Bleach episode 294 review
Old Man Yama finally joins the battle! He waited until everyone else was incapacitated, of course. And now he’s going to take on Aizen… but wait a minute, that’s Wanderweiss’s music! Wanderweiss shows up for the sole purpose of taking on Yamamoto. And he succeeds, at least in the sense of beating Yamamoto, but not in the sense of taking out everybody else, like Aizen literally applauds Yamamoto from avoiding. Then Aizen walks over to kill Old Man Yama, but he reaches out and grabs Aizen. His power increases, and then here comes Ichigo to save the day.
Despite what I’ve written here, this was actually a pretty boring episode that I checked out of halfway through. I wanted to see an all-out Aizen vs. Yamamoto battle. That would have been entertaining, but instead we get Wanderweiss showing up for the sole purpose of making sure we don’t get an Aizen vs. Yamamoto battle. And thus it’s Ichigo’s time again to go at Aizen. News flash: it’s going to take a little longer until Ichigo has a legitimate shot.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (30) (not really for much, but she appeared in the recrap of the previous episode, so I had to pick some female)
Episode rating: 6/10
