Bleach episode 317 review
This episode was so confusing to keep up with what was going on. Apparently there’s some big problem in the Soul Society, but no one wants to talk about what that actually is. Mayuri and Kenpachi both get put in charge of the plan, which is… well, what is it? It’s something about something about… yeah, I got nothing.
Then we’ve got Ichigo and Rukia running from “The Cleaner” which was supposed to have been gone thanks to Aizen, but now is back so it forces Ichigo to use his Bankai and thus inch closer to losing his Soul Reaper powers. But before he can, he shows up in the Soul Society, where about 59 Soul Reapers including Toshiro and Byakuya choose to put him in jail for doing something bad. The only problem? We don’t even know what that bad thing is. It’s essentially an excuse for making Ichigo this arc’s “damsel in distress.”
Best girl of the episode: Nanao (9) (she had some screen time before we got obsessed with capturing the ultra-evil Ichigo) (Rukia magic # down to 26)
Episode rating: 5/10
