Bleach episode 300 review
The long-awaited return of Yoruichi Shihouin comes in this episode, minutes after Kisuke Urahara failed to defeat Aizen. Then it’s both of them going at Aizen, and neither can make much headway. Throw in Isshin Kurosaki, and you’ve got the Three Stooges getting schooled by one guy.
Meanwhile, Ichigo continues his fight with Gin, and for some reason Rangiku and Izuru want to get involved. I know there are some personal reasons there, but it seems so random that they suddenly decide they’re in this fight after lying around for the last 30 episodes.
Isshin couldn’t do it. Kisuke couldn’t do it. Yoruichi couldn’t do it. That’s three strikes, and if this was baseball, they’d be out. But this isn’t baseball, this is bowling. And three strikes in a row is a turkey. (I once very proudly bowled a turkey in my bowling class in college. Got me an A in the class.) The turkeys here are Isshin, Kisuke, and Yoruichi, who are supposed to be strong, but pale in comparison to Aizen. That means that there’s only one person left who can beat Aizen…
Hanataro! Yes, Hanataro is our last line of defense. Come on, Hanataro, go beat Aizen for us!
Best girl of the episode: Yoruichi (17) (moving into a tie for fifth with Yachiru)
