Bleach episode 71 review
The Quincy Uryu allows himself to be captured, because we needed a damsel in distress and it might as well been him this time. They’re taking turns; already Orihime and Chad have volunteered. Then everyone goes around the table talking to Mr. Hat & Clogs, who reveals that the Soul Society is interested in the Bounts because of something to do with space. Yeah, that’s right, space.
In between, Captain Shunsui goes nosing around Captain Mayuri’s stuff, and the two of them clash. I guess this is where Mayuri started to become a sympathetic character. He’s funny in this episode. Now I know why he stuck around. He and Shunsui provide good foils for each other, and the anger of each of them made for a fun moment.
But then Uryu just shows up in the hospital and everything’s all right. He has an army visit him in the hospital, with Ichigo & pals not being enough; we also had to bring around Mr. Hat & Clogs and Tessai. They have no idea what the Bounts are up to. Come to think of it, I have no idea what the Bounts are up to. I totally forget what their ultimate goal is. Maybe to go to the moon? No, that’s Dr. Stone.
