Bleach 113: Yanni

Bleach episode 113 review

When I first saw Yammy, I nicknamed him “Yanni” after the musician. But years later, after having listened to much of Yanni’s music, I don’t want to sully Yanni’s name by comparing him to Yammy. Yanni is an amazing musician who has put out a library of good music, and you ought to listen to him sometime.

Anyway, Yammy and Ulquiorra show up in Karakura Town, and if you weren’t already aware, I will make it plain and clear: Ulquiorra is my #1 least-favorite character in all of Bleach. I don’t like a single thing about him, for one point, but the fact that so many of the IchiRuki club shipped him with Orihime (and lost the shipping war, ha-ha!) made me hate him even more. You better believe I’m vindictive.

What was the episode about again? Oh, right, depressing stuff. Ichigo doesn’t want to talk with anyone. After Karin confronts him about being a Soul Reaper, then Karin doesn’t want to talk with anyone. It’s as if Ulquiorra’s appearance on Earth turned everybody into him. No one has any personalities anymore. No one, except Orihime.

Orihime shows up to SAVE Tatsuki and Chad from Yammy’s clutches, only to make the stupid decision to attack Yammy herself. (Almost wrote “Yanni” there!) That’s when Ichigo shows up to SAVE Orihime. Needless to say, Ichigo has a whole lot of problems to take care of. Not the least being the fact that he’s gone all emo when he needs to be counted on by others. Then again, if I were him, I wouldn’t blame him for feeling like he does. But come on, Ichigo, you’re protected by plot armor! You have nothing to worry about! I’m sure that, being the main character, you’ll survive to the end like in Oshi… no.

Best girl of the episode: Orihime (21)

Episode rating: 7/10
