So, you are an immortal that feeds on the pure energy from a Human Soul, the power known as Rashe, and you are just a little bitter about the way your creators treat you. You have finally gotten access to their world and now all you want is to get some payback. 

Bleach 24 has placed the Bounts solidly in the Soul Society and their plans to take down the Shinigami seem to be going as planned. The plot to get the locals to fight against the Soul Reapers is going well and the ability to move about without being noticed too much is, by far, their most effective weapon.  These four episodes also provide a rather important discussion of the real secrets regarding the Bounts. 

Overall

Tite Kubo must be recognized as one of the best writer/creators of Manga/Anime in Japan today. His ability to weave this story with ethical relevance is rival to none. He consistently provides many quandaries that humans must face and uses the complexities of the characters to wind their way through the minefields.  These four episodes of Bleach provide a rather sympathetic view of the Bount and, at the same time, show them to be somewhat heartless. But this is nothing more than being a product of their own history and environment. 

The real draw to Bleach is not the silly humor or epic battles that surge through the series as if the life's blood, but it is instead the human condition that is played out over and over again. The Soul Reapers have been portrayed as benevolent beings that care for Humans, but really they are just as self-centered and shallow as everyone else. It also appears as though the long string of antagonists that they fight all have legitimate grudges and in the case of the Bounts it appears to be a valid claim. I find myself torn between wanting them to win and wanting them to be wiped out. 

Then there is Ichigo, the real hero of the show. I am always drawn back to his unabashed singular vision. He always sees everything so clearly, there is no gray in his eyesight, there is only black and white.  This pure heart and mind is what brings me back around. He does not care about the past, even though he does understand what has brought them to this point, the only issue for him is that the fight must be fought and that with all their flaws, the Soul Society is still the best to have in charge. 

Anyway, I think you have the idea and that even though these episodes are in the middle of the season, there is a reason to see them.
