Bleach Episode 191
Posted by webmaster on October 22, 2008The Frightening Banquet, Szayel Aporro Theatre – Bleach 191 Review
Bleach episode 191 gets the Hueco Mundo story arc racing along once again with two simultaneous fights: Ichigo vs. Nnoitra and Ishida, Renji, Pesche and Dondochakka vs. Szayel Aporro.
While the Bleach anime is packed with awesomely ferocious fights, Szayel stands out in Bleach 191 as an adversary to be reckoned with. As brilliant as he is barbaric, Szayel has studied each of his adversaries’ techniques and abilities in order to expertly deflect their attacks. When his calculations turn out to be a little off, Szayel actually EATS one of his underlings in order to heal himself. Mayuri Kurotsuchi has a serious rival for the title of Bleach’s resident Evil Genius!
Healing abilities and tailored counterattacks would be challenge enough, but when Szayel releases his Zanpakutō by swallowing it (is there anything this guy won’t eat?), he changes form and splatters his opponents with liquid. The goo develops into a copy of whatever it touches, resulting in clones of Ishida, Renji, and the Fraccións which can use their own powers against them.
Meanwhile, the Ichigo/Nnoitra showdown is underway as Inoue looks on, held captive by Nnoitra’s Fracción, Tesla. A slip by Inoue helps Tesla to blast Nel out of her hiding place, and for the moment she becomes more interesting to Nnoitra than the fight. He has a revelation about Nel’s past, and if the Bleach 192 preview is any indication, history is about to shake up the present. Watch Bleach online for the latest episodes and hottest discussion!
