Bleach episode 83 review

Rukia and Orihime team up with Kurodo to fight one Bount, and Kurodo (the modsoul) turns into Renji to give the two girls more of a fighting punch. That fails, though, and they’re left in a bad situation.
But not nearly as bad as a situation as Ichigo. He was actually winning the fight as Hollow Ichigo (Hichigo?), but then he insisted on taking his mask off, and then he got beaten down by the Bount against him.
And that’s not even why Ichigo’s situation is so bad! No, it’s really bad because he has to listen to one of the most mundane and boring flashbacks ever by the Bount. Seriously, I could not possibly care less about them.
Also, in Kon’s “Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers – Golden” at the end of the episode, there’s a pretty funny scene with Kaname Tosen. I didn’t realize the guy was a humor magnet.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (21)
Episode rating: 6/10 (would have been a 5 if not for Tosen’s ten-second spot at the end)
