so he's a captain level? omfg

i'd say captain level but if he became a captain he'd be the weakest one

Exactly,having a bankai doesn't mean everyone's on par with squad captains!

its mostly because he does not train his Bankai,because if anyone sees that he has bankai,then he`l be forced to become captain.

but put respect on his name!!!!!!!!

No, not exactly. He's like Renji. A lieutenant that achieved Bankai.

But ikkaku mastered it before renji

Yeah, but it doesn't make them captain levels, lol. Ikkaku achieved Bankai before Ichigo went to Soul Society yet he mid diffed him. Then went up against Renji and extreme diffed him and that's only cause of MC power. Achieving Bankai doesn't make a character captain level.

Didnt know that saitama is such a big shot...He even trained renji.

Earlier, I thought Ikkaku and Yumichika are just partners in weapons, but after seeing their story, it seems they are actually something like best friends for a looong time.

Wtf ikkaku is stronger than his own lieutenant? Bro he's one of my favourite characters now. These last 2 episodes were the best.

His Lieutenant would be Yachiru. Belive me, you know nothing about Yachiru at the moment. She's dimensions apart from Ikkaku. You'll understand it later, when you see whom Yachiru really is. Or rather, what she is.

Zabimaru (Renji's zanpakuto) and hozukimaru (Ikkaku's) are quite similar (they both can split in their shikai form)

mf chopped up Rayquaza like it was nothing

lmao m ded rayquaza

hahaahahh

Damn

I really thought Renji was suprerior to Ikkaku

Me also bcuz the Ichigo defeated ikkaku in mid diff and Ichigo defeated renji after defeating ikkaku so Ichigo had gotten lot stronger then before but still that was high diff for him

Kakkoiii

HOLY SHIT THIS EP WAS SICKKK

Thank you for not letting Ikaku die.

dont lie when they were first introduced we all thought they were irrelevant characters that will be forgotten and used just to beef up ichigo

Kenpachi and his long hair from the past almost made me mistake him for Byakuya from the back view. Like literally.

Bald people are always strong

lucky day❤💗

Can't wait to see how Yachiru fights, despite her being a kid something tells me she's actually gonna be a beast like Zaraki, damn it im soooo curious i can't wait

No more need for funeral

okay but kenpachi without his spiky hairstyle looks really cool......

that a lot of respect u get from abarai...Nice Ikkaku

i never thought ikkaku will be on captain level....Omoshirei!!

IKKAKU S OP OMGGG
I am so glad this is the last episode I watched before going to sleep, I think I'm gonna have pleasant dreams. but seriously, he's amazing. I hope Captain Ikkaku and Ichigo have a real battle, I wanna see how it goes OwO

How clever of that mf yumichika to say that he knew ikkaku would be alive even when he already planned for his funeral lmao

kon rlly called hanataro’s look “boring but popular with the ladies”

"Today was a very lucky day."

Mans taking Zaraki's wisdom to heart.

This is the only flashback that I didn't get bored lmao HAHAHAHAHAHA

5:35 Hentai lord was there

Badass

U mean baldass?

It's useless, i still couldn't care less about bald guy nor his homo friend.

You can throw whatever stupid backstory you want, they are still meaningless shonen character archetypes.

Who hurt you?

Tite Kubo.

So that means when Ikkaku fough Ichigo in soul society arc he could have ended the fight with bankai ,but decided to let Ichigo go.

he badass

Explains why Renji told Uryu his name, when he first came to arrest Rukia, it was Ikkaku's teaching

respecc to ikkaku

Ikkaku really is a big shot

Bleach 's saitama seems badass

good backstory

holy shit i was not expecting ikkaku being this strong
