The fact that this episode was really slow-paced (covered one chapter of the manga) turned some situations stupid. Like Orochimaru taking forever to bring back the Sword of Kusanagi and when he used that same sword to attack Sai. Some faces were drawn a little worse than previous episodes, specially the Kyuubi, who looked way more cool in the manga than this episode.

Kabuto ends up helping the Konoha ninjas, expecting them to take out more Akatsuki members.

Orochimaru’s body is rejecting him and seems that this time he will be moving in to Sasuke’s body. 

The next episode will probably be really slow paced with Sakura talking about how she can’t help Naruto and Sai reveling Danzo plans to Orochimaru. What is Danzo up to?

I’m getting tired of seeing this poorly executed episodes with really bad animation. Is this related to money issues or are the animators just slacking off?

This episode focused on Ichida and Pesche. The episode in itself wasn’t that bad, the humor was okay and actually funny sometimes.

Cirucci Thunderwitch gets sick of them and decides to release her sword. Ichida also revels a new sword-type weapon of his. He seems confident that he will win this time.

The next episode doesn’t seem to focus on Ishida and Sado.

Rukia continues to fight "Kaien" and she finally discovers his true identity

The animation was good enough and fighting was exciting.

Rukia actually used some strategy and force the ninth arrancar to release his sword.

Rukia was seriously overpowered before, she doesn’t seem to have a good possiblity to win. But we still don’t know his "bankai" abilities, so maybe Rukia will get lucky and be able to counter it

New ED for Bleach as well. 

The next episode doesn’t seem to focus primarily on Rukia.

This episode had some nice animation.

Naruto and Orochimaru finally get serious. The action scenes were pretty cool and well done, but I think they spent to much time in between attacks and defenses. Like, when Naruto fired the chakra "canon" Orochimaru had a lot of time to summon the gates and there was a huge delay before the blast finally hit them. If things were done more frantically and with less "filler" time, the fights would have been a lot more exciting and cool, just like in some fights of the previous show.

There were some CG that, although they were cool, they didn’t match very well with the drawn characters and sceneries.

There were also some action moments where we the focus would shift to somebody else’s thoughs and that took out some of the intensity of the fights.

The next episode preview makes me remember of how Sakura tried to stop Sasuke. Will she be able to do it this time with Naruto?

The ED has changed, it seems to be made with fanart. 

It’s good to see that Dattebayo hasn’t stopped fansubbing for now.

You can expect the latest episodes to be blogged this weekend. 

Zekuto relives his memories and shares them with Ruby. We finally know why Zekuto decided to betray Stea and how he got Ruby.

Having taken all the recipes except Satan, Shin begins to engulf the whole world and capturing everything from trees to animals, to people. As everything looks lost, Kujaku returns truly mastering his father sword style and being able to cut through Shin’s "tentacles". Although, he supposedly is dead and I don’t know what is powering him.

It seems the last time that everything on Earth got destroyed and all the records of Satan started was because of Satan, being so powerful and uncontrollable, managed to not be captured by Shin and so everything got destroyed instead of merging into one. Probably only a small group of people survived all around the world. This way, I don’t get how all the other recipes still exist. Shouldn’t they have been destroyed? Maybe they are always born again after the Kabbalah fuse.

Now, Jio will be absorbed on purpose to try to defeat Miko, so that maybe everything stops. It’s cool to hear Jio talking about world domination after so much time.

Inside the Kabbalah, Jio goes to fight Miko. She states that the body he is seeing is made of spiritual energy and cannot be cut by Zero’s giant blade. But the fact that she can see this blade, means she can be cut by it.

After Miko is defeated, Satan emerges from Jio and takes a hold of his body, stating that the world is his now. It seems like he was just waiting for someone to get ride of the Kabbalah, because he couldn’t do it himself and had to run away in case the two Kabbalah started to merge.

If Satan has completely taken over Jio, them maybe the last battle for Humanity is still going to happen between Satan and all the others. It would be an emotional ending if all of Jio’s friends have to kill him. After all, he is the one who saved them.

The next chapter is probably going to be the finale. That way the last volume of the series would be complete with 4 chapters just like all the other volumes.

This chapter starts with a flashback of Ruby when her father was leaving her. He already had one of the nucleus in his body at that time.

The fight between Jio and Zekuto starts. Zekuto shows his power by using a lot of attacks from all the different elements at the same time. To counter this, Jio finally gives some use to the O-Part stuck on his left hand. As Jio finally lands one hit, another plot-twist happens as Baku is actually Amatersu Miko and she catches the legendary O-Part.

Miko talks about Zekuto past. He really had forgotten he had a child.

Miko puts the two legendary O-Parts together and the two Kabbalah beginne to fuse together. As they fuse, they take some strange shapes similar to the various stages of an human egg multiplying. They do this while kind of fitting into Shin. Shin supposedly is the "Noah’s Ark" that brought the Kabbalah through space.

As the Kabbalah merge, everyone will supposedly fuse together with it, giving away their physical forms. All becoming one with the universe. This kind of reminds me o Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Shin first starts capturing the recipes and seems like none of the recipes abilities can do anything to counter Shin, it must be the way they were meant to be. Only Jio can absorve Shin’s "tentacles" but it’s to much and neverending. As Zekuto and Ruby are caught, Zekuto finally remembers Ruby and fulfills their pinky thing promise.

I don’t see how this can end happily. If the two Kabbalah are meant to take everything, then there is no escape. Maybe Jio, being the strongest demon will be able to do something, but Cross is the strongest angel and he is worthless right now.. Maybe someone or something related to the Blue Planet will appear and save them.

This chapter makes it feel like Ishida and Renji are being saved by someone even worst than the Espada. This chapter was light on the action and heavy on the dialog. Mayuri seems very reliable having a solution or counter for every ability of Syazel.

Seems like Mayuri has everything already though of from preventing against his bankai being overtaken, to his assistant being used in some way etc.

I’m curious to see how Kenpachi’s battle will end and what will be the new encounters. I’m also eagering to see Gin and Tousen fighting. And what part will the Vaizard play in all of this? 

There will be no more Shonen Jump until January 18th, which mean no Naruto and Bleach this next two weeks.
