English Dub Review: Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War “Marching Out the Zombies 2”

Overview:

Ikkaku, Yumichika, and the Arrancars work together to fight off Giselle’s zombies. But the group is shocked when Giselle reveals her next pawn, who is none other than Captain Hitsugaya of Squad 10.

Our Take:

The first half of this episode was pure, typical Bleach awesomeness. I’ll be the first to say that I’m not the biggest fan of Kurotsuchi as a character but seeing him help take down Giselle was badass. There was even a Groundhog Day situation with Hitsugaya that was pretty sweet. My biggest concern with some of the captains being zombies is that I’m worried they won’t come back to normal but I think Kurotsuchi will get them fixed up.

Now the second half of the episode happened, Byakuya did badass things taking out three Sternritters on his own but then PePe showed up. This dude weaponized love and for the most part, it would have been an interesting concept but seeing a grown man in a diaper wasn’t something I was expecting. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve seen in the Bleach series but it was a bit odd. I was glad he got what was coming to him at the end of the episode.
