queendork56 | [don't stop bleaching]

It's Tuesday(ish) and that means that it's time for Bleach caps! This time it's episode 54. (Stupid not having an episode last week! It threw me off!)

Spoilers baby...

Last time we left off Rukia was about to be executed after failing to protect her captain's shampoo, failing to protect her brother's shampoo, losing a facial expression contest with Gin, and failing to get a prom date. Poor Rukia. :(

But we're gonna have to keep this pity party at a whisper. Yama is napping.

And now Rukia has fallen asleep... *pokes*

Since Rukia is sleeping we'll go see what Ken-chan is doing! He's still messing around with Komamura.

I don't know if Komamura is growling in this scene or his ban kai is growling... but I loved it.

Awww... they got interrupted by the giant blue light. :(

Ken-chan looks really happy about something though...

While everyone else is freaking out the blue light.

Freaking out...

Freaking out...

Freaking out...

It's so shiny... just like Ikkaku's head...

Slightly perturbed...

Yeah... well... that giant blue light just told us that the execution fixing to start. That means we've got about... 10/20 manga chapters to cover before we're seen again... :(

I see you mysterious shadow that is following Hitsugaya and Matsumoto!

Shit, son! We gotta tell the captain to hurry up or Rukia is gonna be dead by the time we get there!

STFU! Don't you tell the captain to hurry! Captain is never late!

Hey Captain! You better hurry up! We're gonna be late!

Wait a minute....

For some unknown reason I love that Kiyone wears gloves.

Avon calling!

Captain? Did you finish washing your hair?

Ukitake foot...

Hair... is... so... pretty...*_*

So... pretty.... *_*

Spiffy symbol... but I can't help but think I've seen if somewhere before...

Ukitake is ready to do some fishing!

With two very faithful subordinates.

Meanwhile Yachiru and company are still staring at the light.

Hmmm... I just remembered something I forgot...

I'm supposed to have a tea party with Ken-chan...

You should have a tea party! When I was younger I had a tea party and killer stuffed animals attacked me.

I love that her sword has wheels.

That's the best kind of tea party have. That way Ken-chan can cut stuff up.

Hehe... Ganjyu... XD

Ken-chan will be upset if I keep him waiting so...

SeeYaLater!Bye!

And everyone else is left to play catch up.

Yama is still sleeping but we can't wait much longer... we're gonna run out of episode.

Rukia looks pretty upbeat for someone about to bite the big one.

Isane! There just isn't enough of Isane around here.

Unohana shows up at the last minute. (It took me forever to figure out why Isane is carrying a sword on a strap but then I realized that it's Unohana's sword.)

I was wondering how they were gonna do this scene since Unohana was healing Renji instead of being at the execution grounds.

Why is Rukia still on a leash? What is she gonna run away with all these people that are faster than her around?

I told you there wasn't enough Isane!

Random Shinigami!!!!

Need a good landscaper? Call Soukyoku!

Rukia watches the Soukyoku wake up.

I love how they're all in numerical order now. (You know it's because Shunsui is all protective of his Nanao~chan and won't let Byakuya stand beside her. *nods*)

Awww.. Byakuya can't watch.

Rukia thanks Byakuya.

And so it begins...

Poor Rukia... here we are at the end and no one came to save her..

Yama is still napping...

Everyone wave to the seven people who showed up of their own free will! (Yama and his vice captain sorta had to be there.)

Wow... someone forgot to water the trees.

Up, up, up she goes...

Nanao~chan looks upset.

Which of course catches the attention of her captain...

Awww... Who doesn't love Shunsui/Nanao?

Even though they're in the middle of an execution Shunsui is still worried about his Nanao~chan. ^_^

I love the contrast in tees. All dead on the cliff and lush and green down below.

And that pole is on fire!

And clearly some people have never seen an execution with the Soukyoku.

And now it's coming out of the ground...

Soi Fong is stunned.

Nanao is still looking worried.

Even Shunsui is looking a bit uneasy...

We got a wing...

Yeah... I wouldn't look too thrilled about my mode of death if I were you either...

Considering it's a giant bird of fire!

Stupid fire effects! You make it so hard to cap!

That's our Nanao~chan... she even brings her big book of randomness to events like this.

Yama is still napping like there isn't a gaint bird of fire above him.

Unohana looks really good here.

Shunsui hides his eyes.

Soi Fong is still looking kinda shocked.

This wind makes my hair look good.

Rukia eye! And now we go a-flashbacking!

To when she was a kid with Renji. I really wish the kid with the hair over his eyes had gotten to get older too. He probably would have been really, really hot. :(

To Byakuya looking... Byakuya-sih...

To Kaien looking like the massive dork that we all know he was...

Things are getting kinda emotional...

And back to Ichigo looking like he did before he got owned by Byakuya.

I love that it actually gives her time for all of this...

Rukia takes a bit more time to reflect...

And goes on a thanking spree...

She thanks her captain...

She thanks her friends...

She thanks her brother again...

She thanks Ichigo...

Too bad you didn't get that prom date, eh?

Aw crap... she's crying. I knew I shouldn't have brought up the prom!

Sayonara.

Yep... still with the fire.

Wait a minute... Rukia isn't dead...

Why who could this be with the cape and the spiffy and yet very familiar symbol?

That's good cape movement...

Rukia seems a bit... surprised.

Who in the world could be standing on nothing and holding back a giant bird of fire?

Yo.

Reunited and it feels so good.

Ichigo looks sorta like a cross between a superhero and a hobo... a sexy hobo, but a hobo nonetheless.

Reunited for less than five minutes and Rukia is already yelling at him.

Five bucks says that bird just violated him.

Dude... did that bird just...

Let's not talk about that... just keeping yelling at me...

If you say so...

Ichigo was really cutting it close.

Everyone else is just like um... wtf?

Dude... did that bird just...

I mean.. WTF?! I paid good money for these seats!

Why in the world did Kubo decide to give Unohana a braid in the front? Doesn't he know that it's just more work?

Silence! Yama is still napping!

I hope that Ichigo's soul world has a good burn unit cause I think Zangetsu may need it before this is over with...

Shunsui talks about how the one who made it in time was a difter.

Nanao still looks kinda mentally scarred from that whole violation thing.

Byakuya does not look impressed.

OMG! This is my one scene--MY ONE SCENE--and some orange-haired punk shows up and ruins it! Someone call my agent!

That bird just violated him... again.

That's it... I'm taking this bird down.

Hey wait! That's a bird made of fire! I don't think you just charge toward it like that!

But when has Ichigo ever listened to common sense?

Here comes Soukyoku...

Here comes Ichigo...

Remember when I said that Ukitake was going fishing... well it looks like he caught a big one.

Umm... wtf?

More Isane!

The 13th Division has arrived!

Oh yeah... the 8th Division is here too.

You didn't think Shunsui would let Ukitake do something reckless all alone did you?

Captain Ukitake? Captain Kyouraku?

That certainly caught Yama's attention...

We're totally gonna get grounded for this...

Ukitake action shot!

The little shield thingy!

Soi Fong notices the symbol...

And it doesn't take her long to figure out what they're doing...

Double the fun...

Stab that little shield thingy!

Bye-bye birdie!

And now it's raining fire...

Yay! No more fire effect!

Um... I do believe I just told you that I would take this bird down.

He's like Batman!

His eyes are doing that glow thing again...

Umm... why are your eyes all blue and glowing? I'm not feeling very good about this anymore...

Ichigo does his impression of a helicopter.

He looks really... evil when his eyes are like that.

This is no time to play helicopter!

Can you hear me? You are not a helicopter!

Evil... I'm telling you... evil.

Umm... what are you gonna do with that sword?

I'm feeling really unsafe right now.

The image that spawned quite a few wallpapers.

I really don't like the fading to white this episode did a couple of times.

Rukia is free...

And is now a sack of potatoes! (Where exactly is his hand at? o_O)

Things are getting more emotional...

Another shot of our brave hero...

He saved her!

Where exactly is his hand?

Potatoes?

We are all totally gonna get in huge trouble for this...

Yama only opened one eye cause two would totally kill everyone there.

We're all totally screwed. So much trouble...

I can't believe I wasted money on this...

Where is his hand?

*GASP* I left my baked potato in the microwave!

Byakuya is still unimpressed, but his hair does look good with this wind.

Glare Off!

Think he destroyed enough of that?

We're totally gonna get in trouble for this...

This is totally your fault! Now I'm gonna go back to jail for property damage!

Oh noes! Someone killed one of those guys!

Wha? Someone got killed? Where?

Hey wait.. I know that guy.

Yay! It's Renji!

Umm... maybe you shouldn't be moving around...

I love how they wait till he's off screen to let him yell "Rukia!"

You're late.

Well... I sorta into a few million things.

Damn Ichigo... It's just Renji... you don't have to look like you're gonna cry.

Ummm... why I am I going higher in the air?

This is gonna end bad for somoene...

Hey... why are you holding Rukia up in the air like that?

Nope... not gonna end well.

Oh crap.

The throw!

How is this saving her?

Incoming!

Renji is wide open!

Impact!

And they landed... over there.

Verbal abuse!

Times two!

Best Renji/Rukia cap ever.

Hey I can throw pretty good.

Or not...

So.. take her and get out of here.

The door is wide open Renji! You may not have made it there in time, but you still have a chance!

And they're off!

Run! Run! Run!

Ichigo watches them run away together. That's still good cape movement.

Big Brother is watching.

Glare Off Redux!

You just can't beat Byakuya in a Glare Off.

Hey... Why does Abarai get to run off with a chick?

Don't just stand you stupid sack of rocks! Go after them or I'll kill you!

You better go too.

Me too?

*nods*

I told you we need more Isane...

Renji is running like he told Byakuya he got Rukia pregnant.

Ichigo says you can't follow...

Hey you! Get out of my way! My Captain is gonna kill me if I mess this up.

Ichigo doesn't look too worried about facing down three vice captains.

You take this ground! *stabs*

Isane again!

More action shots.

Isane and Itegumo

Why Kubo? Why can't you just give this poor guy a name already? Is he that important that you can't reveal his name? You could just leave off the surname and give us a first name.

This guy and Gonryoumaru

Oomaeda and Gegetsuburi

Wow... that lasted a long time.

So... did Zangetsu like hypnotize Ichigo so that like every time someone rings a bell he goes into total badass mode.

K.O. (I've been playing too much Street Fighter.)
