Kenpachi Zaraki Approaches!

Tenth Squad Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto visits Fifth Squad Lieutenant Momo Hinamori while she sits in her jail cell.

Momo starts to read the note after Rangiku leaves.

Ichigo, Ganju, and Hanataro are overwhelmed by the spiritual pressure they feel. They try running from it but it gets them nowhere and merely exhausts them. Ichigo stops when he hears someone calling to him, Eleventh Squad Captain Kenpachi Zaraki. He looks up and sees Zaraki. He turns to Ganju and tells him to get out of there with Hanataro and go find Rukia, so that they can rescue her.

Thoughts

Colonel Hall wasn't in this episode. Most of the other regulars on this show only showed up very briefly at the beginning and end of this episode.

This was a fun episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Bilko at his best.

Thoughts

This is a weird episode. I'm not sure what to make of it. I laughed a few times but I wouldn't call it a favorite or even say that it is an upper tier episode.
