BLEACH-THE MAN WHO HATES SHINIGAMIS-EPISODE 22-2 1/2 STARS

Yes, I’m back from my hiatus, and I’m ready to delve right on in there, so lets go……….In the last episode, that dumb Gidambo admits defeat and allows Ichigo and his buddies to go through the soul reaper gate….until Ichimaru shows up. Now I’m not the biggest Ichimaru fan, but I’m glad to see him arrive just in time to teach Gidambo some manners for being a weak fool.

After being sliced in the arm by Ichimaru, Ichigo steps in to save Gidambo from getting the biggest beat down of his life. Yourichi is kind of shocked to see a captain show up at the gate, and decides that Ichigo and co. aren’t strong enough to fight him. The thing is, how far did they think they were gonna get without running into a captain?

Now instead of Ichimaru just doing the right thing by beating Ichigo’s ass, he let’s him live by using his zampakto to slap him back behind the gate and then…………

It’s interesting how Ichimaru lets Ichigo live, wonder what that clown faced captain has up his sleeve?  Ew. I changed my mind, I really don’t want to know what he has up his sleeve, under his robe, or anything else. People from the Rucon District come out of hiding to greet Ichigo and the gang, but since no one really cares about them, don’t expect me to spend my valuable time talking about it.

Gidambo is still hurt from Ichimaru’s blow, so Orihime uses her power to patch him back up. That dumb broad, how in the hell did she get blessed with amazing powers? And speaking of that, isn’t it interesting how all of Ichigo’s friends have these superhuman abilities, but no one else does?

While in the Rucon District, Chad runs into the kid that was turned into a bird back in episode 4, and they have a nice little reunion. Now don’t get me wrong, any scene Chad is in is worth paying serious attention to, except for this one, so I’ll just say he and the kid chewed the rag for a while, and went their separate ways.

Later on, everyone gets together at this old dude’s house, while Yourichi tries to figure out a better way to get over the gate. Can somebody please tell me why Yourichi is so concerned with saving Rukia? I mean, is Rukia’s execution really any of her business? Ganju (aka West Rukon psychopath) crashes the party with his boar and friends, and immediately zooms in on Ichigo. Is he gonna kick Ichigo’s ass? Well, it looks like it, I’m just glad I have a ring size seat for all this exciting action that’s about to take place.

Ganju can’t stand Ichigo ’cause he’s a soul reaper, but someone needs to tell him that Ichigo is just a poser, and there’s no need to waste time fighting with that fool. But they both do indeed fight, with Ichigo surprisingly getting some good licks in. Eventually, he pulls out his own zampakto, but Ganju turns the ground into sand, and the zampakto sinks into it. Good, now we can see some real street fighting.

Even though Ichigo is nothing but a punk kid, he’s still able to hold his own against Ganju. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, if he can’t keep up with Ganju he shouldn’t be in the Soul Society, right? Ganju would like to take another swipe at Ichigo, but unfortunately it’s 9:00, and it’s time to go. But where is he going?
