Bleach: Episode 142
Rating: 7.5/10
Impressions:
It’s nice to see that the next few episode titles do confirm the continuation of the manga storyline. Ichigo and company are set for Hueco Mundo, and episode 146 is labelled as the one where we finally get to see Nell! And hear how she talks. I can say that I’m really looking forward to the episode where we are introduced to the fully grown Nell (oops, spoilers =P), which will be quite a while (30 episodes more?) Speaking of which, even though once everyone’s in Hueco Mundo, fillers won’t be able to fit in anywhere. But knowing Bleach’s studio, a way around will be found. I hope the storyline won’t be altered due to this.
This episode covers another two chapters of the manga. This episode feels rather slow, once again, though the hype generated by the reunion of Chad, Ishida and Ichigo is pretty large. I’m not sure if it’s a new track or not, but the accompanying music is excellently inserted as well. The next episode will cover the revival of a significant character, which I can’t wait to see, as I can just imagine the climactic moment at which it happens. From the preview (there’s actually a preview this time—either that or DB has been taking out previews), you can see Inoue meeting Aizen. It must be a pretty scary thing to do, and it’s really sad how a lot of people think she’s betrayed them.
Technically, Orihime does ‘want’ to go to Hueco Mundo, but for far different reasons that what Soul Society probably thinks. Not only that, in the face of an arrancar, what would refusing do? Get yourself killed, most likely. It’s tough to make conclusions about Inoue with such evidence—geez, Yamamoto can be annoying sometimes. I hate how decisions are so one-sided with Yamamoto. It would have been really interesting to see some sort of conflict between Ichigo and the captains, or better yet, an argument between him and Yamamoto which demonstrates his lack of care for Soul Society rules. I doubt Ichigo can accept the rules of some alien society, and I sure don’t want him to.
Note: No time to add manga pictures—have to finish the autumn preview x_x

I’ve got my friend hooked on bleach now! My gf will be next.
holy crap ISHIDA makes a cameo
Well that was the best episode for a really long time. I await next week with bated breath.
Iie, DB hasn’t been taking out the previews. The RAW never had them either. Unless S^M’s been taking them out, too xD
I have no clue who this Nell is, but sounds interesting ^^ Can’t wait for this arc to really get into it!
I can’t wait for ichigo and ishida’s dads to show up ^.^
Weeping commences as Rukia fans are once again forced to part ways with her.
This is painful and deep shit right here.
LOL, I was like ROFL when ichigo yelled “ASSHOLE!” against Yamamoto xD
awww… it was a good episode….but it felt a bit different from manga…not as intense, i guess:) in this pisode, i for the first time actually HATED ICHIGO. coz he’s so depressing…and the way he was so mean and arrogant towards Tatsuki is just unforgivable, when Tatsuki punched him, i was like “yeah! that’s what u should to him”…he did deserve a punch.
and i can’t wait for the next episde!!! one of my favorite characters is coming back to ****** ranks! :))))
OMG…Its getting soooo INTERESTING…can’t wait for the WINTER SHOWDOWN…ahhhhh….
Please no re-caps later. Grimmjaws return is next week and Season 7 starts also! Cant Wait!
Next episode, a revival of a significant character.. Interesting..
haven’t really seen the manga but i heard Neliel Tu Oderschvank(my friend wrote the name down for me) is great.
do you think ichigo can really rescue inoue??? if he would be successful then that would be the end of the story and we haven’t seen yet the vizards cooperating and having some action, same with the captains of soul society…hmmm…i think there would be a second plan for this….
you’re forgetting Bleach can work on the King’s Key story afterwards
ok…but if the rescue of inoue would be successful..then the hougyoku will be less powerfull..then how can they forge the king’s key….ah sorry i think i need just to wait and watch the coming episodes…it’s was just that waiting 1 episode per 2 weeks is tiring………
i think the winter showdown would take more than 50 episodes to wait xD
so what if Ichigo was mean to Tatsuki, it is none of her business. I do get pissed at Ichigo though, for getting his ass whooped all the time. It would be so awesome if his new power actually whooped someone’s ass for good instead of always leaving him all scuffed up and someone else saving him. It’s always nice to see a blow-out once in a while.
I agree with the captain commander, ichigo needs to go train and forget about inoue until winter. What is he going to do Hueco mundo? He hasn’t defeated (killed) one espada yet, but he will go beat the whole gang plus Aizen & the other shinigami traitors… with Sado and Ishida… riiight.
maybe they’ll make urahara training Tatsuki and co. into a few fillers. I’m just assuming thats what he’s doing while they’re away, since it’s not mentioned in the manga or anime.
wow, if they just left her there, that would be terrible! it’s their unspoken oath or something to always help each other, (and at the same time NOT help each other coz theyre too arrogant to work together.. ??? people in this show confuse me!)
but anyway, yea if they hadn’t broken into hueco mundo they would never get a kick-ass arrancar friend! besides, anyone notice a little repeating history here? urahara sends ichigo and co. into a foreign world to rescue their female companion who has been kidnapped/imprisoned there, everything seems completely hopeless because the enemies completely overpower them. yet somehow they win each battle growing stronger, and make a few allies there as well~!
it’s really great to see urahara fighting, he’s so funny you know… have you all seen the anime bleach episode 145? it was the last episode released in anime. it’s really great. Specially toushirou, he’s the best… woohooo!!! with his hyourenmaru… the best…. can i ask for some comment about Captain Histugaya toushirou? it’ll be better if it is a positive comment… hehehe
GOod !!
i’m on episode 149 i am watching it on youtube ^^ in japanese WITH SUBS IN ENGLISH ^^ also i lov urahara!!!my account in youtube is DDX1944 ^^ C YA!
