Bleach episode 13 review
We get the introduction of the Shun Shun Rikka, the little fairies that are responsible for Orihime’s powers but get completely forgotten about as characters as the series goes along. Actually, do they ever really do much after this episode? Probably not much.
But this is a fantastic episode, with Chizuru’s antics and Tatsuki trying to protect Orihime, only for Orihime to have to protect Tatsuki. I love Tatsuki, but man, Orihime is next to perfect. Maybe that’s a weakness of the writing, but Orihime is one of those characters no one should hate. Oh, and if I didn’t ship IchiHime, I might ship Orihime x Tatsuki.
Anyway, Orihime learns about her powers, uses them to fight a Hollow, then gets hooked in by Mr. Hat & Clogs along with Chad to find out the truth about the world. Meanwhile, Rukia panics, while Ichigo and Uryu fight each other in their meaningless battle. Seriously, Uryu, just hurry up and join Yhwach already!
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (3)
Episode rating: 9/10
