Bleach episode 226 review
Mila, Sun-Sun, and Apacci’s creation turns into King Kong and starts beating its chest. Old Man Yama looks on and joins the fight. The other Soul Reapers pretty much go down in order, at least the Lieutenants. Some of the Captains are fighting – Soi Fon vs. Barrigan, Shunsui vs. Starrk, and Toshiro vs. Harribel.
Then we abruptly jump back to Hueco Mundo, where Ichigo and pals are fighting. I am again reminded about how much I hate Ulquiorra. And then…
That’s right, the breaking of the fourth wall. Nel literally breaks the fourth wall by talking right into the camera. She informs us that we will be going on hiatus and that the next episode will be filler (more or less). It’s a funny scene, though it concerns me how long we might be on hiatus. Doesn’t make a difference, I guess; I still gotta watch.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (17) (now fourth place behind the Charlie’s Angels from the SCANDAL Shojo S OP)
Episode rating: 7/10
