I liked it HeartfulStitch said: Hm the Bounts Arc was alright. MyBlueDragon said: i actually liked that arc. Jokergotscars said: It is an interesting filler, but gets boring after a while. This filler season is approxiamately 30 episodes long.
You are introduced to new characters called the Bounts. They are interesting, and as are their powers, but after a while they become boring.
There, they continue the fight in which Ichigo is finally able to defeat the Bount leader, Kariya. There are a few references to Kariya in future episodes, like when Ichigo had to overcome "Hichigo", his inner hollow, but other than that, all the other Bounts die and are not mentioned again.
Good filler but might be a waste of time. In the midst of the flying rubble, Ichigo and Kariya reappear and continue clashing, destroying the pieces they land on in the process, and when Ichigo moves back to the ground below, Kariya comes down on him from above with his Lightning Blade , forcing Ichigo to block with his sword held above his head as the force of the blow pushes him into the ground.
Glaring at an unnerved Ichigo, Kariya leaps forward and slashes with his Lightning Blade. Having broken the upturned chunk of ground beneath Ichigo with this, Kariya attacks him once more prior to unleashing a powerful surge of lightning that envelops Ichigo and rips through the ground behind him. Upon seeing this, Yoruichi is left confused at Kariya's attacks not weakening and seemingly getting stronger despite his inability to absorb any more Reishi, only to deduce what is happening with astonishment as Ichigo, having diverted the lightning onto either side of himself, stands at the other end of a deep ravine left by a smirking Kariya's attack and pants heavily prior to Yoruichi encouraging him to keep fighting because Kariya no longer has any Reiryoku left.
Despite Ichigo reiterating that he is going to defeat him, Kariya wonders what Ichigo can do when he is panting like this and moves behind him to hit Ichigo with a wind-infused kick that send him smashing into another upturned chunk of the ground on the other side of the pit.
As she observes that Ichigo moves forward with this burden and inquires if they could all do the same, Rukia points out that the Bount are also people who are not people that suffered in two worlds and concludes that Kariya can only be stopped by Ichigo due to them sharing the same burden. With Rukia declaring that the only thing they can do is trust Ichigo and watch, she assures a despondent Orihime that Ichigo will win, which Orihime affirms.
When Ichigo proclaims that he is going to hit Kariya with all that is left of his power, Kariya decides to respond in kind and exerts his red Reiatsu in a pillar as well before the two of them leap forward and cross blades. However, Ichigo counters that Kariya has never done anything for the Bount and treated his comrades like pawns prior to refusing to lose to someone like Kariya, who asserts in turn that Ichigo does not know anything and that people hate those who are superior to themselves, meaning that Ichigo will find the friends he trusted coming to fear his power and eventually distancing themselves from him.
In response to Kariya questioning what the purpose of protecting his friends is, Ichigo denies there being a purpose or meaning and declares he protects his friends simply because he wants to protect them to the point of risking his soul, to Kariya's disbelief. Leaning into the blade lock alongside Ichigo, Kariya proclaims nothing matters anymore and he is going to end this now prior to pushing Ichigo several meters back with a swing of his Lightning Blade.
With Kariya's crest glowing brightly, Ichigo rushes toward him and yells Kariya's name as the two of them clash for the final time, resulting in an explosion of power that rips through the ground surrounding the pit and surges into the sky in a pillar of light that disperses the clouds above before dissipating. In the aftermath, Ichigo and Kariya stand across from each other facing opposite directions with their blades outstretched, and as Ichigo falls to his knees, Kariya relaxes his stance and smiles up at the sky.
Turning around to face Ichigo, Kariya states that it is over and expresses disappointment at not being able to see if Ichigo will walk down the same path he did.
Before Kariya can tell Ichigo something, he suddenly turns to ashes that float away on the wind around Ichigo, who calls him an idiot and begins to fall forward, only for Sado to catch and steady him at the last second.
As Yoruichi sees Byakuya has departed and leaves with a smile, Orihime insists she needs to heal Ichigo's wounds, but Ichigo tells her she can do this later and gets to his feet, where he walks a few feet away and stares somberly into the distance. Ichigo reveals that Kariya disappeared on his own in the end, and when an astonished Rukia questions if Kariya was planning this from the very beginning, Ichigo admits that he does not know, only to conclude that Kariya probably wanted to bring his endless life to an end.
Ganju Shiba learns that Taichi chose the same hiding spot. In a building in the Rukongai , Daiji Hirasago sits with two young women in front of a sake set and is startled when Ganju Shiba frantically runs into the room.

Before Ririn can take the children to safety at Rukia's behest, Yoshi attacks through the wall behind Rukia and takes the young girl hostage, threatening to crush her skull if Rukia does not drop her weapon.
With Rukia acquiescing, Yoshi ferociously and sadistically slashes and stabs her with Nieder several times, but before she can deliver the finishing blow, Byakuya arrives and incapacitates Yoshi with his Shikai, Senbonzakura , as he catches an unconscious Rukia, with Ichigo and Orihime reaching them seconds later. Byakuya brings Rukia to the Kuchiki Manor to be healed. With Yamamoto and the other captains interpreting this destruction as a declaration of war, Byakuya has Rukia brought to the Kuchiki Manor to be healed by the Fourth Division and assures Ichigo that her life is not in danger even though her deep wounds will require extensive rest and recovery, only to refuse to assist Ichigo in his fight against the Bount, which Ichigo attributes to Byakuya still considering him an enemy for his actions during the Ryoka Invasion as he leaves with Orihime.
Meanwhile, in the Kusajishi district of the Rukongai, Mitsuru Ishino and Taichi Miyamoto are startled when Kariya enters the gambling hall they are relaxing in. Intrigued by the game of cards being played at one of the tables, Kariya joins by betting his own life and wins, causing a fight to break out when his opponent refuses to accept he won fairly and Kariya starts a brawl Koga and Ichinose join in an attempt to protect the villagers from him.
Noticing Ichinose's distracted demeanor that has been present since they came here, Kariya admits he is also in a different mood than normal due to how much fun he has been having and leaves to meet someone approaching them. Elsewhere, Ganju gets Ichigo's friends lost on their way to Kusajishi, only to come across three men who discuss their encounter with Kariya and decide to interrogate them.
With night falling, Kariya confronts Byakuya in the western Fugai forest and grins at the prospect of fighting him. However, Kariya easily protects himself with a Wind Barrier and counters with his power over wind and air, eventually leaving the two of them at an impasse of having their respective weapons at each other's throats.
Back in the forest, Kariya absorbs Reishi to heal the wounds inflicted by Byakuya and eagerly begins fighting Ichigo, who matches him once more using Tensa Zangetsu and fights at such high speeds that Ririn loses track of him, but Byakuya activates his own Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi , and breaks up the clash with an explosive attack while promising to treat Ichigo like an enemy if he remains involved.
Ran'Tao reveals herself to Kariya and the other combatants. As he continues to battle Kariya across the forest alongside Byakuya without directly assisting the latter, Ichigo finds Kariya outmaneuvering him despite his speed and is left shocked when Kariya attributes this to his superior combat experience. When Kariya is wounded by Senbonzakura Kageyoshi despite proclaiming that his Wind Barrier is impenetrable, Byakuya proceeds to barrage Kariya with an onslaught of attacks in order to test his supposed immortality, wounding him considerably in the process.
Suddenly, the conflict is interrupted when Ran'Tao appears between the combatants in a huge pillar of energy that separates them by several meters. While Ganju finds Daiji and his gang, Ran'Tao heals Ichigo's injuries and begins recounting the history of the Bount following their accidental creation, including the battle between the Bount and the Quincy. Upon being demanded to explain what she was doing for so many centuries if she knew about the suffering of the Bount, Ran'Tao reveals she was exiled and had her Shinigami powers sealed away as punishment for proposing Soul Society publicize everything and accept the Bount instead of oppressing them.
Back in Kusajishi, Kariya returns with Koga and finds hundreds of villagers waiting for him. Ganju enlists the Kusajishi Bull's Gang in searching for the Bount. As morning breaks, Hitsugaya learns of the residents of Kusajishi cutting down trees in the surrounding forest and decides to investigate this with Rangiku and Renji while Daiji informs Ganju of the large numbers of thugs being gathered in Kusajishi and agrees to round up his own fighters after Ganju explains that he is trying to help Ichigo combat the Bount as a favor.
That evening, Kenpachi decides to move out and confront Ichinose after learning of Hitsugaya locating him in the forest. Following Kariya permitting him to stay behind in the worker camp while the plan is put into motion, Ichinose confronts and clashes with Hitsugaya when the latter reaches the clearing, and as Ichinose declares Ichigo's group is too late, the residents of Kusajishi roll their siege engines to the Seireiheki gates.
Kenpachi Zaraki confronts Ichinose. Ichinose refuses to let any of Ichigo and his friends leave to stop Kariya and traps them all in a Brilliant Void while he attempts to pick them off one at a time.
Suddenly, Kenpachi intercepts Ichinose's attack against Sado and disperses the illusion with his Reiatsu, shocking those present. Ichinose traps Kenpachi in Saigyoku Nijigasumi. As he begins attacking Kenpachi, Ichinose is startled by the former withstanding and overcoming his invisibility, Blade of Light , and Blinding Light , with Kenpachi remaining unimpressed by how he has not grown much stronger since his departure from Soul Society.
In response, Ichinose initiates Saigyoku Nijigasumi , boosting his Reiatsu to the point where he can clash evenly with and wound Kenpachi, whom he criticizes for remaining arrogant and being emblematic of the Gotei 13's corruption before trapping him in a massive dome of hard light that begins condensing around him while Ichinose assumes that he will soon be dead and prepares to leave.
Despite being unable to damage the dome with his strikes, a grinning Kenpachi simply removes his eyepatch and unleashes the full power of his Reiatsu, smashing through Saigyoku Nijigasumi and freeing himself. Confronting a shocked Ichinose, Kenpachi criticizes his vaguely-defined ideals, and when Ichinose furiously accuses him of being responsible for the Bount attacking Soul Society in the first place, Kenpachi slashes him across the chest and points out how Ichinose still cannot stand on his own.
When Ichinose decides to continue fighting Kenpachi regardless, the two of them clash in a surge of Reiatsu, with Kenpachi ultimately cutting down Ichinose.
Once inside and with the responding Shinigami incapacitated by his Doll , Messer , Kariya reveals that he has no further use for the thugs and tells them to leave before killing them as well when they try to swarm him in rage.
During this, Mabashi attacks a squad of Keigun and incapacitates several of them as he lures the rest elsewhere. Across the Seireitei, possessed Shinigami begin attacking Ichigo, Renji, Sado, and each other in a mad frenzy under the influence of Ritz , with Hisagi informing 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura of the situation and the difficulty in subduing Ritz without harming those she is possessing.
Recognizing the Nigeki Kessatsu technique, Mabashi decides to leave and watch her die from afar. With Sawatari detailing how the high Reishi concentration in the air of Soul Society allows Baura to do this, Mayuri regenerates his arm with a Hojiku-Zai and draws his ear kusarigama to continue the battle. Simultaneously, Yamamoto meets with Shunsui, Unohana, and Komamura to discuss recent events and order them to focus all efforts on tracking down Kariya now that he possesses such immense power.
In an alleyway, Kariya tells Koga about his newfound power and intention to obliterate the Seireitei with it, and when Koga protests this course of action, Kariya grievously injures him and leaves.
That night, Koga finishes healing the wound left by Kariya and moves out to track him down, only to encounter a squad of Tenth Division Shinigami and incapacitate them all with Dalk. The Tenth Division begins searching for Koga. Noticing the Shinigami searching for him in the streets, Koga decides to go underground and travels through the canal network with Dalk , whom he assures that he and Kariya did not get into a fight prior to asserting that they will not continue to hide and having Dalk begin attacking the Shinigami above.
With the coordination between the squads cut off, Koga begins incapacitating them without inflicting lethal injuries, which prompts Hitsugaya to confront him personally after realizing that this is what Koga has been aiming for. Following Dalk thanking him for being her master, Koga reveals she is not yet dead and reshapes her remains into a massive battle axe to face Hitsugaya personally as he empowers himself by absorbing Reishi.
When Koga refuses to give up, Hitsugaya defeats him with a single slash across the torso , and after admitting he would not have been able to change anything even if he had caught up to Kariya, Koga collapses among the crumbling ice pillars. An astonished Ran'Tao realizes that Kariya is Eugene Currier, the Bount she gave a special amulet to awaken his powers when he was a young boy during the massacre of his tribe at the hands of the Shinigami, and attempts to convince him that the modern Gotei 13 does not remember the days of the Bount enough to continue oppressing them.
However, Kariya refuses to even consider forgiving the Shinigami for the suffering he has endured and decides to kill Ran'Tao here and now for her role in it. Despite his desire to kill Ran'Tao, Kariya suddenly remembers his past as a Bount, where he inadvertently awakened his Bount powers during a Hollow attack and had his proposal to abandon Soul Society and the Shinigami rejected by his tribe, causing him to grow bitter and hateful toward the weaker Bount who perished over the years and formulate a plan to take revenge on the Seireitei with the Bount strong enough to stand by his side.
Upon being met by Hitsugaya and Rangiku, a startled Ran'Tao requests that they listen to her. Kariya overwhelms Ichigo with his Lightning Blade. Continuing to clash with Kariya, Ichigo deduces his fighting style revolves around exploiting openings left by his opponents' attacks and begins attacking Kariya too rapidly for him to do so, but Kariya simply uses Ichigo's technique of protecting his body with concentrated Reiatsu and decides to display the true form of Messer by using his Lightning Blade technique to incapacitate Ichigo with electricity.
Upon being asked by Ichigo why he intends to destroy everything, Kariya reveals his hatred of the Bount for letting the great power they were born with go to waste and of the Shinigami for exploiting his tribe, which has led him to desire to drag everything down with him.
As Ichigo immediately regains control of his body, Kariya attempts to heal himself with Reishi, only to discover an injury inflicted by Ran'Tao prior now prevents him from absorbing Reishi at all.
In the aftermath, Kariya is disappointed he will not see where Ichigo will go and dies as Ichigo admits Kariya let him win. The day after Kariya's defeat, Ichigo and Rukia reflect on recent events with their friends and recall the day before they met each other, with Rukia being assigned to the Human World for the first time and Ichigo feeling powerless to stop the sudden disappearances of Souls in Karakura Town.
As Koga learns he has been saved by Ran'Tao so he can share the story of the last Bount with her, Ichigo muses on Kariya's power consuming him in the end and discusses the latter's desire to break the vicious cycle of history through force with Ukitake.
Once his friends join him in front of the Senkaimon , Ichigo returns to the Human World alongside them. Bleach Wiki Explore. Bleach Media. Reverse London Magic. Edit the Wiki. Explore Wikis Community Central.
