Summary:
Nemu is inside the Technology Development Bureau when the alarms start to go off. Kariya soon bursts through the front entrance and uses his wind powers to destroy and bury everything in rubble. Nearby, Ririn senses the Bount and directs Ichigo in the right direction, though the two are first met up by Sado and Nova who are headed the same way. Meanwhile, Ishida starts his battle against Yoshi by jumping up and using the sun as cover for an attack. Yoshi is able to avoid it and retaliates, but Ishida starts to move away. He leads her to a rooftop where he questions why Yoshi is doing all this since the fighting is meaningless. Determined to stop what he considers a meaningless battle, Ishida engages Yoshi, who then brings out the true form of her Sword Doll. He is forced to rely on his speed to get away from her attacks, and can’t seem to get an opening on her. When he does finally land a powerful arrow attack, Yoshi protects herself by using her fan as a shield. Her dolls can tell that Ishida doesn’t have complete control of his power, but Ishida tries a second shot anyway. Yoshi emerges unscathed from the smoke and sends him on the run again. When Ishida desperately starts firing at her, Yoshi uses an opportunity to hit him and send him flying into ground.
Back at the Technology Development Bureau, Kariya is ready to get the crest that’s supposed to be there - the first one ever created. He’s interrupted by the arrival of Ichigo and Sado, but he uses his wind powers to disappear further into the building. After freeing Nemu and finding out that she doesn’t know what Kariya was talking about, the guys decide to follow his spirit power. Kariya appears to find what he’s looking for when he enters a storage area and the crest on his body starts reacting. As he searches through the room, Ichigo appears and initiates ban kai. The two start fighting similarly to the last time they met, but this time Sado is helping Ichigo. Unfortunately, Sado is no match for Kariya and gets hit with a fist in his side that sends him flying across the room. Ichigo protects his friend from the next wind attack, and then he and Kariya trade ranged attacks with Kariya using twisters and Ichigo using his Getsuga Tenshou technique. The subsequent explosion opens up a hole in the ground, and Kariya sees that something down there has the crest that he was after.
Kariya makes his way down and takes off his jacket, revealing the black crest on his chest. After uttering a chant that leads to a bright flash of light, Kariya declares that he just gained the ultimate power. He had used Ichinose to look for the crest in old documents, and Ichinose had figured out that it was located at the Technology Development Bureau. The original name of this crest, which can purify and erase everything, is Joukaishou. Kariya explains that after the experiments from long ago were stopped, the extraordinary energy that was the foundation of the experiments was sealed off in the Joukaishou. And now, he’s become one with this energy and can release it at anytime to blow away Seireitei. In fact, he threatens to do exactly that if Ichigo and Sado attack him. Before he disappears, Kariya leaves with them a message for Seireitei saying that he’ll delay a day to allow them to tremble in fear as much as possible. Around this time, Yoshi has decided not to finish off Ishida and turns her back to walk off, but Ishida surprises her by firing an arrow straight at her.
I’m surprised that Mayuri didn’t completely lose it when he got back to the Technology Development Bureau (in the after-episode segment) and found the place in shambles. Maybe he’ll get pissed off when he realizes what Kariya took. Somehow I think that Nemu will be the one getting yelled at. Anyway, I’m a little disappointed because I was hoping that Kariya was searching for something more than just a power that can destroy Seireitei in basically one shot. It just seems too convenient and not very well thought out story-wise, and maybe there’s more to it than meets the eye. As for Yoshi vs. Ishida, it’s clear from the preview that Yoshi survives that attack at the end of the episode. I think Ishida’s chance in defeating her probably lies in the transition between her fan armor and her sword armor, but we’ll see what happens.

1st comment, looks like GG to another bounto

Looks like a good ep
g-cel at 12:02 am on November 9th, 2006
yeah…a hell of a episode!!
Rina at 12:09 am on November 9th, 2006
Ooh, haven’t seen Ishida and Chad in a while. Does anyone knows what going to happen after the Bounto are eliminated?
Rasmiel at 12:13 am on November 9th, 2006
Dammit Yoshi didn’t die! That [insert unfriendly term used to discriminate a woman here]!
The whole deal with Kariya and his newly found power seems so out of proportion. And furthermore, why the hell is it that villains ALWAYS have to give the heroes time to think/act/attack back/etc.? For ocne I would like to see a villain actually taking the initiative to take the heroes out on the spot…This is why villains never win.
Also, LOL @ this episode’s Shinigami Encyclopedia Golden.

Yeah, another bounto is gone that means were getting closer to the arracar arc. The battles in this episode look great.
layla at 12:31 am on November 9th, 2006

looks good just from screenshots.
Maybe two with one stone and no more fillers… doubtful but still would like it.
Dlin it from DB right now.
psychohare at 1:29 am on November 9th, 2006
downloading from DB right now too!
geez… this filler better last longer… as long as possible…
bak3donh1gh at 1:43 am on November 9th, 2006
well if your being serious you definitely haven’t read the manga.
Leah.rc at 2:01 am on November 9th, 2006
Come on!! Just hurry up and die Bount! so then we can get on with the manga bits!!
p.s. it still looks like a good ep. GO ISHIDA!! HE FINALLY CAME BACK OUT!!
bak3donh1gh at 2:22 am on November 9th, 2006
Def one of the best fillers though it raises a few questions, like one why cant ichigo lift a hunk of concrete easily but he can swing around that big ass sword made of metal easily? Two how the hell can ichida slide for like 3 city blocks? i swear im gunna make a animated gif on that lol. And why the hell does seireitei have nuclear power plants?! and on top(well underneath) theres a huge explosive power source other than uranium!
but yea maybe two more fillers?
akavuuh at 3:06 am on November 9th, 2006
Well I’m not watching filler crap, but still reading the blogs here for some time.
Anyway, did anyone notice the chics move is similar to the Blind Captain (forgot his name), like he says “sing something” and there is a shower of swords on Kenpachi, how come everyone forgot that

Manga bits probably wont come back in a while.
Man, bleach is going to be one major crappy anime. More of it is going to be fillers than actual manga material. Why even bother blogging fillers. You’re just wasting time. IMO.
Danny at 5:31 am on November 9th, 2006
I thought this episode was pretty good.

I felt that Ichigo’s Bankai has been degraded in this episode… He suddenly launched into Bankai without much glamour, and it’s supposed to be a really powerful Bankai that could match Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, but it could barely scratch Kariya here. Quite inconsistent and disappointing.
And where are all the taichous???
Rexter at 7:01 am on November 9th, 2006
Well the reason for ichigo being weak is quite simple: its fillers! the main characters must not evolve in any way or else the manga storyline will be ruined. So their only option is to make him weaker (hence he lost his bankai in the beginning of the fillers whereas he never lost them in the manga).
But anyway, great episode! The animation quality was much better this time, and i really liked the fight between ishida and yoshi. The only silly thing was when ishida slided backwards
if they had made it in slow motion then it would have been better.
