Bleach 283

[DarthEnderX]

Really liked this episode. Stark is just plain cool. I hope he's not really dead since they didn't show him dissolving like they have with all the other Arrancar.

Was the children's games thing his Bankai? I didn't actually hear him say it, so maybe it isn't?

for being the #1 espada, stark sure didn't put up much of a fight... Barragan seems a lot stronger.

Not sure what you're talking about. He took on two Captains and two Vizards and beat 3 of them. Barrigan took on one Captain and one Vizard and didn't defeat either of them.

Why is pre-Arrancar Stark so human like?

Because his mask is just a jawbone around his neck. Which is hidden under his Hollow cloak in that scene. Although it technically shouldn't be, since their pre-Arrancar form should look like their released form.

His inferiority complex is really lame. Apparently being super strong is a hinder to him.

I'd say being so strong that just your power aura kills everyone you try and get close to is a pretty big fucking hindrance.

Well, maybe, in his released form he combines back into one being, in the other scene he was split, so that might be closer to what he looked like before he split himself in half.

Usually i would be, but got to give credit where credit is due, we`re too distracted by how fluent this episode went to care about the details of the story itself, i liked this episode and i`m not ashamed to say it, but, was i the only one that raised an eyebrow when a wolf bit what`s his name and a huge ass blue explosion came out, then *several* wolf bit the two of them and all it happened was a small dust cloud? you`d think the world would end or something.

In every instance that a wolf blew up there was an enormous explosion, at least as far as I recall. The second time they got bit it zooms WAY out to show a monumental explosion then they fly out of the side of it with what looks like dust trailing them, it seems like that is what you're talking about but I think you just lost perspective on the situation. I'm mostly sure that is the details of it though, I'd have to watch the episode again to be sure.

The part itself is at the beggining of the episode, check it out :P.

Ah ya, that was a bit odd compared to the rest. When they backed the camera out to Stark you could tell the explosion was large enough, but you're right, I would have expected more and at first it looked pretty tiny. It wasn't so different as to bother me. *shrug*

[DarthEnderX]

I just don't see them as being meh at all. Yeah, they're losing, but their all fighting 3+Captains/Vizards at once.

Vasto Lordes are supposed to be Captain strength, so even with the Arrancar powerup I wouldn't have expected them to fight off so many and still win.

I mean, the fact that Aizen expected these 3 to fight half the Captains and all the Vizard at once is kinda ridiculous. Especially if him and his two lackeys are just going to stand by and watch....

Which reminds me, wtf is Yamamoto doing? Now that his fire is gone, shouldn't he be...I dunno, doing something else?

Well, maybe, in his released form he combines back into one being, in the other scene he was split, so that might be closer to what he looked like before he split himself in half.

Ahh, that makes sense. When he was still one Hollow, he probably had both Lilinette's helm and eyepiece as well as his own jawbone.

Maybe he should have considered that factor before he ate his way to prominence?

[Archangel]

He ate from instinct, but has hew grew more powerful reason started to set in as well as with it his own personality.

There's also the possibility that Kubo forgot how Vasto Lords came to exist since it hasn't been mentioned in a couple of episodes

[Sporklover]

One thing I noticed about this episode and the previous ones was about Rose and Love's mask. How can we see Love's eyes through his mask if he's wearing shades inside? Also how come Rose's eyes are just normal when it's fractured unlike Ichigo's with eye/black pupils?

quick edit: Nvm, still the same color.

Soifon was defeated, the two vaizards and captain that stark "defeated" were in the same position, actually less so because they didnt have to cut off their arm. The only reason Barragan lost was because, as animus mentioned, he was basically tailored to beat him. The two vaizards who lost to stark would also have lost to Barragan, and considering Shunsui's close-quarters combat style of fighting, he would have probably lost as well unless he went bankai, still with no guarantee of winning. I can't imagine how anyone other than super-hollow ichigo, the captain commander, the magic-using vaizard, or aizen could have beaten him.

Or.... Yachiru.

[humpburger]

I don't remember Stark defeating any Shinigami Captain. All I saw was Stark with the upperhand againts 2 Vizards, Barragan pwning a captain, and a Bankailess Shunsui pissing off Azien so bad he called his Arrancar "trash" and dispose one of them.

[x] Shunsui > all Arrancars.

[DarthEnderX]

I was gonna say Stark beat the White haired captain, but then I remembered it was actually Wonderweiss that put him down.
