I think there are at least a few similarities between Soi Fon and Momo Hinamori. One of them is their appearance. When I first saw Soi Fon in the opening and a full episode (Episode 51) of the anime, I thought that she was Momo. Then, I did a compare and contrast of their facial features and saw that Momo has bigger eyes than Soi Fon. Also, Soi Fon has gray eyes while Momo’s are brown. Both do have black hair and parts of it are covered with white cloth. However, Soi Fon’s is worn short, tied in two long pigtail braids covered in white cloth, with each ending in a golden ring, while Momo’s is pulled into a bun covered by a white cloth.

Here’s a fun fact for you: In the English Dub, both Soi Fon and Momo are voiced by the same voice actress (Karen Strassman). Finally, another similarity they share is that they were emotionally, mentally, physically, and/or spiritually “betrayed” by a mentor figure that they thought very highly of and looked up to as a major influence in their lives. Soi Fon was “betrayed” by Yoruichi Shihoin over 100 years ago, whom she always called “Lady Yoruichi” or “Yoruichi-San”. At least they made up and became a formidable duo once again (even if Yoruichi does have Soi Fon wrapped around her finger). Momo was “betrayed” by Sosuke Aizen, whom she always called “Captain Aizen”. They never made up as Aizen was truly evil and it left Momo visibly hurt as well as upset, especially when he stabbed her in Episode 60 after Momo learned Aizen’s dark secret.

In conclusion, I think if these two ever have a moment alone together, they would become good friends and truly bond because of the similarities that they share with each other. Anyway, enough out of me. What do you think, fellow Bleach and Soi Fon fans? Could Soi Fon and Momo Hinamori become good friends and truly bond because of the similarities that they share with each other? Please reply below.
