Bleach episode 148 review
Rukia meets a Soul Reaper in the midst of Hueco Mundo named Ashido. The guy’s been hanging out here for hundreds of years, thinking that he’s actually been putting a dent in the number of Hollows making it to the world of the living. Instead, Rukia tells him, he’s a miserable failure. No, not like that, but he is, regardless of how she says it.
So the two of them are just fighting Hollow after Hollow, while Ichigo & pals are running from poison gas, or in this case, more Hollows. Also, a bunch of Hollows capture Nel & pals and threaten to eat them. Nel tries to get away by stating that she was created by Aizen; the Hollows tell her all that gets her is a cup of tea at Las Noches. (Cue Nel & pals with the title of the post.)
At the very end, it looks like Ashido might be dead; at the very least, he got wiped out by a Hollow. So, Rukia will have to mourn him if he is dead, and then figure out how to escape without his help. Or, maybe he’ll survive. Truth be told, I don’t even remember. I do know one thing: Rukia is padding her lead on Orihime.
