Bleach episode 356 review
Jinto turns evil in this episode, with Ichigo and him inside the video game training. He starts slashing Ichigo up like Freddy Krueger. He didn’t take a flamethrower and barbecue Orihime, but he did try to break down her barrier as she tried to heal Ichigo. Then he goes mad and supposedly becomes a villain. In the end, it’s all a ploy. He’s just trying to get Ichigo to awaken his powers, and by turning “evil” he managed to do so.
Meanwhile, Riruka is busy being jealous of Orihime. Not of her second-place status on the “best girl” list, but presumably of her relationship with Ichigo. She creates just enough buzz to save us from the bizarro Jinto who turns evil for a 15-minute time period. Overall, not a great episode, but at least we’re one step closer to Ichigo ending his Ich-emo days.
Best girl of the episode: Orihime (54) (too little, too late)
Episode rating: 5/10
