Bleach episode 174 review
This episode is rather straightforward, and not in a good way. We get boring battles between Ichigo and these bad guys trying to capture Rurichiyo, and we get this coup d’etat being run by the one bad guy over in the Soul Society. He picks the boy who Rurichiyo is being forced to marry (again, as always, arranged marriages have to be portrayed as EVIL!), and he takes over the clan while Rurichiyo is off being a spoiled brat to Ichigo.
Some of the fighting is nice, but it’s just hard to take seriously when Ichigo’s having trouble with this random purple-haired guy, when he could take down Grimmjow. I guess it’s not supposed to make sense. Yoruichi had to step in to help SAVE Ichigo. But hey, nice battle scenes!
Best girl of the episode: Yoruichi (7)
Episode rating: 6/10
