Bleach 365: The real villain is… Ukitake?

Bleach episode 365 review

So, everyone has won their battles against the Xcution, but it’s left open-ended whether their opponents actually died or not. The video game guy gets frozen and taken by Toshiro, and the other ones may or may not have died, which of course means they’re still alive (except for Tsukishima – he was clearly evil, so he is clearly dead). Meanwhile, the battle between Ichigo and Ginjo rages.

Ginjo then tells Ichigo the secret of his Combat Badge – that it’s actually a surveillance device created by, of all people, Squad 13 Captain Jushiro Ukitake. So he’s the real villain, I guess. He wanted to spy on Ichigo for all this time, and apparently that’s why he gave him that pass.

But Ichigo doesn’t fall for this nonsense. I mean, sure, it’s true, Ukitake did do that. But Ichigo sees right through Ginjo and realizes he’s still the bad guy. So, the two of them keep fighting, with the Quincy Uryu standing around and doing next to nothing.

We are one episode away from the end of this experiment. Was it worth it? Yeah.

Best girl of the episode: Rukia (68) (apparently she defeated Riruka off-screen, which is par for the course for this arc)

Episode rating: 7/10
