Bleach episode 222 review
So, Soi Fon takes on her opponent, while her Lieutenant Marechiyo Omaeda takes on a guy dressed up like an elephant. This leads to a fight where all Omaeda and the elephant talk about is how fat each other is and about Omaeda’s wealth. It’s a pretty annoying argument, just like the one between Yumichika and Charlotte about which one of them was ugly. But at least Omaeda is getting some screen time.
Meanwhile, Soi Fon goes after someone who refuses to tell his name for much of the episode, and they go at it, with Soi Fon starting out with the initiative, but later getting schooled by her opponent. We’ll see where this one lands, but right now, Soi Fon is not backing up her rank as Captain. Of course, even Ichigo can be beat by a random Hollow if the plot calls for it, so I’m not losing any respect for Soi Fon. I just want to see her win, because there’s no more badass woman in this show than her.
