Bleach episode 91 review
The chain reaction caused by Uryu’s battle with Mayuri back in the Soul Society arc has finally come to this grand conclusion. Uryu fought Mayuri to save his “daughter” Nemu, and thus grew a bond with Nemu after she SAVED him. Then 40 episodes or so later, Nemu comes back into the world of the living. There, she restores Uryu’s powers to him, as a goodwill gesture. What should have happened next was a grand wedding between Uryu and Nemu, and we could have saved ourselves the entire Thousand-Year Blood War.
But no, Uryu now uses those powers he gained for evil. He allows the Bounts to gain their portal into the Soul Society by shooting it open with his newfound powers. And off Kariya & pals go! They are now in the Soul Society, and they couldn’t have done it with Uryu’s help.
Afterward, everyone shows up and realizes just how bad Uryu has biffed it. The only response is for everyone to head back to the Soul Society to SAVE the Soul Society from the Bounts. Although, Uryu says that Ichigo wasn’t in any shape or condition to take on the Bounts as he was, which sadly was true.
Now we get some other Soul Reapers to take on the Bounts! And the only Soul Reaper I can remember taking them on is… well, we’ll get to him soon enough. At least we’re set up for a thrilling fight. But just remember: if things go downhill, it was all Mayuri’s fault.
