| 144 :07x01 - Ishida・Chad, the quickening of a new power (Oct/17/2007) |
| Ichigo, Sado, and Ishida burst into Hueco Mundo and find themselves inside a building that’s not quite what Ichigo imagined. Against Ishida’s judgment, Ichigo feels that it doesn’t matter if they make noise because then they can catch an enemy and find out where Inoue is. Ishida then inadvertently activates a booby trap that causes the floor to fall out, and he and Ichigo have to save Sado from falling into the hole below. Further down the hallway, Ichigo activates another trap, this time in the form of a giant rolling ball, but Sado shatters it with his punch. Shortly thereafter, the three are discovered by an Arrancar, but instead of facing him, Ishida and Sado run away, dragging Ichigo with them. Ishida has realized that they’re underground, so they can’t risk collapsing the building by fighting in the narrow hallway. Fortunately, they soon arrive in a huge circular room, though Ishida is still more interested in the exit on the far side. He never reaches those stairs up because a second Arrancar appears in front of him, and the first one soon arrives behind them.
Ichigo is ready to fight these Arrancar by himself, but Sado elbows him and insists that Ichigo be the one who steps back. Both he and Ishida think that Ichigo should save his strength until they find Inoue, and Ishida also reveals that he learned what they know about the Arrancar. Their opponents are the small and fast Iceringer and the large and strong Demoura, and in the beginning, Sado fights the former while Ishida battles with the latter. Demoura uses a technique that gathers surrounding spirit energy into his palms for attacking, and this prevents Ishida from gathering spirit energy to construct his own weapon. As Ishida is wishing that he could get more distance between himself and Demoura, he notices Sado having a hard time hitting Iceringer due to the distance between them. Because of this, Ishida stops moving and lets Sado punch Demoura instead. Ready to counterattack against a foe he’s better matched against, Ishida forms his new bow called the Ginrei Koujaku and fires off a volley.
Iceringer manages to get out of it with only a shoulder injury, but Ishida matches the Arrancar’s speed and reveals that he’s not a normal human - he’s a Quincy. His opponent responds by unleashing his Uña Tirotear attack that can rapid-fire 108 shots. This doesn’t bother Ishida at all though because his Ginrei Koujaku can do 1200, and this easily overwhelms Iceringer. Sado meanwhile has to deal with Demoura’s deadly tongue attack, however he’s able to stop it with his arm. He doesn’t like finishing off opponents who have lost their will to fight, but he realizes that this isn’t the time to be like that, so he powers up his arm for an attack he calls El Directo. | | Guest Stars: Hajime Iijima as Demōra, Hidefumi Takemoto as Iceringer, Nobuo Tobita as Narrator | Director: Noriyuki Abe Writer: Kubotite | | | |
| 145 :07x02 - The Espada Gathers! Aizen's royal assembly (Oct/24/2007) |
| After Sado defeats Demoura with his El Directo attack, a heavily injured Iceringer curses the humans, but Ishida makes it clear that he’s a Quincy. In fact, he’s kept Iceringer alive because he wants him to tell Aizen that they should fear a Quincy, not a Shinigami. Unfortunately, all this fighting appears to be causing this room to collapse, though Iceringer reveals that it’s actually collapsing because he and Demoura - the guards - were defeated. He tells them that there is no end to the battle and that there will be no victory for them, and as the chunks of the ceiling crush his body, Iceringer explains that they follow Aizen because there is nothing that he fears. Having barely managed to escape via the stairwell before the underground structure completely caved in, Ichigo and company find themselves in a desolate desert landscape. In the distance, however, is a gigantic structure that resembles a palace, and the three conclude that Inoue has to be in there somewhere, so they start heading towards it. After a long period of running however, Sado senses something and stops. A sandstorm of sorts suddenly starts, and the three get blown up into a twister, but Ishida saves them by creating a spirit barrier around them. Unfortunately, the barrier starts cracking, so Sado punches it, and the force of that ejects them from the twister.
The three’s presences have meanwhile been detected by the ten Espada who have gathered for a meeting, and Aizen soon joins them. After serving tea, Aizen presents a hologram of the three intruders and introduces them. He forbids his Espada from underestimating these three, and his talking about how these guys entered Soul Society leads to the Espada figuring out that they’re here to save Inoue. Grimmjow doesn’t want to stick around talking any longer and gets up to go kill the enemy, and although Aizen is pleased that Grimmjow would act on his behalf, he’s not done talking yet and uses his spiritual pressure to get Grimmjow to submit. Aizen then tells the other Espada that there’s no reason to make a fuss about this, so he wants them to return to their areas and wait for the enemy. He finishes by urging them not to be afraid because as long as they stay with him, there are no enemies who can stand against them. Back outside, Ichigo and the others stop for a breather because it doesn’t seem like they’re getting any closer to the palace. Ichigo suggests that it could be a mirage, and although Ishida shoots that idea down, Ichigo doesn’t care to know the explanation behind it.
Ichigo then notices a small lizard-like hollow running around, and this piques his curiosity into what that kind of Hollow eats around here. Ishida explains that Hueco Mundo has a high concentration of spirit particles in the atmosphere, so a small Hollow can be nourished just by breathing. The reason he knows about all this is because the Quincy fight by making use of the spirit particles around them, and he points out that the Arrancar will benefit from this atmosphere too. When Ishida starts going into length about how they’re not only the Arrancar’s enemies but also their food, Ichigo tunes him out and gets ready to start running again. Before he can get very far though, Ichigo senses something coming, and a giant worm-like creature suddenly emerges from the sand behind them. Along with two others Hollows, it appears to be chasing what Ichigo thinks is a human child, so Ichigo goes to save her. | | Guest Stars: Daisuke Namikawa as Ulquiorra Schiffer, Hidefumi Takemoto as Iceringer, Junichi Suwabe as Grimmjow Jaggerjack, Kenji Nomura as Yammy, Sho Hayami as Sōsuke Aizen, Tomoko Kaneda as Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Takehito Koyasu as Pesche Guatiche, Taiten Kusunoki as Zomari Le Roux, Shozo Iizuka as Old Man Espada, Rikiya Koyama as Stark, Nobutoshi Canna as Nnoitra Jiruga, Megumi Ogata as Halibel, Kousuke Toriumi as Szayel Aporro Grantz, Toshiyuki Morikawa as Tōsen Kaname, Kouji Yusa as Gin Ichimaru, Hajime Iijima as Demōra, Daisuke Gouri as Dondochakka Bilstin, Ryuuzaburou Ootomo as Aaroniero Arruruerie (deep voiced mask), Mayumi Yamaguchi as Aaroniero Arruruerie (high-pitched voice mask), Nobuo Tobita as Narrator | Director: Noriyuki Abe Writer: Kubotite | | | |
| 146 :07x03 - The Name is Nel! The appearance of the strange arrancar (Oct/31/2007) |
| In order to save the young girl, Ichigo and company beat up on the Hollows chasing her, but to their surprise, the girl yells for them to stop. It turns out that she’s an Arrancar, and this was all just a game for them. She then introduces herself as Nel Tu, her brothers are Pesche and Dondochakka (who aren’t really her brothers), and their pet is Bawabawa. Ichigo questions if they’re really Arrancar since they give a different feeling than the Arrancar who came to the real world, so Nel explains that those were the Números - the Menos Grande and higher who become Arrancar. The Números are identified by their two digits numbers and are under direct control of the Espada. It is at this point that Nel realizes that Ichigo and company are the ones who don’t look like Arrancar, and she panics when they turn out to be Shinigami, Quincy, and human because she thinks they’re the bad guys and are going to kill her.
Unsure of what to do, Nel talks with her brothers and decides to play the endless chasing game, so she steals Ichigo’s zanpaktou and starts running. Bawabawa gets Ishida and Sado running too, and the game doesn’t end until Nel trips over a tree branch. Ichigo saves her from getting buried under the others when they all trip as well, and after checking to see if she’s okay, he turns towards the palace, ready to continue heading towards it again. Nel starts crying because he’s leaving, and it is at this point that a huge Hollow called Lunuganga emerges from the sand. It quickly becomes apparent that Lunuganga is hostile, so Ichigo fires off a Getsuga Tenshou. Although this splits Lunuganga’s head in half, the Hollow is able to reform because he’s made of sand. Lunuganga can also create twisters, and one of them nearly sucks Nel in. Fortunately, Ichigo grabs her hand in time, and he Ishida, and Sado use their special abilities to destroy a twister each.
Their simultaneous attack on the giant Hollow appears at first glance to destroy Lunuganga, but a large sand pit then develops underneath their feet. Ichigo learns from Nel that Lunuganga’s weakness is water, but there is no water in this desert. Nevertheless, a blast of ice suddenly comes out of nowhere, freezes Lunuganga, and shatters him. The culprit is Rukia, and she’s arrived with Renji. The first thing the two of them do when they reach Ichigo is to hit him for coming to Hueco Mundo without waiting for them. Rukia and Renji were determined to come back from Soul Society, and she questions why Ichigo didn’t believe in them since they’re friends. Ichigo realizes that she’s right, and after a botched introduction from Nel, Pesche and Dondochakka, Ichigo and company start to resume their trek towards the palace. However, Nel insists on taking Ichigo to Las Noches, so the group rides Bawabawa through the desert instead of walking.
Along the way, Ichigo asks Rukia about the mantles that she and Renji are wearing, and he’s shocked to learn that were given by Byakuya. Reasoning that he had only been ordered to bring them back to Soul Society and nothing more than that, Byakuya had actually helped them get back to the real world, and Urahara got them to Hueco Mundo. Byakuya had also made a disparaging remark about Ichigo though, and that gets him mad. His attention, however, soon turns back to Lunuganga who has appeared again in front of them. | | Guest Stars: Tomoko Kaneda as Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Daisuke Gouri as Dondochakka Bilstin, Takehito Koyasu as Pesche Guatiche, Taketora as Lunuganga, Ryotaro Okiayu as Byakuya Kuchiki, Masaaki Tsukada as Yamamoto-Genryūsai Shigekuni, Nobuo Tobita as Narrator, | Uncredited: Kouji Yusa as Gin Ichimaru | Director: Noriyuki Abe Writer: Kubotite | | | |
| 147 :07x04 - The Forest of Menos! The Search for the Missing Rukia (Nov/07/2007) |
| With the appearance of Lunuganga again, Rukia prepares to use her zanpaktou’s second released ability, but she forgets that she’s riding on Bawabawa and hurts him while trying to do this. Lunuganga then sends them into another sand pit, and Rukia gets thrown off of Bawabawa in the process. The entire group gets sucked under the sand, and they fall into an underground cavern. Around them are giant trees similar to the ones they saw on the surface, and Ishida realizes that the ones on the surface are simply the top parts of these trees poking through the sand. Nel and her companions call this the Forest of Menos, and Ishida is reminded of how he saw a large group of Menos in the distance as they were falling into the area moments ago. He reasons that the Espada and Arrancar inhabit the surface while the Gillians and other Hollows live underground, and Nel confirms this. Unfortunately, Nel hasn’t been here before and thus doesn’t know the way back up to the surface. She starts crying because she thinks they’ll all die, but Ichigo reassures her that it’ll be fine, and Ishida suggests that there has to be a path that the Hollows use to come and go from here.
Renji then notices that Rukia isn’t with them. As it turns out, she landed in a different part of the forest and soon finds herself surrounded by Hollows. No matter how many she defeats, more show up, so Rukia starts running in search of everyone else towards a source of light in the distance. However, when she reaches the clearing, Rukia finds two Menos waiting for her, and one of them prepares to fire a Cero blast. Rukia is saved when a masked figure suddenly appears and grabs her, and he proceeds to destroy both Menos with what appears to be a zanpaktou. He then carries her through the forest and ignores her request to be let go. She manages to get free from him at one point, but he proves to be faster than her and quickly recaptures her. When she questions what he intends to do, he asks her to be patient and reveals that they’ll soon arrive at his hideout. Unbeknownst to her or to Ichigo’s group, a group of Hollows meet on the surface to discuss the disturbance in the Forest of Menos, and they find out more from Las Noches.
The masked figure soon arrives at his cave hideout, and Rukia realizes that he’s a Shinigami after all. He doesn’t respond to her question of which Division he’s with, making her think that he had left his Division. What he does reveal is that his name is Ashido, and that this is the Forest of Menos - a world where Menos reside that is nowhere near the rules of Soul Society. He then surprises Rukia by attacking her, and it quickly becomes apparent that he’s stronger then her. Ichigo and company meanwhile have started searching for Rukia, and since they can’t find her, Bawabawa suggests climbing up one of the trees to get a look from above. Ishida and Sado go up with Bawabawa, but they don’t see Rukia anywhere. They soon come under attack by hordes of Hollows from both the ground and the air, and these are followed up by several Menos. When one of the flying Hollows carries away Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka, and Ichigo can’t immediately save them because even more Menos appear. Back at Ashido’s cave, Rukia wonders if he brought her there just to kill her. When he corners her, she throws some sand at him and uses the chance to strike, but he disappears and reappears behind her, thrusting his sword at her. | | Guest Stars: Yasuyuki Kase as Ashido, Tomoko Kaneda as Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Takehito Koyasu as Pesche Guatiche, Daisuke Gouri as Dondochakka Bilstin, Taketora as Lunuganga, Nobuo Tobita as Narrator, | Uncredited: Matsutani Kaya as Matsumoto Rangiku, Katsuyuki Konishi as Shūhei Hisagi | Director: Noriyuki Abe Writer: Kubotite | | | |
| 148 :07x05 - Ashido, the Shinigami who came from the Past (Nov/14/2007) |
| After looking like he was about to kill her, Ashido reveals that he was just testing Rukia’s strength because he know how harsh this forest is, and it’s not easy to survive. He then goes outside and senses someone fighting in the distance - people that Rukia realizes are her friends. After getting Rukia’s name, the two head off together towards the battle. At that moment, Ichigo and company are having trouble with the sheer number of Gillians appearing, so they decide to run away to go save Nel and to search for Rukia instead. Since Bawabawa seems to know where Nel is, they ride off on top of him. Meanwhile, a special group of Hollows lands in the forest because of the intruders and sense that Ashido is involved too. Nearby are Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka surrounded by a group of Hollows, and they get locked up while the Hollows look for the intruders.
Ashido and Rukia soon arrive at the site of the earlier battle, and although it initially looks empty, they soon come under attack by one of the special Hollows. From his power, Rukia realizes that this Hollow could be an Adjuchas, though Ashido doesn’t have too much trouble avoiding his fists. When Ashido manages to hit him, the Hollow calls forth numerous Gillians and directs them all to fire Cero blasts. After avoiding the first blast wave with Rukia, Ashido uses one of the Hollow masks on his back as a shield for the second one and kills the Hollow. He also takes care of all the Gillians in one fell swoop and then confirms that they just fought an Adjuchas. However, he notes that these Adjuchas only appeared recently and wonders if something happened in Soul Society. Remembering everything that took place with Aizen, Rukia tells him that Soul Society isn’t ironclad and that various bad things occurred.
As they make their way through the forest, the two take down a few more Gillians, and Ashido gets to see more of Rukia’s power. When Rukia asks Ashido about his mask, he takes it off and reveals that he came here chasing Hollows many hundreds of years ago. Although he knows there’s an exit out of the forest, he doesn’t leave because he feels that as a Shinigami, it’s his duty to get rid of the Hollows who would otherwise appear in the real world. However, from the look on Rukia’s face, Ashido realizes that the amount of Hollows appearing in the real world hasn’t decreased at all. Elsewhere in the forest, Pesche and Dondochakka decide to use the fact that Nel is an Arrancar to get their captors to bow down to them and so that they can find out where the exit is. Unfortunately for them, the Adjuchas know better and stop them because they want to use Nel for their own plan.
Ashido meanwhile brings Rukia to the spot where he and his comrades first appeared when they got here. They had chased some Hollows through a dimensional tear and arrived in the forest to find themselves surrounded. His group was eventually overwhelmed, and Ashido watched his friends fall one by one. Enraged, Ashido had picked up a Hollow mask and continued fighting on his own in order both to protect human souls and to keep the promise to fight that he made with his companions. Since he now knows that he hasn’t made much of a difference in the number of Hollows appearing in the real world, he suggests that she go back to Soul Society with her friends because he doesn’t need reinforcements. Rukia, however, reveals that she has a friend who’s being held in Las Noches, and she’s confident that they’ll be able to save her with everyone’s power. When she asks him why he brought her here, Ashido explains that he just wanted his buried friends to hear the voice of a Shinigami.
The two then detect Ichigo fighting again, so they make their way towards where they thing the battle is, but they find no one there. This turns out to be a trap by one of the Adjuchas who has brought an entire contingent of Gillians with him. Rukia and Ashido concentrate on the Adjuchas, but in dodging one of the Gillians’ cero blasts, Rukia leaves herself open to the Adjuchas’ attack. Remembering how his friend had died, Ashido jumps between them, and the hit shatters his mask. | | Guest Stars: Daisuke Gouri as Dondochakka Bilstin, Takehito Koyasu as Pesche Guatiche, Tomoko Kaneda as Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Yasuyuki Kase as Ashido, Nobuo Tobita as Narrator, | Uncredited: Kouji Yusa as Gin Ichimaru | Director: Noriyuki Abe Writer: Kubotite | | | | | | |

| 215 :10x01 - Defend Karakura Town! Entire Appearance of the Shinigami (Apr/14/2009) | | Aizen, Tousen, and Gin arrive in Karakura town and are greeted by the remaining captains of the Gotei 13 and their lieutenants. Aizen states how he is aware that he is not in the real Karakura Town and says that after slaughtering them, he will make the King's Key in Soul Society. He says that Las Noches is in Ulquiorra's hands, at which Ulquiorra appears in the throne room behind Orihime. His appearance is sensed by Ichigo and he rushes to the 5th tower where Ulquiorra and Orihime are located. It then shows a young plus girl being chased by hollow in Kagamino City, 22km from Karakura Town, when suddenly the hollows are killed simply by the reiatsu of the Gotei 13 captains, Aizen, and his top Espada. A shinigami assigned to the area tells the girl to run before she is attacked again, then questions how the battle will end. It then goes back to the battle where the captains talk amongst themselves, when suddenly the captain-commander says for everyone to get back as he unleashes his shikai to trap Aizen, Tousen, and Gin. Back in Las Noches, Ulquiorra talks to Orihime, asking if she is scared. She replies that she isn't scared. Ichigo is temporarily delayed by the exequias and their leader, Rudobone.

| 216 :10x02 - Elite! The Four Shinigamis (Apr/21/2009) | | Ichigo arrives in the 5th Tower to save Orihime and confronts Ulquiorra, who tells him that because Aizen has not ordered Orihime killed, he shall not do it unless ordered to. But because Ichigo is a threat to Hueco Mundo that must be destroyed, he will kill him. As a result, Ulquiorra finally unsheathes his sword and they begin their battle. Meanwhile, back at the fake Karakura, Barragan takes command since his boss is locked inside Yamamoto's fire prison, ordering both Halibel and Stark to not underestimate him. His first plan of action is to destroy the four pillars protecting Karakura, and he sends out four giant hollows to do the job, failing to realize that the Gotei 13 would not just leave those pillars completely unprotected on purpose. Ikkaku, Yumichika, Kira and Hisagi each take one pillar, and after defeating the hollows with ease, are matched up against four of Barragan's six Fraccion. Each is introduced to the other and the battle for Karakura begins. | | | |
| 217 :10x03 - Beautiful Warrior Charlotte (Apr/28/2009) | | In the fire prison that Yamamoto's zanpakuto created, Gin notices that Kira is pretty upset. Tosen asks him what is wrong, and if he misses Kira, because he used to be his captain. Gin states that he doesn't, he's just glad that Kira is doing well. At his fight, Kira manages to draw blood against his opponent, Avirama Redder, who proceeds to release his zanpakuto, Aguila. Meanwhile, Yumichika and his opponent, Charlotte Cuulhorne, the sadistic, erotic, strange, feminine arrancar, continue their fight, but eventually it turns out to be more of a "beauty contest" than an actual fight, because of the fact that the two spar for the sake of making the other look disgraced because of the other's ugliness. Charlotte uses an array of attacks, summoned up by a ridiculously long name each time. When Yumichika manages to cut some of Charlotte's hair off, that pushes him over the edge and releases his sword, "Reina de Rosas" which means "Queen of the Roses". Now on equal strength with Yumichika, the two fight more seriously, until Charlotte traps Yumichika in a prison of black thorns, which will completely encase him and his reiatsu, cutting him off from the world. But since he is in a spot where no one will know, Yumichika reveals a secret attack of his zanpakuto he doesn't want anyone to know about, and with it, he defeats Charlotte. | | | |
| 218 :10x04 - Kira, The Battle Within Despair (May/05/2009) | | Yumichika reveals that he uses a "nickname" for his zanpakuto to avoid revealing its kido-based abilities so that he can fit in with the 11th Division, and Cuulhorne is impressed by his resolve to avoid revealing its true nature to others even if he would die. The other fights continue elsewhere, and Findor reveals to Hisagi that he can chip off pieces of his mask to increase his power level. Izuru fights Avirama, whose Resurrecion turns him into a bird and enables him to attack Izuru with heavy steel feathers. Izuru uses Wabisuke to make Avirama's wings too heavy to fly, and reveals that it represents the 3rd Division's belief that war is full of despair. He then decapitates Avirama as he begs for his life, noting afterward that he does not want to be forgiven. | | | |
| 219 :10x05 - Hisagi's Shikai! The Name is... (May/12/2009) | | Hisagi has difficulty fighting his opponent, Findor Carias, despite technically being on the same level of power. When Findor releases his zanpakuto Pinza Aguda and corners Hisagi with blasts of water, Hisagi reluctantly releases his zanpakuto Kazeshini despite his dislike for its appearance as a weapon for killing. With his zanpaktou released Hisagi overpowers Findor, seeing this Findor breaks off 90% of his mask, now making him as strong as a captain (according to him), but Hisagi easily damages him leaving Findor paralyzed with fear. After overpowering Findor, Hisagi explains how he is inferior to him because he has no fear of his own power. Findor makes a desperate attempt to defeat Hisagi with a cero, but is killed by Hisagi´s zanpaktou. Unfortunately, Barragan's fourth Fraccion, Choe Neng Poww, is able to defeat Ikkaku and destroy the pillar he had been guarding. | | | |
| 220 :10x06 - Ikkaku Falls! The Shinigami's Crisis (May/19/2009) | | As a result of the pillar being destroyed, the real Karakura town starts to return, but Seventh Division lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba manages to stop it while his captain Saijin Komamura face Poww. Poww knocks Komamura aside with a single punch in his unreleased state, and releasing his zanpakuto, vastly increases his size and tries to finish off Ikkaku and Iba. Komamura, however, manages to overpower and defeat him easily with his bankai. Iba reprimands Ikkaku for failing to protect the pillar as a result of his desire to avoid revealing his own strength, and tells him that if he wishes to fight, he must carry out his orders even at the cost of his own life. Barragan grows visibly angry as a result of four of his Fraccions' defeat. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
