Ichigo's Return! Protect Karakura Town

Opening 12 - Change by Miwa
Ending 24 - Echoes by Universe

This week on Bleach...
Ichigo manages to reach where Rukia, Chad, and Renji are.

Last time on Bleach...

Spoiler:

Wonderweiss battled Mashiro, who took the upper hand until her mask broke. Before Wonderwiess could finish her off, Kensei stepped in and saved her. Taking her place in the fight, Kensei released his Bankai. Meanwhile, the rest of the Visored regrouped in front of Aizen, along with Soi Fon and Toshiro. Hiyori explained to Aizen why they had a score to settle with him, flashing back to the events that happened on the night of 101 years ago. Shinji warned everyone to not fall for Aizen's taunts. Hiyori fell for his tricks and rushed in for an attack at Aizen, only to be stabbed in the back by Gin, which badly injured her. Shinji caught her, and Hiyori apologized for not being able to hold back. Hirako called for Ichigo, realizing that Orihime could still heal her. Meanwhile, back in Hueco Mundo, Ichigo went to help Chad, Rukia, and Renji. The three were still in a battle with Yammy and tried to come up with tricks to defeat him, but were ultimately defeated.

Bleach. Only Toonami.

So this is not the stand alone filler, I guess that is next week.

[Nobodyman]

Previously on Bleach: Girls never win on Bleach

Damn, I can't stop looking at that thing on Shinji's tongue.

No, no guys, we're done with the recap. You're supposed to be showing us new stuff now.

[Kitschensyngk]

Actually, it's pretty hard to forget when you die.

[zoombie]

Chad and his true love, the ground.

[JShaggy]

This scene reminded me of the Goku vs. Vegeta fight from DBZ.

[FFmax]

Saved by Ichigo yet again.

[Nobodyman]

Boy Ichigo, you sure are acting smug for a guy who was pretty much bailed out of his last fight.

Just so we're clear, Yammy's the Zero Espada, right? And yet he's getting tossed around by a guy who could barely beat the 4th Espada.

[Kitschensyngk]

Ow! That stung me! You really really hurt me! ...NOT!! That was sarcasm!

"That was boring! It wasn't a bit satisfying!"
Throwing a girl to the ground doesn't satisfy this show's biggest mysogynist? He must REALLY be bored.

You sure you should leave here there? She might get kidnapped. AGAIN.

"Gutless loser"? Where are we, high school?

[trance2009]

I swear everybody that Ichigo fights gets jobbed like a mofo when just seconds ago the biggest hitters couldn't touch them.

[Kitschensyngk]

He sorta died until his girlfriend SOBBED him back to life, and then he allowed his opponent to have an undeserved tearful sendoff.

[Nobodyman]

Actually Ichigo, you're mask was probably heavier because this time it had horns on it.

[FFmax]

Speaking of Grimmjow, where is he? And Nel for that matter?

[Nobodyman]

I swear everybody that Ichigo fights gets jobbed like a mofo when just seconds ago the biggest hitters couldn't touch them.

You're referring to Rukia, Renji, and Chad? If so, pfft.

Yeah, not so smug now, eh Ichigo?

[Kitschensyngk]

No honor among Espada, it seems.

That's why the villains always lose. Internal animosity. If you can't cooperate with your coworkers, how can you expect to get anything done?

It must have been VERY cordial in the break room at Hueco Mundo.

Dr. Strangelove on the Oregon Trail.

[animePWNS]

Mayuri and his traveling freak show?

And of course Ichigo's bailed out by the big guys. I'm starting to think he's a bit of a girl himself.

[Kitschensyngk]

Ahh. I was just about to ask when Byakkuya would swoop in and save everybody.

"Step aside, Ichigo Kurosaki."
Oh, he's already done that. He and his friends did that a LOOOOOOONG time ago.

[Nobodyman]

Oh, hey Mayuri. Boy, I sure would like to get a look at those bodies soon.

.................................

Byakuya and Kenpachi arrive!

[JShaggy]

Haven't seen Mayuri in a while, and yet Nemu's pushing the wagon.

Welcome back, Kenpachi and Byakuya.

[trance2009]

I do like how both of them never gave a crap about Ichigo and still don't.
