Bleach 111: Father’s Day

Bleach episode 111 review

No clue whether there will be a photo on this page when this post is up, but in case there isn’t, it’s supposed to be Kon in Ichigo’s body running away from poison gas Grand Fisher.

So yeah, Uryu’s father is a Quincy and Ichigo’s father is a Soul Reaper. I know it sounds like kind of basic stuff, but I guess it was groundbreaking at the time. In retrospect, it looks like one of those Disney Star Wars things where they somehow manage to make everyone part of the same family tree, and it’s rather dumb. We couldn’t just have Ichigo having special powers, we had to have his Dad have them too. We couldn’t just have Uryu gain back his Quincy powers, we had to have his Dad completely renege on everything he ever said negatively about Quincies.

Honestly, this was quite the boring episode. It was mainly just Isshin pontificating for much of the episode. Is this the part of Bleach where I stopped liking it? Maybe it was. In any case, a huge reveal, but not a huge bit of entertainment.

Best girl of the episode: Ririn (3) (she was really the only female character who got any noticeable screen time this episode)

Episode rating: 6/10
