Bleach episode 76 review
One of the things that irks me about Bleach the most is that nearly every battle is a one-on-one battle, regardless of how advantageous it may be for one side to team up. Here we have that again, as Ichigo enters the house of the Bounts and gets told by the snake charmer that, while there are 7 Bounts present, only he will fight Ichigo. That allows Rukia and the modsouls with the chance to get away.
But then Rukia runs into a fellow Soul Reaper named Maki Ichinose. Apparently this guy has it in for Kenpachi Zaraki. So much so that he shows up and kills the snake charmer in obedience to Kariya. So Ichigo won the battle while not actually winning it. Meanwhile, Chad and Orihime (aka the useless duo) are trying to make their way to the mansion as well. And Uryu is still our damsel in distress, locked away as a prisoner.
A slight improvement on the last few episodes, I’d say.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (18) (back into a tie for first with Orihime)
Episode rating: 6/10
