This episode opens up with my main man Chad, and two other guys sitting in front of a caged cockatiel which happens to bring bad luck to anyone who has it. Now one of the guys tries to pass it on to Chad, saying that he has a weakness for cute things. Oh Really? “HEY CHAD, over here buddy! Come take a look at me, I’m cute, what do you think?” Anyway, Chad decides to take the bird, then a steel beam falls on his head, Uh oh, what next?

Remember, Chad is build like a ton of bricks, so there aren’t too many things that’s gonna hurt him, but there’s only so much he can take. All the sudden, the bird starts talking, but its anime for Pete’s Sake, and we’re used to that, so lets go to the next scene where Rukia meets more of Ichigo’s stupid friends. Then Chad comes to school, carrying the bird, “Okay Chad, you’re scaring me a little bit. You’re supposed to take the bird home before you go to school, or are you afraid that your house might burn down while you’re gone?

“Oh, I see, you’re trying to burn down the school, okay, I guess I’m all for that then.” Chad goes into the story of how a steel beam fell on his head, and how he was hit by a motorcycle. “Okay Chad, you know there’s something going on with that bird, so just ditch it. Or, better yet, give it to the math teacher, so he/she can be out for a whole month with the stomach flu, and you can spend the whole class period watching movies with the sub.”

Then, Ichigo tells Rukia the story of how she met Chad back in 8th grade, now this is a good scene to watch, because you get a chance to see Ichigo getting his butt whipped by a bunch of guys. Now Chad comes along, and……”Hey, somebody get GQ magazine on the phone right now, they need to come take a look at this hot guy standing there in his cool looking suit, about to own these hoodlums!” Now those punks try to take Chad down, but remember, he’s built like a rock, so he’s just standing there, watching those guys make complete fools out of themselves.

Ok, enough of that flashback. After Ichigo finishes his story about Chad, Rukia has the nerve to say Chad is an odd one. “Rukia, YOU BETTER SHUT THAT BIG TRAP OF YOURS! If anyone is a complete weirdo around here, its you! You don’t even know how to open a damn juice box, and your fighting skills suck, so you better stop talking about Chad, and look at yourself!”

All right, next scene, Ichigo is at his dad’s clinic, and dad is pretty busy. Its nice to know that he actually takes his job seriously, last thing we need is to have patients dying in his clinic because hes trying to body slam them against a wall or somethin’. Now Chad comes into the clinic, a total mess, still carrying that hexed bird. Dad takes Chad’s shirt off, and (stripper music playing in background)……….sorry, I had to throw that in there. Actually, Chad is hurt pretty bad, he’s got this huge burn on his back, and falls to the ground.

“Well Chad, looks like you’ll be staying overnight at the clinic, but I’m telling you, get rid of that damn bird!” The next day Chad disappears from the clinic, with the bird, because a hollow is hot on their trail. Ichigo decides to chase after Chad, when one of his stupid sisters, get involved, and messes up the end of the episode. Now Ichigo has to take her butt back home, while Rukia goes after Chad. Well Chad, you’re in a lot of trouble now if you’re depending on Rukia to save you. She tries another lame spell on the hollow, while it sits there, doing it’s nails. Well, not really, but it might as well have. Now Chad has to come to Rukia’s rescue, but that’s the end of that episode, to be concluded on the next DVD.

Sorry guys, I won’t be reviewing the Bleach DVD following this one, what I’m going to do is skip a bunch of episodes, and get to the really good stuff, when Rukia is hauled back to the soul society to be executed, and Ichigo goes into training to save her. These episodes are good, because I get to see Mr. Hat and Clogs, and I can also witness Ichigo getting his butt kicked on a daily basis. I will also being reviewing the episodes when he enters the Soul Society, so that I can run down all the captains to you. Some are awesome, some are OK, and there are a few I could care less about, and a couple that I absolutely can’t stand. Do you have any idea who they may be?

That’s for later, because next, I’m going to get into some Mushishi, more Hellsing, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, so be there or be square! I know, that sounds so lame, does anyone even say that anymore?
