Bleach episode 120 review
So, Ururu has this weird out-of-body experience where she just suddenly gets up from sleeping, goes into the sky, and starts fighting one of the Arrancar. It was a makes-no-sense moment like no other, especially given that she didn’t even defeat the guy. Then we see the modsouls trying to help Renji in his battle, but I thought they were all filler characters. Poor Renji can’t even win a battle for himself without filler characters assisting him, and he didn’t even win.
Meanwhile, the other Arrancar who is attacking Toshiro reveals that the top 10 Arrancar are called “Espada,” and that they’re ranked by number. The rest of them? Just in order that they were created. Which means, basically, that they’re fodder for the non-main characters to kill.
Just in time, Rangiku gets approval from the Soul Society to use this new tattoo thing. “Yeah, guys, you know that thing that we can activate on our bodies so we can actually win these battles instead of getting slaughtered? Yeah, I think it’s about time we activate it, because we’re getting our butts kicked out here. Anytime you want to turn it on would be nice. How about now?”
And now they’ve got extra powers, so I assume they’re going to win these battles now. Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, however? I don’t see the appeal in Grimmjow as a character, but I get the feeling those two are going to take some time in their battle against each other.
Best girl of the episode: Ururu (her first win)
