Bleach 101: The Old Man and the Sea

Bleach episode 101 review

It’s Mayuri vs. Old Man Bount in this battle. And I don’t know who I’m cheering for! I hate Mayuri’s guts, but how could I cheer on the Bounts when I just celebrated Soi Fon beating one of them? The battle actually isn’t all that good. It’s basically Mayuri taking hit after hit after hit and then winning in the end. That’s a boring combination.

Thankfully, Rangiku appears in a brief scene, which saves us from the embarrassment of having no “best girl” for this episode. But I was bored to tears by this episode, because it never felt like Mayuri was in any danger. We know he can grow back arms and legs, so nothing bad happening to him even matters. An overrated episode.

Best girl of the episode: Rangiku (10)

Episode rating: 5/10
