Ep. 180: The Princess's Decision, the Sorrowful Bride

180

Kumoi schedules Lurichiyo's wedding for the following day, and Kenryuu and Enryuu realize that he will replace her with an imposter if Lurichiyo does not return for the wedding. Ichigo goes to speak with Lurichiyo, who reveals that she knew about the true goal of the assassins and Kumoi's connection to them, feeling guilty that Chad and Uryuu were injured. She escapes into the Soul Society, intending to participate in the marriage to keep Kumoi in line; however, when she arrives on the other side, her eyes have gone blank and she expresses no desire to leave. Ichigo, Rukia, Kenryuu and Enryuu attempt to follow them, but are unable to reach Lurichiyo, as Kenryuu and Enryuu have been blamed for kidnapping her. On the day of the wedding, the four enter the compound to retrieve Lurichiyo, but second division captain Soi Fon and several members of the second division surround them, and Lurichiyo does not respond to Ichigo's calls to her.
