Bleach 25 / 2.05

Penetrate the Center with an Enormous Bombshell?

Kūkaku lauches Ichigo, Ganju, Inoue, Yoruichi, Chad, and Uryū in a giant cannonball using Flower Crane Archery Second Style. Ganju takes control of guiding them towards the Seireitei but he and Ichigo get to arguing so much that he is unable to concentrate.

The canonball crashes into the shield that protects the Seireitei. It breaks through and everyone is separated as the cannonball loses its shape. They fall in different directions as Shinnigami captains, lieutenants, and others watch from below.

Thoughts

I didn't remember that that Ichigo and the others would enter the Seireitei quite so soon after they arrived in the Soul Society. Yoruichi warned them that they needed to stick together so naturally the first thing that happened is that they got split up.

This is a good episode. The action moves a little slowly and for some reason I'm okay with that. Maybe that's because it doesn't feel like it is dragging and I'm enjoying all the character interactions.
