Bleach Thousand Year Blood War episode 24 review
What’s the biggest danger in introducing a whole cast of new characters? Simply, your audience barely had time to learn their names, and suddenly they’re supposed to care when said characters’ lives are on the line. Squad Zero fits that bill perfectly. I have no idea who any of these people are, and they were introduced by name so quickly that I couldn’t memorize them (or even remember one, for that matter). Whether they die or live, I couldn’t care less. That’s the problem here.
Now, there is hope – Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, Ganju, and Yoruichi are all on their way to presumably join in the battle. But let’s face it: we’re going to have to waste a lot of time trying to either kill off or lionize the members of Squad Zero. I wouldn’t mind if Yuwabara (Yhwach) killed all of them in one swift blow. As for now, we seem to be in a waiting period before something big actually happens.
You know why I loved the Gremmy/Kenpachi fight so much, right? Because Kenpachi Zaraki’s character had been built up for such a long time, that he meant something to me. If he would have died, I would have cried. And that’s the difference between a character we know fighting, and a character we don’t know fighting. Sad to say, this was the most boring Bleach episode since TYBW started.
