Remember the Bount Arc in Bleach? As I've said before, it's my least favorite arc because I didn't find it interesting, lacked the fight scenes, and wasn't a big fan of the enemies. However, a chemistry between Uryu & the creator of the Bounts is what caught my eye. Uryu was close to Ran'Tao's clone, Yoshino Soma. The only time you see Uryu get attached to the opposite sex just happens to be when he's faced against an enemy. Yoshino showed sympathy when she saved Uryu and went so far as to tell him her life story. I think at the time Uryu genuinely cared/started to like Yoshino. Understanding an enemy is something heroes don't usually think about, but at this moment ~ Uryu was divided ~ help out the very enemy that he came to loathe (Shinigami) or help out the very enemy that he knows little about (Bount). Ran'Tao's resemblance to Yoshino only shows how far Uryu is willing to go for Yoshino/Ran'Tao. Uryu is the smartest of Team Kurosaki and knows that Ran'Tao's creations aren't 100% bad, but their motivations are. Uryu's predicament with Yhwach questions fans on whether he's following him on his own accord or to later defect in order to aid Ichigo against the Wandenreich. Whatever the case may be, Uryu understanding the enemy & attachment to Yoshino/Ran'Tao are, to me, the highlights of the Bount Arc.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback. Look forward to Throwbacks on Fridays. Until then, you all stay classy now
