Bleach episode 238 review
Momo and Rangiku’s Zanpakutos are friendly rivals who like to pick on each other, while still getting along with each other enough to make a good team. When Momo and Rangiku find them, they obviously fight each other in one-on-one battles™. What’s interesting is that both Zanpakutos have the exact same personality as their owners, to the point that the actual Soul Reapers aren’t acting like themselves. It’s a weird combination which I think can’t work outside of filler. Fortunately for today, this is filler.
Ichigo goes off hunting for this arc’s damsel-in-distress Byakuya Kuchiki. Instead of finding him, he finds Hyorinmaru, Toshiro’s Zanpakuto. And now Toshiro comes face-to-face with his Zanpakuto, who apparently has been suffering through some amnesia.
Altogether, probably the best episode of the arc, which gives me hope that maybe I just wrote this thing off too early the first time around.
Best girl of the episode: Haineko
Episode rating: 7/10
