Bleach episode 179 review
You can tell this episode is filler by one thing: the wisdom of Old Man Yamamoto. Here’s a guy who’s wrong about everything, and often makes very stupid errors. Yet in this episode, he comes up with a brilliant idea. When Captain Amagai suggests the squads work together, he gets told off by Mayuri and Kenpachi. But then Yamamoto decides he’s going to test the squads by creating some fake Menos. The squads all start competing with each other to try to be the first to defeat the Menos, and act in complete chaos. That proves the point to Old Man Yama, who now realizes that Amagai’s suggestion was a good one. Amagai then leads the squads to defeat the fake Menos.
But Kibune is plotting something evil, and he proves Izuru Kira to be one of the least useful Lieutenants in all the Soul Society, and that’s saying something, given that Sasukibe is still alive and that Tetsuzaemon Iba isn’t a Captain yet. Kira is completely baffled at what to do nearly every time we see the guy’s face. Maybe Kibune’s evil, but Kira is clueless.
