Bleach episode 161 review

I hate the fact that I’m getting these out later and later, so I’ll try to do better the next time. Anyway, Renji fights Szayelaporro (not sure how to spell his name), and his opponent won’t let him use his Bankai. I guess this is a foreshadowing of what is to come in TYBW. Anyway, the two of them battle for a while, and obviously neither is going all out.
Meanwhile, Ichigo is confronted by Ulquiorra. Ichigo says to him, you haven’t done anything to my friends, then Ulquiorra counters with, what if I told you that I kidnapped Orihime? Ichigo goes ballistic, which I would take as another proof of IchiHime. Now we’ve got Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra… but next episode is going to have a certain character (and her friend) whom I’m a big fan of.
Best girl of the episode: Lilynette (1) (she had some screen time with Starrk as those two got formally introduced to the series)
Episode rating: 7/10
