In the past, it is shown how Komamura and Tousen met as friends, later revealing that Komamura wanted to repay a debt as his reason for becoming a Soul Reaper. In the present, Komamura activates his bankai but is blocked continually by Tousen, who later discovers that he can cause damage to Komamura himself whenever his bankai is damaged.
