Ichigo Kurosaki, along with his family, runs a local clinic. Ichigo has the unusual ability to see poltergeists but rather than react with surprise he merely sees it as an annoyance. Ichigo helps those when he cares but can't bring himself to care enough... until one fateful day. A small, mysterious woman appears on duty inside his room, a Soul Reaper known as Rukia. Soon enough Ichigo and Rukia get formal in the oddest of ways and in such untimely matter the losses begin. The Kurosaki family is soon attacked. This leads Ichigo on his first step to accepting the role and responsibility's a Soul Reaper must uphold.
As Ichigo and Kisuke prepare to leave for Soul Society, Kon demands to accompany them, insisting that he will help save Nozomi. Ichigo agrees and the others give him words of encouragement. Kisuke then asks them a favor. In Inaba's lab, an alarm sounds and the Reigai of Nanao Ise informs Kagerōza Inaba that they have detected several reiatsu signatures in the Dangai. She states that she will send forces to the Senkaimon immediately.
Ichigo Kurosaki lies helplessly in the rain as Kagerōza takes Nozomi away. He blacks out soon after. He later awakens at the Urahara Shop, Urahara having brought him there. Urahara reassures him that he hasn't been out that long; maybe half a day after he had passed out.
Yamamoto glares defiantly at the onrushing blast of energy, preparing the flames of Ryujin Jakka, but Nozomi suddenly steps in front and raises Arazomeshigure to block the attack. Yamamoto and Inaba voice their disbelief, and Kon shouts out Nozomi's name as the blast connects.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto shows up in the Human World and saves the Shinigami along with Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends from an attack by Byakuya Kuchiki's Reigai. He questions whether Nozomi Kujō is the girl that has been referenced in the reports given to him. When Rukia Kuchiki gives him her name, he replied that it does not matter for she is a "mere Modsoul".
As the dust settles from the false Kenpachi and Ikkaku's clash, Ikkaku struggles to rise as his cloned captain stands over him and comments that their fight was rather enjoyable. He prepares to finish Ikkaku off, but Nozomi intervenes, releasing Arazomeshigure and blasting away the mod-soul.
