Top 10 Best Bleach Episodes
Bleach is a 2004 anime based on a manga of the same name. It follows teenager Ichigo Kurosaki, who inherits the powers of a Soul Reaper and is tasked with defending humans from evil spirits.Ichigo's Bankai plus Byakuya's Bankai equals a win of epic proportions. Besides, we got to see Byakuya as a three-dimensional character and realized he's not just a guy hell-bent on killing his sister. Byakuya and Ichigo are two of the best characters in Bleach, so this episode was obviously amazing!
The most epic fight in the entire series and one that was just born to be!
One of the most epic fights in this show. Also, Byakuya is so awesome in this episode!
This episode is basically the climax of the entire series and the most well-plotted episode probably in the entire series. Aizen betraying was something most people probably did not see coming, and that is why this episode deserves to be number one!
This episode had many details to it and surprised a lot of people. Since no one saw Aizen betraying them coming, they weren't prepared for it at all.
This episode was truly surprising! Actually, everything was surprising about Aizen! But I like him because he's smart enough to risk being a captain for that betrayal.
The action is crazy and awesome. On top of that, we have a sweet, touching moment where the viewers actually may feel some form of compassion or sadness from the enemy dying. Making someone who put a hole in Ichigo's chest into someone that the viewers would be sad for in such a short period of time is not an easy task.
The actual high point of the series, the Espada arc holds up the best and makes you root for the main character the most. Much better than the seven-minute fight against Sosuke Aizen.
Shows how badass Kenpachi is. He actually breaks Zangetsu!
Haha, the graphics weren't as good as in the future episodes. But what was happening was pretty nice. (I thought the characters always looked angry.) Please don't blame me. It was nice seeing everyone battling Ichigo... Probably?
Loved the way Ichigo just made everyone look like fools in this episode. Saving Rukia was always his plan, and he managed to do that and look awesome doing so. I miss when Soul Society were the bad guys.
For first-timers watching Bleach, this was a great episode! It's full of epic moments and raises our judgment towards Ichigo. My personal favorite episode.
Such a shame that this episode is underrated. This honestly is one of my favorite episodes of Bleach as not only does it have one of the best Bleach fights of all time, but we see a lot of characterization in Ichigo. We see him fare better against Renji than before, showing how much he's grown. Not to mention, it has my favorite Ichigo quote of all time! - TheDarkOne_221b
This battle was personal for Uryu because Kurotsuchi, one of the most vile, inhuman psychos in the series, murdered and experimented on his people. Good thing Uryu wins.
Ichigo and Renji take on Aizen and lose, showing how powerful our main antagonist is.
Nice episode. We also see Ichigo going berserk for the first time. It was also a very sad episode. I cried when I saw this episode. This episode is pure epicness. That's the reason why I loved the first arc of Bleach...
The saddest and most intense episode in the first season. This episode is godly, considering how Ichigo is thrown to the ground and left to bleed even by Rukia!
Byakuya at the time makes Ichigo look like a dog that has just been abandoned by its owner.
Ichigo vs. Renji and Ichigo vs. Byakuya were two of the best fights in the series, and now both opponents are finally duking it out.
The Newcomers
Aizen didn't actually die. He was merely imprisoned and sentenced to 18,000 years in jail. However, due to his rather snide comments, his sentence was extended a few thousand years. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Aizen is immortal.
Simply because of the episode itself, based on the amazing conclusion and Urahara's mastermind.
Aizen lives! You see him alive at the end of the episode and later in the Quincy arc.
Gin and Matsumoto are my favorite characters (with Byakuya), so it was really awesome to see more of their story. This episode was so beautiful. I couldn't help a few tears.
Yeah, Gin was totally awesome. I hate the fact that he died. Who knows if he died for Rangiku or to retrieve the Hogyoku? It's driving me crazy deciding which one of those was his true intention.
You saw in another episode that Aizen had someone take Matsumoto's spirit or whatever. I believe that Gin was trying to get her spirit thing back from the Hogyoku and give it to her.
It actually would have been the perfect end for the series. I personally liked it more than the actual end. The episode leaves you sad. You actually feel the feelings that Ichigo feels. You actually feel as if your chest goes hollow, like there's something missing.
So beautiful... I wish there could be more episodes like this, with Ichigo, Rukia, and the others just hanging out and having fun.
I cried. Like really badly. My mom had to go buy me ice cream, and it was strawberry flavored, and I cried again.
Let's be honest, the first 15 episodes were just boring. Then Renji and Byakuya arrive, and everything changes. P.S. Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra and Nnoitra vs. Kenpachi are the best fights!
Let's be honest, you haven't seen the Ulquiorra fight against Ichigo, have you?
The reveal that they'd stabbed Hinamori, the buildup to it, and Aizen slaying everyone afterward was so good. My favorite episode.
I almost cried when Hinamori said "Shiro-chan, why?" If I could, I would have smashed Aizen's face. (Laugh out loud).
I thought that episode 366 was a fantastic episode, not just because you get to see Ichigo's new Bankai, but the way that the last few moments of the episode came to a close. I loved it, and it made me sad to see it end.
Actually, I did research, and this episode is canon, a side project in one of the manga. Sorry, but it is canon.
The best filler episode in Bleach!
