A crisis emerges in the Soul Society as captains respond to vanishing energies and attacks by hollowfied allies, prompting a tense operation led by selected forces amid growing chaos and mysterious transformations.
The spiritual energies of Kensei and his squad vanish, sparking a serious situation in the Soul Society. An emergency captain's meeting is held to determine who will oversee the situation. Urahara appears late and pleads his case to go, but Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto does not grant his request. Instead, Hirako, Love Aikawa, Roujuurou "Rose" Otoribashi, Yadomaru Lisa and Hachigen Ushouda, from the Kidou Corps, are dispatched. In the woods, Hiyori is attacked by a grotesque and powerful hollow revealed to be Kensei. Hirako arrives to save her, along with the rest of the captains, but soon Mashiro Kuna appears and also transforms into a hollow and attacks the group. Hachigen binds both Mashiro and Kensei, but the latter escapes through brute strength alone. Meanwhile, Urahara is torn at his decision to send Hiyori out alone and defies orders that he is not to go, using a cloak that completely masks his energy. Before he can set out, Tessai Tsukabishi, also of the Kidou Corps, accompanies him.
