Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ BLEACH #153]

I really enjoyed this episode much more than the previous two for various reasons. The main one being that Cirucci finally makes her debut fighting against Ishida. I felt butterflies for one reason or another when I heard her voice and knew that it was Kuwashima Houko who is also current voicing Miya Miya in Bamboo Blade and Tomoyo in CLANNAD. She fits the role perfectly if you ask me. ^__^ Their battle is more exciting animated than it was in manga form from what I can recall. I do remember that I was cheering for Cirucci though because she’s just that awesome and, well, Ishida isn’t exactly a favorite of mine. Also, I could not help but laugh at the very end of the episode when Rukia was faced with Kaien being an Espada. Ah yes, I can remember that moment in the manga so clearly. Everyone was up in arms at him being an Espada and were desperate for explanations. The next few episodes are going to be really fun.
