BLEACH 290 REVIEW

Komamura vs Tosen and the tease of Shinji vs Aizen.

TOSEN WHEN HE LOOKS COOL

Komamura takes the fight to his old friend Tosen and the fight is vicious. Komamura tries to reason with Tosen and unravel his motivations for betrayal.

YOUNGER TOSEN

True anime form we get a series of flashbacks. First we learn how Komamura and Tosen met and how their 'friendship' developed. It was touching memory and Tosen seems likable at this stage.

TOSEN'S LOVE

TOSEN'S DEAD LOVE AND HER SWORD

We then learn of Tosen's true reason for becoming a Shinigami. Revenge! All of his friendships were a sham and he is really an asshole. So no sympathy for him from my camp at all. Also the woman he loved, really didn't love him. He was her listening post and serious I bet she thought he was gay! She ran off to become a Shinigami and get married. Her husband killed her ass for stepping out of line and Tosen gets all bitchy against Shinigami for some puntang that he was never going to get in the first place. Dumbass!

THEN THE IDIOT GOT EYES

Part of what made Tosen cool and such a threat has been his lack of sight. He was blind but could see better than anyone around him. So the idiot got fed up and did his fancy Arrancar resurrection and boy is it one of the ugliest things I have seen. How can one move from looking so cool to being a giant hairy cricket? Then to add insult to injury the mutha humper got eyes so now he can see. IDIOT! This takes away what made him strong and just made him damn ugly.

TOSEN GETTING CARRIED AWAY WITH HIS NEW EYES

He also makes things worse and tells poor Komamura that he is uglier than he could imagine. The giant hairy cricket is calling someone ugly? Boy you need to get a mirror and look at your damn self. Tosen is ugly on the inside and the outside.

Next up we get a little unfriendly bantering between Aizen and Shinji Hirako. Shinji admits that he was always weary of Aizen and made sure to never let him see his Zanpakuto Sakanade.

So we get a little taste of whats to come. Next week will be on step closer to the demise of Tosen. I liked him at first but now he just needs to die. I am looking forward to seeing Shinji tackle Aizen even though he will lose.

This was a great episode 9/10
