Summary:
When Ichigo and company get word that the Kasumiooji family is preparing for Rurichiyo’s wedding to Kannogi Shuu, Urahara suggests that a body double will be used in her place since she’ll still be in the real world. He also thinks that it could be a trap to lure them out and capture Rurichiyo. At that moment, she is watching over the injured Sado and Ishida with Inoue, and she blames herself for what happened to them. After helping Inoue, Rurichiyo goes up to the rooftop and is there by herself until Ichigo finds her. Ichigo tries to make her understand that she wasn’t at fault, but Rurichiyo doesn’t believe him and reveals that she knows that Kumoi is out to kill her. When Rurichiyo starts crying, Ichigo explains that they each decided on their own to protect her because they couldn’t leave her alone. Rurichiyo thanks him for comforting her, but she then throws his badge away and kicks him in the face.
While Ichigo is down, she opens a doorway back to Soul Society and leaves through it because she doesn’t want to trouble everyone any further. Ichigo and company have a hard time chasing after her because Kenryuu is now locked out from reopening the gate, so they have to use Rukia to go through the main Soul Society gate. When Ichigo, Rukia, Kenryuu, and Enryuu arrive in Soul Society however, they are held up by the gate guards until the following morning because they hadn’t made an official request to pass through. The four are then prevented from entering the Kasumiooji estate because Kenryuu and Enryuu have been accused of abducting Rurichiyo, and they’re forced to flee the Kasumiooji guards. Instead of trying to look for Rurichiyo, Ichigo comes up with a plan to go after her during the wedding, and the group waits until the ceremony is over to make their appearance. Ichigo tries to call out to Rurichiyo, but she doesn’t respond to his voice, and Soifon suddenly arrives with her men to stop him.

ED: 「ギャロップ」 (Gallop) by pe’zmoku
Watch the ED!: Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Streaming
Well if the last two EDs are considered to be heavy on Inoue, this one is definitely focused on Rukia (and thereby RukiaXIchigo). I’m sure that won’t help any Rukia vs. Inoue debates. The song itself didn’t really stick with me though, so I’m rather apathetic towards it, but maybe it will grow on me after a few more weeks.

Ugh, we’re back to the standard bratty-kid-blames-herself-and-does-something-idiotic kind of plot. It makes the episode rather uninteresting to watch, and I think the only redeeming factor here was the potential for a battle between Soifon and Ichigo. The preview for next week doesn’t show any fighting between them though, so I’m not getting my hopes too high - I just don’t want Ichigo and friends to let themselves get arrested or something stupid like that. It also look like we might finally get to see Enryuu do some fighting, and given how this episode ended, next week will surely more exciting.
On a side note, I wonder if it’s a bad sign that I still can’t look at dead eyes like these and think of anything other than School Days…

Since I’m watching it, the dead eyes remind me more of Higurashi no naku koro ni. Now I can’t stop thinking of the little princess with a meat cleaver.

The ending seems like a setup for the new bleach movie coming out in December… http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/bleach/

Wow…that ending song REALLY sucks. It’s just…ugh. The tune seems so erratic and the whole thing isn’t very pleasant to listen to. -.-
I’ve given up watching bleach anyhow. Instead of sitting through a crappy episode each week I just quickly browse through the summaries here. I’ve had it with horrible filler material.

Como que huele a que ya se va a acabar esta saga. Gracias a Dios, ya no soporto más estas mamadas que meten para reyenear el espacio televisivo, están tan mal como Naruto los tios estos que animan la serie.

I’m so annoyed with the Bleach fillers, is it ever going to end at a point of time. I watched the new Bleach ending i didn’t really like it that much. There’s something that bothers me, how is Mr. Kubo going to end the series, think Mr. Kubo. I wonder where Grimmjow and all the other freaks are at? I’m so confused? =(
I forgot to tell you that i’m new here, great job on the bloging Mr. Omni keep up the nice work. =)

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee the new endingggggggggggggggg XXXXXXD
iit’s so ichiruki O_____O it’s the only ending that has only two people (couple XD) so happy:yay
I don’t care it’s filler or not..it’s definitely the best couple ending I have seen in bleach ^^
kagebutsu at 12:23 am on July 17th, 2008
When are these horrible fillers going to end?
Kurosaki Ichigo at 12:25 am on July 17th, 2008
Two things. That bother me.
1- why would soul society so quickly think Ichigo is guilty of kidnapping a noble when he risked his life before saving one (Rukia). Even though she technically isn’t one, but has the status of one.
2 - Why does stupid noble girl constantly refer to herself as “We”? Is she bipolar or something?
Quentou at 1:06 am on July 17th, 2008
Personally, i don’t like the ED song, but the pics in it were pretty different…gives off a different Bleach vibe, eh?
Ungas at 1:48 am on July 17th, 2008
Q>seeing the ending, does rukia have a romantic interest in ichigo?
