Bleach episode 30 review
A throwaway line from Squad 2 Lieutenant Marechiyo Omaeda was the line of this episode. When told of Squad 11’s top guys going down, Omaeda says in the background, “I’ve told you for years that Squad 11 is overrated.” Great line by a great guy. I wish he and Soi Fon would go start popping out babies. It would give me hope for love.
Anyway, Hanataro sneaks Ichigo and Ganju through the sewer system, which somehow is totally ignored by the rest of the Soul Society. But when they come out, guess who’s waiting for Ichigo? Renji Abarai! And now they’re going to fight… the loser gets Rukia’s love! The winner survives and advances to the Sweet Sixteen. Or, should I say, Thirteen?
Great episode and lots of fun. The Lieutenants arguing with each other was the best scene of the episode.
Best girl of the episode: Rangiku Matsumoto, who had some great lines in said scene.
Episode rating: 8/10
