Mysterylover watches Bleach episodes 215-216 “Angtsy-Sexy Hero/Villain Vibes”
1. NEW OP!!! OMG FINALLY. IT FEELS LIKEI T’S BEEN FOREVER.
2. The main highlights of this one are lots of Orihime and Rukia dancing. I’m going to assume they will indeed be forming a Charlie’s Angels style team with Rangiku in this arc.
3. ULQUIORRA’S BACK!! OMG I MISSED YOU YOU ASSHOLE. MORE ANGSTY VILLAIN SHENANIGANS AHOY!
4. We open again with Aizen and Co squaring off against the old guys. I wonder how long before we learn that this was All According to Aizen’s Keikaku.
5. He just. Stares sexily at them for like forever. Damn I see why all his underlings follow him. Can’t deny dude’s got charisma.
6. Old Dude proceeds to envelop Aizen in a Ring of Fire. And of course he and Gin are fine. He looks even hotter surrounded by a wall of flames. (His power’s in his sexiness, you fools! You’ve only made him stronger!)
7. BACK WITH ULQUIORRA AND ORIHIME OMG. You gonna slap him again Hime?
7. “You’re gonna die you scared?” “Nah bitch I’m Orihime Fucking Inoue and my friends came to save me of course I’m not scared.
8. My RukiHime heart explodes when she gushes over “Kuchiki-san coming to save her”. Anyway the gist of it is she gives Ulqui the Shonen Power of Friendship speech and it’s awesome.
9. Ichigo is apparently annoyed that Hime is stealing his main character status and rushing to try and reclaim it.
10. As if to illustrate my point, he runs into a bunch of lame side villains and gets sidetracked immediately while Hime squares off with the 2nd Final Boss. Fortunately the rest of the crew show up to save him.
11. “WHAT IS FEELINGS” says Ulqui. And reaches out to touch Hime’s chest and eyes. Yep, definite hero/villain subtext vibes here.
12. DAMMIT ICHI DON’T INTERRUPT THAT WAS A COOL CONVERSATION.
13. Ichigo opens 216 clearly intent on reclaiming his Main Character status by squareing off with Ulqui. They give each other the Shonen “worthy opponent” speeches and all, and immediately blow up the building. Because Shonen.
14. Back to the Ring of Fire, we squabble a bit with the squad captains before they talk plans. I’m just gonna assume whatever they do is All According to Aizen’s Keikaku and won’t work.
15. The long and short of the rest of the ep is that each of the Squad Captains is given a villain to fight. Guys it’s not that I hate you or anything but ICHIGO VS ULQUIORRA WE NEED TO CUT BACK TO THAT NOW.
16. Anyway NEW ED and it’s RUKIA FOCUSED. It’s really pretty and includes supporting cast cameos, + some Tatsuhime crumbs. Been way too long since we saw them.
17. For the record this post was originally longer but tumblr swallowed my first draft so I had to retype it from memory.
