Bleach episode 97 review
Uryu makes it clear to Ran Tao that Kariya “betrayed and murdered” Yoshino. What he told her was true, from a certain point of view. In reality, Yoshino betrayed Kariya, who then murdered her. Ran Tao then goes bye-bye for a while. It’s now up to Ichigo & pals to stop the growing mob of poor people who are being used as pawns for Kariya – and not one of those pawns has a chance at promoting to queen.
Toshiro faces Maki, but they don’t even bother to battle. Instead, they exchange some information, and then everyone ends up on their way to come together, right now, over me, or rather in the forest. Meanwhile, Mayuri is off doing research and using a computer. He proves himself to be endearing yet hateable at the same time. It’s amazing how he can pull that off.
This was a setup episode. They’re necessary from time to time, even if they aren’t all that interesting.
Best girl of the episode: Rangiku (9) (for her time with Toshiro and Renji as they tried to get everybody and the stuff together)
Episode rating: 7/10
