Ichigo and Co. are trying to save Rukia from getting her head chopped off, but in order to get to the Soul Society they have to travel through this dangerous portal. Uryuu is almost engulfed by the current, but my main man Chad comes to the rescue by ripping part of his clothes off, and  carrying him on his shoulder. Now why does that sound kinky?

The gang is not out of danger just yet. There is something called the Cleaner that comes through every 7 days to clean out the passageway. Only thing is, it’s about to clean Ichigo out as well. You know, I’ve got to blame Yoruichi for all of this. Don’t you think she should have been able to time their departure a little bit better so they wouldn’t be in danger all the time?

Now it looks like they’re not gonna make it, until Orihime (aka Big Boobed Bimbo) uses some kind of spell to shield them from this Cleaner, and they survive. You mean to tell me that Orihime knows how to do something besides spacing out? I still don’t understand why she came along, she wasn’t even that close to Rukia, and don’t tell me she’s there because of Ichigo, only a dummy would chase after him. But wait, we are talking about Orihime, so I may be able to understand that one.

So they land in the Rucon district, and……well what do you know, Uryuu bought an extra suit along, how nice. There’s nothing worst than fighting in torn, dirty clothes. Now instead of slowing down a bit in order to strategize the next move, Ichigo (in all his dumbness), starts running up to the soul reaper gate so he can start kicking some butt. Only thing is, the gate slams down in front of him. What a dufus.

Now enters Jidanbo, the gate keeper who’s gonna teach Ichigo some manners. Well, he’ll try to at least. He strikes Ichigo with his ax, but somehow (call it a miracle) he’s able to block all the attacks with his zanpakto, and is still standing (frown). But I’m not convinced, how is a zanpakto (which is wielded by a weakling) able to stop the full force of an ax handled by a strong giant?

Now it’s Ichigo’s turn to do some damage. With his zapakto, he’s able to destroy both of Gidambo’s axes. This poor excuse for a giant starts sobbing, talks a bunch of crap, and opens the gate so that Ichigo and the gang can enter. WHAT? What is wrong with this guy? Just because you lose your axes is no reason to admit defeat, and open the gate to a bunch of intruders, c’mon!

Well well, here comes captain Ichimaru (aka Clown face) from squad 3, and he’s not happy with Gidambo. “Do us all a favor Ichimaru, and kill the damn fool, and get Ichigo while you’re at it!” But will he?

Our favorite vampire kid asks Petro (chief of Inquisition) to escort him to the embassy, but he’s says no way and tells Ion in so many words to get lost. Ion decides to offer up his life after the mission is complete. Hey, I’m all for that, I’m tired of watching that brat anyway. But we know it doesn’t happen, since he shows up in episodes 15 and 16.

Petro agrees to the bargain, but says he will also arrest Abel and Esther when it’s all over. “Now, let’s don’t get carried away Petro, you can take Esther and do with her whatever you wish, but leave Abel alone!”

Hey, I didn’t tell you, Dietrich (aka Sexy Snake) from episode 4 is back, and I think he and Radu are in cahoots. So the two of them meet up back in the cave (at least that’s where I think they are), but Dietrich isn’t happy that Radu didn’t finish the job against Ion. So he puts the hurtin’ on Radu with a snap of his fingers. Wow, I didn’t think Dietrich had that kind of power, but he does.

Radu gets pissed off, and strikes back with his flame thrower attack, but it fails once again. You know, he really needs to find another attack, since Dietrich is trying to choke the life out of him. Okay this is the deal, Radu’s mission is to prevent the embassy and the cardinal from meeting so that the Vatican and the Empire will fight.

Radu goofed up by letting Ion live, but will have another chance to get it right later on in this episode. To liven things up a bit, Dietrich sends death hunters after Cardinal Caterina. No need to worry, my favorite robot Tres is all over this, but once again I can’t get any good screenshots of the fight because of the dark. Damn!

Tres is firing away, but a death hunter gets by him, and is after Caterina. What’s gonna happen if she gets it? Think about it, without Caterina we wouldn’t have Abel, Tres, Hughe, or Leon, all the Trinity Blood hotties. So we definitely have to make sure that she lives, at least until the series is over. So this hunter is after Caterina, but Paula (an Inquisitorial Soldier) is able to slice that hunter in two, and Tres destroyed all the others. “All Right!”

Next scene, Petro, Ion and Abel are speeding down the street with Esther at the wheel. Now I know she’s in a hurry, but they need to get to their destination in one piece. Okay this is kind of sexist, and I see I’m gonna have to write a letter to the anime writers, why is the woman the crazy ass driver?

So they’re racing down the street and drive right into Radu, who’s sporting a new Goliath Electric Tank stolen from the Inquisitorial Dept. This tank attacks Ion, but Petro jumps in and takes the hit….the fatal hit. Oh well, he wasn’t my favorite character anyway. Only thing is, Ion got hit too, and his blood is all over the place. But he doesn’t die, so please save your tears for another episode.

Now while all this action is going on, Abel must have snuck away to turn into a crusnik, and now it’s time to go after Radu, but not without drinking all that extra vampire blood Ion left lying around after he took a hit. It’s really an awesome scene, but once again, it’s too dark for me to get a good screenshot.

You really need to see this episode. I can’t believe that Ion lost so much blood and still lived. Now it’s time for Abel to kick some major Methusela butt. Radu fires at Abel, but it doesn’t do any good. Abel uses his powerful electric charge to kill Radu, and the electric show is very entertaining for all to see.

Esther is startled to see Abel in such a state, and she tells him to back off. “Esther,so you found out that Abel is a crusnik, but he’s only like that a few days out of the month, so stop being a jerk!” I don’t know why, but this is a very emotional scene for Abel, so we’ll let him have his cry and fast forward to the next scene where Ion finally gets a chance to meet with Caterina, probably to have peace talks.

Yes folks, Ion is still alive (sigh), but I don’t care. I just hope I don’t have to see him in the next chapter but you never know…………………….

Listen up people! Back by popular demand, I have decided not to drop Fruits Basket or Bleach so be on the lookout for me to continue these two series. As a matter of fact, I won’t be dropping anything, so look forward to me finishing up all the anime series that I’m working on.

As far as Bleach is concerned, I will be starting with Vol 6. (episode 21), so be looking for me to start working on that sometime next week. Chow!
