One of the shortest fights in all of Bleach next to Giriko vs. Kenpachi, Dordoni vs. Ichigo, & Jirobo vs. Uryu is the fight between Jackie Tristan & Renji Abarai. After the whole full-scale war between the Shinigami & Espada, Jackie is not even on par with Aizen's forces and thus Renji was able to peacefully do way with Jackie without having to resort to killing her. Of course the question that probably is on everyone's mind is ~ What was the point of Jackie? Well, like I said previously, I found the Fullbringer arc to be both a filler & a set-up for the remaining Xcution forces to fight against the Wandenreich. So does that mean Jackie will fight? Well, Xcution didn't interest me as much and everyone's backstory is cliche by all means ~ power, loss of a love one, & gratification of self-indulgence are elements that define them. Jackie's power didn't interest me as much as Renji easily beating her was like a big middle finger to Jackie's character. Renji just fought Aizen ~ Jackie isn't anywhere near his league. Renji's growth stems from his growing relationship with the main characters just like many of Bleach's characters. Although Jackie, at times, is hot & she does have okay BEEWBZ, it doesn't change the fact that she clearly was no match for Renji. In this case, Dirty & Mud were no match for Monkey & Snake. However, I wonder if Jackie (and possibly Riruka & Yukio) will return....who knows.
I hope you enjoyed this brief Throwback. Look forward to Throwbacks every Friday. Until then, you all stay classy now.
