BLEACH 242
watch it here

+ Byakuya is still being a douche

+ Everyone's still pissed at him and Renji tries to stop him from leaving while Ichigo fights Senbonzakura. tut tut! Renji, you should've run and hugged him while squeezing out some crocodile tears, it always works!

+ Ruri-Iro Kujaku reveals that his lifetime dream was to work for Versace and starts giving fashion tips to Yumichika. I love these two!

+ Soifon developed a sense of humour during this arc; after fighting Tenken and Goryomaru she asks him who is his owner. I think that she has a point! Given Chojirou's fondness for Western culture, I think it would've been better if his Zanpakuto manifested itself as a Musketeer or Dragoon, instead of a Ronin. Just to give you an idea, this is how I imagined Goryomaru:

Just kidding

+ Kazeshini tries to take out Kira, and they end up calling each other a 'pussy'
Kira replies telling him if "he's really Hisagi-san's zanpakuto" and "must've been the result of his stress" which pisses off Kazeshini...wow, did someone touch a nerve?

+ Ikkaku faces off against Hozukimaru, in an epic battle of doom. They beat the crap out of each other to see who can be the last one standing.

Last part of the episode: Ashisogi Jizou makes an appearance and scares some random shinigami XDD lol, poor baby.
