Bleach episode 268 review
Loly Aivirrne is at it again! In the middle of Ichigo’s battle with Ulquiorra, she shows up with Menoly and wants to torture Orihime to death. Menoly Mallia, her sister-in-crime, has second thoughts and hesitations. So, Loly takes matters into her own hands, tearing apart Orihime’s clothes, then threatening to gouge her eyes out.
That’s when Yammy shows up as the deus ex machina. He gets into it with Loly, while Menoly watches from the sideline. Eventually, Loly gets so mad that she pulls out her Resurreccion, Escolopendra, which gives her the ability to turn everything she touches to purple poison. (Why is poison always purple?) But it apparently doesn’t work on Yammy, because he just one-shots her into oblivion.
Luckily, the Quincy Uryu had the decency to shoot an arrow into Loly’s dress, preventing her from falling to her doom. This was never shown when the anime was originally aired on Adult Swim. But we find out that important information in the Arrancar Encyclopedia at the end of the actual episode.
One of my favorite Bleach episodes of all time. What can I say? I just love Loly.
