Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ BLEACH #172]

Firstly, I must apologize for the low frequency of entries coming from me over the past 2-3 weeks. Simply put, my career has already kicked off since graduation and the work involved is pretty detailed stuff. As a result I have been unable to watch a lot of my usual shows because of an earlier time to go to sleep (that and I’m usually pretty tired at the end of the day). However, now that I’ve settled into my workplace I hope to catch up to all the shows that I’m blogging so I ask of you to bear with me for a while. That said, this is the first of my “catching-up series of posts”.

So this episode pretty much revolves around Kira. He’s not a favorite character of mine but I suppose he’s alright in small doses. Anyway, the most important thing about this episode was how Kifune reacted when he and Kira were fighting the Hollows underground. He simply wanted to take out/kill one of his own squad members along with the Hollow and even attacked Kira in the process. At first I thought he was doing it to test Kira and work on his issues about his self-confidence but that doesn’t seem to be the case. It seems like he’ll turn out to have an interesting past once they get around to revealing it some time in the future. At the very end of the episode we see Lurichi return to SS and all by herself where she bumps into someone we aren’t able to see. Does this girl have no sense of danger?
