Bleach episode 217 review

I am not even exaggerating when I tell you that this entire episode consisted of Yumichika and the one Fraccione just calling each other ugly for 20 minutes straight. It was an old joke about 10 seconds after it was used the first time, and by a minute in, it was already ancient. Yet they’re still calling each other ugly up till the last attack by Yumichika. Of course he wins. And of course he gets another embarrassing moment, this time being a toadstool instead of being Iron Chef Yumichika.
Since no female character showed up in the episode proper, I’m going with Rangiku for her appearance in the post-credits scene, where she bowls over Ichigo with all the bags of stuff she’s been buying in the World of the Living (TM).
Best girl of the episode: Rangiku (26)
Episode rating: 5/10
