Bleach 293: Captain, we are receiving 285,000 hails

Bleach episode 293 review

I wish I knew what to tell them. Soi Fon goes Shadow Clone Jutsu on Aizen, while Toshiro and Shunsui record direct hits on him. Yet when Aizen reveals the truth, Toshiro actually stabbed Momo instead. So now Toshiro’s furious. Not a good idea to attack Aizen in a moment of rage. Basically, all the Soul Reapers are getting owned by Aizen, and the Visoreds too. Ichigo isn’t allowed to participate as of yet, which is for the plot and for the plot only. And where the hell is Old Man Yama? Surely the strongest (if also the stupidest) Captain could be useful right now. Oh, he’s coming next episode? Okay then.

Watching Aizen own everyone is amusing in some ways, and frustrating in others. We know by now that not a single one of these Soul Reapers or Visoreds stands a remote chance against him. Yet it’s entertaining to watch how Aizen beats every one of them. So, it’s a mixed bag which I’m perfectly happy with.

Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (29)

Episode rating: 7/10
