Bleach episode 40 review
Kenpachi Zaraki reveals that Ichigo actually WON the battle, despite what it looked like last episode. Then we get a flashback as to how he and Yachiru Kusajishi got their first and last names. Very cool stuff. Yachiru continues to be awesome, and Kenpachi Zaraki wants a rematch with Ichigo, who is going to live thanks to cat-form Yoruichi showing up just in time.
Meanwhile, Ganju and Hanataro make their way to Rukia, with Ganju using Hanataro as a grappling hook in quite the amusing scene. Then, once they get to her cell, Ganju sees her and says that she’s the one who killed his brother. So, not only does Ganju get to Rukia first (who knows what the Quincy Uryu is up to), but he doesn’t even want to save her now. Great. And amidst all that, here comes big bro Byakuya, who isn’t much of a brother to Rukia… yet.
Awesome episode with not a complaint in sight.
