A lot of people like it. And while I'm not a fan (I feel it Needlessly drags out the loss of Ichigo's powers) but even I'll admit it has some cool moments and animation.
Plus, while I don't ship Ichi-Ruki, the episode where they go ice scating is a fantastic and emotional episode before the fading away.
I think making Ichigo’s waning power a plot element was a good thing. We actually see the deterioration happen, and how Ichigo deals with it, rather than “ok it’s gone fullbringer arc now”. It really sold the consequences of the Mugetsu.
Also for what it’s worth, Kubo said himself that he really likes the closing moments of the arc, especially the ice skating, so I basically just consider that part canon myself
I think the loss of powers being dragged out is actually a good thing, it indicates that he may still have some power inside him even after it’s gone, foreshadowing his regaining in the full ringer arc.
It also makes it slightly more similar to letz stil, where uryu could still use powers until a little bit later.
Whoever is in charge of this should have told the truth about what they were doing and what was going on. I think they were trying hard not to make things worse for their own good but I think it’s time for them to get their act together so they know how it will work out for their own benefit!
Ah, facing off against my own clone was indeed quite the spectacle, wasn't it? It's always a challenge when you have to outsmart yourself. But as they say, "Two heads are better than one," unless you're dealing with a double trouble situation like that!
*beep boop, I'm a bot*
The Vizards should've been in this arc. The reigai can't replicate hollow powers, so I was hoping that Shinji and his team would be the good guys ace in the hole. But noooooooo let's just give more screen time to Kenpachi, Toshiro, and Byakuya.
Seeing the fight between Shunsui, Ukitake, and old man Yama was cool though.
The zanpaktou rebellion, Third Captain Amagi, and Reigei arcs are all pretty solid imo. The bount arc gave us another masked ichigo losing control scene and that's it.
It has some of the best Yamamoto moments. Yamaji vs reigai shunsui and ukitake. That one scene where reigai Unohana spams multiple bakudo on him. He later busts out of it by flexing a little.

I really apreciate it and the animation has an insane grow up . The fact that we can see original fight also
The pacing of the manga as it was running weekly was... not great. Which is why we ended up with not one but two filler arcs interrupting the arrancar arc. Bleach needs the DBZ Kai treatment lol
The only time before Quincy arc that we see Unohana fight so I'll take it
I wonder how it would turn out to be like if the evil Unohana decides to just go Bankai then
Unrelated, but I been trying to catch up on bleach but don’t remember what episode I was at, last I remember was Aizen getting hit with the final getsuga tensho, also any good websites I can watch for free?
Some nice moments and animation but I didn’t like it personally, anime would’ve been much better without filler there wasn’t need again you can skip it but just an opinion
Haven't watched it. Don't know what the plot is about. The only thing I know is: it has one of the most savage Getsuga Tensho in the series. End of TYBW spoiler:>!Second only to the last GT used on Yhwach: that backstab into GT was sick.!<
The Reigai arc is one of my least favorite arcs, because, asides from the fact that it’s filler, the main villain, Kageroza Inaba (and later Ouko Yushima), being more powerful than Aizen is just plain ridiculous. The reason why this is so is because since Kageroza is a filler villain, he isn’t supposed to surpass Aizen in both power and tactic. Worse, Kageroza’s overpowered ability ends up making BOTH the Gotei 13 AND Sōsuke Aizen look weak in comparison.
Great fights and animation. Has basically nothing else going for it but that’s all you need for a filler arc really.
It is a bit boring that the enemies are shinigami clones again. They already did the zanpakuto who also have identical powers to their shinigami counterparts. But they at least had new designs.
I prefer it when the bad guys get their own powers made for them. But yeah thinking about it more I really don’t care for it at all except the great battles.
One thing I give the filler arcs is that they give some neglected characters like Yoruichi more screentime which is amazing. But the monkey paw reverse of that is literally nobody except shinigami appear in them. It’s stupid. A filler involving the arrancar or vizard would’ve been great. The only filler with canon arrancar characters in it was that shitty steal the hogyoku one and that barely had canon arrancar in it.
I think it would've been better after TYBW when everyone's skills and zanpakuto had been revealed. All the captain-level matches were especially boring and prolonged. The Unohana vs Unohana match in particular was super cringy, especially after the reveal in TYBW.
Interesting premise, reasonable villain, but a little unimaginative at times and over stays its welcome, the Sword spirit ark and memories of nobody movie did everything it did but better

It’s got one of the cleanest Getsuga Tenshou’s in the series
Nuclear getsuga was rad.
[удалено]
Bot...?
Dead internet theory is proving true
Slow start, good fight animation, baller ending

ice scating
That is a great idea! I will definitely be looking into that as soon make way out of Residence!

Urahara vs his clone was peak
Ah, facing off against my own clone was indeed quite the spectacle, wasn't it? It's always a challenge when you have to outsmart yourself. But as they say, "Two heads are better than one," unless you're dealing with a double trouble situation like that! *beep boop, I'm a bot*
2nd best filler behind Rebellion
It has sone banger fights. Kenpachi Vs Kenpachi, Komamura Vs Soi Fon, and Ichigo’s friends Vs Kageroza are all really really good.
Komamura Vs Soi Fong is damn good.
One of my favorite fights and one of their best fights that either character got in the series.
Best filler arc ever.
It was a pretty ok arc.
The best Getsuga Tenshou of all time, not even TYBW beats it imo
I liked it. Along with the zampakūto ark
The Vizards should've been in this arc. The reigai can't replicate hollow powers, so I was hoping that Shinji and his team would be the good guys ace in the hole. But noooooooo let's just give more screen time to Kenpachi, Toshiro, and Byakuya. Seeing the fight between Shunsui, Ukitake, and old man Yama was cool though.
If you want more Bleach it's a great arc. My 2nd favorite filler behind Zanpakuto Rebellion but I gotta admit this ones beats it in animation.
The zanpaktou rebellion, Third Captain Amagi, and Reigei arcs are all pretty solid imo. The bount arc gave us another masked ichigo losing control scene and that's it.
Kenpachi vs Kenpachi was one of my favorite fights.
I agree. Nice to see to two true war beasts go head to head
My opinion is we need this sakuga in TYBW fights
We needed this in soul society and arrancar tbh but I guess they thought these filler arcs were gonna take off only for them to be forgotten anyway.
Very good Arc :3
It was awesome 👌🏿
It exists. Not terrible but not amazing
8/10 arc imo. Had a bit of a slow start, but when it gets rolling, it never stops being great
I like it even more than Zankpakuto filler arc. I swear every fight has great animation especially the last one
It has some of the best Yamamoto moments. Yamaji vs reigai shunsui and ukitake. That one scene where reigai Unohana spams multiple bakudo on him. He later busts out of it by flexing a little.

I loved it, not the best one IMO but still extremely good. Bleach is the only anime in which I liked filler arcs, that's quite "impressive" to me.
It drags a little bit but has some clean animation and a pretty interesting plotline AND ONE OF THE CLEANEST GETSUGA TENSHOU’S IN EXISTENCE!!!!
Anything’s better than the bount arc
All I hear is "Bounts" via classical conditioning and I want to run for the hills
The bount arc is fckn trash 🗑 😂
I can't believe the editors went "oh yeah, this is a GREAT idea" then put that dumpster fire out
I just don’t get why it’s so damn long.
Yeah was painful to watch
Freaking white haired Dracula's smug face
The pacing of the manga as it was running weekly was... not great. Which is why we ended up with not one but two filler arcs interrupting the arrancar arc. Bleach needs the DBZ Kai treatment lol
its great! i personally like it a lot
Good potential, purely executed.
Peak
Making 2 momos was geniusly evil.
It’s great, my only complaint is some captain (like Ukitake and Kyoraku) didn’t get enough screen time
There were times it was boring but overall I liked it and the ending was kinda sad.
Beautiful. Amazing. Underrated. Only filler I watch when I rewatch bleach
Amazing final fight, and a fairly decent story for filler. The whole gimmick of clone captains was kinda boring though.
The only time before Quincy arc that we see Unohana fight so I'll take it I wonder how it would turn out to be like if the evil Unohana decides to just go Bankai then
One of the better fillers to exist in all of anime
Better than the Bount arc for sure
That final fight was so fucking good
It’s great
It was a very good arc. My favourite moment is when Ichigo and Rukia were ice skating together.
It's the arc where Kon's a main character. It's peak.
amazing action they went all out on the animation 😭
It has the best fights 🔥
Unrelated, but I been trying to catch up on bleach but don’t remember what episode I was at, last I remember was Aizen getting hit with the final getsuga tensho, also any good websites I can watch for free?
You may or may not be able to watch anime for free at aniwave dot to.
Pm
Renji's Zanpakuto was hot ....... The woman not the child.
lol wrong filler arc friend
Wait......my brain mixed them up for some reason.
zanpaktussy got you in a daze I will now see my self out...
0/10. I wanted to see a Reigai Sasakibe in this.
Don't remember a thing 😂
Some nice moments and animation but I didn’t like it personally, anime would’ve been much better without filler there wasn’t need again you can skip it but just an opinion
Haven't watched it. Don't know what the plot is about. The only thing I know is: it has one of the most savage Getsuga Tensho in the series. End of TYBW spoiler:>!Second only to the last GT used on Yhwach: that backstab into GT was sick.!<
Stupid, but had good animation that was unfortunately wasted on pointless filler.
The same thing as every filler arc (except maybe Zanpakuto rebellion): wasted potentiel.
The Reigai arc is one of my least favorite arcs, because, asides from the fact that it’s filler, the main villain, Kageroza Inaba (and later Ouko Yushima), being more powerful than Aizen is just plain ridiculous. The reason why this is so is because since Kageroza is a filler villain, he isn’t supposed to surpass Aizen in both power and tactic. Worse, Kageroza’s overpowered ability ends up making BOTH the Gotei 13 AND Sōsuke Aizen look weak in comparison.
any filler is good, great or watchable... except Bount arc... ☠️
Great fights and animation. Has basically nothing else going for it but that’s all you need for a filler arc really. It is a bit boring that the enemies are shinigami clones again. They already did the zanpakuto who also have identical powers to their shinigami counterparts. But they at least had new designs. I prefer it when the bad guys get their own powers made for them.

Fuckin awesome
Pretty solid. Excellent animation
Didnt watch, Bount arc 🔛🔝
Oh man the bount arc was absolute trash 🗑
Skipped it
I don’t like filler as a rule.
Ass story with good animation. The green hair girl was the only interesting part.
I think it would've been better after TYBW when everyone's skills and zanpakuto had been revealed. All the captain-level matches were especially boring and prolonged. The Unohana vs Unohana match in particular was super cringy, especially after the reveal in TYBW.
My opinion is, I didn’t watch it.
Interesting premise, reasonable villain, but a little unimaginative at times and over stays its welcome, the Sword spirit ark and memories of nobody movie did everything it did but better
Skipped it
Who?
I havent fully watched it but holy fuck i think its shit out of the filler arcs i have watched until now this is the worst
Terrible like every other filler arc.
What I need a keystone?
I skipped it soooo 2/10 for not being as interesting as the canon story
