    Amazing showdowns!

    This was yet another great and more actionpacked episode as people really put their skills and abilities to use!

    The fights never dissapoints and you are kept on edge as you don't know how it will turn out as you feel anything could happen! As the captains regain their bankai's we get some amazingly animated and creative sequences as well as almost making us think the captains has the upper hand.... until the end and you realize the despair has only just begun!

    So far the second season is only getting better as each episode improves upon the one that came before it! Soundtrack was also great, was really hyped at some parts!
