Underwhelming fight.

"Fair"

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Apr 26, 2011

It's so sad that the concepts revolving around these Bounts has so much potential and it's being used poorly by these fillers. None of these fights, except betweein Yoshino and Kariya, have been intriguing in any way. So it's not surprising to see that another fight ends up being pretty lackluster like the one here between Ichigo and Dalk. It was getting good when Ichigo chopped up the doll with his Getsuga Tosho, then it all goes down hill when he's close in the face of defeat and his hollow side conveniently kicks in to save his ass. These fights need to get better ASAP.moreless

Seems just like the Soul Society, nothing really happened at first, until everyone was in there own battles. Same thing happening here now.

Either, the filler arc is nearing a close or the fillers are going to pick up for now. I knew it was just a matter of time, before things get interesting. At least 3 battles and we get to see more of the bountou in action.

It was good to see Ichigo Visored side come out again. Sort of fits good into what is currently happening the manga. I've sort of wanted to see some of this bountou fight for a while. Some battles look like it will be cool, because mostly they are out strengthed.

It looks like they have the downside for now, but I do think something is going to happen. Good to see some good quaility battles.moreless

"Superb"

By Kakashi2009, May 31, 2006

This was an exciting episode, full of battle action and power packing swordplay and some drama. So far the best of the filler episodes, especially when \\\"Someone\\\" made an appearance. This as i\\\'ve said was exciting so overall i shall rate it a 9.8 out of 10. A MUST SEE.

"Perfect"

By Isaac6356, May 31, 2006

It was a good episode to say the least. Although we don't see what happened with Renji againest those Bount dolls from before, but after seeing that many in the last episode it must of been a long fight to protect that kid. Then those two kids who live with that one guy come and give Ichigo some Bount tracking head band, which he thought was dumb looking. But it lead him to one of his friends who got attacked by the Bount dolls, and a fight with Druk. During the fight, Ichigo comes to the point where he could die, so his Hollow side comes out to play, and own the metal doll. But in the end, Ichigo removes the Hollow Mask he was wearing and was free. But Druk and his doll were not finished. Also, the others are now starting to get ready to fight some Bount members. How will this turn out?

It was great to see some action between the Bount and Ichigo. And it looks like that one guy that Ichigo was trying to save, it looks like he is gonna learn the truth about Ichigo sooner than we thought(?). And at the very end we see a funny Yachiru scene with the bald guy and the fox captain. Great stuff.moreless
