Bleach episode 99 review

In the least surprising development ever, Kariya uses the Kusajishi crew to open up the gate for him, then he throws them away and calls them pawns. Great, Kariya, but did you know what pawns turn into? Queens.
And here’s our queen, Soi Fon, “sadi rani.” She is furious as ever, trying to keep the ryoka out of the Seireitei. Meanwhile, at the Captains’ meeting, Mayuri lays into Toshiro, then Shunsui lays into Mayuri. Good, the Captains are turning on each other again. This couldn’t possibly go wrong.
While Ichigo, Chad, and Renji are running aimlessly through the Seireitei, guided by their modsouls, Soi Fon gathers her punishment force together, and suddenly is hit by a poison dart. You can’t do this to my Captain, my Bleach queen. Fortunately, I know that Soi Fon is clothed in plot armor, since she’s a woman and Tite Kubo hates killing off female characters. Oh, and this is filler anyway.
