Bleach 564: Red Bristled Kings



Zach Goodier

Bleach is rolling, once again.  We finally get to see Renji's new bankai in action, as well as the climax of the fight with the Superstar.  Renji's zanpakuto withheld its full bankai name, apparently, and that's why Renji can have a new one.  While I like the new bankai, it's an awkward leap to say a zanpakuto can use a bankai without actually using its own bankai.  While this has been somewhat established with Yumichika from squad 11, it appears a bit of a stretch that a bankai could actually deceive its soul reaper the way Renji's allegedly did.

Regardless, the action is awesome, and the end of the fight is a major relief, so that we can finally move the story along.  It was a good fight, though, with the tide switching back and forth enough to stay interesting, even if this fight was pretty much over the moment Renji stepped onto the battlefield.  We'll just have to wait until next week to see what's next in store.
