Kenpachi Zaraki Approaches!
Tenth Squad Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto visits Fifth Squad Lieutenant Momo Hinamori while she sits in her jail cell. Rangiku brings her the last thing that Captain Aizen wrote before he was murdered. Rangiku offers Momo some advice about proper behavior given the current circumstances. Momo starts to read the note after Rangiku leaves.
Ichigo, Ganju, and Hanataro are overwhelmed by the spiritual pressure they feel. They try running from it but it gets them nowhere and merely exhausts them. Ichigo stops when he hears someone calling to him, Eleventh Squad Captain Kenpachi Zaraki. He looks up and sees Zaraki. He turns to Ganju and tells him to get out of there with Hanataro and go find Rukia, so that they can rescue her. Ichigo turns to face Zaraki while Gangju takes off running with the unconscious Hanataro over his shoulder.
Hanataro eventually wakes up. He wants to go back to get Ichigo away from Captain Zaraki. He explains to Ganju that Zaraki is immortal and Ichigo doesn't stand a chance against him. Ganju stays focused on the mission at hand and encourages Hanataro to do the same.
Ichigo talks to Zaraki and his lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi, until Zaraki insists that they begin their fight to the death. He offers Ichigo the opportunity to strike first. Ichigo says he doesn't like attacking someone who hasn't drawn their sword but then he swings his Zanpakutō at Zaraki. His blade strikes the Eleventh Squad Captain in the shoulder but it doesn't do any damage. Ichigo is stunned as Zaraki gets ready to return the favor.
Thoughts
If I remember correctly this fight will last for probably another episode or two. Ichigo seems hopelessly outmatched but somehow, someway he is going to prevail. Zaraki is not going to kill him. That said, I don't recall how this fight plays out.
This is another good episode. I love how this story is building. I love all the different characters in the Seireitei.
