Now for all of you that either watch Bleach, or subscribe to my feed, you know that in episode 11, Uryu challenged Ichigo to a match, to see whose better, Quincys or Soul Reapers. This episode starts off with Ichigo wanting to know the rules of this duel,”Well Ichigo, here they are, rule #1, you allow yourself to get slapped around by Uryu for a couple of hours, and rule #2, if you’re still alive, you can go ahead and admit defeat, do you understand?”

“What, you don’t like my rules?” Apparently Uryu doesn’t either, as he has devised his own. Whoever kills the most hollows in 24 hours is the winner. Now Uryu has some kind of a coin that brings out the hollows, and the contest is on. Ichigo is pissed off, because he knows that a hollow can get away, and actually kill someone, and for once I agree with him. “Uryu, you’re a cool guy, but you’re being kind of stupid right now, unleashing a whole herd of hollows on the town like that, you and Ichigo better kill them all, or else.”

So they split up to go hollow hunting, but Ichigo is trying to stay close to his sister Karin, since hollows will attack those with the most spiritual powers first. “Yes hollows, please go after her, she’s a pain in the butt, and a total waste of a character.” Uryu thinks that Ichigo is completely blind to the fact that other people around him have spiritual powers also, like Orihime, but since nobody cares about her, we won’t tell Ichigo, and hopefully she’ll get attacked by a hollow, and that will be the end of her.

You know, I shouldn’t say that, I kind of like Orihime, its just that she can be stupid sometimes, and she’s always pokin’ her nose in someone else’s business, especially Ichigo’s. Okay, now back to the fight, Ichigo’s doing okay, owning all those hollows, and Uryu seems to be doing fine as well, but if I was Uryu, I’d sneak off to the movies, and let Ichigo fight all those hollows by himself. Then I’d mess up my clothes, and go find Ichigo when the 24 hours were up, and tell him I killed about 5,000 hollows, so I’m obviously the winner.

I don’t think Uryu is the cheatin’ type, so we’ll just leave that alone, and move on to my man Chad. You know Chad has spiritual powers also, right? Okay, so he’s hangin’ out with his friends, about to chow down at some hip restaurant, when all the sudden a hollow comes to join in. Chad can’t see the hollow clearly, so he runs away, trying to get the hollow to follow him, and not attack anyone else. Unfortunately Chad leads him to the playground where Karin and her friends are playing.

Good, now the hollow can pound her into the ground, and I can sit back and laugh. Well, you know Chad is not gonna let that happen, so now its Karin and Chad trying to escape the hollow, but it gets a lucky shot in there, and Chad is wounded a bit. Uh, oh, he’s having a flashback, so lets see what this is all about. Its Obuelo, scolding a younger Chad for beatin’ the crap out of somebody, don’t know who. Obuelo starts talking crap like, Whats the point of hitting someone if you hurt those who hurt you?

“Well that’s the whole point stupid, if someone hits you, you beat their ass, then break them in half, and the world is a happier place, didn’t you know that Obuelo?” Anyway, enough of the flashback. Now Chad is just lying there, beggin’ his dead relative to give him the power to own this hollow, and PRESTO! It’s SuperChad! Not only can Chad now see the hollow, but he’s got this awesome armor wrapped around his whole arm, and he uses it to spank hollow, and that’s the end of that.

Now I would like to tell you who won the 24 hour hollow contest between Ichigo, and Uryu, but unfortunately, that’s the end of this episode, and the end of the DVD, so you’ll just have to wait for me to rent the next one, which should be soon. Okay, what’s next on the anime list, Descendants of Darkness, more Melancholy Stuff, and for all you Naruto freaks, I haven’t forgotten about you, your guy will be coming up soon in the next 7 days, so be on the lookout.

This episode takes over where episode 10 left off, Ichigo and Spiritualist Don owned the hollow, but the gym teacher is not enthused, and gets pissed off at Ichigo and the gang. Remember, most people can’t see hollows, so Ichigo and Rukia looked like a couple of fools for interfering in Don’s business. So Ichigo and the gang are being scolded by gym teacher, but who in the hell is he, why is he stepping all up in their video? The parents don’t care, so dumb gym teacher needs to mind his own business.

Now Rukia puts on this dumb crybaby act in an attempt to get sympathy, and to let the others escape, which they do, and that’s that. Fast forward a couple of scenes, and it seems like Rukia is having problems with her soul pager (a device to detect hollows in the area), but she can’t get Urahara on the phone. Wait a minute, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME RUKIA HAS URAHARA’S PHONE NUMBER? That little rat! She’s been holding out on me all this time, that snake!

Okay, now let’s skip some more scenes, and get to the good stuff, we finally meet Uryu, a genius in the classroom, and in the home hand crafts club (don’t ask, you just have to see it). He’s also the last of the Quincys, a clan that existed long ago who were specialized in killing hollows. Oh yeah, did I tell you that they hate soul reapers? Uryu is cool, a bit arrogant, but I still like him better than Ichigo. Hell, I like everyone better than Ichigo, but Uryu is definitely one of my favorite Bleach characters.

Uryu sports a cool Qunicy outfit, but white is not a good color, since blood might splatter all over it while he’s owning a hollow. Uryu also has a cool weapon, a bow and arrow, no, he doesn’t carry it around with him, its magical, it appears when he needs it, and the disappears, its really cool. And then we have Ichigo opening his big ass mouth, talking crap about Uryu, saying he’d mop the floor with him, and asking who in the hell uses a bow and arrow anymore.

“SHUT UP ICHIGO! First of all his weapon is a hell of a lot better than that stupid sword of you swing around, and its not even yours, it belongs to Rukia!. I hope Uryu opens up a can of whoop-ass on you so you can learn some manners!” Unfortunately that’s not quite what Uryu has in mind. He challenges Ichigo to a contest, but you’ll just have to wait to the next episode to find out what it is!

You know, I was supposed to skip a lot of episodes so that I could get to the captains, but as you see I didn’t skip far enough. Oh well, too bad, let’s just start from here and hopefully I can watch and post Bleach episodes quickly, so we can get to the good stuff. Don’t worry, I won’t skip anymore episodes, so just relax.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Spiritualist Don Kanoge from the show Spirit Hunter is in the house!  It seems like everyone in town shows up at the abandoned hospital to see this guy, including Chad, Rukia, and the rest of Ichigo’s family and friends. Now Ichigo who thinks he is so mature, cops an attitude, but tags along anyway, even though he thinks everyone is crazy and stupid for liking this guy.

This episode is so-so, I really don’t like Spiritualist Don because he reminds me a lot of Ichigo, arrogant, and annoying. Thank goodness this guy is only in one episode, ’cause I don’t think I could put up with him much longer. Not only that, but spiritualist Don ends up being an incompetent jerk for breaking the chain in a spirit, which then becomes a hollow. Ichigo tries to stop him, but is temporarily restrained by security, and guess who shows up to help out, yes its Urahara, also known as Mr. Hat and Clogs!

You know what, since this episode is kind of boring, I’m gonna liven it up a bit and talk about my main man, Urahara Kisuke……………….

I think he’s should be on every ladies’ eligible bachelors list. Look at all Urahara has going for him. First of all he’s fine as hell, so expect great sex every night, at least for the next couple of years. Next, he owns a store so you know he’s got a good income coming in. Third, he founded the Shinigami Research Institute, so you know you’re not going out with some dumb-ass.

Lastly, he’s a former captain, so you know he can kick some major butt, just in case you mouth off to the wrong person or hollow and end up in a fight. Yes, he’s the perfect man!!!!! Oh wait, one more thing ladies, hopefully you have some sense of style, ’cause you’re gonna have to help Urahara with his wardrobe for a while. Just take him to Abercrombie and Fitch, The Gap, and Hollister, and after 6 months, he’ll probably be able to dress himself. Okay, enough of that.

Anyway Urahara knocks Ichigo out of his body, then he and spiritualist Don team up to defeat the hollow, which of course they do, and that’s that. Well, see you guys later, I’m gonna see if I can find someone who knows Urahara so they can hook me up, Bye!
