Bleach episode 8 review
Ichigo & his family are going to visit their mother’s grave when chaos ensues. That chaos doesn’t even include Karin kicking Isshin like any good daughter would. As it turns out, a Hollow attacks his family, and a random Soul Reaper confronts Rukia. This is the first sign we have that Rukia is in deep, deep trouble with the Soul Society.
Otherwise, the rest of this episode is simply Ichigo beating himself up for his mother’s death, which gets totally retconned in Thousand-Year Blood War. I have a hard time taking anything serious involving Ichigo’s parents because of the major retcons that occur there. Overall, just an average episode, not great though not really bad either.
Best girl of the episode: Karin Kurosaki
Episode rating: 6/10
