Don't you remember that the Quincy were screwing up the natural order of the universe. The Shinigami may be arrogant but I think the reason they wiped them out was the soul imbalance aspect. Anyway who cares about Ishida...didn't anyone get curious after seeing the people from the preview?

But there's not much to say besides, "I wonder who that guy is". And I don't really feel like asking the manga-readers who they are, because really, I'd like to just watch the next episode. That being said, the white dude with the green eyes looks seriously cool. He looks kinda like Gaara might if Tite Kubo drew him.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
We still have only the shinigami's word on that. For all we know, in reality the soul balance thing could be pure bs and propaganda. The shinigami might have just been afraid the Quincy could acquire too much power eventually. It's true many Quincy ceased to hunt hollows, like Ishida's dad. But maybe they just didn't want to do it, because, in the end, it isn't real work yet still is very dangerous. And remember: The Quincy were born in the first place because the shinigami didn't do their own work thorougly.
Aizen, Gin, Mayuri and even the old geezer commander have certainly shown the Shinigami organization can be quite rotten and arrogant.
Great episode. Watching this episode, I noticed pretty much every legitimate question posed on gotwoot last week was answered this week. It's like the anime studio is reading these boards, then producing the anime to answer everything we ask.
Once again, the animation was lacking. When will they go back to the normal animation team? Maybe they're all busy drawing for the movie, but I wish they'd hurry back.
I'm betting that a lot of the 2500 or so Quincy that the freaky clown guy experimented on were ones like Ishida's sensei that weren't interfering with the Shinigami anymore. Soul Society just stopped them, freaky clown guy was probably the reason they were wiped out to the point of only 2 Quincy (that we know of) being left alive.
P.S. Any who complains about Bleach fillers should go see what us Naruto fans have to deal with.
fucking weird bunch those Vaizards are.... I too am pleasantly surprised that the Arrancars and Vaizards are on separate sides. Look forward to seeing the Vaizards act in "the battle royale", especially as to who their main enemies are. Urahara made it sound like the Vaizards are moving to get strength to fight the Arrancars.... but that Hiyori girl sure doesn't like Shinigami...
I also thought she was pretty funny. Hirako is also coming into his own as a character. I like him quite a bit.
Ishida can suck on a dick. "I don't want any borrowed powers" he says, then gets his daddy to fix him up with exactly that, betraying his friends in the process. If he was serious, he'd try getting them back by himself first...
Why does Ichigo's dad sound so different?
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Damn I can't wait to see Urahara and Isshin in a serious fight, preferably at the same time. The new character in the preview looks like The Crow to me. Hope he gets a cool voice...
Isn't his dad a doctor? Makes sense he would fix Ishida up. That's what doctors do. And Ishida is the kind of character who would "betray" his friends to get his powers back. He lost his powers in a fight to help those friends, so he hardly owns anything to Ichigo & co. It's more like Ichigo and SS should have helped him to get his powers back, but we didn't really see anything indicating they would ever even try to attempt that.
When his dad first appeared he said something like "I am the true quincy". When Ishida said that he didn't want borrowed power I interpreted this as him having "fake" powers all along and now his father will unlock his real quincy powers.
These eps are alright. But for some reason the animation is worse than before the fillers, and its a bitch when they add filler into these episodes with those three characters from the Bounto arc. I hate having to skip half the episode (like last ep) and try to find the spot where the ep goes back to whats in the manga.
Also, the music is a little weirder...
I took it to mean that he would get his own powers BACK after having lost them beating Mayuri. When he was talking about "fake" powers, I through he was talking about the powers that the bow gave him during the Bounto arc.
