.


One side of that coin is Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu, other side of that coin is Hichigo.

THE WHOLE COIN is Ichigo himself.


So yah , ichigo woul dloose all power he has. But!

that does not mean its the end of his powers

Remember, Ishida went through the same thing and thi ssituation paralels ishida's well:
- Ishida took up an angelic-looking form through a forbidden tech that unleashes all of your potential. Ichigo did the same, but took up a demonic looking form.
- Both forbidden techniques are meant to unleash one's potential, in result making them loose their powers. So in short, they are "shortcuts" to one's ultimate capability.
- Ishida managed to regain his powers. Ichigo will most likely too.
possibly, this means that they will still achieve a more complete final forms by the end of the series(as both of them are incomplete in some ways in their looks, like Ishida's had one only angellic wing) and thats the forms they will most likely use in the last fights of the series, be it against the enemy or each other(which would make sense, because they both mirror each other with demon/angel motif



Now this is NOT the end of bleach:
- We still have Mayuri's findings in hm and his whatever plans he has.
- Ryuuken is a fishy person. He obviously has some sort of plan or he would not try to force Ishida to separate himself from shinigami(read:enemy) side
- Urahara is Soul King's lapdog. It is also implied that if anyone witnessed the true existance of Soul King, they would want to go against it with all their might, just as Aizen did.
- Aizen is still (as of this episode) alive, just sealed. Frankly i woul dnot be surprised if ichigo had to break him out of the seal himself, for him to tag-team soul king. Aizen just fits as some sort of tragic hero who tried to change things by himself, but lost his way in process. A heroic sacriffice against enemy fits him now that his ego has been shattered by both Ichigo(the strength rival) overwhelming him and Urahara (the intellect rival) outsmarting him.
- There's also Isshin backstory, how he lost his powers, his past with Ryuuken and etc.

anime should be followed by filler arc now and possibly after 2 years or so of fillers, get a new title (BleachX or something with X)


And no this is obviously not the end. IMO this whole end of episode has set up that Soul King will be the final villain.


Aizen pretty much stated the logic shonen hero should have - to right the wrongs with one's own power instead of being subjugated by that.


This also possibly hints at Ichigo having to face urahara at some point of story.

To your spoiler

Besides Aizen was shown in the preview.
Also it seems that episode 310 will be the last in this arc, I don't think that they will start animating the new arc right now, so probably Bleach will be on-hold on my list for quite a long time, because if they'll make fillers, they'll be damn long.

Mixed feelings... for once the Aizen transformation was really really really impressive with the whole blood splatter and the heads growing out of his butterfly wings, I was pretty impressed. I also really liked the animation, the atomic mushroom and all were beautifully rendered.

But then comes Ichigo... big black hair, red eyes... come on! Did Kubo burn out all his originality on the first minutes of the episode?! :(

The kido part was a bit forced on my opinion.... like, xanatos roulette all over again. I regained some hope on the side cast (basically everyone not Ichigo) and the animation of the seal nearly made me forget my facepalm but still.

In the end I am just happy they are wrapping things up, I really feel it's the perfect moment for me to let Bleach go and I am happy I am ending with such high budget episodes.

Yes, but we already know originality is not Kubo's thing. Also, Ichigo looked like a homosexual version of Alucard, or even a gayer looking Hisagi. Bleach is no fun without Aizen and his pretentious trolling.

This episode is well animated like last one. I like how Aizen transformed into his last form(this blood etc).
Aizen's last powers seems to be more powerful than Ichigo's (before Saigo no getsuga/Mugetsu ).
In SnG, his sword appearance is somehow strange, but I like it. Mugetsu - I love this. No BGM but it's very good choice!

310 is normal, non filler episode.

Previous episode was such a blast so this one is not impressive compared to that. Even though, this much progress in a single episode is hilarious for Bleach. For example they could have split this episode into 3: Aizen's evolutions, Ichigo's fighting against it, and the final getsuga tenshou part.

Well, they didn't.

I hope it'll continue without fillers. I hope Ichigo regains his Shinigami powers.

Aizen good bye mon, awsome finally, didn't expect Urahara to show up and finaly end it. I think I waited this long just to see how they would finish Aizen off, but in the end they make him look like he was nothing after all. Trying to obtain something he could not, nor undrstand everything that he had wasn't even enough.
Will they be getting everything back to normal finally..
If they do filler stuff they could atleast find a way to bring back some people worth bringing back, one way or another, eigther realisticly or just showing some past of them. Like Gin's side of things through everything, or something with the Arancars past. Helibel's past or resurection in some way, dosn't have to be as a hollow/arancar.

A great episode, and it's nice to finally see this 7-year-long (10 years for the manga) "arc" come to an end. I personally dislike the fact that (as far as is currently known) Ichigo doesn't regain his Shinigami powers, but alas it's probably for the better (storywise) that he doesn't.

The anime is now very, very close to where the manga is in terms of progress. While I dislike the thought of not having a new episode to watch, if the anime were to continue airing (following the next episode) there's nothing it can possibly show except fillers, and nobody likes filler, and as such I feel it may be in the show's best interest to take a 3-4 year hiatus to allow the manga gain some ground. But again, that's just my opinion.

Welp it's time for a shit ton of filler episodes but I'm okay with that. Personally though I think they'd do better going on hiatus for a few months until the manga gets further along in the current arc or finished with it. There is nothing worse then a bad filler arc and Bleach has only had one good filler arc in my opinion and that was the Zanpakuto Arc.

I feel like we haven't heard the last of Aizen and it's probably going to be one more major arc in the manga after the current one is over and then Bleach should end because I mean what else is there to do? It'll just become repetitive and there's no reason for that.

Im content to what just happened, although the training was crap and ichigo really didnt deserve that power thats probalby why he lost it in the first place, even though i know it isnt, the battle energy was good, but the battle in itself was just average,... the conclusion to aizen felt just right as he was being sealed away, and without reason reason, I bet if there is a continuation ichigo will get his powers back is one of my guesses >.>
