*yawn* is it over yet?

"Fair"

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Sep 01, 2009

This whole Bount arc opened pretty bad. That whole "training" episodes, save for one episode, hardly had your attention and weren't even exciting at all--a trait that comes naturally with hotblooded training sequences. That is over and done with, and the whole concept behind these Bounts are pretty interesting, but like the Naruto fillers, the pacing in this episode was just pretty bad. It should be a good episode, but somewhere in the back of your head you know that there is a missing wheel required to make it an enjoyable watch. Maybe we'll find the wheel in the future episodes, and hopefully the interesting concept of the Bounts don't become wasted potential.moreless

The return of Rukia!

"Perfect"

By tepocha, Jun 29, 2008

Yay!!! Rukia is back and shes makes a great entrance by saving Ichigo's butt. Thats why Rukia is my favorite character. Rukia comes and helps Ichigo and friends against the Bounts. Rukia makes the episode even better than it already was. I was as surprised as Ichigo. That snake guy rreally freaks me out I hate snakes. Yoshino doesnt seem to like the snake guy or the guy with the white hair. Kons happy Renji is happy and were all happy and thats what makes this episode so great. Welcome back Rukia and YaY!!! for her return Iheartuall Tepochamoreless

Whooo!!! RUKIA'S BACK!

9.0

"Superb"

By RhedQueen, Sep 21, 2007

Rukia helps Ichigo out with the bount he's fighting at the beginning, and tells him that she was ordered to return to help them face the new enemies call bounts. The bount are some super human race that eat souls. So it's up to them to destroy them. All while going to school, and faking study dates to crash on Ichigo's house, making his dad twist reality into his own suspicions as to why his son brought two chiks to sleep over in his room. ^_^ Guess he forgot about Chad. Meanwhile, Kon is still jealous about the attention Claude is getting from Rukia. ^_^moreless

8.5

"Great"

By yuriOitami, Aug 10, 2007

uruahara tested them on their team work. friend ship, their physical status, and other qualities it is also found out that Ury lost his powers. i really liked this episode a lot they brought in new characters and more was discoverd about those 3 new characters. which they were sent into stuffed animals so they could aid ichgo, chad, orihime, and every one else to find the bounds. rukia came back and everyone was reunited again. there are new super human that are called bounds and suck souls from people. a good episode to me and has a lot more info about characters.moreless

- (Ichigo and Rukia run into Uryu in the hallway at school.) Uryu: Rukia!? Why are you here? What's going on? Keigo: What's up, Uryu? You got a crush on someone? Uryu: (embarrassed and blushing) Uh... um... no! Ichigo: Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell him that you were back...
  EDIT SHARE
- Renji: What are you, an idiot? You're telling me that, in your opinion, these Bounts are probably dangerous? After fighting them, that's all you've figured out? Ichigo: Hey! I don't listen to people who don't know the difference between a window and the front door!
  EDIT SHARE
- (Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, and Orihime gather at Ichigo's house.) Rukia: Sorry for visiting you so late. We decided to spend the evening studying all together at the last minute for our exam tomorrow, as young students often do. Yuzu: Oh, no problem. Make yourselves right at home. Orihime: Thank you, Mr. Kurosaki! (Isshin chuckles.) Ichigo: Dad! I know what you're thinking, but forget it! No coming into my room with cookies or any other lame excuse just to see those girls!
  EDIT SHARE
- Ichigo: I guess it figures. I rescue you and now I'm stuck with you again. Rukia: Hey! That's my line!

- (Rukia has just saved Ichigo from the Bount's attack.) Rukia: What are you doing, fool!? Ichigo: Rukia... Rukia: What's wrong with you, Ichigo? You rusty?

- Kon: Nee-san! (Kon jumps in the direction of Rukia's chest.) Kon: The large boulders from my dreams, that I have seen 180 times, have finally appeared before me in this instant! (Rukia kicks Kon to the ground) Rukia: And just what are the large boulders?!

  EDIT SHARE
- Ryo's doll has a release like a zanpakutou that turns into a snake. To release the snake he says "Show your face, Fried"
  EDIT SHARE
- Rukia now has a standard gigai, as opposed to the special power dampening one that Urahara gave her when she first lost her powers. She suffers no loss of power or abilities as shown by her speed and use of kidō against the Bount's fire creature.

- Hanatarō makes a brief apperance during this episode.
