Bleach - Episode 221
The Full Showdown!
Shinigami vs. Espada
Kyōraku and Stark dialog was very cool, like in the manga. It’s interesting how this two characters are so much alike. They also almost never show off and remain in the shadow, while at the same time giving the sensation that they are some of the strongest characters around.
The battles getting developed for now are Matsumoto, Sui Fong and Omaeda’s. Nothing much happens, although things don’t look very positive for Matsumoto. Sui Fong quickly takes care of Vega, or so she thinks for now, with a lot of style. Her releasing her sword, along with the sound and the "to be continued" art, was pretty cool. Would fit nicely as a wallpaper lol
Anyway, this episode was more about building up. The next one should take it more seriously and Omaeda and Sui Fong’s should end in the two next episodes. Matsumoto will be next after that.
Overall, nice episode, basically just setting everything up and took some time to do this. But it was needed, the next episodes should be more action packed and fast paced like the previous ones were. By the way, the new Zanpakutou guide can prove more interesting than the last "guides". Even if this one was about Kuchiki, which is one of the best known zanpakutou’s, it was hell funny lol
