Bleach episode 216 review
In this episode, Marechiyo Omaeda lets out the biggest WHAT yet in Bleach history. And it’s not even over a surprise attack by his enemy! Rather, it’s because four of his teammates showed up on the scene. Like, what did you expect? Did you actually think they were just going to chill at home? I guess he did, and a big fuss is made about it.
Otherwise, there’s not too much progress made here. Aizen is “trapped” in Old Man Yama’s fire, and the minor Espada have to fight for him. These include King Barragan, a KINO (King in Name Only). While Barragan gets ready to fight, Ichigo is off chasing after Ulquiorra in an attempt to “save” Orihime. Yo, Ichigo, why didn’t you just protect her while you had her? Instead, we’re back to square one when it comes to saving her. It feels like the entire prior Hueco Mundo arc was a complete wash. All we got out of it was the 100-year death of Szayelaporro.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (13)
