I actually don't find the new OP all that bad... gotta love the Beat Crusaders! And I do agree that it's pretty cool to see everyone in modern clothes... I wonder if that's a hint of things to come?

The new OP and ED are certainly interesting. I personally don't like them much, but the OP shows some more nice battle scenes, and some of the characters look so cool in "normal" clothes ^_^ I'm really getting into these spoilers (except for the bad animation quality).

Quote by ova Spoiler
Fact is, he is weak, the only reason why I see Hitsugaya as strong is that he is a puny kid with ability to use Bankai. Which unlike the rest, he achieved Bankai wayyyyyyy before any other members of the Gotei even come closer to even touching that level of achievement

I don't see much in him other than being a young Bishie, and having that bankai and fact is, he is not all the strong, it is his ability of the sword, the sword is powerful, as the powerful sword of ice elemental in SS. that was all.

new stuff

hmm...quite confusing though

Quote by SpoilerTrue, but Ichigo tends to replenish his own reiatsu quite quickly. That's why he seems to have reasonably fast healing, and it's even possible for him to make far too much, as per the Menos fight early in the manga. Ichigo's beaten Captains before, as has Baishin, so the two could be seen to be on some sort of par.

Another thing to remember is that Ichigo isn't a true Shinigami, and one of his power level would usually have a power limiter when on Earth, just like Hitsugaya does in the manga when fighting the Arankaru. True, in the current anime Ichigo finds it harder to do Ban Kai and such, but those are fillers and not exactly a faithful adaptation of the manga, so probably don't need to be taken as exact.

Of course your first point happens to be the most prominent. Ichigo's bound to be overpowered, he is afterall the main character.

yeah that sux
they always make hitsugaya weak

I was just thinking of the OVA, and now I'm kinda confused.

Quote by SPOILERWhen Baishin drained Ichigo's reiatsu, he took about half the first time, and some more the second time. Now, comparing Hitsugaya and Ichigo, when Hitsugaya fought, he didn't even scratch Baishin with his Bankai. On the other hand, Ichigo, with probably about 75% of his reiatsu gone, somehow manages to go Bankai and kill Baishin. Reminding you that Baishin killed 2 Captains (and quite possibly did it without even achieving Bankai) before he was sealed, to me, it suggests something:

Ichigo is majorly overpowered and, according to this OVA, Ichigo is quite possibly twice as strong as Hitsugaya

There goes my wierd logic again, but please correct me if I'm wrong in saying that the power levels in this OVA are way off.

Anyhow, I watched it with the [AnCo-YGO] subtitles, which weren't too bad.

chaosmongoose, you could also get the torrent from Bleach7.

Yes, the Sealed Sword was nice. I was disappointed that of the Captains, only Hitsugaya really fought, but overall, it was cool ^_^

Agreeing with Shadowled, it is a standalone. Some parts of it tie in with the current filler situation, but it's mostly unique.

u can find the ova off of bleachportal

the new ova was so cool
XD

Quote by ShadowledI've just seen the subbed version of 'The Sealed Sword Frenzy'. It vaguely fits in with the story , but is best seen as a stand alone. At any rate it's quite nifty.
