Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ BLEACH #165]

Now this is what I’m talking about! Ichigo vs. Grimmjow was one of the more exciting fights for me in the manga and it’s a joy to see it finally animated. One of the things I’ve been waiting to see in motion was Grimmjow’s Gran Rey Cero. It looked pretty damn awesome when I first saw it in the manga and the animation team did a wonderful job with it. I wasn’t expecting it to be blue-ish in color though. Still, the fight is moving faster than I expected and I had thought it would have been stretched a bit. The fight is already moving into its second stage. Well, they could extend that part but I doubt it for now. On another note, I found Ulquiorra being trapped so hilarious. Why? Well, even in the current chapters of the he still hasn’t broken out of that place yet. Grimmjow’s estimation was about 2-3 hours…which really warps the mind since it’s sometimes hard to believe so little time passed over months of chapters/episodes.

Bleach will be back on the 9th of April so that’s a two-week break which should help out the manga a bit. I’m still thinking of how they’re going to switch to an anime original arc though…
