Thoughts

There really wasn't enough to this episode for me to care one way or another how it ended. It was okay but like most of the other episodes of this show it left me shrugging my shoulders.

Bleach 28 / 2.08

Orihime Targeted

Ganju pulls off enough tricks to defeat Yumichika Ayasegawa. Ichigo looks for Gangju without success. Orihime and Uryū battle a very large Shinnigami, Jirōbō Ikkanzaka. He seems to have the advantage at first but Uryū quickly proves that he is the superior warrior. Hanatarō tries to get into the tower to see Rukia but the guards won't let him. She continues to languish in the tower.

Thoughts

There are brief glimpses of Chad and Yoruichi but not much more than that. Ichigo spends most of the episode running around looking for Ganju and and fighting low level Shinnigami.

This was an okay episode. I liked the fight between Ganju and Ayasegawa but the other fight didn't pull me in quite so much. It all happened too fast.
