Bleach episode 137 review
I think this is filler. It has to be. How did Renji actually win a battle? Though he was so pathetic that he needed the help of the Mod Souls to win the battle. That’s embarrassing. At two points in this episode, the Mod Souls use a Shadow Clone Jutsu to trick the Arrancar who “betrayed” Aizen. As it turns out, the Hogyoku he stole was a fake. No kidding.
These served as a waste of two episodes to buy more time. There was only one thing of note in this episode, and that’s the thing I’m going to use to call out Ulquiorra. His “love” for Orihime has him feeling like her powers might be useful to Aizen. I know, love at first sight. This is the first “interest” Ulquiorra has in Orihime. Meaning that UlquiHime shippers can see their ship dead on arrival. (Hard to go back to the game after that news flash, which in duty bound, we have to take.)
Indeed, it is Ururu claiming a second straight win thanks mainly to no other female characters showing up, save for a cameo appearance by Rangiku and a post-credits appearance by Karin. Now can we actually get to canon, please? I’d like to get this Orihime kidnapping over with as soon as possible.
Best girl of the episode: Ururu (4)
Episode rating: 6/10
