Both animes treat them of samurais and both characters want to have to be able more to protect the people that them more they love. They struggle for the justice and no matter how strong the enemy is, they never abandon the battlefield and nor they give up the fight, taking a risk their own lives to save the people.

Rurouni Kenshin is similar to Bleach as they both have swords, are action based mainly, have many funny moments and Kenshin, similar to Ichigo tries his best to protect his friends.
Both of these animes have great sword fights. They also artistically do period art, though Bleach also has modern things in it.

Ichigo and most shinigami in this series battle using sword. They have good sword fighting style. Meanwhile Kenshin and several characters in his anime also battle using sword as their main weapon. Both give us beautiful story with great sword fighting choreography. Two thumbs for both of them, banzai sword! fuck gun!
I think, they're kind of similar, especially the main characters Kenshin <-> Ichigo.

One can say Bleach is identical to Yu Yu Hakusho but underlying it's true message is that it is Rurouni Kenshin's spiritual successor with the setting of YYH.
The story is about the orange haired male fighting to protect their friends with a sword powerful enough to slay evil to bring justice in a strict moral code.
A lot of moral implications regarding politics are shown. Even anti heroes have the same standards.
Ichigo's group is similar to Kenshin's:
Ichigo-Kenshin
Rukia-Kaoru
Renji/Sado-Sanosuke
Ishida/Urahara-Saito
Kon-Yahiko
Orihime-Megumi
Isshin-Hiko
Governments that are the central focus said to be corrupt as well:
Soul Society-Meiji Government
Antagonists are identical too:
Aizen-Shishio
Gin-Soujiro
Tousen-Usui
Espada-Ten Swords

In many ways Bleach seems like a modern Rurouni Kenshin
Ichigo/Kenshin: Both are warriors who fight with swords to protect and struggle with their inner demons
Rukia/Kaoru: The most shipped love interest and also the first woman the main protagonist meets
Renji/Sanosuke: Enemies became MC's best friend after being beaten by them
Saito/Grimmjow: MC's rival
Shishio/Aizen: Main villains who want to overthrow a specific government and rule a different world
Sojiro/Gin: Sword prodigies who have their eyes closed most of the time and have the silent killer vibe
I can go on but I think Bleach is more similar to Rurouni Kenshin than Yu Yu Hakusho as many say
