‘You won, you idiot.’Kenpachi Ichigo vs. Kenpachi – The Aftermath It seems we got a bit of a fake-out at the end of the last episode; we see that Ichigo is so severely wounded that he falls to the ground, unconscious. What we aren’t shown is that Kenpachi looks to be in equally bad shape,ContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 40 – The Nameless”

Bleach Recap 2020, Episode 39 – The Battle Within
It’s not very often that Zangetsu, the manifestation of Ichigo’s zanpakuto, arrives to reveal himself to his user, but when he does, we know that the situation is dire, and that something significant is about to pop off. In short, he makes his appearances count, and it makes perfect sense that he would arrive now,ContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Episode 39 – The Battle Within”
Bleach Recap 2020, Episode 38 – A One-Sided Battle
‘Are you prepared to die? Or have you just given up?’Kenpachi Zaraki Welcome to the Episode 38 Recap! There is more than one battle to wrap up here, and none of them is unfolding to the advantage of our protagonists. For starters… Ichigo’s new tactic: Run like hell It’s not very often we see theContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Episode 38 – A One-Sided Battle”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 37 – Chad and Ichigo’s Promise
’Sorry, but I don’t have time for your skit.’Chad So we get a battle this episode, just not the one we expected. Even with the long-awaited Ichigo/Kenpachi confrontation now starting to heat up, it’s been a long time we’ve had a Chad-centered episode, so it’s all good. Just about everyone on the rescue team, fromContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 37 – Chad and Ichigo’s Promise”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 36 – Kenpachi’s Intent to Kill
‘At least let me get the rust off of this thing, won’t you?’Kenpachi Zaraki Episode 36 is essentially a prelude to the long-awaited face-off between Ichgio and Kenpachi. But before getting straight to the action, a couple plot points are dealt with off the bat, the most significant being the Shinigami’s reaction to Captain Aizen’sContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 36 – Kenpachi’s Intent to Kill”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 35 – The Aftermath of Murder, and Escalating Tensions
Welcome to the Episode 35 Recap! Most of the action happens early on in this one, with the rest being setup for some more engaging conflict to come. Even before the shocking murder of Aizen, the Shinigami very much felt like a house divided, but in the wake of this horrific event, things are aboutContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 35 – The Aftermath of Murder, and Escalating Tensions”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 34 – Murder In The Seireitei
This episode, we return to the Seireitei, where the Ichigo/Renji battle is effectively over, and both combatants are a little worse for the wear. Ichigo won this one, but nevertheless, both of them collapse due to their injuries. Shinigami are on their way to the scene, so Ganju quickly grabs an unconscious Ichigo, and heContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 34 – Murder In The Seireitei”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 33 – Save The Cat
So, the fillers have officially begun (I know, I can’t contain my excitement either). I’ve been wondering, when they would inevitably begin to pour in, how I would handle frivolous side-stories that I don’t particularly care for, and I guess the best answer for this is just what I’ve been trying to do so far:ContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 33 – Save The Cat”
Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 32 – Humble beginnings and a hopeful ending
‘When she left, I was the one who didn’t go after her.’ Happy February, everyone! As I reflect on my first month covering this series, it’s only apt that this episode itself is an extended flashback, as a thoroughly defeated Renji reflects on his long past with Rukia, a past that goes way back toContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Ep. 32 – Humble beginnings and a hopeful ending”
