Bleach episode 364 review

Byakuya fights Tsukishima, which ends in the most ho-hum, been-there-seen-that way. There’s a whole long discourse on how Byakuya’s Zanpakuto works and that, because he knows how it works, Tsukishima can render it useless. But then Byakuya does the tried-and-true method of attacking himself, and that does the trick. Really, how many times can this possibly be used, and not by Bleach but in general? It’s always the way of solving something when there is no other solution. Just attack yourself, and eventually it’ll pay off.
Meanwhile, Riruka and Rukia fight in the land of giant stuffed animals. Eventually, Rukia gets turned into a stuffed animal. Then Riruka tells Rukia big long sad flashback, which would usually spell doom to the character giving it, except that Riruka’s a female character, and Kubo doesn’t kill off female characters.
What a bore most of this episode was. It had such great promise, too.
