Ep. 174: Kumoi memperkuat kekuasaan sementara Hanza menjebak Ichigo dalam dimensi cermin sebelum mundur.

174

Kumoi eliminates the remaining clan members that oppose him to consolidate his power. In Karakura Town, Kisuke Urahara finds that there has been a shortage of a type of spirit particles, and theorizes that this is linked to the activities of the Kasumiouji clan. Kumoi sends Hanza and a dozen assassins to kill Ichigo, his friends, and Lurichiyo. Hanza fights Ichigo using the mirror weapon an assassin previously used against Ichigo, and explains that the weapon, known as Saiga, is stronger by feeding on his spiritual energy. Hanza traps Ichigo in a separate dimension using Saiga. Ichigo is freed by Yoruichi Shihouin, who reveals that the remaining assassins have been defeated. Hearing this, Hanza retreats. The following day, Kumoi installs Lurichiyo's fiancé, Shuu Kannogi, as the head of the clan. (Source: Wikipedia) The New Captain Shuusuke Amagai arc: (7/22)
