Bleach 318: Brainwashed

Bleach episode 318 review

In this episode, we find out why everyone’s after Ichigo: they’ve had false gigais attached to them and now basically have their brains controlled by this evil force. They’re also stronger than they usually are, because if they weren’t, Ichigo would beat them with ease. Yoruichi explains everything, but not until after this charade of the Captains using Ichigo’s broken combat pass as somehow “proof” of his guilt… of doing what? Again, they aren’t telling us what the crime is. They’re just saying that Ichigo’s guilty. That’s great. What did he actually do?

This arc has the makings of being one of the worst in Bleach history. This is a very, very bad start. At least Rukia did herself a favor by being heavily featured in this episode, and that magic # shrinks quicker.

Best girl of the episode: Rukia (60) (magic # at 24)

Episode rating: 4/10
