C&C - Bleach - "The Bount Assault! The Gotei 13 of Destructive Earthquake" [12/20]

[Mugen]

A new episode airs tonight at 1 AM Eastern.

[Don_East]

Ugh, I have a bit of a cold, so I better do the recap now.

Last Time: Jin & EpcarBount pwn some LTs with pachinko balls. Ichigo & Co. seek Kukaku's aid, Ichigo pulls out the old "Rukia's Bad Drawings" stchick which we haven't seen in quite a while. Ichigo & Ganju getting chased/beaten up by Kukaku brings an Osaka-esque smile to Orihime. Kon gets into some kar-razy anitics. Ririn acts annoying, as usual, and runs off. And Rukia rands into the green haired bount girl.

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: That strong, tough and grey kid sure plays a mean pinball.

[Don_East]

I may be sick, but nothing will stop me from watching Bleach.

SHOWTIME!

[Kitschensyngk]

I may be sick, but nothing will stop me from watching Bleach.

Orihime: the pain reliever otakus use most.

The Good, the Bount and the Ugly.

Pay no attention to the bird behind the crate!

[Don_East]

Orihime: the pain reliever otakus use most.
I tempted put that in my sig. She is one of the reasons I've been 91-1 when it comes to watching this show on Saturday.

I don't know why, but I think that bount with the sword & fan seems like something out of Soul Calibur.

Hey, Rukia has a fight, by herself, that's unheard of.

[Megaman X]

I think this Bount is trying to seduce Rukia..

[LordTerminal]

That fan can make female Soul Reapers fly off in a manner that defies all physics!

Well someone's been playing Street Fighter.

[Kitschensyngk]

Cripes. Her weapons are mocking you.

[zoombie]

It begins, I don't know who is more annoying, Yoshi or that sword of hers.

[Don_East]

Hey, Rukia has a fight, by herself, that's unheard of.
Nevermind, she's getting help by Ririn of all people. Geez, Orihime makes sense, but Rukia is getting bailed out that Chicken Little.

[Kitschensyngk]

Nice one.

Sucks she could regenerate.

The Bount's gone mad with power! She's gonna eat the Chort!

[LordTerminal]

"Witness the strife of my life's devotion."
Yeah she definately belongs in a Soul Calibur convention with a line like that. Or possibly a Square-Enix convention.

You know, I'm starting to think Bounts are more closely related to cockroaches than vampires. I doubt the Soul Society even has an equivalent of an A-bomb let alone using it actually having a chance of working on these things.

[Kitschensyngk]

She and the bird make a good team.

LADY! STAY DOWN!

[zoombie]

It looks like Rukia gets the first shot at fighting a Bount.

BTW Rurin said Yoshi would turn into a moster, well she was already a monster to begin with.

[Megaman X]

Yep when all hope is gone, scream for Ichigo to come save you at the last mil second.

[Don_East]

Yeah, this is getting tiresome. GHB atttacks, Rukia counters, GHB regenerates, and so on and so on and so on.

"Witness the strife of my life's devotion."
Yeah she definately belongs in a Soul Calibur convention with a line like that. Or possibly a Square-Enix convention.
"Welcome back, to the stage of History."

Meanwhile, in another... Wait, this all takes place in the same dimension.

[NelStone]

I am actually liking the fight. There's a bit of frantic strategy involved. It's not really working, but still...

[Kitschensyngk]

Here comes the cavalry!

How can you protect yourself from projectile chain weapons? DON'T STICK YOUR ARM OUT!

Can you fight a Soul Reaper with one hand tied behind your back?

[Don_East]

YAY! It's the girl that's responsible for my nomination for "Biggest Fanboy/Fangirl" at the TZ Awards. And she's gone, what a bit part.

OT-Kitschie, I love that avatar, Azumanga Daioh is hilarious.

[Kitschensyngk]

Hey! I think I've seen her somewhere before.

Great. Now we've innocents involved.
Knowing her, she'll off the girl whether or not you do what she says, so you're pretty much screwed.

[Don_East]

Oh come on, that's playing dirty! Can someone decimate this Bount please.

[Kitschensyngk]

And now the screaming starts.

Big Brother!

[Don_East]

You know, I'm never been so glad to see Byakura.

[LordTerminal]

Looks like Big Brother's here to save the day.

[Radical]

Yay! my next favorite cool chick fight episode comes today:Dnext to my other two favorites(the SoiFong vs. Yoruichi & Rukia vs. Orihime ones:anime:).

The Highlights:

This will be great to see Rukia fighting alone against a tough opponent but by getting help from stupid annoying Ririn:shrug:,poor Rukia.

I love sexy Yoshi & her weapon dolls Nieder which they're strong/powerful:evil:which they put up a great tough fight against Rukia,but she can be rotten/nasty at times towards her opponents & picking on poor young kids.

Poor Rukia:(,but she had a really great tough fight against a nasty powerful Bount opponent which she's fought hard & had some cool powerful attacks/strategies.

Interesting that Byakuya showed up to save his sister when she's endangered which it's nice that he finally cares for his sister ever since when he lost to Ichigo(of course it was disgusting of Byakuya to see his sister die in the execution part before when Awesome Ichigo saves her,which he was a huge jerk in the beginning).

Nice Ririn abuse which she needed that kick from Yoshi(love that part),but at least stupid Ririn was useful though.

Ah oh,the Bounts are attacking the Soul Society,not good for our heroes.

Good job cute sweet Orihime,your healing abilities will always amaze us.

Yachiru was so adorable/hilarious in this episode's Shinigami Golden Cup,I love her.

Those were great comments Don East,I hope you get better:anime:.

Sucks there's no new Code Geass,stupid Adult Swim,but I'll see Shin-chan & Death Note today then(my other favorites).

[Don_East]

Come back here and fight you... Aw crap. That does explain the title though.

[NelStone]

Thank you, Byakuya. Though I wish he had killed her.

[Kitschensyngk]

This Seireitei to be demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.

And no new Code Geass till 2009. Saturday ratings will plummet 2%.

[Megaman X]

Byakuya should of killed Yoshi >_> seriously can't stand Ms. LAWLZ I GOT A SWORD AND FAN AND GO ALL NEW FORM WHEN I FEELZ LIKE IT.

Oh and it looks like the Soul Society is now getting bombed..

[zoombie]

The fight was a little underwealming. Can't wait till our heros get their revenge.

[garfield15]

So....does Yoshi have more than a passing interest in Rukia...cause when she moved her sword there....

What Byakuya was thinking as he saved Rukia
Byakuya: (thinking) And the fangirls go nuts....

It seems all of those Bounts have a thing or Rukia, at least two of them.

[Hyper Shadow X]

Nice to see Byakuya appear at the end there to bad he didn't kill Yoshi.

[PickHut]

These Bounts have a nasty, annoying habit of running away from fights... As for the episode, it was actually a nice watch. It didn't come off as repetitive as some past Bount fights did, even with Rukia's disadvantage.

[Kitschensyngk]

Team Ichigo vs. Team Bount
Second Stage, Round One
Moody Reaper vs. Ms. Talks-to-a-sword

Official Result:
Moody Reaper wins by forfeit, Team Ichigo leads series 1-0

[Dark Moridin]

Yeah, as others have said, this was an underwhelming fight that ended in the Bount going splitsville. Oh, and being the distraction for an attack on the Seritie (don't know how to spell it). But yeah, totally didn't see that coming (/Sarcasm/).

I am glad to see that I wasn't the only one to notice that this Bount has a 'thing' for Rukia. Second episode in a row that she said she was getting 'excited' about something Rukia did, only this time, she couldn't decide on whether to fondle her or give her breast reduction surgery. Seriously, while psycho, evil or just plain crazy would fit her, she is sadistic to a tee. And while the animation wasn't all that great, the version of the martial arts that she is using (modified Soul Calibur/Reaper fighting style?) seems to fit her want to inflict pain and damage to who or whatever she is trying to hit.

So, now we know that hunting outside for the Bounts was a ruse, are we going to find out how they got in and were able to cause damage. Hope they don't skip that until the end of the next episode.

[garfield15]

Which, honestly, wouldn't take that long at all (OH SNAP!)

[Megaman X]

YoshiXRukia fanfics are being made as we speak...yep..AS WE SPEAK...or..type.. or...whatever.

[MezzoDragon]

Rukia is already flat, she doesn't need breast reduction. Fondling her may help, though I believe Rukia rather be fondled by someone she likes.

[Luna]

What Byakuya was thinking as he saved Rukia
Byakuya: (thinking) And the fangirls go nuts....:anime: ...Yeah,that seems about right (he seems like the type who on the outside dislikes attention/affection while he secretly loves it)...Would've been cooler if Renji saved Rukia,though (just sayin'...we keep getting slight Ichigo/Orihime hints,and I want some more for Rukia/Renji)...

I'm kinda surprised by this episode....Ririn was actually useful for once :eek: ....even if it was only as a diversion...and it was interesting to see Rukia fight,even though it seems like the green-haired female Bount is pretty much indestructible (it kinda sucks that since it wasn't revealed in the manga at the time,we don't get to see Rukia's Zanpakuto/powers...the fight would've probably gone a bit better if Rukia could use her sword)....Ichigo being concerned for Ririn was cute (though frankly,since she's in a stuffed animal body,she couldn't really be hurt unless her pill got damaged,right?)

I hope the Bount (and her weapons) get taken out soon...they all really bother me...

Just thought of something. With anime, especially ones that don't make it to America (unedited) it is usually a very effeminate male who is hitting on one of the male heroes, but this time, it is slightly masculine female, getting excited over another female.

Would anyone call this progress?

[Baby Naruto]

This episode was exciting, I got to see Byakuya Kuchiki use one of his famous attacks on that creepy bount lady that was attacking Rukia :D.

Can't wait to see what happens in Episode 94 next weekend ^_^.

1. This is Japan we're talking about. It's not progress, it's just fanservice for guys. (nothing wrong with that though)
2. It's filler so technically, this doesn't exist.
