Summary
The chapter begins by showing Nnoitra killing a fellow Hollow.
Nnoitra went on and explain that he wants his life to be defined by that awesome sensation of gasping for his final breath in every battle, and the only way he could achieve that is to become stronger. Nel said that she could not understand his demented thoughts.
After the flashbacks ended, Nnoitra was shown lying on the ground. Kenpachi then tore off his robes and kicked Ichigo hard. He told him to grab his sword and Orihime and get out of there. Kenpachi then asked Orihime to heal his wounds.
Orihime was about to reach Kenpachi when Stark suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of her. Kenpachi and Ichigo immediately rushed over to them and each delivered a heavy blow at the spot where Stark was standing. However, he vanished in an instance before they could get him.
Orihime was brought back to Aizen. He told her that they would return shortly after they finish their job with Karakura Town.
End

Nnoitra. Dead.

Hilarious! Kenpachi seems to enjoy kicking Ichigo…

Kenpachi and Ichigo in action!!!

POWER!!!

Personal Opinions
Great!!! STARK!!! Finally, one of the top 3 Espadas is in action, although it’s only for a very short amount of time. No doubt, he’s definitely one of my favourite Espadas alongside Ulquiorra (His awesome COOLNESS!) and Halibel (Her awesome BODY!). Stark is definitely the sanest and most reasonable Espada, which is exactly why I like him. Coupled with insanely strong abilities stronger than even Ulquiorra’s make him an even more attractive character. How I wish he’s the 1st Espada… Damn, I hope Kubo Tite would release the identities of the top 3 Espadas soon.
Judging from this chapter, it seems that Stark is able to teleport from one place to another. That’s definitely not an ability to be trifled with! I hope he gets matched up with the 8th and 13th Squad Captains, Kyouraku Shunsui and Ukitate Jyuushirou. All three of them are sane people and I definitely want to see more of the two captains in a fight together! A fight between an Espada and two captains would definitely be awesome!
And again, I’m pretty sad that Kenpachi’s fight ended this way. But oh well, I just hope he would have another fight with another Espada (preferably Ulquiorra) real soon. Can’t get enough of him!
Also, what is Aizen going to do in Karakura Town? Let’s wait for the next chapter!
I need to start reading the manga, what chapter is where we are in the anime currently.
I totally agree with ya. xD I love Stark, Ukitake and Kyouraku just as much as the next guy – I do hope somehow the three get involved in the plot somehow. As much as I’d like Stark to be number 1, I can see the old grumpy looking man (Barragan was it?) to fit the role a little better. Oh well, first the worst second the best. xD
I really hope Stark is the first Espada, and hope that at story’s end he and Lilinette survive whatever the outcome is(just too awesome to kill off). I hope they Show alot of Stark and Halibel though.
Stark rules. He should kill Ichigo and start his own series where he’s up against the vasto lorde where he’ll discover his inner shinigami, then he releases his bankai to fight Yama G.
plz i wanna start reading bleach coz i cant wait to b watching 1 chapter a week
kindly giv m 3 site dt i can read it frm.
thanks
stark is the 1st espada haibilel is 3rd n da old guy is 2rd. stark is fighting captain kyuorka now but they both r so lazy they dont want 2 fight eachother they just want to talk. starks number is on his hand
Ahoy!!!!! Do you really think that Captain Kyuorka is strong enough to beat Stark? I mean it seems to fit in that Ukitake and Kyuorka, the most oldest of the captains fight Stark. After all they have vast experience under Captain Yamamoto. This is exciting.
And OMG! I really want to know already if Stark and the other two top Espadas are Vasto Lordes? Why hasn’t Tite Kubo revealed who the Vasto Lordes are? I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. And I know that Ichigo is strong.
im not sure if it has been ultimatly confirmed, but everything that ive read says hes the primera espada.
stark is number 1, and he ends up fightin the 8th captain. ukitake doesnt want to fight starks fraccion tho. and ichigo is goin thru some kind of resureccion type thing. new mask and markings, and he’s beatin ulqiorra
stark is number 1 espada bet he doesnt act it seeing as he took an order from the number two espada and hes is currently fighting kyouraku and the fight isnt even turnig like hitsugays and hailebel and soifon and the espada number 2
this is the guy from the message before stark is fighting shisiu not kyouraku
