Bleach episode 139 review
I am vindictive. I have come to keep the receipts of all those who thought Orihime would somehow, some way, end up with Ulquiorra. This episode proves my point quite well. When Orihime is in between worlds, Ulquiorra appears and threatens Orihime’s friends. His bargain? If she goes with him, then he’ll spare her friends. Orihime, being naive and a bit stupid, believes him. And thus begins the capture.
But Ulquiorra comes off not as some sort of possible lover but rather as that of a creep. “Come with me, little girl,” he says, in the fashion of someone who would prey on innocent women. It’s disgusting to me that anyone would equate that with some sort of romance between the two. If you are someone who supports this ship, you need to repent and “reject” (pun intended) this sickening ship altogether.
Oh, and tentacles. You can guess pretty easily who gets squeezed by Luppi’s tentacles. Here’s a hint: she’s been gaining on Orihime in the “best girl” race. But Orihime is going to pull a little bit away from her today. Mr. Hat & Clogs has come to take on Luppi; Ichigo tried to kill Grimmjow in 11 seconds (in what actually lasted closer to 11 minutes) but failed, so he’s in trouble.
All of that is to say: Ulquihime sucks as a ship. You should be ashamed of yourself if you support it.
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (24)
Episode rating: 7/10
