Bleach 219 already out!

The first 6 minutes of the episode is a total waste of time. There flashback to what happened in the previous ep just took too long and it almost bored me to death. However, things pick up when we see Hisagi take on Findor. At first, Findor literally wipes the floor with the Shinigami Vice-Captain. It looks like Hisagi is outmatched, and Findor manages to score several hits with his blade. The Arrancar constantly mocks Hisagi and pushes him back, repelling all of Hisagi’s attacks while connecting with almost all of his.

Findor then does his Arrancar Resurrection… and he looks like a gigantic crab, LOL. He continues to pummel Hisagi, using highly pressurized water as range attacks. Just when Hisagi is almost about to get killed, he finally releases his Zanpaktou which resembles two gigantic sickles connected by a chain.

Here the tide of battle turns in favor of the Shinigami Vice-Captain. Findor has a hard time reading the attacks and is sliced multiple times by the deadly blades of Hisagi. At this point, you can clearly see that Findor is outclassed and is simply out of his league. By the way, I like it how Hisagi combines his attacks with his Zanpaktou with Kidou really well. Reminds me of how Kira faced Aguila.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, Hisagi cleaves off the upper half of Findor’s pincer, and then goes on to lecture him about learning how to fear your own strength and that of your enemy’s. Apparently this is a lesson that Hisagi’s former captain, Tousen, taught him. The battle comes to a grinding halt when Hisagi slices through Findor’s last Cero and connects with one last attack.
