    For a filler arc, not only was it surprisingly better than I expected, but it opened up with a pretty interesting pilot. The way it ended, it gives you that bloodrush feeling whenever you see the antagonists of a given arc within an action shounen. Though it was more than that. Seeing Orihime try to train hard because she was of little help in the Soul Society arc was pretty inspiring to watch, really makes you appreciate her character even more. And the comedy here was actually funny. Orihime constantly getting brain freeze wasn't really funny more than it was amusing. Overall, a promising filler arc, hopefully it can keep it up.moreless

    Renji comes to the material world. Pretty Self explanatory. You might want to skip over this episode. Nothing really happens except for Renji's 60s outfit. Renji followers will totally love his attitude and funny remarks. Hmm let's see what else. . . oh Inoue goes all emo and feels useless but Tatsuki's always there for her and tells her not to worry and stuff. Renji seems more delicate than he seems, when he gets put under pressure by Urahara and company. ^_^ Chad and Inoue start training on their own, to help Ichigo in the future. Orihime's brother returns and it turns out that there are new enemies they must deal with.moreless

    • Shinigami Golden: Ichigo has taken Kon to Ishida to be fixed. Ishida, however, has turned Kon's mane into lace. Kon is angry and beats up Ishida, complaining about how he looks like a lace fairy instead of a lion. Next, it shows Kon back to normal, with Ishida asking if that is better. Kon says it is and tells Ishida to do it right the first time. Ichigo notices that Ishida put the Quincy symbol on the back of Kon's head, but decides to keep quiet about it.

    • Kon: Put a sock in it, you two! It's the middle of the night!
      Renji: Wh-wh-what is that?!
      Kon: After arguing with you about Rukia, I was so upset I had to count three herds of sheep to get to sleep. Now that I'm awake, the sheep are out of the pen because of you! Idiots!

    • (preview for the next episode) Uryu: I wonder where Orihime disappeared to. Hey! Why don't we follow her scent. You could do that, couldn't you, Yoruichi? Yoruichi: Sure. No problem. Ichigo: (amazed) What? You mean, cats can do that? Yoruichi: Are you kidding? It's a piece of cake for someone like me! Ichigo: I had no idea you could do that! Yoruichi: Not really.

    • (Ichigo destroys a Hollow.) Renji: (sarcastically) Good job! Ichigo: Cut the crap! Don't just leave your body lying around like that! Hurry up and put it back on! Renji: I don't wanna go back in! I just got out of it!

    • Ichigo: You think you might want to explain what the hell you're doing here!?Renji: Yeah, well... what do you care what I'm doing here? No reason for you to get all upset... Ichigo: Oh, yes there is! You yelling like that in front of everybody! Renji: Oh, man. This gigai's not comfortable at all! I can't imagine why Rukia stayed in hers as long as she did... Ichgio: What... are you... doing here? Renji: Eh... well, it's like this. It seems that I've been put in charge of this Karakura town. Mr. Urahara told me where you were. I came to see you, and that's the story. Now I'm in charge. Ichigo: You are, are ya? Renji: Yeah. Ichigo: You're just a Lieutenant. Renji: Uh... Ichigo: You got demoted! Renji: I did not! I had to come over here because of idiots like you leaking spirit energy!

    • Isshin: Good Morning, Ichigo! Crashes through window as Ichigo moves in time Isshin: Owwww! You've improved your skills Ichigo! You dodged Dad's lordship second-semester-wonderful kick!! Ichigo: You're annoying. Isshin: Then Dad'll try the crazy - Ichigo kicks him in the face.

    • Ishida: Perfect! Kon: Darnit! What do you mean "perfect"?! Who told you to add this fancy-nancy style?!?! Ishida: It's my unique arrangement! Kon: That's what I don't want! Look! You turned my mane into lace, so instead of a lion, I look like a lace fairy!!! (After fixing Kon a second time) Ishida: Are you satisfied now? Kon: Do it right from the start. Thanks! Ichigo: And the Quincy motif on the back of his head... well, guess I'll keep it to myself.
