Discrepancy on episode titles.[edit]

There is a discrepancy on the titles with respect to their episodes on this article and this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bleach_episodes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.38.122 (talk) 06:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. AnmaFinotera (talk) 06:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When episodes occur[edit]

Do we have a sense yet of when these episodes actually occur in the continuity of the series? Or is this a plot point in itself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.197.62 (talk) 00:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This arc appears to be non-canon. JesseMeza (talk) 00:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By whose opinion? Do you have a reliable source saying its "non-canon"?AnmaFinotera (talk) 01:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction to this arc admits to its complete nonsensical nature right off the bat, which is why it's worded as such in the intro. No need to say non-canon. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 01:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that this arc totally killed the storyline. I got no idea how these guys will fix the story now. Jaewonnie (talk) 23:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It appears this is either some sort of alternate reality thing(like in seasons of Higurashi), or it takes place after the Hueco Mundo arc, possibly with Tite Kubo hinting possible spoilers for the ending of it, like Ichigo being full power without the hollow mask —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.239.90 (talk) 23:48, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the first sentence in this paragraph explaining everything clearly: this arc departs from the main storyline of both the manga and the show! This storyline DOES NOT EXIST within the main storyline. When it's over, Ichigo will be back in Hueco Mundo, and we will pick up where they left off. They even poke fun at this during the omake following the last HM episode! Of course, there's no real proof from the writers anyway, so this is all we have so far to go by. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.159.15 (talk) 04:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about the possibility that it takes place after Grimjaw appears but before the Hueco Mundo arc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.208.251 (talk) 18:13, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Entirely possible, in the sense that nothing contradicts that. The end of the arc restores status quo. -moritheil^Talk 11:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect. Chad uses brazo derecho del gigante as well as izquierda; these two moves do not develop until well within the Hueco Mundo Arc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.43.32 (talk) 07:33, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

its just non-canonical, thats all there is to it. leave the decisions for where it fits into the bleach canon (if it does at all) to the people at the bleach wiki 69.108.93.89 (talk) 05:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ending themes[edit]

Can someone please put proof that the second ending theme is called "gallop" because I just watched episode 179 and the ending theme was still "orange" 212.219.117.82 (talk) 15:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is the theme now, but what source said that weeks before it changed? Internet site address? Allthezeros (talk) 11:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)allthezeros[reply]

"Second" Opening[edit]

After episode 178, the opening theme, Chu-Bura is still played but with more details about the season, kind of like the 4th opening theme of Naruto, GO!!!.

in the detailed opening Izuru and Kifune, while Izuru are drawing his sword, and the new captain and Ichigo are having a fight too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.135.176 (talk) 20:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you see in the detailed opening that Kifune throws his released form at shosuke, who knocks it out of the way with his supposed released form, some kind of energy-based sword, Ichigo appears behind him, back to back, activates his vizard mode, and proceeds to fight with Hanza. I noticed that Hanza was '"already"' defeated before the edited opening released, but that wa just a detail in the story, and doesn't matter. I'm just elaborating on the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.104.160.38 (talk) 05:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

question[edit]

is this story arc set in an alternate universe because there is no way they could just leave Hueco Mundo just like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.217.127.236 (talk) 19:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This arc is non-canonical. 68.43.41.106 (talk) 17:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kibune, not Kifune[edit]

Please see this discussion. (Skunkboy74 (talk) 04:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Rurichiyo, not Lurichiyo![edit]

Please see this discussion! --Skunkboy74 (talk) 21:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Season 10?[edit]

Do we have any information on the next arc?--75.104.160.39 (talk) 02:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

english airdates[edit]

I already posted this on the talk page for the main list of bleach episodes, and I'll post it here to, since it's relevant to this article as well:

What is the source for season 9's english airdates? The current Adult Swim Schedule, as it stands now, shows that new premier episodes end after episode 167. The schedule shows premiers ending on Nov. 21 with episode 167, followed by Memories of Nobody and DiamondDust Rebellion airing in the following weeks, then after that Adult Swim will begin showing bleach reruns. The schedules shows no premiers after that (see: [1]). Unless there's a source that can confirm the airdates listed in the article, the dates should be removed. 72.224.40.131 (talk) 18:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After doing some google searches, I can't find any evidence of that the currently listed airdates are correct. Plus, given the fact that the official Adult Swim schedule shows that they will stop airing premier episodes after episode 167, and won't be airing any new episodes for an unknown period of time, I'm going to go ahead and remove the english airdates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.224.40.131 (talk) 22:23, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No new episodes on Adult Swim[edit]

Knowing what tends to happen, I thought I'd give a heads up that any April airdates that may be added will be incorrect. Adult Swim will be showing repeats, not the previously advertised new episodes.[2] Dandy Sephy (talk) 16:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rurichio, not Lurichio[edit]

This is how the dub pronounces it anyways. Should the article be changed to reflect this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.78.49.161 (talk) 04:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
