Bleach episode 159 review
We have an interesting scene between Orihime and Ulquiorra which should prove once and for all that UlquiHime is a joke. Ulquiorra tells her that her friends will die, it’s just a matter of time, and that if she doesn’t eat, he will force it down her throat. Orihime then slaps Ulquiorra across the mask. If somehow that is supposed to be proof that the two of them have some sort of relationship with each other, then it’s worse than Stockholm Syndrome.
But obviously there is nothing between the two of them, as I’ve said all along. Meanwhile, Chad dies, according to the episode title, which means he didn’t. Renji and Dondechakka fall down into a trap set by Szayelaporro. Dondechakka falls on top of Renji, causing an argument between the two of them which is nearly identical to what’s going on between Pesche and Ichigo Uryu. Szayelaporro actually calls them out on it, asking if they are finished with their “comedy routine.” He said the quiet part out loud. These “comedy routines” are getting old fast. I’m not against comedy, but when it involves one person (Nel’s friend) being stupid and the other (Ichigo’s friend) being annoyed at them and it’s the exact same thing going on in two places at once, it kind of loses its comedic touch.
Rukia still is fighting Aaroniero, and Ichigo is running from something – maybe poison gas.
