One of the most notable throwbacks in Bleach is Ichigo, Uryu, & Chad's entering of Hueco Mundo in order to save their beloved friend ~ Orihime Inoue. Much like how Team Ichigo entered the Seiretei to save Rukia, they are treated as mere Ryoka and are a threat to the main antagonist & his underlings ~ Aizen Sousuke & the Espada. Relentlessly training, these 3 have poured all of their courage, strength, and patience in order to test their abilities against Espada, said to be the best of the best and their strength is either on par or surpasses Captain-level Shinigami. Ichigo managed to fight on par against the likes of Grimmjow & Ulquiorra whereas Uryu, alongside Renji & Mayuri, did away with Szayelaporro. And then there's Chad...who got his ass handed to him by Nnoitra after he just got out of defeating Privaron Espada, Gantenbainne. To be perfectly honest, I don't hate Chad ~ I find him to be a really laid-back character, loyal, and just a all around good guy. However, in terms of strength & abilities ~ it wasn't enough against a real Espada. Like I said previously, Chad, when it comes to team Ichigo, is the weakest and though his abilities are impressive, he isn't fully utilized in the storyline unlike Uryu or Orihime (who have had more appearances). So their arrival in Hueco Mundo is to be expected, but Aizen forewarns his Espada that they needn't worry about it....yet. Aizen sees them as a threat, but not enough to duck & cover. Aizen sees it as a game of chess ~ one move at a time. Knowing this, the 3 willingly put their lives on the line in order to rescue Orihime and, like most good guys, they eventually come out alive as they saved the day.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback. Look forward to Throwbacks every Friday. Until then, you all stay classy and I'll see you all Tuesday for the weekly Affinity post (
