Ichimaru Gin, 3rd Squad Captain, deals with the Ryoka and Jidanbou swiftly with his Zanpakutou, sending them out the gate and back into Rukongai. Orihime makes use of her powers to heal up Jidanbou, and Chad meets Shibata the cockatiel. Yoruichi tells the gang that they’re not going to try entering by the gate anymore, but rather, by way of Shiba Kuukaku. Just then, a man riding a boar bursts into the room, and seeing Ichigo, starts to fight with him as he hates Shinigami.
