Kuinshī ni semaru ma no te" (激突の時!クインシーに迫る魔の手) March 7, 2006 Udagawa eventually captures Ishida, but Yoshino takes Ishida away from him. As Ichigo and the others try to regroup and get Ishida back, Udagawa steps in their way, summoning wave after wave of snakes. Udagawa is finally beaten back by Ururu's bazooka, who has arrived with Renji, Jinta and Tessai. In Soul Society, captain Shunsui Kyōraku has decided to take a visit to the 12th division in order to see their data on the bount. However, captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi refuses to do Shunsui the favor of letting him see the data. Shunsui gently insults Mayuri as he leaves, which prompts an angry Mayuri to erase the data on the bount. But when he finds that he is unable to bring the data up, Mayuri goes into an upset rant. Ishida wakes up in a run down apartment room, surprised to see Yoshino calmly sitting next to him and his head wrapped in bandages. Yoshino can tell that Ishida has lost his power, and notes that she should have found another Quincy. Ishida quickly says that it is impossible, because he is the only Quincy left. Ichigo and company are called to a hospital as Ishida has checked in. When they arrive, Ishida tells the group what Yoshino told him about the bount. That Jin Kariya intends to use the extra power gained when eating a living soul and use it to open a gateway to the "world of the dead", and that Kariya will target Ishida as he needs a Quincy. 72 "Water Attack! Escape from the Shutdown Hospital" "Mizu no kōgeki! Tozasareta byōin kara no dasshutsu" (水の攻撃!閉ざされた病院からの脱出) March 14, 2006 Ishida rests on the ninth floor of the hospital while Ichigo and company stands guard. Soon, Hō and Ban attack using their dolls. They flood the hospital with water; forcing Ichigo and company to retreat to the outside of the hospital. 73[4] "Gathering at the Place of Fortune! The Man Who Makes His Move" "Ba un to shūketsu! Ugoki dasu otoko" (場運と集結!動き出す男) March 28, 2006 The fight with Hō and Ban is far from over, as it is raining outside of the hospital. Attacking the massive pillars of water, Ichigo, Renji and Rukia are quickly swallowed up by the water dolls as Chad and Inoue quickly try and get Ishida to safety. Giving up on drowning Ichigo and the others, the twins decide to go after Ishida. Attacking Chad and Inoue, the twins seem to be gaining the upper hand, even when Chad uses his armor. Chad eventually goes after the twins and splits them apart, but unexpectedly their dolls collapse revealing that they have to combine their powers using telepathy in order to control their dolls. Hō and Ban quickly gain an advantage again though, forcing Ichigo and the others to drink their dolls, allowing them to rip their bodies apart from the inside out. However, Nova uses his power to move Hō and Ban far enough away from each other and weaken their control of their dolls. Ganju and Hanatarō also arrive soon after, and Ganju uses his fireworks to destroy the water dolls. In the process Hō and Ban are turned to ash. Ichigo and company have destroyed the twin bount, but now Ishida has gone missing. 74 "Memories of an Eternally Living Clan" "Eien o ikiru ichizoku no kioku" (永遠を生きる一族の記憶) March 28, 2006 As Ishida wanders aimlessly away from his friends, he runs into Yoshino again, who takes him back to her place and fixes him some coffee. Yoshino tells Ishida that sometimes when you live too long you'll start thinking crazy thoughts, and that sometimes, Bount like Kariya will enact on those thoughts. Meanwhile, Kariya has called all the remaining bount together. Informing them that he has found a Quincy, and that their time has come for them to start a new shining era. In Soul Society, the entire 11th division is excited about the sudden presence of a former member, Maki Ichinose. However Kenpachi Zaraki wants nothing to do with it, and tells everyone to just leave him alone. Kenpachi's thoughts flashback to when Ichinose once stood up against him when Kenpachi killed the former 11th Division captain in battle and was recognized as the new captain. Afterwards, Ichinose requested to leave the 11th Division as he no longer had a reason for being there, the only captain he would ever take orders from was gone. He now serves Jin Kariya unquestionably, which Udagawa thinks is nothing but the easy way out. 75[5] "Earth-Shattering Event at 11th Squad! The Shinigami who Rises Again" "Jūichibantai gekishin! Yomigaetta shinigami" (十一番隊激震!よみがえった死神) April 4, 2006 Still deciding when to go and face Kariya, the tremendous bount named Koga Gowa breaks through the door to Yoshino's loft. Koga has been sent to bring Yoshino and Ishida to Kariya, but Yoshino will not let him without a fight. After bringing forth her fire doll, Koga also brings out his doll, Dalk, which consists of a collection of metallic objects that can take many forms. Capturing Ishida and Yoshino, Koga leaves before Ichigo and company can find them. However, the modified souls are able to track the Bounts' spiritual power if they change into their gigai form, which they hadn't thought of doing until then. Meanwhile in Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has called a meeting of all the captains and their vice captains. Someone has hacked into Mayuri's databank and stolen from it, also laying out a trap that if he tried to access it, the data would be locked. Mayuri is deeply upset over the matter and believes that their is a traitor amongst them. Afterwards, Kenpachi tells Yachiru that he is also suspicious of these events because after years of searching they've just recently found Maki Ichinose. But he is confused about how the two are related. Using the modified soul's tracking abilities, Ichigo and the others find that the bount have taken Ishida to an exclusive large mansion, where Kariya is making his introduction. Kariya wants to borrow Ishida's powers when the time comes to make the world better for the bount and quincy. But Ishida is suspicious of Kariya, who believes that he simply wants to gain the power of the hollow world. 76 "Crashing force! Furido vs. Zangetsu" "Chikara no gekitotsu! Furīdo vs Zangetsu" (力の激突!フリードVS斬月) April 4, 2006 Ichigo's group is having a tough time navigating through the mansion thanks to Ugaki's strange eyeball-like dolls that keep getting in Ichigo's way. However, they have just been leading them to Kariya, who welcomes Ichigo. Kariya surprises Ichigo with his knowledge about him and Rukia, but Ichigo doesn't let it faze him and tells Kariya that he came to take Ishida back. Ichigo tells Rukia and the others to go and find Ishida while he deals with the bount. Rukia and the modified souls managed their way upstairs and are heading towards Ishida's spiritual energy. But they are stopped by Maki Ichinose. The three modified souls are easily defeated by Ichinose, who saw through their abilities easily. Rukia tries using a kidō spell, but Ichinose blocks it with his zanpakutō. He is still deeply disturbed by the method Kenpachi Zaraki used to become the captain of the 11th division, as it effectively shattered his life. But he also says that Jin Kariya gave him a reason to live again, and now he wields his zanpakutō for him. However, upon feeling Ichigo's power rise, Ichinose becomes concerned for Kariya and runs to his aide. Udagawa is up first to fight Ichigo. Using a technique called the snake net, Ichigo is eventually surrounded by snakes even after using flash steps (shunpo) and is launched into a wall. As Udagawa's doll poises to strike again, Ichigo uses his getsuga tenshō. Udagawa then uses this chance created by Ichigo to betray Kariya and take his seal, however, even without his seal, Kariya is still strong enough to block Udagawa's doll. Ichinose also shows up and defeats Udagawa easily after using his initial release. Afterwards, Ichinose starts to fight with Ichigo, as Ichigo had fought Kenpachi and defeated him. 77 "Unfading Grudge! The Shinigami whom Kenpachi Killed" "Kienu onnen! Kenpachi ga kitta shinigami" (消えぬ怨念!剣八が斬った死神) April 11, 2006 This episode focuses mainly on Ichinose's history during flashbacks while he is fighting with Ichigo. They are equally matched at first, despite Ichigo's inability to see Ichinose's sword, but when Ichinose uses the full power of his initial release, Ichigo is rendered almost completely helpless. As Ichigo finally escapes Ichinose's illusions, Kariya steps forward to fight with Ichigo, as he has started to gain an interest in Ichigo's soul. Ichinose remembers his past as a shinigami. That the captain that he had believed in and had worked so hard for was killed in battle by Kenpachi Zaraki. Ichinose wanted to cut Kenpachi down at that moment, but the entire division stopped him as the former captain was defeated in a formal bout. Trying to challenge Kenpachi to a formal bout of his own, Kenpachi says he'll consider it if Ichinose can even cut him. Ichinose fails to do this and deserts the 11th division for the human world. Following a hollow, Ichinose was worn down by the harsh arid environment of the human world. Unfortunately for him the hollow chose to attack when Ichinose was at his weakest. Ichinose was quickly defeated and just as he was about to be eaten by the hollow he was saved by Jin Kariya and Koga Gowa. It was then that Ichinose decided that he would follow Kariya for the rest of his life. The flashback ends as Kariya and Ichigo begin fighting. Just as the final blow is about to be struck, Yoruichi, Jinta and Ururu arrive, barraging the mansion with Ururu's bazooka while Yoruichi carries Ichigo away. Rukia and the modified souls also save Ishida and Yoshino and teleport outside to the other group. Yoruichi tells them its time to leave and they make their escape. 78 "Shocking Revelations for the 13 Divisions! The Truth Buried in History" "Gotei jūsantai kyōgaku!! Rekishi ni uzumoreta shinjitsu" (護廷十三隊驚愕!! 歴史に埋もれた真実) May 2, 2006 In Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has undone the lock on the Bount data and begins explaining the Bount and Quincy history to Captains Ukitake, Shunsui, and Hitsugaya. At some point in the past, the Bounts and Quincy had a battle. During this time, the Bount started eating living human souls to increase their power. They came to the conclusion that, whenever the Bount are about to do something of a large scale, they absorb living human souls, leading them to believe that the number of living human souls attacked will escalate now that the current Bount situation is coming to a head. Ichigo is depressed after his struggle against Kariya. Even though he isn't afraid of Kariya, he still doubts whether or not he can beat him. Ganju arrives on break from his job at the convenience store, to raise Ichigo's spirits and get him out of his depressed state. Along with Renji, Ganju takes Ichigo to Urahara's basement where he and Renji double team against Ichigo until Ganju gets called back to the store by Hanatarō. After Ganju leaves, Renji forces Ichigo to realize how unfocused he has become. 79 "Yoshino's Decision of Death" "Yoshino, shi o kaketa omoi" (芳野、死をかけた想い) May 9, 2006 Ichigo and Renji spend the entire night training underground. Yoshino fuses with Geitei in a useless attempt to kill Kariya. After Yoshino's death Kariya is finally able to create the bitto. 80 "Assault From a Formidable Enemy! A Tiny Final Line of Defense?!" "Kyōteki no kyūshū! Chiisana saishū bōei sen!?" (強敵の急襲! 小さな最終防衛線!?) May 16, 2006 There has been no sign of the Bounts since the previous battle. Urahara decides that he and Renji should go and investigate the mansion, but sends Ichigo home with the puppets to come up with Bount countermeasures. Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba set up all kind of funny traps, and get in a lot of trouble. 81 "Hitsugaya Moves! The Attacked City" "Hitsugaya ugoku! Osowareta machi" (日番谷動く!襲われた街) May 23, 2006 In Karakura Town, humans are being attacked by the bitto, which suck out their souls and reduce their bodies into dust. They then return to the Bounts and provide them with purified souls to drink in order to increase their power. Members of Soifon's second division attack the bitto, but are ineffective against them. Hitsugaya orders more shinigami to enter the human world, noting that they cannot rely on Ichigo alone. At the end of the episode, Renji is seen defending a human against a bitto assault. 82 "Ichigo vs. Dalk! Appearance of the Faded Darkness" "Ichigo VS Daruku! Shirakigami no shutsugen" (一護VSダルク!白き闇の出現) May 30, 2006 After consuming the power of the bitto, Kariya tells the bount to go test out their new powers while he retires to his room. Yoshi attacks Rukia, Inoue and Kuroud while they are on there way to help Renji. Sending Jinta and Ururu ahead, Rukia and Inoue start fighting with Yoshi, who prefers to fight in close-combat with her doll. Meanwhile, Ichigo runs into Koga while he is trying to save Keigo Asano from having his soul consumed by a bitto. Bringing out Dalk, the female doll's body has been enhanced and is now much larger and spiderlike than before. Ichigo has trouble attacking and defending against the tanklike doll, especially since he has to protect a paralyzed Keigo at the same time. Despite giving it an effort, Ichigo is quickly caught by Dalk's metal net and is beaten nearly to death. Ichigo's eyes close as the hollow takes over his body and defeats the powerful doll with ease. But Ichigo quickly regains control and rips the hollow mask from his face, although he is almost completely spent and collapses afterwards. 83 "Grey Shadow, the Secret of the Dolls." "Haiiro no kage, dōru no himitsu" (灰色の影、ドールの秘密) June 6, 2006 As Koga tells Dalk to finish Ichigo off, he is reminded of Cain when he looks at Ichigo struggle to get to his feet. In a flashback, Koga remembers when he first met Cain along time ago. Kariya had left Cain in his care to learn how to create a doll, as well as show Cain how to live with other bount. However, the doll Cain creates was too powerful for him to control and he was consumed by its power. 84[6] "Dissension in the Substitute Team? Rukia's Betrayal" "Daikō chīmu bunretsu? Uragitta Rukia" (代行チーム分裂?裏切ったルキア) June 13, 2006 As Ichigo is about to receive the final blow, Kira Izuru arrives and fights with Koga's doll. Using his initial release, Kira attacks Dalk who doesn't realize that she is getting heavier. Eventually she is unable to move, freeing Kira to help Ichigo, who is being beaten up by Koga. Meanwhile, Inoue and Kuroud are working hard to keep Yoshi busy while Rukia chants the incantation to use a powerful kidō spell at its full power. However, even after buying Rukia time to use the spell, Yoshi is too quick and jumps out of the way of the tremendous blast of energy. Defeating Kuroud, Yoshi is about to destroy Inoue and Rukia, but her doll isn't being very cooperative and misses the attack. Not soon after, Mabashi interrupts her fight to test out his new power. Creating a small and lightning fast flowerlike doll named Ritz, Mabashi attacks Yoshi with his agile doll and forces her to leave. Using its incredible speed, Ritz plays with Rukia and Inoue at first, but when Rukia strikes the doll with a stick, the doll enters her soul and takes over her body. 85 "Deadly Battle of Tears! Rukia vs. Orihime" "Namida no shitō! Rukia VS Orihime" (涙の死闘!ルキアvs織姫) June 13, 2006 Making Rukia his own zombie-like warrior, Mabashi is forcing Rukia to kill her friends and fight for Mabashi until she no longer has any energy or life force to continue living. Inoue finds it difficult to fight against Rukia, as she had traveled to Soul Society to save her before, she can't simply kill Rukia now. This is what Mabashi was counting on though, as he has no intention of letting go of Rukia until she is dead. Shūhei Hisagi also enters the fight and is prepared to kill Rukia so he can then destroy Mabashi, but Orihime finds a way to separate the doll from Rukia's soul before Hisagi kills her. Afterwards, Hisagi defeats Mabashi's doll, and is about to kill Mabashi before he is saved by Ichinose. Meanwhile, Kira has taken Ichigo and Keigo back to Urahara's to be healed by Hanatarō along with Renji and the boy he saved. 86 "Rangiku, dances! Slice the invisible enemy!" "Rangiku, mau! Mienai teki o kire!" (乱菊舞う!見えない敵を斬れ) June 20, 2006 Rangiku Matsumoto is quickly dashing across the rooftops of Karakura town and spots Chad standing in a park. Chad, along with Ururu and Noba, have been confronted by the eldest looking bount, Sawatari. The tense moment is soon broken up by Rangiku who is grateful to finally meet someone she knows in the human world. However they are quickly faced with Sawatari's powerful doll, Baura, which takes the form of a gigantic rocklike fish that can swallow people whole. The doll also navigates through solid objects much like how a real fish swims in water, however it cannot come out unless it is very spacious. Baura eventually swallows Ururu when Chad is caught off guard. Planning a way to get Ururu back, Rangiku uses herself as the bait so Chad will have enough time to catch the tremendous fish when it come out of ground. Chad then throws Baura into Noba, who absorbs the monster in hopes of getting Ururu to pop out. But Sawatari is too strong for Noba, who collapses after Sawatari escapes from inside him. 87 "Byakuya is summoned! The Gotei 13 start to move!" "Byakuya shōshū! Ugokidasu gotei 13" (白哉召集!動き出す護廷十三隊) July 4, 2006 Sawatari has escaped Noba's dimension after being absorbed by him. Noba is severely injured after his escape, leaving Rangiku and Chad to dodge and try a counter attack on Sawatari. Noba manages to gather enough strength to save them again, this time teleporting far away to give them enough time to plan something to beat Sawatari. Linking with Noba's spirit energy and ability to sense the bount, Rangiku searches for Sawatari using her kidō. As Sawatari descends from above, Chad punches his doll in the gut, forcing the tremendous fish to puke up Ururu from inside of its stomach. Meanwhile in Soul Society, Mayuri has found the hidden bount data. Instead of using it to help the other shinigami though, he seems to be schemeing a way to get his hands on one of the bount instead. He decides to send Nemu to the human world with a research item, telling her to give it to Ishida. Not soon after he tells Nemu to go to the human world, there is a disturbance at one of the gates where Ikkaku is guarding. The attacker has completely hidden himself and his spiritual pressure, masking his entire presence so Ikkaku couldn't catch him. Afterwards, Yamamoto Genryūsai calls for a meeting with Byakuya Kuchiki. 88 "Annihilation of the Lieutenants!? Trap in the Underground Cave" "Fukutaichō zenmetsu!? Chikadōkutsu no wana" (副隊長全滅!?地下洞窟の罠) July 11, 2006 After defeating the bount in their respective battles, Ichigo and the others have regrouped at Urahara's while the shinigami that came to human world head towards the bount hideout. Heading into the large cave, they find themselves in the middle of some ancient ruins built with the massive rock formations around them. Ugaki then summons his millions of eyeball like dolls using his deck of cards. Hiding them from the shinigami, the eyeballs shoot a light out around the shinigami casting a shadow. From the shadow comes the true form of Ugaki's doll, Geselle. Splitting the shinigami up, Ugaki systematically takes out each shinigami using his doll. Meanwhile in Soul Society, Byakuya is meeting with the Commander General who suspects that Mayuri Kurotsuchi is setting up some kind of sabotage and has betrayed Soul Society. The Commander General also wants any records the Kuchiki Family may have of the bount, as Kurotsuchi's data can no longer be relied upon. 89 "Rematch?! Ishida vs. Nemu" "Saisen!? Ishida VS Nemu" (再戦!?石田VSネム) July 18, 2006 Ichigo and company arrive at the mouth of the cave, no longer able to feel the spiritual energy of the shinigami that went inside. Heading towards the ruins from earlier, they are quickly surrounded by the endless numbers of Ugaki's eyeball dolls. But they are saved by Rangiku Matsumoto, who tells them to destroy anything that can cast a shadow and then deal with the eyeball monsters. Ichigo and Renji then journey deeper into the cave, finding Kira and Hisagi unconscious, but they are soon split up by a cave in. Meanwhile Ishida is visited by Nemu Kurotsuchi, who proceeds to quickly beat Ishida up. However, she was just testing Ishida, to see if he had really lost his powers. Nemu then gives Ishida a battle accessory that the quincy have used for generations. 90 "Renji Abarai, Final Release of the Soul!" "Abarai Renji, tamashii no bankai!" (阿散井恋次、魂の卍解!) July 25, 2006 As Ichigo and Renji travel deeper into the cave, they find Yumichika's body. However, Ugaki soon calls out the true form of his doll, bringing out the entire massive monster instead of just its hand or some spears. Renji uses his final release to battle the monster, eventually causing it to go out of control. Kariya also betrays Ugaki who is quickly destroyed by his own doll causing a massive cave in. Ichigo escapes the debris and finds Kariya and the other bount. Opening a gateway to the "world of the dead" Ichigo must now take on the bount and hopefully stop them from connecting the human world with the hollow world. But Ichigo is too weak to take on the now extraordinarily powerful Kariya and is being manhandled by him. Kariya was looking forward to fighting Ichigo's final release, but he decides to just kill Ichigo as he can no longer move. However, Kariya tells Ichigo that they never planned on connecting the human world with the hollow world, they had always wanted to go to Soul Society and destroy the people that created the bount. 91 "Shinigami and Quincy, the Reviving Power" "Shinigami to kuinshii, yomigaeru chikara" (死神とクインシー、よみがえる力) August 1, 2006 As Kariya is about to stab Ichigo with his own zanpakutō, Ichigo grabs Zangetsu and stabs himself with it, forcing himself into Zangetsu's world to ask him to use his final form. In an instant, Kariya is no longer holding the sword, and Ichigo has used his final release. Now able to fight evenly with Kariya, Ichigo even marks Kariya on his cheek, but the attack was meant to decapitate him. Their fight is then broken up by Ishida who has regained his Quincy powers. Ishida then fires an arrow into the gateway created by the bount. However, the arrow is not meant to destroy the gate, but complete it so that the bount can travel to Soul Society. Ishida didn't do this to help the bount though, he did it so that he could also go to Soul Society and defeat Kariya there. 92 "Invasion of the Shinigami World, Again" "Shinigami sekai e no totsunyū, futatabi" (死神世界への突入、再び) August 8, 2006 General Yamamoto calls a meeting of all the captains, informing them that the Bounts have arrived in Rukongai and that Hitsugaya has been put in charge of capturing the intruders. However, the last standing order he gives is to kill anyone who seems to be an intruder without hesitation. Arriving in Rukongai, Jin Kariya and Koga Gowa are quickly found by Ōmaeda and Tetsuzaemon Iba and their troops. However, Koga easily dispatches the shinigami with his doll and flattens Ōmaeda as he cowers in fear from Dalk. Tetsuzaemon doesn't want to fight someone who isn't armed with a sword, but attacks Koga anyway. However, Koga catches Tetsuzaemon's zanpakutō with one hand. Jin Kariya then flings Tetsuzaemon through a wall and into a nearby house. Ichigo and the others also make it into Soul Society. Instead of going straight to Sereitei, Yoruichi decides to ask Kūkaku if they can stay at her house while they search for the Bounts and collect data on a person called Rantao - the one responsible for creating the Bounts. Kūkaku agrees after beating up Ichigo and Ganju, but she is still curious and asks Yoruichi to tell her everything. Yoruichi then explains that Ichinose used his zanpakutō's abilities to sneak back into Sereitei, and manipulated the information on Mayuri's computer to perk his interest in with the Bounts. Mayuri fell for it and helped Ishida replace his powers, which led to the Bounts gaining entry into Soul Society. 93 "The Bount Assault! The Gotei 13 of Destructive Earthquake" "Baunto kyōshū! Gekishin no gotei jūsantai" (バウンド強襲!激震の護廷十三隊) August 15, 2006 Ichigo and his group split up in search of the Bount. While searching, Rukia comes across the Bount Yoshi. Caught without her zanpakutō, she uses demon arts to fight. However, due to the power boost the Bounts received, Rukia is quickly overpowered. Meanwhile Yamamoto is explaining the origins of the Bounts to the captains, however, during this mission a messenger interrupts to give the message that Rukia is fighting a Bount. The 13th Division moves out to help her. Rukia nears her limit, having used all of her energy, but there seems to be no effect on the Bount. The final blow is about to be dealt to the injured Rukia when Captain Kuchiki comes and overwhelms Yoshi. Looking on, several buildings in Seireitei explode. 94 "Hitsugaya's Decision! The Clash Approaches" "Hitsugaya no ketsui! Gekitotsu no tokisemaru" (日番谷の決意!激突の時迫る) August 22, 2006 Some buildings in Seireitei are bombed while a few captains look on. Rukia is saved and is put in the Kuchiki house to recuperate. Meanwhile, Jin Kariya steps into one of the worst places in Rukongai, Kusajishi. He confronts the inhabitants and eventually makes a game corner his hideout, from which he is attempting to raise a mob. Ichigo and the others settle into Shiba Kūkaku's home where they eventually set off to the forest with Ishida and Chad on boars. Ichigo, however, goes off on his own, taking Ririn. As Byakuya walks into a forest, he confronts Jin Kariya. 95 "Byakuya Takes the Field! Dance of the Wind-Splitting Cherry Blossoms" "Byakuya shutsujin! Kaze wo saku sakura no mai" (白哉出陣!風を裂く桜の舞) September 5, 2006 Byakuya Kuchiki and Jin Kariya battle. Kariya reveals his doll, which controls wind. Ichigo joins in the fight to assist Byakuya but Kariya is still not overcome. Both shinigami eventually use their final releases, Ichigo shortly after entering the battle and Byakuya just as the episode ends. Meanwhile, Koga Gowa and Ichinose convince the majority of Kusajishi's inhabitants to join them in revolt, trying to create a "new Soul Society". 96 "Ichigo・Byakuya・Kariya, The Battle of the Three Extremes!" "Ichigo・Byakuya・Kariya, sankyoku no tatakai!" (一護・白哉・狩矢、三極の戦い !) September 12, 2006 Byakuya Kuchiki, Jin and Ichigo begin to battle. At the climax of the battle, the creator of The Bounts Rantao crashes down from the sky, stopping the battle. At this time Ishida makes his appearance and Byakuya and Kariya withdraw. Ichigo and Ishida leave with Rantao to her home. 97 "Hitsugaya Strikes! Slice the Enemy in the Middle of the Forest" "Hitsugaya Shutsugeki! Mori no naka no teki wo kire!" (日番谷出撃!森の中の敵を斬れ) September 19, 2006 Rantao reveals that Yoshino's soul was a copy of hers, and that the Bounts were the byproducts of an experiment in which the research team she led tried to create immortal souls. She explains that they couldn't use normal souls for the experiment, and used their own souls as templates for the creation of new souls for the experiment. The Bounts' dolls work the same way as a shinigami's zanpakutō. It is revealed that Ichinose is the one who erased the Bount data; he waits in the forest to fight Hitsugaya, Ichigo, Renji, and Matsumoto while Kariya prepares to attack Seireitei. 98 "Clash! Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Maki Ichinose" "Gekitotsu! Zaraki Kenpachi VS Ichinose Maki" (激突!更木剣八VS一之瀬真樹) October 4, 2006 Hitsugaya and Ichinose pick up where they left off, with Ichinose using his initial release. With everyone confused, Ichinose is about to slice Chad, when Kenpachi Zaraki blocks it and starts his battle with Ichinose. Telling everyone to leave, Zaraki and Ichinose battle. Zaraki blocks every attack Ichinose makes. Ichinose uses his initial release, and eventually cuts Zaraki on the shoulder. Getting desperate, he uses his zanpakutō's final release ability to trap Zaraki within a bright sphere. Zaraki easily escapes by removing his eyepatch, releasing his full spiritual energy. Telling him to give up, Zaraki walks away as Ichinose is left with a huge wound across his chest. Ichinose refuses, and the two face off as auras surround both of them. Zaraki notices that Ichinose is giving it all, but slices him through the chest, apparently killing him. 99 "Shinigami vs. Shinigami! The Uncontrollable Power" "Shinigami VS shinigami! Bōsō suru chikara" (死神VS死神!暴走する力) October 11, 2006 Jin Kariya and his group of Bounts pick up where they left off as they successfully open the Seireitei gate. Just as they enter, Jin Kariya tells the group of ruffians he doesn't need them anymore, and quickly disposes of them as they try to attack him. Ichigo and the others eventually reach Seireitei with an injured Jidanbō's help. Soifon and the Executive Militia separate to try and find the Bounts. Mabashi and his doll, Ritz, quickly dispose of most of them and control some of them. Sensing that Mabashi has done a good job, Sawatari walks away as Mayuri Kurotsuchi un-camouflages himself from the wall. The Executive Militia reports to Soifon. One of the members is infested with Ritz and attacks Soifon with a single bitto. 100 "Soifon Dies? The Last of the Special Forces" "Soifon shisu? Onmitsukidō no saigo" (砕蜂死す?隠密機動の最後) October 18, 2006 Soifon has been infected with a poison which quickly begins to incapacitate her, while the full effects of Rizu's control are seen when her militia, and other infected shinigami start attacking each other, while other groups try to stop Ichigo, Renji and Chad. Komamura and Hisagi, after fending off some Rizu-controlled shinigami, ask Captain Unohana if she can cure the infected personnel. Unohana cannot do this without full knowledge of Mabashi's technique, but she is able to sedate them. Soifon manages to reach a deserted area, where she runs into Mabashi. After a short fight during which Soifon does manage to hit Mabashi once with her Suzumebachi, placing the Homonka on his chest, she becomes severely weakened and begins to turn blind. Mabashi leaves her to die, and after thinking of Yoruichi, Soi Fon tries to find a way to regain strength. Mabashi returns to watch Soifon die, she summons the last of her militia to attack him, but they are also controlled by Rizu and hold her down so Mabashi can infect her too to use her as a tool to fight the other captains. Just when Rizu is about to pierce through Soi Fon, she suddenly fights back with full strength. She reveals that Suzumebachi has the ability to counteract poisons, an important ability for the head of the special forces. With her regained strength, she pierces Mabashi again and kills him. Yoshi and Sawatari notice Mabashi's spiritual energy disappearing, and both decide to cause more havoc. Sawatari is met by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who vows to make him pay for his humiliation at the hands of the Bounto, as the episode ends. 101 "Mayuri's Final Release!! Sawatari・Clash of the Demon" "Mayuri bankai!! Sawatari・Akuma no gekitotsu" (マユリ卍解!!沢渡・悪魔の激突) November 1, 2006 Mayuri proposes Sawatari to become one of his research subjects because of his renewed interest with the Bounts. Sawatari declines and starts attacking Mayuri and manages to rip his left arm off. Mayuri heals himself and counterattacks, limiting Sawatari's doll Baura's movement. The plan works and he manages to pierce Sawatari using his zanpakutō, Ashisogi Jizō. Sawatari then fends him off and starts absorbing spirit particles to heal his injuries, but the zanpakutō's effects linger, as he can no longer use his right arm. Sawatari escapes into another dimension and plans his next moves. He tries luring Mayuri but is caught off-guard when Mayuri reveals that he knew this plan all along, and explains to him that he can track him even if he slips into another dimension. Sawatari then proceeds to attack Mayuri using the absorbed spiritual power of other shinigami in earlier battles. The attacks severely injures Mayuri and he is forced to summon his final release, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo. Baura is then ordered to swallow the final release's poison but the latter proves fatal and crushes both Sawatari and his doll in a counter-attack. Sawatari, defeated and ailing, pleads for his life and agrees to be Mayuri's research subject. The captain refuses, letting his final release's poison kill the Bount. Meanwhile, Yoshi, another Bount, is challenged to a fight by Uryū Ishida. 102 "The Last Quincy! The Exploding Power" "Saigo no kuinshii! Bōhatsu suru chikara" (最後のクインシー!暴発する力) November 8, 2006 Ishida and Yoshi begin their combat and Ishida quickly realizes that the power of the Quincy bracelet is variable. He eventually is able to concentrate and fire a powerful blast, which Yoshi blocks by fusing with her doll, Nieder, and using the giant fan to block the blow. Yoshi also exhibits another new power as she fuses with Nieder's sword half, and is able to use the "Eight Swords" attack on Ishida. Barely able to dodge, Ishida is eventually knocked to the ground. Meanwhile, Kariya breaks into the Bureau of Technology and easily dispatches many shinigami, including Nemu. He declares that he is searching for a crest. Kariya is confronted by Chad and Ichigo, who activates his final release, starting the battle. As the fight commences, a hole is blown in the floor and Kariya sees the crest beneath. By fusing with the crest, which has stored energy which was used to create the Bounts, Kariya declares he has enough power to destroy Seiretei at any moment, but he will give the shinigami, "One day to cower in fear." He promptly disappears before Ichigo can attack him. Meanwhile, Nieder comments on how it was a pity that Ishida was defeated so easily. As Yoshi turns to leave, Ishida fires a giant energy arrow as the episode ends. 103 "Ishida, exceeding the limits to attack!" "Ishida, genkai wo koe te ute!" (石田、限界を超えて撃て!) November 15, 2006 Although his bow appears to be nearing its limit, Ishida manages to defeat Yoshi and her doll Nieder by capitalizing on Yoshi's weakness of not being able to defend and attack at the same time and shoots a powerful arrow into her heart. Kariya shuns the only other Bount, Koga, who was beginning to doubt him and said that Kariya was out of his mind to destroy Seireitei. Kariya injures him, but lets him live. Somewhere else Koga is wandering around when he meets some shinigami and they force him to fight. Hitsugaya's division member runs to alert the captain and both Hitsugaya and Matsumoto run toward the incident. 104 "10th Division's Death Struggle! The Release of Hyōrinmaru" "Shitō jū ban tai! Hyōrinmaru o hanate" (死闘十番隊!氷輪丸を放て) November 22, 2006 Hitsugaya and Matsumoto, with the help of the 10th division, are pursuing Koga. Koga, whilst apparently not killing anyone, easily takes down several 10th division units before finally meeting and fighting captain Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya quickly overpowers Koga's doll, Dalk, freezing and shattering her. Koga then reveals an axe which he tells Hitsugaya is Dalk's core. Koga, now armed with Dalk's core, then proceeds to fight Hitsugaya. Soon, Koga's body appears to be unable to support the large amount of spirit power he's been absorbing throughout the fight. Koga manages to launch a final attack on Hitsugaya, and Hitsugaya slashes him in the stomach. Koga, dying, then briefly reveals his motives, alluding to "a future without war", before falling to the ground and getting buried in ice previously made by Hitsugaya. 105 "Kariya! Countdown to the Detonation" "Kariya! Bakuhatsu he no KAUNTODAUN" (狩矢!爆発へのカウントダウン) November 29, 2006 Hitsugaya returns from his battle with Koga. Ichigo and his friends are currently using Hitsugaya's office as a temporary base. Hitsugaya tells his subordinants to search for Koga's body and give him a proper burial. Meanwhile, 8th division lieutenant Nanao Ise tells Commander General Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai about the Bount crest. The next day, Rantao confronts Kariya with a kidō gun, which she effectively uses to Kariya's surprise. Soon after seeing the Bount crest emblazoned on Kariya's chest, Rantao has a flashback, revealing additional details about the Bount's past. Rantao initially hid the Bount away in a cave city, while returning to Soul Society to request protection for the Bount, however, Central Room 46 calls the Bount a failed experiment and orders them wiped out. The revelation is that the child that Rantao rescued in the shinigami purge of the Bount cave was none other than Jin Kariya. Ishida feels the spiritual power of Rantao and goes off to find her, knowing that Kariya is there too. The episode ends as Rantao is seen getting hit by one of Kariya's attacks. 106 "Life and Revenge! Ishida, the Ultimate Choice" "Inochi to fukushū! Ishida, kyūkyoku no sentaku" (命と復讐!石田、究極の選択) December 6, 2006 The episode starts off as Jin Kariya remembers the events that led up to the purging of the bount many years ago. He remembers their escape from the cave and the attacks by the hollow. Kariya's transformation is shown as he was about to be killed by a hollow. Kariya then remarks on how he was eventually deserted by his fellow bount. After a horrible loss to the shinigami after attempting to utilize the Quincy to reenter Soul Society, Kariya explains how he rounded up the remaining bount in order to attack Soul Society. Just as Kariya is about to kill Rantao, Ishida steps in and attacks Kariya, showing his mastery of his battle artifact. Ishida then explains Yoshino's warning that pointless fighting would only destroy the bount. As Ishida's battle accessory weakens, Rantao steps in and uses Jōkaishō's power to render Kariya incapable of fighting. Though Rantao urges Ishida to shoot him, Ishida intentionally doesn't attack Kariya with his full power, afraid of hurting Rantao. Suddenly, Rantao's reiatsu goes out of control as a result of using the Bount power. Ishida uses a technique which he used in episode 14, which released excess reiatsu from Ichigo. However, this fully erodes the Quincy battle accessory and Ishida is left defenseless. As Kariya is about to kill Ishida and Rantao, Ichigo steps in and the episode ends. On a side note, the opening and ending credits for this episode up to episode 109 are changed to promote the movie Bleach: Memories of Nobody. 107 "The Swung-Down Edge! The Moment of Ruin" "Furiorosareta ha! Hametsu no shunka" (振り下ろされた刃!破滅の瞬間) December 13, 2006 Kariya is about to kill both Ishida and Rantao, but Ichigo steps in and blocks his attack. Ichigo shows off his black getsuga tenshō as he battles Kariya in bankai form. Rantao reveals that there are multiple Jōkaishō scattered throughout Soul Society. Suddenly, Maki Ichinose shows up, revealing that he had not been killed by Captain Zaraki Kenpachi after all. Ichinose attacks Ichigo, who is caught by surprise. The Gotei 13 and their respective squads have been told to re-seal all 10 of the Jōkaishō around Soul Society, in order to prevent Kariya from blowing them up simultaneously. Meanwhile, Ichinose and Ichigo fight, but then Ichinose turns his sword on Kariya, stating his true intentions for joining the Bount. Kariya kills Ichinose out of annoyance. He then reveals his doll, Messer, in the form of a wind sword. The episode ends as Rukia asks Renji to take her to the Sōkyoku hill where Ichigo and Kariya are fighting. 108 "The Wailing Bount! The Last Clash" "Dōkoku no baunto! Saigo no gekitotsu" (哭のバウント!最後の激突) December 20, 2006 The battle between Ichigo and Kariya continues. Kariya reveals his doll, Messer's true form, which utilizes wind friction that generates static electricity which becomes lightning. Kariya declares that he plans to release all of the Jōkaishō by releasing one, which will obliterate everything in Soul Society. Rukia and Renji arrive on the battle scene. Rukia proceeds to go help Ichigo, but Renji pulls her back, telling her that it is Ichigo's fight. Suddenly, Ichigo's hollow persona reveals itself momentarily in the form of an eye color change, catching Kariya by surprise. He reveals that he can no longer absorb spirit particles because Rantao sealed his absorption skills. The scene shifts to the efforts of the other squads in sealing the scattered Jōkaishō. Kariya then attempts to explode a Jōkaishō, but Byakuya Kuchiki uses his bankai to stop his attempt. Yoruichi appears at Byakuya's side, revealing their intentions to prevent Kariya from attempting to explode further Jōkaishō. Before Kariya is about to finish off Ichigo, Ichinose Maki's zanpakuto saves him by absorbing the lightning. Inoue, Chad and Ishida arrive at the scene but Rukia tells them not to help Ichigo, reflecting on how Ichigo is split between the human and spiritual worlds in a similar way Kariya Jin is, and this similarity means Ichigo may be the only one who can defeat him. They launch final attacks at each other, after which Kariya expresses his sadness at not being able to see what happens to Ichigo, and then disintegrates. This leaves Ichigo in a sense of deep thought, wondering whether Kariya's intentions all along were to end his eternal life. 109 "Ichigo and Rukia, Thoughts in the Revolving Sky" "Ichigo to Rukia, kaiten suru omoi" (一護とルキア、廻天する想い) January 4, 2007 With the threat of Kariya now gone, the group relaxes. Rukia goes back to the Kuchiki house to continue her recovery, while Ichigo and Renji discuss Kariya's life. They all go on to reminisce about their own lives; Ichigo on the days before his life-changing encounter with Rukia; Renji on his promotion to 6th Division lieutenant; and Rukia on the day she was told she would be going to the real world. Meanwhile, Koga Gowa wakes up in Rantao's home. He had survived his fight with Hitsugaya, and was found and taken back to Rantao by Yoruichi. Upon discovering he is the only remaining Bount, he apologizes for the Bounts' actions, in particular for Kariya. He remains with Rantao. The group returns to the real world, while in Karakura Town, a figure (Shinji Hirako) stands upon a post just as Rukia did the night before her encounter. [edit] The Arrancar arc EP# Title Original airdate English airdate 110 "Reopening of the Substitute Business! The Terrifying Transfer Student" "Daikōgyō saikai! Kyōfu no tenkōsei" (代行業再開!恐怖の転校生) January 10, 2007 In Hueco Mundo, the hollow Grand Fisher transforms into an imperfect arrancar and makes his way to the human world. Meanwhile, Shinji Hirako enrolls at Ichigo's school. During a routine hollow purification, Ichigo is confronted by Shinji, who shows that he can willingly produce a hollow mask just like Ichigo has done unconsciously on occasion. He asks Ichigo to join his group: the vizard. At the same time, Kon (inhabiting Ichigo's body) is attacked by Grand Fisher and Ishida is attacked by another imperfect arrancar he identifies as a Menos Grande. Ishida is rescued by his father, who reveals himself to be a Quincy, while Kon remains helpless against Grand Fisher. 111 "Shock! The True Characters of the Fathers" "Kyōgaku! Oyajitachi no shōtai" (驚愕!親父達の正体) January 17, 2007 After rescuing Ishida from the arrancar attacking him, Ryūken offers to restore his powers provided he never again associates with the shinigami. Meanwhile, Kon is still running through town in an attempt to evade Grand Fisher. Despite receiving help from Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba, he is eventually caught. Just as he is about to be killed, Isshin Kurosaki steps in to save him, dressed in shinigami clothing. Both Ichigo and Shinji become aware of a new presence, though neither are able to identify it as Isshin. Curious, Ichigo decides to leave in order to check it out, but not before turning down Shinji's invitation. After a short conversation between Grand Fisher and Isshin, during which Isshin makes it clear that he's been aware of Kon, Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba as well as Ichigo's shinigami activities, Grand Fisher transforms into a larger version of himself and draws his zanpakutō whilst mocking Isshin. Isshin casually identifies him as an arrancar and dispatches him in a single attack. 112 "The Commencement of War, Vizard and Arrancar" "Tatakai no hajimari, vaizādo to arankaru" (戦いの始まり、仮面の軍勢と破面) January 24, 2007 With the death of Grand Fisher, Urahara appears to have a short chat with Isshin. The two talk about the plans of both Aizen and the vizard, more aware of the former than the latter. Both are aware of the vizard's interest in Ichigo. After they sense Ichigo approaching, they depart to avoid being seen. Things in Soul Society are also becoming tense, though what is causing it is unclear. At school, Shinji is still following Ichigo. When Ichigo confronts him, Shinji admits that he won't give up until Ichigo agrees to join the vizard. The offer is equally out of concern for Ichigo as it is for the vizard. Shinji explains that Ichigo's inner hollow will eventually overpower him, destroying everything he cares about. Later on, Shinji is confronted by Hiyori Sarugaki, a fellow vizard, about his lack of progress. They are interrupted by Chad and Inoue, who want to know what the two want with Ichigo. Hiyori states that it is none of their business, and prepares to kill Chad and Inoue. Shinji grabs her and runs away to prevent any such thing from happening. At the Karakura hospital, Uryū formally asks Ryǔken for his own Quincy powers, swearing not to further affiliate with the shinigami. 113 "Prelude to the Apocalypse, The Arrancar's Attack" "Sekai hōkai e no jokyoku, arankaru shūrai" (世界崩壊への序曲、アランカル襲来!) January 31, 2007 After his chat with Shinji, Ichigo realizes that his inner hollow is indeed becoming more than he can control. Meanwhile, two arrancar (Yammy and Ulquiorra) arrive in Karakura Town, making a spectacular crater at their landing site. When everyone comes to see what happened, Yammy begins sucking the souls from everyone in the immediate area. Only Tatsuki Arisawa survives, and is left weakened as a result. Chad and Orihime arrive to save Tatsuki, but are easily repelled by Yammy, whose strength is great enough to bat Chad away in a single attack and reduce Tsubaki (Orihime's attack spirit) to pulp merely by blocking it. Before he can kill either of them, however, Ichigo arrives to save them. 114 "Reunion, Ichigo and Rukia" "Saikai, Ichigo to Rukia" (再会、一護とルキア) February 7, 2007 Ichigo starts his battle with Yammy, blocking Yammy's first attack and cutting off his arm. However the fight is cut short when his inner hollow interferes, allowing Yammy to gain the upper hand. Before he can kill anyone present, however, Urahara and Yoruichi arrive to take over the battle. Yammy is no match for them, and is rescued by Ulquiorra, who then retreats in Hueco Mundo. Back at Ichigo's school, a team of shinigami is dispatched in response to the ever increasing arrancar threat. The team consists of Renji Abarai, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Rangiku Matsumoto, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, and Rukia Kuchiki, all of whom are posing as new students at Ichigo's school. 115 "Mission! The Shinigami have Come" "Tokumei! Yattekita shinigamitachi" (特命!やってきた死神たち) February 14, 2007 After a harsh reintroduction to Rukia, Ichigo is dragged off in shinigami form to fight a hollow. While Ichigo attempts to deal with the hollow, Rukia berates him over his inability to defend his friends. Inspired, Ichigo easily defeats it. Rukia then drags him to Orihime so he can apologize. At Ichigo's house, Tōshirō goes over Aizen's plans and the different types of menos-class hollows. Finally, Ulquiorra and Yammy return to Hueco Mundo to report back to Aizen. 116 "The Evil Eye, Aizen Again" "Ashiki hitomi, Aizen futatabi" (悪しき瞳、藍染再び) February 21, 2007 Ulquiorra and Yammy are debriefed by Aizen and the other arrancar. Grimmjow Jaggerjack questions their actions in regards to Ichigo, but Aizen trusts in Ulquiorra's judgement and does nothing. Annoyed, Grimmjow takes a group of five arrancar with him to the human world to eliminate anyone with even a trace of spiritual power. Meanwhile, Tōshirō's team separates to find places to stay while in the human world.
