How well is Ichigo really coping with the loss of his soul reaper powers, and how much does he really miss his friends from the Seireitei? Will Ryuuken ever be a good dad to Uryuu? What do we think about Tatsuki's new mullet? And where the heck is Chad?!

Episode 47: Nnoitra is an Asshole 𝘢𝘯𝘥 a Dick (Anime Episodes 193, 194, & 195)
Which Espada is the biggest asshole? Which fracciones are the most powerful? What do hollow masks really mean? How long has Aizen been hanging out in Hueco Mundo? Is Byakuya really the kind of guy who sends people fruit baskets? Who the heck is on the cover of manga volume 34, King of the Kill? Tune in this week to hear Del and Nomi ask (and occasionally answer) all of these questions, and more!

Episode 46: We Don't Talk About Szayel's Hollow Hole (Anime Episodes 190, 191, & 192)
...or do we?! Tune in this week to hear what Del and Nomi have to say about Aizen's kingly ambitions, Nnoitra's ruthless fighting style, and Nel's extraordinary transformation. Also, thoughts and feelings on censorship are expressed. Seriously - why is episode 192 called that, and why doesn't the anime tell us where Szayel's hollow hole is? A truly LEWD-icrous double standard!
