Bleach episode 118 review
Got a little behind the eight-ball with my reviewing time, so I’ll keep this one short. Grimmjow stabs Rukia and figures out quickly that she isn’t the droid he’s looking for. Assuming Ichigo goes next. As for Ikkaku and the Arrancar he’s going up against, yeah, that takes up nearly all of this episode. Basically, the two of them just fight and fight, until Ikkaku pulls out his Bankai. Then they fight some more.
I’m not a fan of the obsession of one-on-one battles, but that’s what we’re getting, because Yumichika refuses to lift a finger to help Ikkaku. If Ikkaku was the only one there, sure, that would make sense, but you’ve got two people there. Yeah, yeah, I know, Squad 11, Zaraki, blah, blah, blah. It still makes little sense to me.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (25) (by default)
Episode rating: 7/10
