Ganju rushes away on his boar, telling Ichigo not to run away. The next day, Chad, Orihime and Ishida are wondering how Shiba Kuukaku looks like. Ichigo refuses to go with them, thinking to wait for Ganju. Yoruichi literally scratches sense back into his head and they set off to Kuukaku’s. Little did they know that Kuukaku was a woman and not a man, and that Ganju was her little brother. She is also Rukongai’s number 1 fireworks maker, and she intends to get them into the Seireitei via the sky.
