Bleach episode 171 review
Rurichiyo shows her true colors in this episode, taking a royal temper tantrum and storming off when Kenryu told her not to eat carrots. No joke, this actually happened in a Bleach episode – a whole plot line got kicked off because someone was mad about not getting to eat carrots. If that wasn’t enough, it was Orihime who saved the day in this episode, protecting Rurichiyo when she ran off in a hissy fit. Those triangles Orihime makes, are they 2-D or 3-D? Sometimes they look like they’re just blocking in one direction.
Anyway, thanks to Ichigo & pals, everything ends up hunky dory for Rurichiyo, and she makes up with Kenryu, who makes up with her… almost said “makes out” with her, which is not all that far from what their relationship is. Now I assume we’ll get to the meat of the reason for this whole situation? I hope, at least. Otherwise, we’ll be just talking about the power of friendship and how Rurichiyo’s way of talking sounds weird when it doesn’t sound weird at all. (Oh, what a missed opportunity by the dub crew.)
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (33) (watch your back, Rukia! 2 more to catch you!)
Episode rating: 6/10
