Summary:
Somewhere in the Hollow world, a familiar-looking Hollow breaks free of his mummification and utters the name of Kurosaki Ichigo. Having returned to the real world, Ichigo is reunited with all of his friends, including Tatsuki. She notices that he’s wearing something and asks about it, so Ichigo assumes she’s talking about the charm his father gave him. However, she’s actually referring to the Shinigami combat license that humans aren’t supposed to be able to see. But before they can talk about it further, their teacher comes in and starts class. As their teacher is talking about a new transfer student, Ichigo’s license suddenly detects a Hollow. When Ichigo, Sado, and Inoue all take off from class to go fight it, Tatsuki sees Ichigo leaving school in his Shinigami garb. After destroying the Hollow, Inoue notices that Ishida didn’t come with them, but Ichigo feels that she doesn’t have to worry about him. In any case, the group returns to class in time to hear the introduction of new student Hirako Shinji, though Ichigo leaves again soon after because the license goes off again with a Hollow detection.
With Ichigo and the rest at school during the day, Ririn and the other Mod-Souls have taken up residence over at Urahara’s shop since their job as Bount Sensors is over. Later that night, Ichigo is alerted to another Hollow, so he goes out in Shinigami form and puts Kon in his body for the time being. After finishing off the Hollow, Ichigo is confronted by Kurumadani Zennosuke, the substitute Shinigami in charge of Karakura Town. Ichigo tries to show him the combat badge, but someone suddenly appears behind him: Shinji. Ichigo acts quickly and is able to block Shinji’s attack, but the guy tells him to be quiet and keep down his spirit power lest someone sense it. However, at this moment, two Hollows have appeared in the world: one near Ishida and another near Ichigo’s real body. The latter one wears a familiar mask and has his sights on Ichigo’s body, not knowing that it’s actually Kon inside. Upon being attacked, Kon identifies his enemy as none other than the Grand Fisher.
Ichigo is meanwhile demanding to know who Shinji really is. In response, Shinji pulls out a Hollow mask and points out his own zanpaktou, explaining that he is a Shinigami who went into the world of the Hollows. He calls himself a Vizard and since he feels that Ichigo is the same, he asks Ichigo to come with him. During this time, Ishida has started attempting to fight the Hollow after him with some special tools he kept on him that he can still use without his Quincy powers. He manages to blow off the Hollow’s left arm with special canisters, but the Hollow simply regenerates. Ishida then tries to use some trees to swing around, but finds that the top half of the Hollow has disappeared. With the Hollow actually behind him, Ishida realizes too late the two halves of the Hollow are actually two different Hollows. He’s about to get hit with the upper Hollow’s tongue, but someone suddenly fires and shoots that tongue off. This person, who refers to Ishida by his first name Uryuu, calls Ishida’s appearance unsightly. Ishida recognizes this person is Ryuuken, and his father comments on how Ishida hasn’t changed because he still calls his father by his first name.

ED10: 「桜日和」 (Sakura Hiyori) by 星村麻衣 (Hoshimura Mai)
Watch the ED! Mirror 1 Mirror 2
The new ending is song is a rather nice ballad that pairs perfectly with all the sakura imagery they show in the ED sequence. Obviously there’s some spoilers in there for people who aren’t acquainted with the manga, but I thought it reflected what’s in store for this arc very well.
Oh yea, I should note that they returned to using the original animation sequence for Rolling Star in this episode.
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been this excited about Bleach. There’s just so much good story that’s upcoming, and I don’t even remember all of it because it’s been so long since I read this part of the manga. This episode follows the manga pretty well, but there are of course some changes. One of the main ones is the addition of Ririn and company to explain what they’re doing (basically nothing) while all this is going on.
Shinji is everything I imagined he’d be, from his Kansai-ben (voiced by Onosaka Masaya) to that creepy grin of his. Ryuuken meanwhile is someone we’ve seen before, but not like this. Aside from his entrance that shows he has Quincy powers, they changed back his hair color to a lighter blue - compared to the darker color it was last time we saw him.
The preview for next week only shows Ishida and his father, which is a good thing because it doesn’t spoil what else is coming.

finally i can watch bleach again
Kiwifruit at 4:32 pm on January 10th, 2007
Can’t wait till the subs
Only by watching the screencaps make me excited. I have stopped watching the eps after eps70. I still downloaded the eps, but just didn’t get excited to watch it. But just seeing these screens I get all excited
YEAH!
Aishiteru at 4:32 pm on January 10th, 2007
Awesome! Back on track! I wanna hug Orihime like that too
Caraniel at 4:33 pm on January 10th, 2007
*foams at the mouth* Dear god I cannot WAIT for this to be subbed!!! *scanning through screencaps* soooo much going on and so quickly! I am very excited about this upcoming arc.

anyone else worry that they will run out of manga too fast and we’ll have fillers again in like 50 or so eps?
Fuhrer at 4:53 pm on January 10th, 2007
So the fillers finally end. I cant say that Im pumped to start watching it again but I will check out the subs to see if I can get back into the series.
kurotsuki at 4:55 pm on January 10th, 2007
LOL ! i like how Hueco Mundo doesn’t look like Hueco Mundo
Inuhanyou at 5:01 pm on January 10th, 2007
Of course it looks like hueco mundo :/ What you mean is Las Noches
kurotsuki at 5:16 pm on January 10th, 2007
the new ending is full of spoiler…as usual the new ending of each new arc is always like that
paperlights at 5:17 pm on January 10th, 2007
I lost all train of thought after Ishida unzipped his shirt LOL. I’m way too excited to wait until next week..
Hangender at 5:23 pm on January 10th, 2007
OH MY GOD. Look at that nicely drawn mask on Shinji. Non filler episode really owns.
tails at 5:34 pm on January 10th, 2007
same here omni. i wish i hadn’t watched the bount arc which was a total waste of time. hope they’ll be able to make this arc as good as the soul society arc. looks promising at least except for having ririn and co. back at urahara’s. however, the bount arc ending in soul society can be considered in many ways practical… can’t wait til next ep. d’you think the manga is better at this point?
Syaoran Li at 5:44 pm on January 10th, 2007
Fianlly back to the manga
Anacone at 5:54 pm on January 10th, 2007
Very cool…Hmm I’m thinking that we get about 26 eps before next filler arc…or they are stuffing something between eps or just prolong some eps. I’m guessing its very long shot that they finish manga soon…

“The preview for next week only shows Ishida and his father, which is a good thing because it doesn’t spoil what else is coming.”
Of course, you spoil the exact thing you’re talking about in the second screenie of the new ED… ^_^
I implore anyone who has yet to read the manga, or spoil themselves otherwise, NOT to download the ED, or look too closely as the screencaps of it, until the end of the next episode. The specific thing that will happen next episode that Omni is alluding to with his last line, and which the animators specifically avoided noting in the preview (but which they spoiled the hell out of in the ED), is a true jaw-drop revelation, and is 100x more enjoyable if you don’t see it coming.
Spoilers for it should be avoided at all costs. Trust me on this.

So some Shinigami go to school huh? Looking good in those uniforms!! Can’t wait, it’s gotten me really excited about Bleach since the fillers started. I think it’ll most likely be like it was before, about 60+ eps of this new arc and then, depending on where we are with the manga, more fillers to keep the anime airing while the manga advances. Anyway, I just hope there are no fillers too soon, cause 45 eps. of filler was sad and empty days for me.
