Bleach episode 204 and 205 are ‘feelers’ episodes that revolves around Lurichiyo wanting to start a football tournament. Nothing really related to the story-proper.
Action really resume in Bleach episode 206 and 207. Well, it may disappoints you a little if I tell you that it is not the continuation of episode 203 where Aizan and his man going head on against Captain Commander and his man at Ichigo’s hometown. But it is a flashback and memories of what was it like 100 over years ago in Soul Society. And I really like the story development thus far as I am really interested in knowing what happened previously in Soul Society.
The captains were different from what we have now except for Squad one, eight and thirteen. The rest of the captains were not strangers to us however. Remember Vizards, the group led by Hirako Shinji that went to the new world and taught Ichigo how to control ‘hollification’? Well these people are either Captains or Vice-Captains back then. Hirako was Captain and his assistant was non other than Aizan.
The goddess of lightning, Yourichi was Captain Squad 2 and her assistant was the current captain Soifon. Captain Squad 12 was promoted to Royal Guard and there was a need to promote someone to fill this vacancy and Urahara was recommended and promoted to Captain Squard 12. Things was as smooth as he thought when the Vice-Captain Hyori was a tough person to communicate with. Urahara is the shop owner in the real world back in Ichigo’s hometown. He looks lazy and calm in even dire situations were always seen to wear a hat with green and white stripes.
In episode 207, it was highlighted that Aizan was already trying to spy on his captain, Hirako. But Hirako knew Aizan was spying all these while and it somewhat implied that Hirako seems to know what was in Aizan’s ambitious mind.
