Overview:
Nemu ignores Mayuri’s orders by intervening in his battle against Pernida.
Our Take(Spoilers):
I’ve seen some messed-up things while watching anime, but seeing Nemu explode into tiny bits and then having to watch as Pernida eats those tiny bits has to be near the top. I don’t remember much about Nemu, I’ll be honest. Some characters look pretty similar to others, and Nemu, I think, is one of those. But this episode puts her front and center and I have to admit that I didn’t think it would bother me to see her die but it was especially sad because it was one of the few things I’ve seen that made Mayuri sad for once.
This battle did a lot for my opinion of Mayuri because just as he was surprised at how much others were thanking him, I was surprised that he was doing things to be thanked for. I was personally thankful that he helped heal Rangiku and Hitsugaya from their zombie affliction. Now I hope that we get to see them go all out in a fight soon because I’ve missed seeing them in action. The last time we saw Hitsugaya go all out was especially awesome.
