Bleach episode 241 review
Did I miss a day? Oh, well, I guess I’ll just have to squeeze in two today. Byakuya turns on the Soul Reapers and joins the rogue Zanpakuto, and everyone is left to figure out what to do about it. For one thing, Nanao plans to cover it up, but Shunsui saves us from Byakuyagate by deciding to tell anyone and everyone that Byakuya is a traitor now. Rukia finds out and is traumatized.
Then Byakuya goes ahead and destroys her Zanpakuto before showing up in the Soul Society to attack Rukia. Seriously, Big Bro? You’re losing your position as the Big Brother that all the little sisters look up to. But Renji starts fighting Byakuya before he can hit Rukia, and now it’s Byakuya vs. Renji at the same time as Senbonzakura vs. Zabimaru – two dueling fights of which one is not even a one-on-one battle™.
Interesting episode, and certainly one capable of keeping my interest in this arc.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (47) (a full 10 ahead of Orihime. I think the best girl crown is just about clinched)
Episode rating: 7/10
