Bleach: Episode 275

The fight between chibi Shiro and Harribel continues but it better be for not so much longer though. The same goes for Stark and Shunsui, both who hasn't showed their true potential yet. They just keep dragging the fights. I expect that fight to be epic because he's the number 1 espada after all.

Why so serious?

It is rather refreshing to hear that chibi shiro doesn't have the confidence to use his own power. I mean I know a lot of people who have such hatred for chibi shiro (like I have for Inoue). They keep telling me that he doesn't has what it got to be captain. Although I'm not really a fan of Toushiro, I think I can understand where he's coming from. He is still a baby compared to the others especially if you put him besides Ukitake or Shunsui. He is still learning and or in gayer term: blossoming. I think he can be developed further. If only Kubo realize this.

I'm not a fan of elemental zanpaktou either but I have to admit, Toushiro's Hyoten Hyakkaso is a pretty impressive power to have. Turning the snowflake to flowery ice? Pretty! Was it effective against a third level espada though? I don't think so. I'm sure it is not the end for Harribel yet.

Next up to get raped are Soifon and her useless fukutaicho. I feel sorry for her. Not even half time yet and she has ended up with broken bones on her left arm which rendered it useless. Her fukutaicho is someone she can't rely on. I mean Renji will be much more useful at time like this and that is saying something.


She is up against someone who can manipulate time. Time itself is a powerful power. Soi Fon is already in her shikai but to be able to use her shikai power, she needs to get up close and personal with her opponent. Something that she couldn't afford to do with Barragan. So yeah, her shikai is totally useless atm.

And the truth is, in the manga, Barragan has transformed even before Toushiro defeated Harribel. I dunno why they want to delay the ressurecion though. Probably for more impact to the non-manga readers.


I gotta to say, when his ressurecion got animated, it was more funny than being forbidding. Probably the purple. Yeah, definitely the purple.

But his power-up definitely is forbidding. Soi Fon has already a broken arm. Now she has to cut it off because it was being corroded by life itself. Heh.

To be honest, this fight was one of the most boring fight I read in the manga because I don't like either Soi Fon or Barragan. But I guess the production team has done quite a good job animated it because it turned out rather interesting.

And that's it for this week.

oh btw, the omake was totally hilarious! Gin and Aizen is having tea thanks to the cold weather brought by Toushiro XD
