Trivia

 * In the beginning of the episode, Ichigo flashes back to when he was 8, where he was watching the champion duel. Right after that duel, Ichigo went to meet that champion, and that was when he was given "Zangetsu". Why is that event so important? It's because the champion mentioned is Davis Motomiya, the duelist we were following the last four stories.
