Bleach Episode 108 - The Wailing Bount! The Last Clash


Well that wasn’t too bad an ending since they managed to involve Byakuya, Yoruichi, and hints of Hollow Ichigo. I guess Kariya wasn’t that strong since Ichigo was never forced to fully bring out his Hollow side. I do think it was a bit disappointing that Kariya just *poof* disappeared into a cloud of dust, but oh well. I did like Rukia’s speech comparing Kariya and Ichigo though, since it sort of tied everything together and explained why Ichigo had to be the one to stop Kariya. All I’m left to do now is wonder what would have happened if all of the captains had just decided to all gang up on Kariya at once. Something like that would likely never happen in a series like this, but it’s fun to think about.
Anyway, this more or less brings the Bount arc to a close since all the Bount that we know of are now dead. Next episode looks like it’ll be a regrouping and transition from this arc into the new arc, which appears to be starting with the introduction of a terrifying/dreadful transfer student in episode 110. Having said that, Bleach is off next week and will be returning on January 4th for episode 109, though that’s actually on a Thursday. They do not appear to be changing the air-date permanently, so Bleach should go back to Wednesday the following week.
