My favorite battle is Byakuya vs Ichigo in my opion it is the best battle so far

hmm... Byakuya vs. Ichigo was a good battle... showing Ichigo doing bankai for the first time and his hollow taking over.

I'd say Hitsugaya vs. Gin is the best so far in the anime.

Gin v. Hitsu was only good because we got to see Gin's eyes... it was over too fast, though.

My favorite was Ichi v. Zaraki, because it was a deliciously madcap, no-frills bloodfest, which is a nice breath of fresh air in a shonen series like Bleach.

Ichi v. Byaku was excellent as well, but obviously the flavor was totally different... but very epic, lol. Very epic.

Hahaha the eyes they showed were red because Kubo hadn't drawn them in colors yet. Later on it was revealed that Gin's eyes were actually blue/green.

So no, I wouldn't say that the highlight of the battle was a misinterpretation and communication failure revolving the color of Gin's eyes. I liked how Hinamori attacked Hitsugaya and how he then fought Gin in his despair.

But we still got to see them!

Anyway... yeah, I'm starting to remember that. It was still a short fight, though. It was interesting and compelling as a psychological moment, but as an actual battle... ehh.

Yeah.. and I take it "actual battle" is defined as "bloodfest" in your vocabulary?

Nah... there just has to be more actual fighting. lol.

Well on a stable second place I have the Byakuya - Renji fight.

So far, my favourite battle is "Ichigo vs Byakuya". Even more so for what happened BEFORE the actual duel, with Ichigo taking out 3 lieutenants at once with just his bare hands ! As for the actual battle, it was brilliant when Ichigo used high-speed flash steps alongside his brand new Tensa Zangetsu to combat Byakuya's three-stage Bankai. If the intense combat maneuvers weren't enough Hollow Ichigo takes over 1/3 of the fight to boot!

Yeah that battle was pretty immense... I liked the way he just shattered the "cross" with his sword and what you mentioned with the lieutenants there. Good battle indeed.

Hmm, i like Kenpachi vs Ichigo, that was pretty good

Komamura and Ruko have good taste, lol.

Thanks . Although, the one battle I'm sure everyone's looking forward to, is "Ichigo vs Grimmjow" in Hueco Mundo. Now THAT fight, is a taste of Hell

way to revive an old post but to continue on the subject i liked the battle between the arrancar that came to earth and ichigo's team

in my opinion the best battle was the one between Ikkaku and that one Arrancar(can't remember his name)for me it was one of the most epic moments in Bleach and I was literally at the edge of my seat cause it was so awesome to me when Ikkaku used his Bankai

I agree Gin is one of my favorite characters and I just love seeing how evil he is.

well my favorite battle right now happened in the manga so if you haven't read it yet you better start now.

Spoiler:

Kenpachi vs Nnoitra was so epic for no reason,one of the most badass battles they had in a while.

which reminds me,where the hell did Grimmjow go?!

I will agree that the battle was epic but the ending was very anti-climatic .......

Spoiler:

I mean Kenpachi beat the 5th strongest Espada just by gripping his sword with two hands >_>. I mean it was very Kenpachi like, I guess I just had my hopes to high that he would have something better.

oh well theres a simple explanation for that...Kenpachi is a badass
