Summary:
After Ulquiorra blasted a hole through Ichigo’s chest, apparently killing him, Inoue rushes to Ichigo and attempts to use her powers to heal him. Ishida attacks Ulquiorra in an attempt to buy time for Inoue, but his attacks are ineffective and he is quickly defeated. Ichigo, after Inoue cries out for him, suddenly revives and transforms into a new hollow form. This form is able to easily beat back Ulquiorra using various hollow powers. Though Ulquiorra is able to stay in the fight due to his regenerative powers, he still is unable to land a hit with his Lanza del Relámpago, and Ichigo fires a cero at point blank range.

Impressions:
I thought this was one of the most exciting episodes of Bleach in a while. While Inoue got on my nerves with her repeated crying for Ichigo, this was perhaps the natural response given the situation. I felt rather sorry for Ishida, who clearly tried his best. If only other characters would fight with their brains in addition to brawn, many Bleach fights might have ended differently. He can fire a impressive barrage of arrows and move at a decent speed; it’s unfortunate his arrows don’t have enough power and his deadlier attacks take too long to set up.
For a moment, I wondered what it would be like if Ichigo actually died, but it seems this series doesn’t deviate too far from shounen clichés. However, seeing Ichigo’s new hollow form was very cool indeed and I wonder if this was in any way related to Inoue’s powers. While her powers purportedly can turn back time, it is not clear whether it can reverse even death (since there was no noticeable healing with Soten Kisshun). Regardless, with this new form Ichigo pretty much completely turned the battle around 180 degrees, reversing the power difference (though I noticed Ulquiorra wasn’t crushed as badly as Ichigo had been previously). With a attack stronger than Ulquiorra’s best cero and coupled with incredible speed, I’m curious how well he (it?) would do against Aizen. The hollow form is clearly not just a berserker attacking blindly, instead using various tactics to complement its power.
I was disappointed that Ulquiorra didn’t manage to land a hit in with Lanza del Relámpago; I was wondering how much damage it could do Ichigo if it hadn’t missed (it looks as powerful as a nuke). This point might be null though, seeing as how he pretty much grabbed the lance and crushed it with his bare hands. And now with this battle coming to an end, we’ll be seeing more of Rukia, Chad, and Renji next week.
It (Hollow/Ichigo)lost his gift of speech then he is in this form 😀 Show Spoiler ▼

dude don’t spoil it for the people watching just the anime
https://randomc.net/image/Bleach/Bleach%20-%20271%20-%20Large%2026.jpg
This is the only reason I’ve been watching Bleach up to this point.
Exactly same for me.
i know right it has been agonizing waiting for this fight. I haven’t felt this way about a bleach fight since Byakuya vs Ichigo (Grimmjow vs Ichigo was kinda meh and followed my expectations which I hate…surprise me damn it.)
agreed
i just didn’t expect his whole body to turn white
i thought it would stay that peach-ish asian color
I see the video changed a bit from what was released in Soul Carnival 4. I like it better. Especially Ichigo growling and roaring rather than shrieking.
But I’m still disappointed with the quality of the animation. Although Ichigo is undoubtedly cool and badass.
Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun!
Also epic censoring on Ishida’s arm. In the manga it was ripped completely off, here he only broke it. There was some good use of the music and sound effects this episode.
Random note: I find your choice of screens to be a bit odd.
I thought Uryu’s hand was just sliced off by Ulquirorra.
Bryon
Well, his forearm up to his hand is more or less what I meant, not his entire arm. And it wasn’t exactly shown in the manga but I’m pretty sure it was ripped off rather than “sliced” as Ulquiorra has no sword in his final resurrection form.
Another thing they censored, in the manga, Ichigo threw Ulquiorra’s arm back at him after he cut it off instead of throwing a random piece of boulder.
Get used to censoring with Bleach. It’s been around for a while.
Also, they censored what happened to Ishida. Doesn’t he lose that arm completely in the manga?
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100519085623/bleach/en/images/7/76/Battle_Damaged_Ury%C5%AB2.png
yes
I’ll be damned. I haven’t read the manga but Look at that! Oh well, arms won’t matter I guess, It’ll grow back like a new leaf.
I’m going to love seeing how they either explain Ishida losing his arm later (amputation?) or just not using it when it could help outside of filler.
They could have made the fight a bit longer and better imo…
Ulqi had no reason to go to his second stage other then just to show off. If they waited with that and Ulqi finished Ichigo in his first stage, we maybe could have a nice fight with Super-Saiyan 3 Ichigo and Second Etapa Ulqi..
Now it was just the one dominating over the other the whole time…
Seriously, this show could be much much better if wasnt censored, like the ol’ bloody episodes…i mean what the hell with that burnt arm, did Ulqoirra farted and made a fire?
I got the impression that the sound effect when creating the first Lanza del Relámpago was worse than in the SC preview.
aah come on, the manga totally pwns the anime with this part, and here I was even looking forward to seeing the anime at this part.
really, why do they censor the things that totally makes this series 10x better…
Eh, I didn’t think it made much of a difference. I like the anime version because of how they extended the H2 Ichigo vs. R2 Ulquiorra fight which was way too brief in the manga.
I know it’s a sick thought, but I always imagine Ulquiorra getting terribly raped by Ichigo at this point.
Do you wait for the subs to come out. Or do you watch the raws?
i hopefully a remastered-uncut version will be realized like with DBZ. I will never understand why you would mess with something that is so popular. Everyone watches the anime to see what happened in the manga in motion. Cutting certain stuff out and adding stuff in (fillers) is stupid.
@ Bettlebum
Manga. If I were you, I’d tell PROOOF to fuck off for the unhidden spoiler. What a miscast.
You could just point it out and ask him to fix it instead of being an ass.
Point out?
You can’t prevent other people from being stupid if they already are.
They’ll come up with new ways to fuck it up.
He’s a miscast, every post he fucks something up. He shouldn’t be needing anyone to point anything out, he should use his brain instead and at least review what he just wrote before publishing.
Your trolling is the only miscast here.
Did anyone else laugh when Ulquiorra said “Impossible” when Ichigo got up and turned into the 2nd hollow/hollow form? LOL.
It was a nice episode and good to see Ulquiorra getting owned.
However they made a blubber here:
https://randomc.net/image/Bleach/Bleach%20-%20271%20-%20Large%2013.jpg
Ulquiorras hand is white with no claws.
wow i never noticed that.good eye
That’s not his hand…
@Tenck
lol. What *you’re* looking at isn’t his hand but the other one sure is.
that was an accidental spoiler on proof’s part, lol. you won’t be seeing that fight until next year at the latest.
The animation team is really getting the hang of the battle choreography. It really looked awesome in the part where ulquiorra was looking up and we can see the moon then it moved ( ichigo punch him). There were all sorts of views like pan ups, pan downs, etc. Ive never seen Bleach be this creative since episode 219.

looks like we have a Saika wannabe.
We still don’t have confirmation that it was actually a Vasto Lorde. Based on what Hitsugaya said you have to work your way up from the start as a Hollow, including consuming other Hollows and losing your original self.
I think PROOOF should really cut out those manga-thingy. I hold myself from watching manga to keep anime interesting. I came here just to see a few of comments and others’ point of view. If he keep spoiling, its not fun anymore. Please keep the manga spoiler to the manga part. Peace.
Why is this uncategorized?
I felt rather sorry for Uryu in this fight, since he’s an archer losing one of his hands pretty much makes him back to being powerless. The censorship didn’t make much sense–it’s OK to sever Ulquiorra’s arm, but not to throw it at him or do the same to Ishida. Of course, I don’t think we’ll see Uryu leave the series in the manga or the anime thanks to his injury. In the manga we’ll just have to rely upon magic healing powers to give him his arm back from the elbow down … in the anime he’ll need a cast for a week or so. 😛
Ichi’s Resurrecion was as awesome as I’d been waiting for. I figured his transformation would be the cliffhanger, instead we got to see a considerably expanded fight in SSJ3 (the manga felt like it was 4 pages between Resurrecion and Ulqui getting cut in half).
Show Spoiler ▼
Sadly you see the censorship already in the preview.
Man, it’s times like these I wish bleach never moved time slots, I miss when they were allowed to show blood. Still a great episode though.
Two things…
First in light of what Aizen has said recently in the manga about how Ichigo became who he is we see the anime setting that up alot better then the manga did. Many of Ulquiorra’s comments and observations about Ichigo seem to reinforce that point. Show Spoiler ▼
Secondly for as long as Bleach has been around there were 2 camps of people that wanted a pairing of Ichigo to either Inoue or Rukia. Clearly IF there will ever be a romance between Ichigo and one of the 2 female leads its going to be Inoue.
SUPER SAIYAN LEVEL 3
Yep couldnt put in better words. So right. lol
Are you tards still whining about Aizen in a condom? Get over yourselves, this isn’t your site to run so quit your bitching.
That was to Waltz btw, odd it didn’t nest my comment
Don’t know if it’s because of the colors, but in the manga he looked monstrous while in the anime he looks like an action hero.
once again…the anime producers have to ruin the manga…ishida was suppose to have his arm cut off…seriously..someone needs to take over this show..
I liked the contrast in colors they gave them. powerful, Fiery red ichigo seemed like a war god while lightning fast, green and black Ulquiorra seemed like death itself. It was like a fight between death and war… War won.
Usually the anime version is toned down from the manga due to “Imported” reasons.
I expected this fight to be a bit longer but yeah I wish the shorten the role of Inoue in this episode. It feels like that’s the only one they extended it from the manga.
Even though it is enjoyable I felt that there is more they can do to make it better than making it pretty.
Actually after comparing it with the manga version, they extended Ulquiorra’s fights with both Ishida and Ichigo with some pretty good filler. Nothing really new was added to Orihime’s bit. If you felt the fight was a little too short, it was in the even shorter in the manga. Though I think it’d cheapen the impact of how strong Ichigo became if he didn’t beat Ulquiorra quickly which was probably why it wasn’t extended by too much.
>.> Eh I Wish They Used “Stand Up Be Strong” In Any Part Of Ichigo Vs Ulquiorra
Think about it: Ichigo’s new hollow hole is right where Ulquiorra blasted him with his cero.
That’s the point. It’s not a hollow hole, it’s the hole from the cero. It just looks like a hollow hole. A hollow gains it’s hole by losing it’s metaphorical heart.
Anyone know why Ishida didn’t get his arm severed like in the Manga.
Did anyone else notice on the Dattebayo fansub, for a split-second before “This Week on Bleach” they show a single frame of Hiyori? It looks like it’s from later in the season, specifically Show Spoiler ▼
. Did something air in Japan right before the episode that a single frame got left over from?
I’m 90% sure that frame is from the opening, something to do with the encoding that screwed it up. You’ll see it at the 1:29 mark on the current episode
this was the coolest ep of bleach…ever! it was awesome to see ichigo totally just obliviate ulquiorra after the beating he recieved last week. and i loved ichigo’s hollow form — just totally awesomeness ^_^
This episode had me conflicted. On the one hand we had yet more of Ishida being absolutely useless, just like every other human in the entire series. In addition Orihime was even more useless, throwing away everything she said pre-Hueco Mundo about wanting to get stronger in exchange for ‘Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun’ once every five seconds.
On the other hand, we finally have a fight equal to the fights with Byakuya or Grimmjow. Also someone FINALLY beats Ulquiorra.
Any one wonder about ichigo’s soul reaper form. Would it have internal organs anyways? I thought it was just a mass of spirit particles, so even if he got his chest blown out would he have a need for organs anyway?
bleach is my all time favorite anime
finally god i love you i could now die in peace
pffff the only reason that i still watch this freakin anime is this fight
now i could leave bleach in your hand guys will drop the anime and concentrate on the manga
sigh~ quality issues =_=
SS3 Ichigo anybody? hurhurr
Utterly amazing that the one time I decide to read the first couple of comments on a Bleach post to see the reactions – since getting this part spoiled for me months ago – that the reply to the first post is another spoiler not using spoiler tags.
Seriously, to people who don’t read the manga, this place is hell. You can’t look anywhere. Discussion in the comments isn’t possible because every other post is a spoiler, and even the front page manga posts always have a screenshot that ruins something.
Discretion, guys?
I just hope Ichigo would get full control of that form. Like killer bee who was able to control the Hachibi with no problem. It would be exciting to see Ichigo get fool control of this form. My gut tells me that this is his ultimate form. Also, to people such as Torint, if your interested come here and read this little fanfic. If your a fate/stay night fan, you might enjoy this crossover. This guy plans to have a hollow IChigo story witten down.

This week’s Curb-Stomp Battle brought to you by….
Anyone get the whole point of Ulquiorra’s repeated ‘soul’ comments at the preview of the next episode? It was like ‘you have a soul, therefore you rage, you have a soul, therefore you steal…’ and then ‘I want you all to myself’
that was actually Ulquiorras poem from volume 40 that was being said in the preview. he is talking about orihime.
I thought when the chapter came out, people hated how it went. But now they were excited seeing it animated, I don’t get it anymore.
they censored ishida losing his hand but they didnt censor ulquiora losing his arm?
well it was still pretty good.
though I like ichigoXorihime, I think I would like it better if she was a yandere, at least she would be more interesting(and probably helpful) and I like yandere more than tsundere.
… Orihime is nothing like a tsundere… she is just deredere if anything. In fact the only person more deredere is the scar girl from Durarara.
what I actually meant was that orihime would be more interesting as a yandere than a tsundere rukia(for me cause I prefer yanderes), then she would be more “useful” since yandere are creepy, smart and tricky when it comes to “protecting” their love interest.
I think the only reason why they let the Ulquiorra arm bit go was because it doesn’t necessarily matter if he loses as he isn’t human and can regenerate it. It was also a story point/device i.e. his true specialty/power is hyper regeneration of any part of his body. In Ishida’s case he’s human. While having Orihime there would negate anyone really caring about losing limbs, I think the censors thought it would be too violent for the kiddies to see. This is after all showing on prime time TV in Japan.
But yeah, even after saying all of the above, I still don’t really get the censoring criteria and why certain things slide sometimes.
@Karis – I never hated this chapter. It was one of my favorites and having it animated was really rewarding. This is one of the best Bleach fights in the entire Manga/Anime
Hmm, I thought Uryuu suppose to lose his hands but it didn’t.. O_o
Man, I really hate Ichigo now for doing this to Ulquiorra. >_<
Thank you so much for the screencaps and the summary~
At least the managa made sense in regards to Ishida. In the anime it makes no sense why Ishida didn’t use his Heavenly Wild Suit Puppet technique. If Ulquiorra only broke his arm then he should have been able to use that technique to continue firing arrows. I guess since it was all the way back in episode 44 the anime crew were betting on everyone having forgotten about that.
ah I now know why it wasnt so exciting, it lacked some cool background music like when mayuri released bankai against szayel apporo.
buh i hate bleach with is censure …ishida was more cooler in the manga …anime ruined all >.> but nice episodes i guess
@amado I Know Right >.> It Was Really Annoying I Was Hoping For “Stand Up Be Strong” xD
Holy crap, it’s Krauser-sama!! This slow-ass plot advancement must have summoned him from Hell!!
Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!! Go to DMC!!
TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Ulquiola gogogogogogogogoogogo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought ichigo cut off uryyus arm
oops i justed looked back in the manga and ichigo didnt cut off ishida arm he just threw his sword in his chest
Daaamn, I so wished that when Ulquiorra was asking him “Who are you”, ichigo hollow would answer “I aint got a name” just like in byakuga fight, you know 😀
damnit, i dont wanna see rukia or chad nor other boring characters.
I want to see more of that cool looking hollow form with horns!!!
Ah was nice to finally see this part animated. There was a little bit of filler in this episode but it wasn’t too bad as it didn’t feel unnatural and it extended their fight slightly which was nice.
yeah bleach, seemingly in anime failure yet again…
why? everyone who reads the manga do not even need to memorise the plot to see the drag (ishida va ulquiorra, ichigo hollow form va ulquiorra), and the censorship (ishida’s hand, ulquiorra’s hand almost) specially made to NOT let the kids in the peak hours see the gore and more of the fun…
anyways, looking forward more towards harribel liao, since they… have more powers to show us? YEAH…
ぜンカーイ:
Yep. This just got me sucked back into bleach… haven’t been watching due to all the crappy ‘Muramasa’ fillers.
btw the hiragana spells Ze-n-ka-i
that’s katakana
I saw this episode and i was Blown Away. The shock and awe.
LOL . blown Away on the fact of how much this show sucks.I knew bleach was crap but when my 10 cousin said this show sucked it became offcail.
I ROFL when Ulquiorra said “Impossible” and was sad at the same moment when Ichigo did his Total BS Plot Powered Up. Yeah i read the manga what a year ago but this was awful. Ichigo is one of the worst shounen main characters ever. Ulquiorra was to good for this show so is Urahara, Yoruichi, Byakuya, and my man Kenpachi(Kenpachi = awesomeness)
I had the ability i would erase Ichigo from existence.(yea i know)
If anyone is interested, Crunchyroll has a petition to send to Tokyo for them to simulcast Bleach. They need 100,000 signatures by Friday. Here is the link. http://www.crunchyroll.com/petition/wewantbleach
i sign it
Just watched 272! I have never missed an episode and never posted a comment but that is by far THE BEST episode so far. i really really mean it. i knew what was going to happen but so what, ef in AWSOME!
Bleach is always the best 😀 Apart from One Piece 😉
nooooooooooo,
plz ulquiorra dont die
damn u ichigo and your stupid power-boost outa nowhere
but it was cool to see something new in bleach
they have been flying around for the past 50 episodes with nothing new
just stupid bs fights after fights
so far the dumbest fight was sado and renji vs the giant sand-guy episode 268
i couldn’tbelieve they gave us that fight in the middle of the ulquiorra fight
renji’s bankai has been reduced to be used side by side with sado
Someone kill orihime already. Maybe I might appreciate her character better that way, as an innocent casualty of war. My patience with this series is already stretched out and her
screaming “kurosaki-kun” isn’t helping at all. I love the action and the adrenaline, I just wished there was more to the characters.
I was hoping for her to use her shield to protect uryuu but all she does is cry for ichigo too save them all.
There is definately a lot to learn about this topic.
I like all the points you’ve made.
