Bleach Episode 121 - Clash! The person who protects vs. the person who is hidden

Well that was a lot of fun to watch. They really extended the part where Grimmjow beats up on Ichigo, making Ichigo seem very much like a punching bag. And yet, despite that fight lasting longer than I thought it would, they still managed to get through three and a half chapters worth of manga material. This was an action episode though, so it’s understandable, but I still worry about what happens if or when they catch up to the manga.
Tousen’s appearance in this episode has me wondering about power levels again. How much stronger is Tousen now if he can order Grimmjow around? I guess what I’m getting at is that I wonder if he’s stronger than Zaraki now. I’d love to see them in a rematch of their Soul Society battle (then again, as I’ve said in the past, I’d love to see more of Zaraki in general).
Anyway, new Bleach OPs and EDs always manage to get me excited about this show all over again. And the preview for next week shows lots of juicy bits, including more of Tousen, and Ichigo going up against Shinji.
