Bleach Thousand Year Blood War episode 22 review
A rather disappointing episode today. Giselle battles against Ikkaku and Yumichika by using the former members of Squad 11 as zombies. That would have been entertaining, but suddenly Mayuri Kurotsuchi shows up. He’s obviously entertaining, so if he would have fought, that would have been cool too. But no, Mayuri decides to have four former Arrancar do the work for him. These Arrancar are some of which I forgot existed.
Similarly, when Yoruichi shows up for the first time in this arc (with a new voice actress), she is seen working with those people who showed up in the final arc of the anime but I totally forgot existed too. Ordinarily an appearance by Yoruichi would be enough to give her the best girl award, but that has to go to…
…wait a minute, is Yumichika telling the truth? Is Giselle really a guy? Because that would retroactively disqualify Giselle from yesterday’s award. I think we’ll do this NCAA style. We’ll let her play out her season and accumulate wins, then if she’s found to be a man, we’ll vacate all those victories. Works so well in college sports that might as well use it here.
Best girl of the episode: Giselle (for now)
Episode rating: 6/10
