Bleach episode 327 review
Soi Fon beats the crap out of Komamura. Too bad it’s the fake Soi Fon. I can still cheer for her, can’t I, even though it’s not really her? Pretty please?
Byakuya fights himself the same way a chess player would play Petrov’s Defense. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nxe4 etc. Everything about him and his fake’s attacks go exactly the same as each other, so there’s no way of telling who is going to gain an inch. Meanwhile, the one-armed wonder Old Man Yama is still fighting off fake Shunsui.
And Ichigo has been summoned to an area by Kageroza where no one can sense his spiritual pressure. Instead of panicking or going off looking for him, the characters basically say that there’s no way he could die in a filler arc so we’re not worrying about him. Nozomi seems to be the one who’s the most worried, even though she’s known Ichigo for about 12 minutes.
And that’s another jumbled mess of an episode of this arc. Not very satisfying, and to be quite frank, the battles are getting old by now. The novelty of Soul Reapers fighting themselves has worn off. Something must be done to regain a spark.
Best girl of the episode: Soi Fon (32) (like Momo last episode, even the fake one is good enough for me)
