They’re similar in concept to Zanpakutou, but more one-dimensional. They possess a power to call on ‘dolls’ – a separate entity in their control with unique abilities. Simply, you’d think of them as vampires, but they’re a little more beyond that – they aren’t afraid of sunlight, the crucifix or garlic necklaces of old folklore. And it wasn’t before long before we get our first glimpse of Bount – the soundtrack accompanying beautifully to their mysteriousness and unknown. The introduction of Bounts post-Soul Society placed the danger element back to the World of the Living, a task force watching over the disturbances of people disappearing, and vanish into thin air. With Aizen having gained the Hogyoku and the destruction laid bare on Soul Society, thhe little time between then and Bount ensures there’s little room to breathe.

I was amazed at the little time between rescuing Rukia and the start of the Bount arc, as it wasn’t before long Yoruichi and Soi Fon start to investigate unusual human disappearances in the World of the Living. With Rukia saved and Soul Society repairing the damage and adjusting to a world that has changed forever, Ichigo and crew head back to Karakura town to continue life, attending school and Ichigo now officially dubbed a substitute Shinigami of Soul Society. NETFLIX The Left Behind Bounts Jin Kariya is a worthy villain to an otherwise less than inspiring Bount lineup Which is a shame, as the latter half is where the story gets real good. The story in itself I find very good and enjoyable, but the reason why Bount gets a less-thrilling reception, is because of the story’s very slow pacing at the beginning, which sluggishly moves and sucks up the souls that some falter to watch until the pivotal point. But in isolation, it’s jam-packed with context, history, a great villain and action worthy story of not being dismissed as simply a filler, but something more substantial.Īfter re-watching the Bount arc, there are enjoyable moments with cool fighting sequences, signature humour which sit well, better character depth in learning more of Ishida, Rukia’s limitations, the thirteen court guards lieutenants and Ichigo’s internal struggle dealing with his hollow side. Whether you consider it a filler arc, is up for debate – certainly when compared to the outlandish attempt to rescue Rukia in it’s scale, details and longevity.

After a highly-climactic opening that flexed the prowess of the Thirteen Court Guards, and bankai everywhere you go, the Bount saga seems like a less-loved affair that doesn’t hold up to the same standard. As a big long-time fan of the anime Bleach, the proceeding Bount arc after rescuing Rukia was less memorable, and seen as the downbeat story of the Bleach series.
