Bleach episode 312 review
“Does it amuse you to think of me living out the rest of my life as a dreary man in a tedious job?”
That’s what Marechiyo Omaeda has: a tedious job. But when he helps out some random kids in the Rukon District, he fibs and tells them that he’s a Captain. That of course backfires, because the kids make their way to the Seireitei and want to meet their Captain hero. As you’d expect, that leads to a bunch of humor, and then a sad moment when the kids learned the hard way “never meet your heroes,” but it at least ends on a positive note…
…at which point Soi Fon goes and kicks Omaeda’s ass at Yoruichi’s request.
It may have been a filler episode, and a very fillery filler episode at that. But watching Omaeda’s lie get bigger and bigger was a fun exercise. By the time it was over, you knew that Soi Fon was going to have it in for him. You know, didn’t I say earlier that I no longer shipped him and Soi Fon? Check that, I’m shipping them again.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (31) (pretty much wrapping up fourth place)
Episode rating: 8/10
