Bleach - Episode 172
Kibune Goes to War!
The Violent Wind that Rages

This episode was nothing special. It was focused on character development, mainly Kira and his past.
The 3rd Squad has only been doing minor missions in order to regain trust. The Captain always uses Kifune/Kibune to help him in matters and everyone gaining more trust in him than Kira.

Some strange thing happens and both Kira and Kifune get trapped underground fighting Hollows.
Here we learn of Kifune’s colder side, when he disregards a shinigami’s life just because he failed fighting the hollows.

Kifune must have gained that personality from some harsh situations in his past works. But, it’s kind of suspect that he openly went against Kira
We also see Kifune’s shikai. The way he used it looked rather uncool..

Who’s being this strange incidents? And what will happen now that Lurichiyo has come to Soul Society? Are the two storylines going to merge?
