Summary:
Ichigo is thrown into a strange desert world where he is called “Chigo”. Chad, Uryuu, and Orihime are now Chaido, Urio, and Ori Mei respectively, and they act like everything is normal and only Ichigo does not understand what is going on. They travel on a giant eel across the desert into a town to steal the Snow Crystal from the mansion of “Ura Vira” (Urahara). Urio describes the crsytal as pure white, shiny, and cold to the touch. They find a room full of treasures and locate a lamp (Kon) in the middle of the room. Urio reveals that it is all a dream and the story is “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp”. However, Ura Vira discovers them, and releases various traps. Chigo rubs the lamp and “Rukiruki” comes out, but she refuses to grant them a wish because of his “tainted heart” and orange hair. Finally he manages to taunt her into granting them three wishes, though Orihime uses one for cake. Rukiruki teleports them out into a toilet and they escape. They fight over whether to use the final wish for the Snow Crystal or for Chigo’s dream to end, but “Ren Jin” (Renji) appears and tells them that Rukiruki has been sent to “Lamp Society” to be executed for breaking the laws. The four then immediately take off on a magic rug (which turns out to be Yourichi) to save her. Yourichi explains that Rukiruki will be executed by the “Solamp” and they will have to defeat the thirteen “Court Lamp Squads”. Chigo then gets thrown into scene after scene similar to ones he’s faced before. He saves Rukiruki from the Solamp (which turns out to be a tiny bird), then defeats Byakuya. For his final wish, he wishes for the Snow Crsytal, stating that he will wake up sooner or later. However, it turns out to be a fishcake; and Isane (who was the dreamer) wakes up with a start.

Impressions:
This was the special omake for the 10th anniversary of the Bleach manga, and I found it pretty amusing. It didn’t bore me due to the fast pace and there were funny parts as well. Large parts of it were like a summary (albeit a Persian version) of the Soul Society arc. The whole dream aspect was also pretty interesting, since it was easily relatable to my own dreams (such as the fact that pain doesn’t wake you up), much like Inception was. There was the art and statues resulting from Ichigo’s subconscious, and indeed the whole dream mirrors Ichigo’s experiences and characters retain their personalities. At first, Ichigo was just fighting all the discrepancies in the dream, but in the end he finally learns to just have fun. When I realize I’m in a dream, it’s a good idea to mess around and see what happens, since one can afford to do things that are impossible in real life.
The rest are just random points I noticed:
— Orihime looks and acts more like her original and much-less-annoying dopey self
— “Ura Vira” was hilarious as he unleashed attack after attack using Indiana Jones/Angel Beats-style traps: huge ball, arrows, dogs, lasers
— The battering ram suddenly stopped while Chigo was messing with Rukiruki, which did not make sense at all given the time they were talking
— I laughed at the final super clichéd fight (Ichigo vs Byakuya) with massive explosions, power-ups and charging at each other; it was even more over-the-top than the real fight
— The revelation that Isane was the one dreaming all along was an unexpected twist, and shows that she knows a surprising amount of Ichigo’s experiences and friends…
That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Wouldn’t have minded a whole arc set in a weird parallel world showing the cast in different settings and stuff. It’d be a nice break from the endless fighting in the main story lately.
This is almost somewhat a satire of the first arc of Bleach. Funny how Byakuya was wearing a costume like that. I’m sort of surprised that you didn’t put up pics of Byakuya (while wearing the costume) and Zaraki ( when he was a giant.)
There’s a pic of Byakuya’s costume

I think he meant that seaweed thing costume.
my bad
yes, as sguart said, I meant the ridiculous ambassador seawead costume, not Byakuya’s sudden change in wardrobe.
okay so not plagerizing, but more like a re-run.
sorry, I hit the wrong button, the plagerizing coment was meant for the response below.
Thank you Sqaurt for noticing, I also noticed that this episode came a bit late, the wedding must have went well for you Proof……. I hope.
It’s funny how the dream plagiarized this scene, it seems like Tite Kubo might be running out of ideas.

Ichigo really knows how to push people’s button, it makes me forget how many times is did he did that so far in bleach.

How is plagarizing if the material is by the same guy?
He used a big word, but wasn’t sure about the exact definition.
for some reason I found that more interesting than the canon story arc XD
Bleach fillers are better than the trainwreck canon storyline.
It was a nice episode. Especially since I’ve grown so tired of Aizen (tell me if there is anyone who hasn’t)…
The Wakame-Taishi costume was priceless!
Btw, is it just me or does Chigo’s pants seem out of place? They remind me more of the Joker from Batman than anything related to Persia.
Personally I wish they had made a filler arc out of this instead of some of the other material we had to sit through. Ah well, at least I got to see Rukiruki getting pecked by a bird.
Was a good anniversary episode. Inoue was her old school funny self (I miss that).
You should name these bleach posts as LAST impressions (or FINAL) tho not FIRST as they get posted on the weekend 4-5 days after the episode airs.
They are my first impressions; they are posted a few days after the episode airs because of real life.
This review desperately needs Jaalin’s hi-LA-rious captions!
Happy 10th, Bleach.
SOOO AGREED!

this is a hot pix from fourth squad captain… the again she looks sexy when shes not wearing her captain robe…
I was cracking up on “Rukiruki” switching between her tiny genie voice to Rukia’s pissed off voice during the conversations.
Whoa it seems this episode was rather good!
I chose not to watch it just because it was a filler.
Okay then I’ll change my mind on this one!
This episode was a great way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Bleach. Loved a lot of the in-jokes and really, I was left wanting more after the episode finished. Would have been fun to see the rest of the ‘Thirteen Lamp Court Squads’ in their costumes. Honestly after hearing about the premise weeks ago, I’d have thought it’d have been really funny to see Hitsugaya as the ‘Snow Crystal’.

Komamura 🙁
Why do I get this feeling this is proof that everyone involved with the production of bleach hates him?
“When I realize I’m in a dream, it’s a good idea to mess around and see what happens, since one can afford to do things that are impossible in real life.”
lol I always wake up when I realize I’m in a dream
Everyone hates him! I really think the one that should be hated must be Omaeda…
you replying to my post or someone else?
Fuck lol filler. ;D
well..that was kinda retarded..I’d rather see them in school doing some slice of life type sh!t. but i cant front, i LOL’ed at the little phoenix eating rukias bang “i always wished someone would grab that thing” hahaha!
It was nice seeing Orihime being cheerful again instead of crying and begging for help
Thank you the screen, Prooof.
is this another filler?
No, this is the beginning of the canonical “Lamp Society” arc.
Of course it is a filler, read the text that prooof has placed in the article.
I for one was quite dissapointed. A 10 year anniversary and this was what we got? Dissapointing to say the least…
*waiting for you Seitokai Yakuindomo post..* |3
One shot filler episodes are way better than filler arcs IMO. A humorous episode is what Bleach needs right now. With all the drama happening in every episode it’s getting stale right now. I wish Rukiruki would make me forget all of the filler arcs.
If only, conyo. If only! I do think it’s a great break from the monotony of the main story.
This episode was way better than the the main story now a days I find bleach filler episodes better than the main crappy story the zanpakuto arc was kicking the manga ass almost every week.
that arc was not that good, the bounto where better for that purpose.
Instead of showing more of the same shinigami stuff they gave us a whole new race in the bount-arc.
and it had a Ichigo/Byakuya tag team fight. What more could you want?
Not good? It was the best to me seeing ichigo saving hichigo for once and not the other way around was refreshing also seeing them fight together was pretty awesome. The bount arc was ok the first half was very similar to YYH black chapter saga it just feels like a cheap rip off The tag team fight was alright I guess but compare to Byakuya vs Koga it was shit the fight was even better than the Ichigo vs Ulquiorra it’s one of the best bleach fights I ever seen since the last good bleach fight was Ichigo vs Grimmjow.
They’re doing an arc based on the Bleach in Foreign Country art?! I DO APPROVE.
😀 I hope we get to see Rukia in a Cheongsam.
No they aren’t. This was a filler episode, not a filler arc.
Finally somebody remembers Ishida (currently sooooo negelcted in the manga version ) >.<
