Bleach 109: Bad Shield United

Bleach episode 109 review

In a bizarre swing of events, Ichigo goes from arguing with Renji to talking to Rukia to suddenly being in his home classroom talking to Keigo who has an oddly-named manga in his hands (and quite possibly a self-insert), to suddenly taking care of wandering spirits along the streets, to back in the Soul Society talking to Captain Ukitake, to leaving the Soul Society, all the while mumbling something about controlling fate. The way the timeline shifted back and forth with no warning was jarring, and not in a good way.

The Bount arc is officially over. As a whole, it wasn’t bad; it certainly wasn’t good, save for the Kenpachi Zaraki and Soi Fon fights which were off the charts. I’ll miss it soon enough. It had its problems – a whole, big lot of problems – but ultimately it entertained me enough to break the record of most consecutive days into a year blogging Bleach. Can I reach the finish line? Only one way to find out… check in tomorrow!

Best girl of the episode: Rukia (24)
