Bleach episode 290 review
This battle between Kaname Tosen and Sajin Komamura is more through words than it is through actual fighting. Tosen talks about revenge, justice, etc. which all rings Hollow because what he’s doing is the opposite of what he’s saying. We never really find out what Tosen’s got such a grudge about. Who killed his girlfriend? Who is he trying to exact revenge against? Did Komamura kill her? Why the heck is he mad at Komamura, who’s been his biggest supporter even up to this very point? This is just nonsense behavior out of Tosen.
Then Tosen pulls out his Resurreccion, which turns him into a giant grasshopper but at least allows him to see for the first time in his life. You know in Bleach, when a villain transforms, there’s nowhere for them to go except to the grave. Mix in the flashbacks, and we know Tosen is a goner. But will Komamura get the satisfaction of killing him off? Or will we have to force it on 69 guy who is somehow popular despite never doing one thing of significance? Tosen, the bell tolls.
