‘Taking advantage of another’s weakness is an established tactic, isn’t it?’Ryo Utagawa We’ve never seen Ishida like this… a sitting duck, and basically helpless… or is he? Much like Ichigo, he’s pretty self-assured most of the time, never the coward, and cannot idly sit by and watch one-sided situations where someone is being cruelly takenContinueContinue reading “Bleach Recap 2020, Episode 71: The Bounts – An Existential Threat?”

When will Ririn’s silly games ever stop?
