Summary:
Despite Yui telling him to run away, Shouta still rushes to her side and is shocked to see the real form of the pseudo-Arrancar appear behind her. Yui pushes Shouta out of the way right before the pseudo-Arrancar tries to crush him, but Shouta still says that he doesn’t want to abandon her again. However, Yui then gets turned back into one of the pseudo-Arrancar’s minions and gets sucked up by its true form. When Rangiku tries to fight it, she manages to get in a few hits, but it then sends its minions after Shouta, distracting her long enough for the pseudo-Arrancar to go on the offensive. Fortunately Hitsugaya also enters the battle by freezing the minions and using his ice dragon on it. Faced against a captain now, the pseudo-Arrancar claims that destroying him will cause Yui to disappear too, and although Hitsugaya isn’t affected by the threat, Shouta is. Shouta’s attempt to stop Hitsugaya gives the pseudo-Arrancar the opportunity to escape into another dimension. While it is gone, the pseudo-Arrancar’s minions fill the skies and get sent out in every direction to consume more souls.
Upon contacting Soul Society for information about the location of their enemy, Hitsugaya learns from the Technological Development Bureau that the transmission source of the sound the pseudo-Arrancar uses to control souls can be determined based on the way its minions are distributed around the city. While they are trying to find it, Rangiku meanwhile explains to Shouta how the Shinigami are trying to save Hollows as well as souls. She feels that although they couldn’t protect Yui, they can still save her soul, and she wants to work together with Shouta to do it. The Technological Development Bureau eventually discovers that the pseudo-Arrancar is hiding in the area by the river behind a special barrier, so they need to destroy that barrier. Hitsugaya initiates ban kai to do this, but he doesn’t succeed until Shouta calls out to Yui and the flute sound suddenly starts up. Shouta can tell where the sound is coming from and helps Hitsugaya direct his attack there, revealing the pseudo-Arrancar. Despite transforming, the pseudo-Arrancar cannot beat Hitsugaya, though it is actually Shouta and Rangiku together who finish the pseudo-Arrancar off.
In the aftermath, Shouta digs up the flute from the ground where the pseudo-Arrancar disappeared and feels that Yui definitely made it to Soul Society. He’s ready to go after her, so Rangiku sends him off after one last hug.

Well the concluding episode of this mini-arc was better than the other episodes if for no other reason than it being faster-paced and featuring more action. I particularly liked how the Yui parts in the beginning were actually kinda creepy looking (when the pseudo-Arrancar minion ripped out of her back), though the ending with Rangiku and Shouta stabbing the pseudo-Arrancar together felt rather cheesy. I also wish that they wouldn’t use ban kai so freely against average enemies like it’s just another normal power up since it lessens the impact later on.
Anyway, next week appears to be a one-shot about Karin playing soccer and maybe getting Hitsugaya to help. I’m half expecting Don Kanonji to show up for it…

More fillers next week?
GStrike- at 7:13 pm on June 27th, 2007
is there a new OP or is it next week?
DMO at 7:21 pm on June 27th, 2007
the animation quality was WAAAAAAAY off this week…but then again, it’s fillers
bob at 7:21 pm on June 27th, 2007
fillers =_=
Nyte-sama at 7:28 pm on June 27th, 2007
geh, fillers suck
Why dont they get on with the sereis? There’s plenty of manga ahead of them.
Mantis at 7:30 pm on June 27th, 2007
New OP? Bleach just got a new op -_-
FalenXangel at 7:37 pm on June 27th, 2007
fillers… r… rly… stupid… they should just go to the hueco mundo arc…
DEATH at 8:24 pm on June 27th, 2007
Hitsugaya playing soccer? Seems like it’ll be a funny episode, but I really hope the fillers end soon…

GStrike- said: is there a new OP or is it next week?
^Actually, there’s going to be a new ED that premieres in next week’s episode. The song is “Daidai” by chatmonchy.
And FalenXangel, they really can’t go to the Hueco Mundo arc because they’d catch up to the manga very quickly, and they really can’t do fillers when they choose to animate that arc. Besides, wouldn’t you rather the fillers be here instead of interrupting the Hueco Mundo arc when the anime catches up to the manga?
Fool at 8:52 pm on June 27th, 2007
Actually, I’d prefer if they took a rest period to allow the manga to develop enough material instead of animating fillers.
Kirakun85 at 8:56 pm on June 27th, 2007
oh god, enough of fillers….

I agree with “fool” I think I would prefer a break than a continuation of anime that I really don’t want to waste my time with. It’s all gone very Naruto-esque, its a shame, I really enjoyed this anime. If it continues I think I’ll have to just stick with the manga,
the bonutu arc was one thing, this is just annoying now…

I hope they continue with shity quality through the entire arc and save some money for the Manga materials. I’ve heard Next week is going to be the end of these fillers and the episode after that has a new Op, is that true?
jlyn101 at 9:20 pm on June 27th, 2007
yeah… fillers do suck…
and a break would be nice…
but that depends on the broadcaster, right?
‘TV Tokyo, care for a rest for Bleach? The anime can resume once the material is sufficiently available…’
llxwarbirdxll at 10:39 pm on June 27th, 2007
Heh… Fillers do suck but Don Kanonji is my favorite recurring character so I’m looking forward to the next episode.
Karis at 10:49 pm on June 27th, 2007
Was the opening song sounded a little different than before I heard it, or is it just me??
Anyway, what Fool said, WHY don’t the producers create breaks for the anime? People wouldn’t mind if there is a brief hiatus betwwen anime arcs would it??
Model_X at 10:53 pm on June 27th, 2007
Omg…more fillers…
king at 11:03 pm on June 27th, 2007
karin and hitsugaya,i feel they will become more than friends
yomax at 12:59 am on June 28th, 2007
Those bastards never learn? First Naruto fillers,now Bleach fillers? I’m gonna stop watching the anime. Just like Naruto. It takes a whole episode to enter into a f***ing cave? Wth? And those Gai/Lee jokes…Bah.. Both Bleach & Naruto manga is so f***ing awesome but the anime sux.
