So Rukia gets grabbed by Yammy in Las Noches:

Yammy then throws her at the ground, but she is falling for more than a couple
of minutes:

But Ichigo jumps from above the sky in Las Noches and makes it to her before
she hits the ground:

I know physics is not always followed in anime but this just seems _so far
off_. Why would the animators do this? The scene does not seem way too
important to me, and you don't even see Ichigo save Rukia—it is implied that
he does as he is seen standing next to her when the smoke clears.

This happens at the end of episode 285 and into episode 286.

Why does Rukia fall for so long when getting thrown by Yammy?


I timed it at [5:18-5:34ish](http://www.anime-realm.com/Bleach-
episode-286-2-sub.html) for the animation of release to smoke cloud.

Anyways, the stretch of physics would be bad if he threw her _underneath_ him,
near his feet. But my eyes saw his arm stretched out away from his body after
the toss in an attempt to basically spear-chuck her.

My speculation would be that they're relying on a set of three overlapping
times: Ichigo's catchup (shortest span of observed time), Yammy's toss (short
span of observed time), and Rukia's trajectory (longest span of observed time
to get in frantic dialogue).

For anime fluff, this feels around average.
