Bleach episode 102 review
Yoshi (the green-haired Bount) and the Quincy Uryu go at it in an all-out battle, and it appears that Yoshi has the better of it. Meanwhile, Kariya defeats poor Nemu, who has gone through enough hell in her life and doesn’t need any more. Nevertheless, he does so, and then Ichigo shows up, too late. Because while Ichigo is flailing away with his Bankai (and with Chad being useless as ever), Kariya finds “The Crest” which is so important.
Then he starts talking in German. Did you know that any time a character speaks German, they instantly become evil? It’s true. Ragyo Kiryuin had a German song. Fuhrer King Bradley of FMA had a German title to his name. Asuka spoke German, but only early on when we weren’t sure if she was on our side or not. Bernhard Langer? Well, there’s a guy who speaks German and isn’t evil in the least bit. He’s one of the classiest guys to ever play the game. So, maybe not, I guess.
Anyway, Kariya gives the Soul Society 1 day to have enough time to figure out a way to defeat him. Why? Because he wants to lose, of course. But hey, let’s oblige him. Ichigo, go off on one of those training things that Goku and Gohan do where they train for a year in the matter of a day. That ought to be enough to take down Kariya, and end this arc.
