Bleach 595: Rub-Dolls II

Zach Goodier




Byakuya is being backed into a corner.  Not only does he have a new Sternritter opponent, but now he also has to face a fellow Soul Reaper, Shuhei, who is twisted by the power of Pepe's "love."  However, things become even more dire when Senbonzakura is possessed by Pepe's power, turning zanpakuto against Soul Reaper.  Just when Byakuya appears finished, Pepe is attacked from out of nowhere... by Rose and Kensei?!?!

This chapter really felt short, and in terms of story, it was.  Basically, other than the brief skirmishes, not much goes on until near the end.  Pepe explains the nature of his power, because all villains in anime must explain their powers to their enemies.  Then, the only real development was when Pepe was attacked by Rose and Kensei.  They appear to have been hijacked somehow, judging by the markings on their faces.  I believe they're still "zombies," but Kurotsuchi likely took over control of their bodies somehow.  While they obviously don't look cured, it would likely be simple for Kurotsuchi to restore them once they went back to his lab.  Right now, this development could likely turn this battle around, and lead to a late upset in terms of how the war turns out within Soul Society, but we still have Juha Bach to contend with.
