Bleach ep. 119
[BLEACH #119]
[Enjoyment Value: 8/10]
[Thoughts]
Not one of the best episodes of late but it was good. It was nice to see some back-story on Ikkaku. Seeing him go from just a common street fighter to a Shinigami all with the goal to surpass Kenpachi in mind. As evidenced by this episode though, Ikkaku had Bankai well before the series started. That means if he wanted to, he could’ve defeated Ichigo earlier in the series with ease but unfortunately he hides it. I suppose I understand why he doesn’t want to become a Captain but that shouldn’t let him restrict the use of such an awesome Bankai. Especially a Bankai that ended up killing such a strong Arrancar.
Anyways, next episode has some Shirou-chan and Renji Bankai action!

personally i think the mangaka didnt think of making ikkaku have bankai until after his fight with ichigo…
Heh, yeah. That’s most likely the case unless Kubo REALLY plans far ahead (like with Shinji appearing in artwork of the first (?) chapter, I think).
Interesting episode, although I don’t like Ikakku’s death wish.
Yeah. That’s probably the most destructive quality trait of his. =/
