Bleach episode 196 review
Call to the bullpen! Ichigo & pals need some reinforcements. How about a lineup of Kenpachi, Yachiru, Unohana, Isane, Byakuya, and Mayuri? They’re going to fill in for our fallen heroes for a little while.
Unohana and Isane are too fixated on healing everyone to be of any use in the battle. And Yachiru would rather just kick around the fallen Ichigo than do any fighting, even as Orihime needlessly calls out to her to stop beating up Ichigo. So, it’s up to Mayuri, Byakuya, and Kenpachi.
Kenpachi takes on Nnoitra, Mayuri goes up against Szayelaporro, and Byakuya goes up against a guy who I’m not even sure gave his name. Byakuya of course is fighting the guy who was about to kill his sister. Yay Big Bro! Nothing better than Big Brother stepping up to the plate for his imouto.
Who’s gonna win these battles? My money’s on the Arrancar. jk lol, but let’s see exactly how these opponents go down. I know Mayuri’s coming victory is an especially sweet one.
Best girl of the episode: Yachiru (14)
Episode rating: 9/10
