Bleach Episode 189 – The Fallen Shinigami’s Pride
Bleach Episode 189
Amagai uses the power of the bakkoutou to dangerous levels in order to further increase his strength, but after unleashing a powerful blow on Ichigo, he manages to take control of himself. After learning that Ichigo still does not want to back down for Lurichiyo’s sake, Amagai decides to fight him on his own power. Finally, Amagai and Ichigo each deal out a final blow at each other, but Amagai loses and his bankai reverts to the zanpakutō’s original form. Unwilling to admit defeat, Amagai stabs Yamamoto, but the latter is unharmed. Yoruichi and the other captains arrive to explain that Amagai’s father, Kisaragi, was actually helping Yamamoto to investigate the Kasumioji household but was captured and made an unwilling pawn by Kumoi with the power of the bakkoutou. In order to save Kisaragi, Yamamoto had no choice but to kill him. Upon learning this, Amagai finally relents and makes peace with Yamamoto; however, he decides to account for his previous wrongdoings and kills himself with his zanpakutō, igniting himself in a funeral pyre. Before igniting himself, he apologizes to Kira and bids him farewell. Later, Lurichiyo and Shuu thank Ichigo and his friends for the help they provided, with Lurichiyo taking up the role of head of the household.
