Bleach episode 243 review

This episode was very nondescript, save for Soi Fon’s battle with her Zanpakuto. She gets stung once. How much do you want to bet that she doesn’t get stung in that same spot again? Otherwise, everything going on in this episode was very forgettable.
The main takeaway I have from this episode is the changing of the OP. No more Shojo S, which is quite possibly the second-best OP in Bleach history next to Asterisk. Shojo S wasn’t just catchy; it had a great collection of images to make it almost unskippable. I say “almost” because I did skip it at times, but it’s still really good.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (19)
Episode rating: 5/10
