Bleach episode 165 review
One of the things I haven’t talked about much in these reviews is how much the “Nel gang” is detrimental to my enjoyment of this arc. Nel’s always crying, Pesche’s always making unfunny jokes, and Dondechakka is just… there. In this episode, there’s more of the same with all three of them doing what makes them annoying. But there was one line Pesche let out that had me scratching my head, and it’s in the title of this post. Excuse me, what?
Meanwhile, Grimmjow fights off Ulquiorra, that way he can fight Ichigo. It’s clear that he’s supposed to be the new Kenpachi, and just want to fight for the sake of fighting. Ichigo obliges, and Grimmjow calls him out on the carpet for preferring to fight him rather than just saving Orihime. Good for you, Grimmjow. That’s something I wanted to know, too. Why isn’t Ichigo just saving Orihime? Is it just that we must fulfill the requirement of at least one fight ongoing in some spot in Hueco Mundo at one time?
Anyway, Ichigo and Grimmjow fight and fight and fight, and quite honestly, it’s very boring. Fighting for the sake of fighting isn’t all that thrilling. I was highly unimpressed with this episode.
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (30)
