Bleach episode 140 review
You might not know some of the terminology I use about Bleach. The first one is “WHAT,” which is when a character is surprised and lets out a big “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?” This episode had several instances where a “WHAT” would have worked, but surprisingly not given by the characters in question.
The second term is “SAVES.” It’s not a hockey save, though. It’s when a character is about to be killed, and at that very moment someone appears from off screen to stop the attack. This happened about six times in this episode. Urahara SAVED Rangiku, Urahara SAVED himself, Toshiro SAVED Rangiku, Rukia SAVED Ichigo, Shinji SAVED Rukia, and Ulquiorra SAVED Shinji.
Obviously, when something like that happens that many times in the same episode, it gets a little tiresome. It’s a bit annoying, to say the least. How many times does it need to happen before you start rolling your eyes with each new SAVE? I’m not sure, but a few more times and I’ll be there.
But all that matters now is that we’ve come to that poignant episode tomorrow where Orihime will confess her love to Ichigo. I’ll try to hold back my tears as best I can.
Best girl of the episode: Rangiku (21)
Episode rating: 7/10
