Bleach episode 21 review
This episode includes two mentions of one-on-one battles and one big “WHAT?” In other words, it was a very Bleachy episode of Bleach.
Ichigo & pals make it through the gate to the Soul Society, then face a giant wall and a giant opponent. This guy’s a complete idiot, and he loses to Ichigo easily. So, Ichigo & pals are allowed in, but guess who shows up just in time? Gin Ichimaru, my least favorite original Captain.
There were a ton of little jokes and one-liners in this episode that I really enjoyed. Maybe the battle hasn’t begun yet, but these characters are keeping it lighthearted. And Yoruichi is still a cat, and totally different in personality than her human form. But she’s still a he for now, which means the Best Girl is totally obvious.
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (7)
Episode rating: 7/10
