Summary: Ishida worked together with Renji in attempting to finish off Szayel Aporro Grantz, the 8th Espada. Renji created an opening by drawing his attention with his Kidou, while Uryuu set up something called “Sprenger”, a Quincy’s technique of blasting anything within a pentagon that their 5 Seele Schneiders created. But still, they failed to kill Szayel. With the damaged clothes, Szayel wanted to change to new clothes and will give them time to think of a new plan to kill him. Scene changes to Ichigo, with Nel crying for him, blaming herself as the cause of his death. Grimmjow came with Inoue and ordered her to heal him fully before Ulquiorra gets there. Grimmjow wants to teach Ulquiorra what happens when he kills someone else’s prey. But it’s too late. Before Inoue finished healing Ichigo, Ulquiorra arrived at the place.

Thoughts: This is by far the best episode ever since the Hueco Mundo arc. It’s not draggy, there’s a lot of actions going on. Still, the thought of fillers coming up remains… I don’t like fillers.. because the makers of Bleach tend to make the story draggy and unclear, just like what happened with the Bounto fillers. Well I do hope this one’s going to be a pretty good one. I can’t write much these days as I’m in the middle of exams.. I apologize for the late posts… I’ll do the manga shortly.
