[bleach me!]

[queendork56]

Bleach caps. This time it's episode 59 "Conclusion of the Death Match! White pride and black desire"

You know the drill by now... thumbed caps behind the cut. Feel free to use for whatever. I didn't use all the ones I took this time, but the ZIP is there.

Spoilers yo.


We start the episode off with running! Heart attacks for everyone!

They ran all that way just to stop and stare.

The powers that be in Soul Society never should have turned down the proposal to start a landscaping club. (Aramaki decides to take that heart attack now.)

The dead trees make 'Hime sad!! :(

Yachiru thinks that's weird.

Hey guys look! I climbed up this tree all by myself!

Great. She'll never come down and the captain will kill me.

Ganjyu, Ishida, and Chad try to lure Yachiru out of the tree...

...by getting serious. (Or "This is just a reason for me to post yet another Ishida cap...)

Chad needs cap love too.

Everyone's ears look off to me in this episode for some odd reason...

What was everyone doing again? Oh right... serious.

Even Yachiru is looking serious.

You guys are weird. WEIRD!!!

How rude. We're not weird. We're normalcy challenged.

More random Ishida screencaps for everyone!

Poor Orihime... so many people write her off because she's ditzy, but she's actually a lot smarter than she looks.

Meanwhile back on the hill...

Whoops! I got blood on your sword!

Byakuya is still pissed.

Now... I am not a medical doctor, but I'm pretty sure your blood shouldn't be glowing like that. At all.

I'm also pretty sure it shouldn't be all fiery like that.

Look what you did... you started the pink fire of doom.

Mommy! I'm scared!

Byakuya surrounded everyone in glowing pink swords... this isn't gonna end well.

I am so glad I'm not you.

Ummm.... you're hand's on fire.

Byakuya is armed and ready.

It's time for the showdown!

Pink vs. Blue

Captain vs. Ryoka

Byakuya vs. Ichigo

They both go in for the kill...

Who will win?

You didn't think you were gonna find out so soon did ya?

Ichigo and Byakuya were nice enough to help Yachiru out of the tree.

The hard way...

Whew. Saved the landing.

Poor Ganjyu... so abused.

One of my favorite scenes... It proves that Ishida is smart too.

Orihime chooses to support Ichigo from afar.

I feel sorta bad for Ishida. He needs love too!

I love this cap.

She wants to help, but would only hinder.... so she waits...

I still find it weird that Ichigo had problems with blood in his eyes during his fight Ikkaku and yet...

Ishida won't invite you to his birthday party if you lose.

Back on the hill... Ichigo and Byakuya are dancing.

I can see you...

They fight here...

They fight there...

They fight everywhere... they should really just sit down and talk about this...

Or not...

Oh noes! Ichigo! There's a bee on your face! Let me knock that off for you! *stabs*

Oh! Byakuya is over here!

No wait! Now he's over there!

Dodge, Ichigo! Dodge!

You're getting slower.

You're getting uglier.

*twitch*

*stabs*

Never say that word again.

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut.

Inappropriate touching! Inappropriate touching!

That has to hurt.

Um... Ichigo... I don't think you should be smoking like that...

And I'm pretty sure everything shouldn't be all red like that.

Ichigo's coat is special. There's no wind yet it has lift.

Byakuya's coat is special too.

Ichigo has reached his breaking point.

Byakuya clearly fails to care.

Alas, poor Ichigo... we knew him well.

And everything slowly starts to fade to black.

OMGWTFPWNED!!!

Something is starting to form...

Anti-Ichigo is here and he wants to play.

And thoroughly freak everyone out.

Anti-Ichigo rips into Byakuya.

Ouchies.

He's like a pretty ballerina. A pretty crazy ballerina.

I loved the animation for Anti-Ichigo in this scene.

Yep... thoroughly freaking people out...

Just look at Byakuya. He has no idea what's going on...

Anti-Ichi! Anti-Ichi! What sharp, pointy teeth you have!

Byakuya ain't freaked out by you no mo'e.

Byakuya grabs another sword from his glowing, pink collection.

Mommy! I'm even more scared than I was before!

He's loving it.

Take some of this!

Oh crap.

Anti-Ichigo comes in for another attack.

A nice close-up of the mask's new stripe.

Anti-Ichigo decides to look at the world from a different perspective.

You knew it was coming: SURPRISE BUTTSECKS!!!

I wonder what the random Shinigami who got stuck back at Division headquarters thinks about the light show on the hill.

Byakuya, Byakuya... let down your long hair.

Anti-Ichigo's mask continues to form.

That big, ole grin really is freaky.

It's gotta suck when your body moves on your own.

Byakuya is starting to feel a bit freaked out again.

Ichigo wants you to go away now.

Anti-Ichigo throws a tantrum.

Random question: If Ichigo has Zangetsu's coat when he goes ban kai... what is Zangetsu wearing in Ichigo's soul world? Is he just sitting around naked? Is that why Ichigo wanted to come back so soon?

Ichigo broke it.

Ewwwww........ it's like mold on your face....

Whoa. Did we take like and extra commercial break or something? Hey... why are you all bloody?

Curling iron mishap.

Really? That's kinda weird. How can a curling iron cut you?

But anyway... let's finish this fight.

Byakuya is so smexy like this... What's with the 6th Division guys looking all good when they're beaten, bloody, and got their hair down?

Time for one last face-off.

Byakuya powers up.

And power up he does...

So pretty.....

I love how the main character hero can always be "wow!" or "cool!" or "amazing!" with their enemies when they pull out something they want to kill them with.

One last showdown!

Black vs. White

They clash!

Who won?

Byakuya is still standing...

Ichigo is still standing...

Someone did win right?

Oh will one of you just give up already!

Ichigo's bleeding.

Poor Ichigo.

He stabbed his shadow.

Awww.... poor Ichigo.

Oh wait! Byakuya's bleeding too!

Byakuya stumbles away.

And gives us the lowdown on what happened during the clash.

Ichigo rips right through it.

Which means that Ichigo wins. (Byakuya's hair looks really long here.)

Wait... I won?

I love how he sorta hobbles around.

Despite the fact that there isn't any wind... his hair still looks like that.

Your hair is really weird man. What kind of shampoo do you use?

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Byakuya tells his reasons for not saving Rukia. (We all know it was because she wouldn't stop using his shampoo.)

Ichigo goes through a few emotions...

Ichigo doesn't understand.

You won. Yay for you. You get the girl (if you can catch up with Renji). Now if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna wash the blood out of my hair.

Bye, bye Byakuya.

Hey wait.... I won didn't I?

My one question: What happened to the buffiness?

Victory scream!

Whoa... hey... feeling kinda woozy.

Falling over...

Don't worry! Orihime will catch you!

Hey... we only said "catch" we never said anything "not giving you a concussion."

Everyone made it to the hill in one piece.

Which perks Ichigo up a little.

Everyone's okay. Did you all have fun? We should totally come again next summer.

*kidnaps Ishida and his superior dork hottness*

Of course we're fine. We're all smarter than you.

Do you want me to tell you about our adventure?

First there was this big guy that tired to attack me, but Ishida was all cool and saved me.

And then there was this scary clown who tried to kill us, but Ishida told this guy to take me and run away.

And he took me to Kenpachi. (His hair is pretty!)

And then there were all these stairs! I thought we were all gonna die of heart attacks, but the magic of TV saved us!

And you thought your trip was weird...

Orihime confesses to her worry over Ichigo.

Now I know Ichigo is a bit dense, but if he doesn't get Orihime's feelings by now...

Orihime apologizes. (Although shouldn't we have started the healing process by now... I mean Ichigo is bleeding all over the place.)

Ichigo thanks her.

Meanwhile... the great boy genius is still trying to figure out how to get inside.

None of my passwords worked. Not even "fee-fi-fo-fum." There's only one thing left to do...

Break in.

Breaking and entering? That's your Plan B? What happens if we get caught?

My undeniable small boy cuteness will get me out of it. You're on your own.

OMG!

WTF?

Double BBQ!

What in the world could they be looking at? Find out next time... same Bleach time, same Bleach station!


This week (I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this last week) the ending changed a bit. Now we've got Byakuya looking all beat up...

Renji looking all smexy...

*is dead from the cuteness*

Shunsui and Ukitake standing around...

Yamamoto setting stuff on fire.

Hitsugaya is all "Whatever losers... I'm outta here."

Shuuhei is trying to remember if he left his curling iron on...

And Soi Fong is wondering how in the hell she missed the clues about Komamura.


Next time! Matsumoto fights!

And Gin returns! But it won't be until 12/6.


Now onto to Radio Kon! Karin's friends are clearly fighting about who has the best hair.

KonIchigo thinks they all lose. (KonIchigo has the best facial expressions.)

The challengers have arrived!

AHHH! It's those weird kids from the Urahara Shop! (And three random kids who don't matter.)

We're totally gonna kick your asses!

We are? (Best faces!)

Now, now.... it's not really about who wins or loses right?

Huh? Wazzat?

Hey wait.... isn't that? It's can't be...

My body?!

that screencap of skewed!hollow!ichigo is quite possibly, the freakiest ever.

Ooh, is it still life by Yui? just a new animation? (SQUEE! THATS A SHUUHEI I SPOT THERE!)

[hajima.livejournal.com]

You have inspired me to finish my subtitles for episode 52-53 of Bleach. Right before Byakuya releases his bankai when fighting Renji, he tells him what kind of shampoo he uses. AND IT'S NOT HERBAL ESSENCES..!! But I'll save what it is for the people that want to watch what I did to that episode.

[imparfait.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Byakuya supposed to be like, on his deathbed when he tells Ichigo the secret? Not deathbed, like.. lying down half-dead. I luuurve Byakuya.

[electra-torch.livejournal.com]

He only told Ichigo why he wouldn't save Rukia. Upholding codes and whatnot. He didn't mention the family secret.

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

Byakuya can never die. He's kept alive by the power of Pantene Pro-V. And that's a mighty strong power.

[sxylilwitch.livejournal.com]

Awwww my favorite Ishi x Hime x Ichi moment XD

Well...besides her getting nekkid in front of Ishida lol

[azel-orta.livejournal.com]

"I love how the main character hero can always be "wow!" or "cool!" or "amazing!" with their enemies when they pull out something they want to kill them with."

Exactly what I was thinking seeing this. lol

[durkle.livejournal.com]

if I was Byakuya I would have walked away very slowly while Ichigo was arguing with himself. >_>

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm sorry, but Byakuya has the gayest zanpaku in all of Soul Society. Far gayer than Yumichika's. I don't think Byakuya's could be any gayer if he tapdanced in a leotard while releasing it. Although it'd definately be funnier (and possibly sexier, although it's hard to imagine Byakuya any sexier than he is already).

And may I be permitted a 30 second rant? If the stupid anime PTB hadn't written out Orihime's crush on Ichigo from the beginning of the series it'd make so much more sense now and even Ichigo would understand why Orihime was giving him a concussion. Damn them and their writing out her crush in an effort to pair off characters like it was Noah's Ark.

Was that my 30 seconds? Damn.

There needs to be more Ishida screencaps. Those are the only things that keep me sane.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

I'm a rabid IshiHime shipper and I'm still furious about the anime writing out Hime's crush on Ichigo! >.< If the DB is right, that scene is just ruined. There's a pronoun change in Ishida's mind: "We" not "She is praying for your safety." There's no emphasis on the crush at all, which only takes out the drama and grandeur of Ishida's selflessness when he says of his rival "Win Kurosaki or I will never forgive you!"

GAH! I know some anime-only people who are "hey, does Orihime like Ichigo or something?"

Anyway, wonderful screencaps and captions as always. I live for the shampoo storyline. I've come to think of it... as canon somehow....

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

They changed "she" to "we"? But that ruins everything!

You know how much I love Ishida, even if I'm not a big IshiHime fan (I'm still in denial about their existance), but the one scene where even I will admit there was some IshiHime undertones and they took it out? What is wrong with them?!

First they take out Orihime's crush on Ichigo. Then they add IshiHime angst where there was none (I always felt the manga scene on the roof was pureply platonic), and after all that they take the one scene that was a bit IshiHime and they edit it out? What kind if game are they playing here?!

*needs to switch to decaf* (Sorry if that was a bit ranty; again, you know how protective I am of my Ishi character. XD)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

I'm so baffled by the anime at this point I don't know what to think. I used to love it for being so faithful to the manga but... it seems to pick on Ishida for some unknown reason. *weeps*

[electra-torch.livejournal.com]

The manga picks on him too. Esp. here lately. :(

I never really had faith for the anime to stay with completely faithful to the manga. Episode pretty much crushed that dream when it needlessly cut out Isshin scenes. :|

[turtlemonkey.livejournal.com]

The manga picks on him too. Esp. here lately. :(


I still think hell come back.. Still questioning if he should really hate the shinigami, after all in some bizarre way Ichigo is his friend... But then he'll se Ichigo and Orihime together, interpret the scene completely wrong and go all out revenge mode.



........But I also need to switch to Decaf.

[vashti.livejournal.com]

I haven't read the manga before about issue 160 yet, but I do feel a deep need for Ishida to finish Mayuri.

[electra-torch.livejournal.com]

He'll come back, but from the looks of things he probably won't come back till all this fighting is done which from the looks of things never will be. Unless they pull a Yama/Shunsui/Ukitake and just don't show you nothing or unless he comes back in Super Quincy Mode and just blows everyone away. He'll end up being all conflicted and stuff...

And I just realized my last comment should have said "episode one" not "episode pretty much."

[turtlemonkey.livejournal.com]

Ofcourse hell come back; He considers Ichigo his personal antagonist. Theres this whole rivalry thing going on with him. Hes like the Vegeta of DBleachZ

And gawd almighty on a cross, enough fighting already x.X Hello? Plot? Though..[Spoiler]

With the events of the most recent chapters, Im hopeing that Ichigo will now go all hollow Ichigo once more. If this plays out the way Im praying? He wont be able to regain control so easily.

[/spoiler]

And eh, Episode pretty much works just as well IMHO. Next week.. Episode 'Might as well!' The conclusion to be seen on the episode after that, 'Oh what the hell.'

[ate-nika.livejournal.com]

Random question: If Ichigo has Zangetsu's coat when he goes ban kai... what is Zangetsu wearing in Ichigo's soul world? Is he just sitting around naked? Is that why Ichigo wanted to come back so soon?

darn, now you get me all thinking what zangetsu looks like during bankai ichigo event... xDDD thanks very much for the caps! :)

[domlandbubbles.livejournal.com]

Zangetsu's lying on the upside down couch in his happy-face boxers, drinking a beer and watching celebrity poker.

He's got barettes to keep his hair in place.

[abyschan.livejournal.com]

YES.

I am so drawing that.

[shut-eyes.livejournal.com]

i thought it was weird how Byakuya was white energy and Ichigo was black energy. shouldn't it be reversed? gah.

[furato.livejournal.com]

Why weird? Byaku in Byakuya means white, Kuro in Kurosaki means black. It can't get more obvious.

[shut-eyes.livejournal.com]

ah, didn't know that. but i meant in the sense that ichigo was trying to do a noble thing by saving rukia (good = white) and byakuya was stopping him and wanted her dead ([in a sense] bad = black)

[furato.livejournal.com]

I like it more this way... overthrowing the black/white-bad/good stereotype. Like Batman :D

[greblin.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think it's really a case of good vs. bad. It's more of a case of law vs. emotions. Byakuya isn't really a bad person as such, he just wants to uphold the law. In the same way, Ichigo isn't really the good guy here, he merely wants to save Rukia.

Plus there is more to black and white then good and bad. White represents purity and nobility, for example.

[turtlemonkey.livejournal.com]

God, your commentaries through these never fail to amuse XD

[mellfromva.livejournal.com]

Haha, I love your icon! Beautiful.

[turtlemonkey.livejournal.com]

Your pwns itself XD!

I made this icon a couple of days ago, so if you want it you can have it. Me and my cheesy sense of humor, man...

[vashti.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to say, except ... icon love.

It has driven the llamas from my head.

[robinyuy.livejournal.com]

omg omg *is still LMAO*

i love the caps there awesome
can't wait for the next one <333

[underthemoon.livejournal.com]

Chants repeatedly: 'Byakuya without his kenseikan, Byakuya without his kenseikan...!' *__*

*dies a blissful death* XDDD

As always, thanks for the caps. :)

[glampop.livejournal.com]

Hooray for more suprise buttsecks! ^__^♥

[kagariyuraashua.livejournal.com]

[fantasy2004.livejournal.com]

dl thanks

[techno-ninja.livejournal.com]

These make me laugh. So hard. I think I look more forward to these than the actual episode. XD

[http://users.livejournal.com/dakara_/]

What's with the 6th Division guys looking all good when their beaten, bloody, and got their hair down?
And I thought I was the only one who thought that way >DDD

[miyu.livejournal.com]

haha i agree XDDDD

[shaeisdorky.livejournal.com]

XDD i love the caps!! awesome job [saving to memories :D]

[hidden-gems.livejournal.com]

[abyschan.livejournal.com]

I will further note that his eye-liner stands out really well in this screenshot.

[megaloo13.livejournal.com]

XD Excellent recap once again. I agree that the Anti!Ichigo animation was done wonderfully.
