I thought this was a great episode, we finally get to see Rukia's Zanpaktou. Also I love Grimmjaw's music, that looks like it is going to be a good battle.

I do have a few question though...when Rukia introduces herself to D-Roy she is about to say 13th Squad Captain I think. But that should mean that Renji is a captain as well because he has achieved Bankai? Also is Rukia's blade like the opposite of Zangetsu, because it is pure white and Zangetsu is pure Black?

I am starting to like this arc now, because something is actually happening!

i think rukia was just saying what squad she was in, about the zanpakutō's i don't know

Yeah but she isn't in squad 13 is she usually? All I know is it sounded like she was about to say Taicho (Meaning Captain), not Fuka-Taicho (Meaning Vice-Captain), I dunno...

Episode 118 was awesome, I am really glad that they showed a lot of Ikkaku's battle instead of constantly switching between battles like they used to. Also I loved the new music when Ikkaku fights the Arrancar, and his Bankai is awesome. Ikkaku is just like Zaraki, except he can do Bankai.
