Bleach episode 53 review
Oh, is this getting good! In this episode, Kaname Tosen uses his sense of “justice” to take away two of Kenpachi Zaraki’s senses… sight and sound. But he can’t eliminate Zaraki’s ability to touch, and that leads to his downfall. In one of the best fights of this arc, Zaraki defeats Tosen and advances to the next round in the bracket to face Sajin Komamura, who is revealed to be a wolf (not a fox, as I once thought).
Meanwhile, Gin taunts Rukia and breaks her resolve, meaning that she got her hopes up for a second before getting them burst like a bubble. Ichigo is still training, while Renji is being healed by Hanataro after Retsu Unohana saved him. Oh my, this is all so good. This is Bleach at its best. And it’s not going to lose any steam for a while. Enjoy the ride.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (13) (Unohana would have won had she gotten more screen time)
Episode rating: 10/10
