Bleach episode 201 review
This entire episode is Kenpachi Zaraki going up against Nnoitra in a battle of the ages. First, Kenpachi loses his eyepatch, which causes him to grow even more powerful. Then he cuts Nnoitra, only for Nnoitra to come back with an attack that seemingly puts Kenny out cold. But Kenpachi comes back and slices off one of Nnoitra’s arms. That’s okay, Nnoitra says, cause he will just grow more arms. And thus the battle goes on and on.
Kenpachi Zaraki is obviously one of the easiest people to root for in Bleach, so watching him in battle is a delight. The only thing that gives me a bit of trepidation is the fact that Ichigo has been reduced to a battle commentator role. That’s odd. But whatevs, we have to have battle commentators in Bleach, no matter who’s fighting. Yachiru fills the role well, giving her the honors for today.
Best girl of the episode: Yachiru (16) (that is a boatload for a character who’s not really one of even the supporting cast)
Episode rating: 8/10
