Bleach 1.09

Unbeatable Enemy

Ichigo recognizes the Grand Fisher, the Hollow who has captured Yuzu and Karin. It is the same Hollow who killed their mother six years before. Ichigo gets first Yuzu and then Karin free from the grips of the Grand Fisher.

Eikichirō Saidō tries to help and gets knocked out. Rukia tries to help but her magic is still too weak. Ichicgo takes on the Grand Fisher by himself. Rukia accepts that Ichigo needs to fight this Hollow by himself.

Thoughts

This was an okay episode. It's not a favorite of mine. It was a little too serious but lacking in substance. It was all about Ichigo wanting to avenge his mother's murder. He somehow manages to strike a heavy enough blow to cause the Grand Fisher to run off but it didn't exactly feel earned. I expected more from an episode with a title like this one has.

Inuyasha 1.15

Return of the Tragic Priestess, Kikyo

Kagome uses shards of the Shikon Jewel to try to prevent Urasue's magic from separating her soul from her body but it is too late. Kagome falls into a deep sleep as her soul leaves her body and reanimates Kikyo.

Kikyo attacks Inuyasha and accuses him of betraying her. He insists that he is innocent of harming her. Kikyo hits Inuyasha with an arrow that seems to kill him. Kikyo seems satisfied with Inuyasha's demise and Kagome's soul departs her body and returns to Kagome's body.
