Airdate

Kisuke and Tessai arrived to stop Aizen, but Aizen was expecting this the entire time. Aizen attempts to lie by saying that he found his fellow shinigami injured from battle, but to stop these lies, Kisuke reveals that Aizen had been performing hollowfication test in the spirit world. Aizen flees from the scene shortly after this. Tessai asks if Kisuke knows how to stop the hollowfication. Kisuke has something that may just work, so Tessai uses illegal Kidou to freeze time and bring everyone in the area back to the 12th squad research facilities. Kisuke shows Tessai the object that may be to save those undergoing the hollowfication process, the Houkygou. Kisuke attempts to save the but fails. After the night has passed, Shinigami ambush the 12th squad headquarters to bring Kisuke and Tessai before room 46. Room 46 falsely interrogates Kisuke about his hollowfication research, but when Kisuke tried to explain that Aizen was at fault, room 46 declared that Aizen was in the Barracks that night. Kisuke is sentenced to exile in the real world and Tessai is sentenced to his powers being taken away. Just before they are taken off, Yoruichi appears and takes them back to her and Kisuke's hideout. She has also brought the 8 shinigami undergoing hollowfication. Kisuke declares that he will find out how to save them. Time flashes forward to "present day" at the Vizard headquarter, it appears that Shinji had narrated the previous story. He says that they have become who they are thanks to Kisuke and Aizen. After this they walk out of the building, ready to fight.

A recap of the Hueco Mundo arc. After the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow, Grimmjow comes back up to fight Ichigo again but ends up getting struck down by Nnoitra. Nnoitra and Ichigo begin to fight, while Nnoitra's Fraccion, Tesla, captures Orihime, and Nnoitra reveals that he is the 5th Espada and stronger than Grimmjow. Renji, Uryuu, Dondochakka and Pesche go to save Orihime, Rukia, and Chad, but encounter Szayel Aporro again.

The fight between Nnoitra and an exhausted Ichigo continues. Attacks from Ichigo with his bankai are easily fended off by Nnoitra. Orihime is warned not to interfere by Tesla, who says her power belongs to Aizen who has allowed Tesla to destroy it if she attacks. Renji, Uryū, Dondochakka and Pesche begin their fight with Szayel who has had time to redress himself for their second act. He indicates his annoyance with the fight with such insects and unleashes his released form, Fornicaras, to create clones of the four rescuers. He releases the power limiter on the room so that they can fight their clones at full power. Meanwhile, Tesla remembers that Ichigo's companion, the arrancar Nel, has gone missing. He locates the trembling Nel hiding behind a rock and exposes her. Nnoitra recognizes the terrified child immediately by her broken mask and facial mark and reveals that her real name is Neliel Tu Oderschvank, a former Espada.

The fight between Nnoitra and Ichigo gets more desperate as Nnoitra is about to crush Nel's head. Ichigo saves her, but Nnoitra brutally throws Ichigo out of the way each time he attempts to stop him. Nnoitra's moves get more aggressive until he begins to break Ichigo's arm. The intensity of Nel's emotions unleash an unintentional transformation to her original adult form. Nel then reveals that she has the rank of the former 3rd Espada- Neliel tu Oderschvank-, and begins to overpower Nnoitra. Nnoitra, however, is not easily defeated, even surviving Nel's powerful Cero Doble technique, and reveals that while Neliel once outranked him, the Espada have grown more powerful in her absence.

Ishida and Renji struggle against their clones, which multiply every time one is destroyed. Renji uses his bankai to get his clones to follow, crushing the building. Szayel then reveals a second ability: he is able to create voodoo dolls of an opponent by wrapping them in his wings. He succeeds with Ishida and Renji, and shows that by using them, he can cause pain to the targets and damage their internal organs. Meanwhile, Nnoitra is still losing to Neliel, but they hesitate before they can deal each other fatal blows, and Nnoitra notes that he has despised Neliel even before her departure.

Neliel's past is revealed through her fight with Nnoitra. Meanwhile, Pesche and Dondochakka mounts an offensive against Szayel after seeing Renji struggling against the Espada. Pesche thinks back to the time when Nnoitra attacked Neliel for power which ultimately ended with breaking Neliel's mask through the guidance of Szayel. She is dumped by Nnoitra, along with Pesche and Dondochakka back out of Aizen's palace. Neliel obtains amnesia as her broken mask renders her into a child. To the present, Nnoitra taunts Neliel in regards to their past. Neliel then releases her Zanpakuto, shouting "Declare...!".

Neliel finishes calling out her sword, Gamuza, and transforms into a white centaur. Before finishing her opponent, she suddenly transforms back to her child form. Meanwhile, Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka Bilstin fight Szayel, using their Bawabawa. Pesche takes out his sword, Ultima, as he lands a strike on Szayel. As the fights go on, Dondochakka takes out his club to help out. Pesche and Dondochakka use their ultimate attack, "cero sincrecito", a combination of Dondochakka and Pesche's cero. Szayel manages to render their attack ineffective, and prepares to finish them off. Meanwhile, the Exequias prepare to kill Gantenbaine and Chad, and Zommari prepares to kill Rukia. Nnoitra sends Tesla to finish off Ichigo, and he releases his zanpakuto, turning into a large warthog. Before Tesla can do so, 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki stops him.

Kenpachi defeats Tesla in one blow and tells Ichigo to stay out of his fight with Nnoitra. He informs Ichigo that Urahara was tasked with making the Garganta into Hueco Mundo stable enough for the captains to enter, and that three others came with him. Retsu Unohana arrives with Isane Kotetsu, and persuades the Exequias to leave before healing Gantenbaine and Chad. Mayuri Kurotsuchi arrives and, despite Szayel creating a doll replica of him, remains confident that he can win. Byakuya arrives to save Rukia, and while Zommari nearly kills him with Gemelos Sonido, he manages to save himself with a technique called molting cicada that Yoruichi taught him.

Zommari, upset over Byakuya refusing to consider him an equal opponent, releases his zanpakuto, Brujeria, causing him to grow eyes all over his body that can control anything. He attempts to hinder Byakuya by controlling his left leg and arm, but Byakuya, realizing what is going on, severs the tendons and renders them useless. Hanatarou arrives and tries to get Rukia to safety, but Zommari uses his ability to control Rukia, who severely wounds Hanatarou, and demands that Byakuya surrender under the threat of making Rukia kill herself. Byakuya immobilizes Rukia with kido, and uses his bankai to attack Zommari, who is unable to control the countless blades to save himself.

Zommari survives Byakuya�s attack but Byakuya, having already discovered how to counter his ability to control others, quickly dispatches him. Mayuri initially seems unable to fight back against Szayel destroying his organs, but reveals that he has made himself immune to Szayel�s ability by replacing all the organs in his body with dummies after learning about the ability from bacteria he implanted in Uryu. He then activates his bankai, poisoning Szayel despite his efforts to make an antidote, then has it swallow Szayel.

Rukia regains consciousness, but is told to rest and regain her strength for the battles ahead. Kenpachi's battle with Nnoitra continues, and Orihime heals Nel at Ichigo's request. Despite managing to have his bankai swallow Szayel, Mayuri inadvertently poisons Uryu and Renji, and Szayel seizes the opportunity to resurrect himself by absorbing Nemu's spiritual particles through his Gabriel technique. However, in the process, he ingests a �super-human� drug from inside Nemu that increases all of his senses to the point where his body cannot keep up, immobilizing him. Mayuri then stabs him through the hand before stabbing him in the heart.

Szayel, his senses heightened as a result of the drug,he feels Mayuri's zanpakuto piercing through his hand and heart for what seems like countless lifetimes before he dies. After restoring Nemu to full health, Mayuri orders her to clear away the rubble that concealed Szayel's laboratory. In the Lab it shows two dangling bodies, but does not show who they were. Afterwards, Mayuri heals the reluctant Uryuu's injuries. Elsewhere, Kenpachi has difficulty cutting through Nnoitra's hierro, but believes that Nnoitra can be injured. Nnoitra dodges an attack to his head, and Kenpachi says this proves the attack was a real danger to the arrancar. Kenpachi then manages to stab Nnoitra through his eyepatch, but Nnoitra counter-attacks, injuring Kenpachi, and reveals that he had stabbed him through his hollow hole. Kenpachi, unfased, merely grins.

Kenpachi manages to wound Nnoitra with the slash, and finds the right amount of force he needs to put into his blows in order to cut his opponent. He continues to attack Nnoitra, and after Nnoitra accidentally tears off his eyepatch while trying to attack him, the limits on his power are removed, and he delivers a devastating slash to Nnoitra. Nnoitra then releases his zanpakuto, Santa Teresa, giving him an extra pair of arms and regenerative abilities. Nnoitra attacks Kenpachi and severely wounds him, but Kenpachi manages to cut off an arm. Nnoitra regenerates the arm and continues on the assault, growing yet another pair of arms and stabbing Kenpachi.

Kenpachi continues fighting Nnoitra, and although he is able to keep up with his attacks, soon realizes that he is in danger of dying. He then resorts to using kendo and deals Nnoitra a powerful sword strike, severely wounding him. Nnoitra is angered by Kenpachi's belief that he had won as he hates being shown mercy or being pitied more than anything, partly influenced by his time with Neliel. He charges Kenpachi, but is struck down again and mortally wounded.

After Kenpachi defeats Nnoitra, he demands Orihime heal him. Before Orihime reaches him, the Espada Stark arrives and takes her away to a tower where Sōsuke Aizen greets her. He informs her that he, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen are preparing to destroy Karakura Town. Aizen orders Tōsen to contact all of the Soul Reaper captains, Ichigo, and his friends with kidō, and reveals that he brought Orihime to Hueco Mundo to lure and trap them. As he travels through a garganta portal to Karakura Town, however, Aizen is confronted by Commander-General Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the leader of the Gotei 13, with five other captains. Aizen summons the Espada Stark, Barragan, and Halibel and orders Espada Ulquiorra Schiffer to protect Las Noches.

Back in the real world, Ichigo is in school when he happens upon Lurichiyo from the Kasumioji clan again, who it turns out has come back to the real world because she is angered that Kenryuu, her retainer, would not allow her to play soccer when she has other important duties to attend to. This leads to an outburst between Lurichiyo and Kenryuu, and the latter intends to end his life to make Lurichiyo "happy." After some persuasion from Ichigo and his friends, they manage to put on an act to fool Lurichiyo into forgiving him, but she ends up seeing through it. This leads to another argument about soccer and culminates in Lurichiyo challenging Kenryuu to a soccer game to see who is right once and for all. *side note you see the back of Senna's head behind Ichigo the first time in the restaurant*

The soccer game officially kicks off, with the referees being the proprietors from the Urahara Shop, Jinta and Ururu, with Urahara himself overseeing the proceedings, including setting up a gigantic barrier around the play field to designate the assigned area, which apparently is not legal in Soul Society's eyes. The two teams, each with varying characters, ranging from gigais to Kon, the modsoul, attempt to keep the ball away from each other using different and comical means. The action culminates in Ikkaku Madarame joining in the game, while actually sparring with Ichigo instead, under the impression that the latter was doing some intensive training, and a hollow which appears on the field, drawn by everyone's spiritual pressure. With the help of Ichigo, Chad and Uryu, the hollow is quickly dispatched and the game is over because the ball was dropped by Lurichiyo's team. Before she can lament about going back to her world, Shuu from the Kasumioji clan enters the human world via a Senkai Gate and shows Lurichiyo that her idea about a soccer tournament in Soul Society wasn't such a bad idea in the eyes of the commoners after all. Satisfied with this, Lurichiyo, Kenryuu and Enryuu all return to Soul Society.

The pendulum of time swings back 110 years to reveal secrets that need to be shown before time can advance again. In the Soul Society, the then-fifth division captain, Hirako Shinji, is approached by then-fifth division lieutenant, Aizen Sosuke, about preparations for the new captain of 12th division. Yoruichi Shihoin and Kisuke Urahara are sparring in their private training area until Yoruichi tells him that she has recommended him for the position of 12th Division Captain. Soi Fon, immediately distrusting Urahara because of what she has seen of his person and his dwelling, follows him around town in order to prove to Yoruichi that he is not worth being chosen for that responsibility. Yoruichi, however, after seeing Soi Fon's proof on paper, disregards it as a love letter. It turns out that Urahara and a group of Shinigami were tailing a group of deserters who had abandoned the Seireitei of their own admonition and sent to stop them. After they are taken care of, Urahara passes the qualification exam and shows up, albeit last and late, to the captain's meeting.

No description yet, will update later.

Urahara takes Hiyori to the Maggots Nest. He then asks Mayuri to join him. He refuses but eventually gives in. It is shown that Kaien doesn't want to be the vice-captain of the 13th devision under Ukitake, and Ichimaru Gin has completed the Shinigami Academy in one year and has taken a seat in the 5th squad. Aizen tests Gin by letting him fight against the 3rd Seat of the 5th division, but he is no match for Gin. Then, the pendulum swings nine years forward again.

Shinji Hirako tells Urahara Kisuke about the mysterious disappearance of few Rukongai citizens. Kensei Mugurama sets out for the mission.

The spiritual energies of Kensei and all of his squad have vanished, and this sparks a now serious situation in Soul Society. An emergency captain's meeting is held to determine who will go to oversee the situation that is growing worse by the day. Although Kisuke appears late and pleads his case to go, Yamamoto denies him. Instead, Shinji, Aikawa Love, the 3rd Division Captain, Kyoraku's lieutenant Yadomaru Lisa and Hacchigen, from the Kido Corps, are dispatched. In the woods, Hiyori is attacked by a grotesque and powerful hollow that is revealed to be Kensei. Shinji arrives to save her, along with the rest of the captains, but soon Mashiro appears, also transformed into a hollow and attacks the group. Hacchi manages to bind both Mashiro and Kensei, but the latter is able to escape by using brute strength alone. The situation begins to look grim for everyone. Meanwhile, Kisuke 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 Kido Corps, stops him and insists that he not go alone. The two then prepare to set out together.

Captain Kyoraku is out late when he happens upon Nanao Ise, his future lieutenant, who wonders if Lisa will be all right. Kyoraku reassures her that she'll be fine, but she is actually getting beaten by the rampaging Kensei, whose terrifying new abilities overpower most of the group, until Hacchi finally manages to bind him with an extremely powerful spell. Shinji is then brutally attacked by Hiyori, who is now a hollow. Kaname Tosen unexpectedly incapacitates the group, with the exception of Shinji. To make matters worse, Aizen appears and reveals his own betrayal, explaining to Hirako that his illusion-casting zanpakuto made it seem like Aizen was following Shinji all the time, when it was really a totally different person. Aizen tells Shinji that if he had attempted to get to know his lietenant, he may have been able to see through the deception. Shinji and the rest of the group start transforming into hollows, but Shinji manages to hang onto himself, but as soon as he gets agitated, the change comes again. Aizen tells Shinji that the betrayal you don't see coming is the most terrifying of all. He then prepares to finish off Hirako, but an unlikely savior jumps in...Kisuke!

Going back to the time when Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad left the real world for Hueco Mundo with Kisuke's help, the main focus is now directed to the events that took place in Karakura town during the previous arc. Kisuke feels that Karakura town needs protection against hollows now that Ichigo left. In one night, he came up with the idea to create a fun way to protect the town, which was to force Kon into a team of hollow fighting super heroes called "Soul Burial Detective, Karakura Riser" Once Kon gets used to his new hero suit, he meets the rest of the team which includes Don Kanonji, Tatsuki, Chizuru, Keigo, and Ururu. After a successful fight with hollows, the team encounters a woman who appears to be an arrancar.

This is a continuation of the previous episode. The team assembled in the previous episode are to infiltrate a gate that the Arrancar are using to travel between Hueco Mundo and the world of the living. At the "Hollow Fortress" numerous Hollows attacked the team. Don Kanonji and Ururu stayed behind to take care of the hollow and the others went inside the "Hollow Fortress". When they got inside the fortress, they met one of the many arrancar from Hueco Mundo. Chizuru used her "Hyper Erotic Powers" to distract the arrancar, and Tatsuki, Keigo, and Kurumatani take care of the Hollows inside. Kon travels to the center of the fortess, where he meets a hollow and kills it with his "Riser Beam", exploding and destroying the heart of the fortress, and the fortess itself. In the end, Urahara erects a barrier around Karakura town.
