C&C- Bleach - "Reopening of the Substitute Business! The Terrifying Transfer Student"

[Megaman X]

Alright time for the new arc!

Bleach is on at 12:30am and 1:00am eastern with TWO brand new episodes.

Last time: Ichigo and his friends thoughts begin to drift as they think back to Kariya and his plans. Rukia begins to remember the day right before she met Ichigo and thinks back. Ichigo also starts to think that maybe the main thing about Kariya was that.. everyone needs power in order to survive. It's also revealed that Koga the bount survived and him and Rantao are going to go into hiding.. or so it seems anyway. Ichigo and his friends head home but.. in the night..a mysterious person stands... with the quote ""Well.. well.. what a charming city.."

Today: Ichigo and co return to school but.. strange things begin to happen.. one which is.. a transfer student.

NO SPOILERS AT ALL: If you wish to discuss future events go to the anime forum. Spoiling others on your thoughts is not fair for new watchers, even if you don't care at least have a heart for people who like to be surprised these days.

Note: You know it makes me kind of sad that ending 10 is going to be butchered up as it's my favorite ending of the series. Seriously I don't know why but I just like it the most.

[Rocketboy]

A note to dub-only watchers.

AVOID THIS ENDING LIKE THE PLAGUE! KNOWING HOW THE ENDINGS HAVE GONE, IT WILL REVEAL THE BEST TWIST IN THE SERIES BY FAR!

Luckily though, it will be revealed in the following episode.

[FireStarterLE]

*looks at schedule*

10 weeks until 10 more filler episodes start. But why ruin the fun that starts this week by saying that ...

Well anyways, can't wait to hear the new cast members!

[Rolling Cloud]

I really hope the new guy's voice has improved over that sample. >_>

[zoombie]

It is hard to imagine this new guy sounding the same way through out, given how the situations change back and forth. In the last episode, he was in a serious mysterious mood, but he is not always like that.

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: ...last time? Last time never happened. As far as canon is concerned, anyway.

[Don_East]

As we head towards canon, let's take one last look at the fill with this recap.

Last Time: Well, what do we get for closure to this hackneyed story arc? Pointless flashbacks that has nothing to do with what occurred. This includes Rukia being assigned to the longest one week assignment of her life, Renji being transferred to squad 6, and Ichigo's day before he met Rukia. Now while those were interesting, save for Renji's(what's the flippin point?), they had nothing to do with the Bounts, the Jokai crest, Rantao, or anything to that would tie up some loose ends. BTW, EpcarBount is still alive for reasons that are even unknown to his savior, Yoruichi. Ichigo gives some monologue about Jin and his life after this as he and his friends leave Rukia and co again to go home and live happily (or as close as these kids can get to) ever after... OR DO THEY? Our episode ends with a mysterious kid with blonde hair showing up in the same fashion as Rukia in episode one! Is he good, is he bad, tune in tonight find out!

SHOWTIME!

[warnerbroman]

this better be good I hope this get better ratings

[NelStone]

Break outta your shell, boy!

--On second thought, get back into your shell, ugly.

[warnerbroman]

"breast" chizuru entrance ever

[Strollymonster]

Hyper-aggressive lesbians can improve any situation.

[Don_East]

Wow, this feels so weird. Everything is so normal. Keigo is still annoying Chizuru is still horny for Orihime, and Ichigo's dad is nuttier is fruitcake.

[Kitschensyngk]

"I see that you have found yourself a nice spot on the floor."

Team Ichigo, assemble!

Chad a beauty? Orihime a beast? What type of standards does this guy have?

Lesbian Kallen strikes again.

"A-breast of the situation"? Please, no puns.

In a world of cell phones, who has a PAGER?!!

[NelStone]

Ha! "Abreast of the situation."

Bathroom break!

Did... did the forum just momentarily kill itself for anyone else?

[Strollymonster]

Chizuru is still horny for Orihime

Who ISN'T?

[Kitschensyngk]

Did... did the forum just momentarily kill itself for anyone else?

Hiccuped on me, too.

Poser. Suddenly he wants to go to the bathroom because it's cool.

[Don_East]

Chad a beauty? Orihime a beast? What type of standards does this guy have?

For Keigo's sake it better be the other way around. Or else... :evil:

:lol: Bathroom excuse! :anime:

A breast of the situation? No puns Tatsuki, this is not Rave Master!
Who ISN'T?
SuperDudeX... Freak :rolleyes:

[animePWNS]

The toilet humor's getting a little out of hand here.:shrug:

[zoombie]

Man we have to wait through a commercial to see Ichigo and the others meet the new guy.

[Rolling Cloud]

"Inoue, women are supposed to hold it in till they can't hold it in anymore"
----
"Orihime, don't run like that."

x_x

[Kitschensyngk]

Pork...the other Hollow meat.

Chad's just slacking off.

[NelStone]

Oh hey, it's Ganon.

No, guys, don't help him or anything. heh

And there's the newsie again.

You got your filler in my canon! You got your canon in my filler!

[Don_East]

BACK TO ACTION!

Orihime, you startin' to have a little darkside to you! :p

Oh great, I forgot we have to say good bye to these three idiots.

[warnerbroman]

I like beef
so those things are canon

[Strollymonster]

Why is Mello guest-starring on Bleach?

[Kitschensyngk]

Welcome to the dark side, Orihime. :evil:

Oh great, I forgot we have to say good bye to these three idiots.

Hey, they're not so bad once you get to know them!

Freak with a bowl cut.

Lay off of Kon! He hasn't had any in weeks!

"This lion ain't lyin'!"
OY! NO PUNS!!

[warnerbroman]

those TEEF!

[johnny139]

Wait, these guys are still around? GET BACK TO THE FILLER! BACK! :p

Y'know, it is weird to see Ichigo and the gang back in class, with ties, and... pants, for that matter.

[animePWNS]

So those guys are here to stay?

Another Shinji?

[Kitschensyngk]

And now, ladies and gentlemen...Nabeshinigami.

Why are these transfer students always a little weird?

[Strollymonster]

Why is it the Hollows just don't go attack Canada? We haven't seen any Canadian Soul Reapers.

Seems silly that they'd keep focusing on Japan when it has like the world's highest concentration of Soul Reapers.

[Don_East]

"This lion ain't lyin'!"
OY! NO PUNS!!
Bleach characters, please, you're a show with standards! You don't have to play to that base.

[animePWNS]

The Japanese celebrate Halloween too?

Afro Samurai -- er, Soul Reaper

But it seems we have a Bowl Cut Samurai...

[Kitschensyngk]

Lock up your daughter, lock up your wife
Lock up your back door, run for your life
The Kon is back in town
So don't you mess around...

Is he a Hollow or a revived Egyptian mummy?

[Don_East]

"I hope you haven't forgetten me..."

The fact you haven't been seen for two years doesn't help.

[animePWNS]

So what's NMNL mean?

Mother killer is back!

[Strollymonster]

God, the blonde guy has the most unappealing character design I've ever seen.

Also, WHY DOES URYU HAVE TO UNBUTTON HIS SHIRT TO FIGHT?

[Kitschensyngk]

So what's NMNL mean?

"Nominal"?

[warnerbroman]

Vy-zard?

[Don_East]

Uyru fangirls, start your droolin.

[NelStone]

God, the blonde guy has the most unappealing character design I've ever seen.

I keep expecting him to say "And I've been very... naughty." :p

[Kitschensyngk]

Uryu nearly got a tongue-lashing there.
Great. Now they've got me doing it.

"Uryu...I am your father."

Tune in next week to find out what happens next.
Oh, wait, WE DON'T HAVE TO!

[johnny139]

Wow, good for Uryu. He's like a blue-haired, glasses-wearing, Japanese Batman!

[warnerbroman]

Ryu-ken?

[Game Freak 4]

Ryu-ken?
A Shotoclone, perhaps?

[Strollymonster]

I don't watch Bleach often, but I would if it simply followed the adventures of Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chizuru as an anti-Hollow group.

It would be adorable AND full of lesbian fanservice.

Truly, the greatest innovation to Japanese animation since Akira.

[Rolling Cloud]

Vy-zard?

Vizard (Glad I can use that on this board, now)

and wow, didn't expect them to spoil that.

[Zekehawk]

Wow, good for Uryu. He's like a blue-haired, glasses-wearing, Japanese Batman!

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[zoombie]

The Vizard, one of the most awsome groups in the series, I am so happy they have finally come. Shinji is awsome once you get to know him.

But the credits really spoiled a lot of things.

[Demonic Raven]

Vizard (Glad I can use that on this board, now)

and wow, didn't expect them to spoil that.Visored, if we're going by the official Viz translations.

[warnerbroman]

those TEEF!

[FireStarterLE]

Vizard (Glad I can use that on this board, now)

and wow, didn't expect them to spoil that.

actually Viz changed the spelling to "Visored"

[Don_East]

Uryu nearly got a tongue-lashing there.
Great. Now they've got me doing it.

Fight it Kitschie!!! You're stronger than that!

[animePWNS]

I think I'll wait a while before actually watching the end credits this time. They may spoil something I haven't seen in the manga yet.

[Radical]

Awesome episode starting of the new awesome Arrancar arc:anime:,

The highlights:

It's weird that everything is normal with Ichigo & friends coming to school.
Keigo is so hilarious,he cracks me up whenever he pops up/running into Ichigo's arm,hahahahaha:p.
Chizuru's perverseness on poor Orihime cracks me up along with her abuse=kick in the face,hahahahaha.
I love Tatsuki,the best tomboy to bash perverts & find out Ichigo's Soul Reaper secret.
Go Ichigo,Chad,& Orihime to kick Hollow butt:anime:!!!!!!
Ichigo's teacher is crazy/funny,hahahahaha.
A pig Hollow=Ganon,hahahahahaha!!!!!!
The group's discussion about Uryu's lost powers.
The mystery stranger above watching Ichigo,he looks like Mello from Death Note.
The Bount arc Mod Souls still around,ugh,except for you Nova,you're awesome.
Good to see adorable,little Ururu:anime:,my favorite character.
Ugh,that little snotball Jinta picking on poor Ururu:mad:,fight back Ururu with your monster powers!!!!!
Kon ranting & pulling an Ataru to go girl-hunting,hahahahaha.
Isshin(Ichigo's idiotic dad)cracks me up too:D.
The mystery stranger bees the new transfer student,SWEET:anime:!!!!
It's Kurumatani the Afro-Boy,I love him.
LOOK,it's Ichigo,Hollow Slayer with a Badge,hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Ichigo meeting the mystery stranger known as Hirako Shinji.
Hirako Shinji is so awesome/creepy & my favorite new character who knows about Ichigo's Hollow powers & his zanpakuto and gives Ichigo an offer he can't refuse:join us Visoreds:p.
My favorite worst villain Grand Fisher is back as a terrifying Arrancar:evil:,with a cool Cherubimon voice.
Grand Fisher thinking Kon is Ichigo,hahahahahahaha,poor Kon.
Poor Kon & Uryu are in trouble:eek:.
Poor Uryu vs. the Menos type Hollows which they're really strong.
Well,well,it's Ryuken,Uryu's heartless jerkoff father,who saves Uryu:eek:,next episode is gonna get awesome now.
The end credits are spoilerama,but those 2 new Arrancars mostly Goth Face are awesome.

Funny that Uryu's jerkoff father's name is based on Ryu & Ken's names from Streetfighter,hahahahahahaha,Ryuken,hahahahaha!!!!!!
Yuri Lowenthal was awesome & on a roll with Keigo's hyper dorkiness,hahahahahaha.
I'm surprised that Jeannie Elias(the voice of Princess Toadstool from SuperMario Bros./Carl from As Told By Ginger/Tutankhensetamun from Tutenstein)voiced that annoying brat Jinta:eek:,I knew his voice was familiar.
Patrick Seitz did awesome as Isshin's funny,idiotic behavior as well:anime:.
Roger Smith did awesome with Hirako Shinji besides Nova:anime:.
Paul St. Peter did great with Grand Fisher's deep scary voice.
Adult Swim was right about an awesome,double new Bleach!!!!!

[PickHut]

You know, I keep coming into these talkbacks with things to say, then I'm left with almost nothing to say since everyone else said it.

So, yeah, whoa Uryu, trying to be like Batm... oh. Hmm.

Well... um... there sure was a lot of chest action in this episode! First Orihime, then Uryu. Wait... that sounded weird.

Nice episode...

[HEATXZ]

Great episode, Good to see Shinji
Chizuru is funny XD

[Master Moron]

The Vizard, one of the most awsome groups in the series, I am so happy they have finally come. Shinji is awsome once you get to know him.

But the credits really spoiled a lot of things.

They did not. You people are just looking for spoilers in the credits. For people like me who haven't seen the series before there's nothing spoilerific in the credits.

[Demonic Raven]

I spotted some of the future characters, and at least one other very minor spoiler that's going to show up in the next couple of episodes anyway (IIRC). So, nothing big at all.

[Megaman X]

Oh ending ten.. how I wish you would of aired instead..

The pics had barely any spoilers at all which is a major surprise since this arc is basically full of them, and it seems like they are extra careful with them.

Getting to see Shinji in the dub is great as he is my favorite character in the series. Can't wait to see how things get moving..

[Dark Moridin]

Well, since this is a double Bleach nite, let me make this post as short as possible,

Ganon can't choose which meat is best,

Orihime finds Chizuru's arms work better than wonder bra's, as Chizuru finds that Tatsuki's shoe doesn't freshen breath,

We have Mellow with a killer dental plan, and a crybaby name,

Samuel L. Jackson makes a joke of his badass character,

Darth Shoto reveals that he is not only his father, but the last dragon as well,

Seems everyone has 'Holloween' masks and killer ginsu blades.

Seriously though, I didn't realize that was the Grand Fisher until about midway thru him chasing Kon. I guess it sucks to not be remembered. Anyway, more in my comment in the next eps thread.

[Anyone00]

Wow, this feels so weird. Everything is so normal. Keigo is still annoying Chizuru is still horny for Orihime, and Ichigo's dad is nuttier is fruitcake.

Don't forget Tatsuki being awesome by her general presence.

Why is Mello guest-starring on Bleach?

"Ohhh, snap."
And no one gets the reference.

Why is it the Hollows just don't go attack Canada? We haven't seen any Canadian Soul Reapers.

Seems silly that they'd keep focusing on Japan when it has like the world's highest concentration of Soul Reapers.

Image if Ken-chan/Kenny unknowingly ends up in Mexico during El Dia de los Muertos :evil:

actually Viz changed the spelling to "Visored"

I guess Viz didn't want a bunch of Viz-ards jokes.

I still think the homeroom teacher is in on everything that is happening.

Ryuken: Father, Doctor, ex-Quincy, Sears Model.

[zoombie]

I still think the homeroom teacher is in on everything that is happening.

So you think she is another undercover Soul Reaper?

[Anyone00]

So you think she is another undercover Soul Reaper?

No, I think she's more like Chad and Orihime except 'back in the day'.

[Rolling Cloud]

Oh ending ten.. how I wish you would of aired instead..

The pics had barely any spoilers at all which is a major surprise since this arc is basically full of them, and it seems like they are extra careful with them.

/thinks over

Yeah, pretty much nothing the original ending wouldn't have ruined anyways.

[Megaman X]

/thinks over

Yeah, pretty much nothing the original ending wouldn't have ruined anyways.

The only thing that the original ending spoils is from the episode that comes right after that, and I'm sure most people would not even notice much before they figured it out.

^^ And come on, the part with Ichigo standing with his bankai sword and the cherry blossoms flying everywhere and showing future characters is badass.

[Luna]

Uyru fangirls, start your droolin.:D....I liked that part(though I was wondering why he had to unbutton his shirt to fight at first...then again,fanservice needs no logic)...too bad the Hollow he was fighting wasn't female,that might've bought him some time....

I liked the "back to normal" scenes...Keigo's pretty funny,and Tatsuki and Chizuru have another one of their fights over Chizuru's fondling of Orihime...it's also revealed Tatsuki can see Ichigo's badge,and later sees him in soul reaper form....

Shinji has arrived...I like him so far,even if he looks a little creepy...Any idea who voices him?...He sounds familiar,but I can't place him..

The Bount arc Mod Souls are still around :shrug:...Nova's OK,but I don't really like the other two...I kinda wish they'd keep the filler characters out of canon storylines....but it's not that big a deal,I guess...

and Uryu gets rescued by his dad,who despite rejecting being a Quincy in front of his son years ago,apparently holds alot of power...

[zoombie]

Keigo wants to be in Ichigo's club. Well if you don't mind being attacked by Hollows, and now Arranchar, go ahead join the club. If he only know. LOL Keigo I will remember that reguest.

[Mesousa]

Someone mentioned puns and toilet humor? Were the dub writers messing around?

Also, Jeannie Elias is doing anime now? Nice one, Bandai.

[Don_East]

Someone mentioned puns and toilet humor? Were the dub writers messing around?
Well, I wouldn't say actual toliet humor unless you count Orihime saying she really had to go. Which BTW I thought was funny.

Also, there two puns... After Tatsuki kicked Chizuru, who was hugging/groping Orihime, she said she was "keep her[Chizuru] breast of the situation." Later, when Kon was complaining that he has nothing to do, he exclaims "this lion ain't lyin!"

You know puns can be funny, it's just it seems english dubbed anime and puns don't go good together.

BoBoBo had a lot of puns.

Then agian, I think it originally had puns anyways. :p

[macattack]

You know, if you listen carefully, you can hear Yuri Lowenthal struggling not to laugh while performing Keigo's lines.

I SO want to hear the bloopers from this episode.
