Bleach episode 264 review
Nanao finally gets an episode of her own! Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most snail-paced, boring episodes in some time. Basically, she’s forced to babysit one of Shunsui’s Zanpakutos. That Zanpakuto doesn’t talk or show any emotion, as her face is covered up by a mask. It feels like a story of a person trying to help out a physically impaired person, which is admirable, except it isn’t actually clear if said character actually is physically impaired, or just really shy.
Anyway, Nanao connects with her through flowers, before an attack by a Sword Beast forces Shunsui to get involved and SAVE them. And all’s well that ends well; Shunsui gets drunk and the Zanpakuto fixes Nanao’s hair with a flower. It’s a touching scene. But the episode on the whole was quite boring.
Best girl of the episode: Nanao (6)
Episode rating: 5/10
