Bleach (English Dubbed)

A new captain joins Squad Three, taking the place of the rebel Gin Ichimaru. His name is Shusuke Amagai. Shusuke is an unknown captain who was away on a long-term assignment and has only recently returned to the Seireitei.

In the middle of the night, a strange Senkaimon opens in Karakura Town, and a mysterious team of three arrives in the World of the Living. That morning, when Ichigo and Rukia go to school, they get word of a Hollow sighting.

A mysterious team of three transfers into Ichigo's class. Their names are Rurichiyo Kasumiohji, Kenryu, and Enryu. Rurichiyo acts like a princess, and Kenryu and Enryu obsessively guard her surroundings. Ichigo is clearly suspicious of the three of them, but the rest of his classmates welcome them without question.

Ichigo and Rukia assume the responsibility of being Rurichiyo's bodyguard. It is Rurichiyo's first time in the World of the Living, and she asks Ichigo to teach her about everything she sees. Rukia takes Rurichiyo out to play. Kenryu and Enryu cry tears of joy at seeing Rurichiyo have fun in the World of the Living...

Since welcoming Shusuke Amagai as the new captain, Squad Three has been hard at work. But the duties Shusuke assigns them are tasks that one couldn't imagine a Soul Reaper doing. Izuru Kira senses the dissatisfaction of the squad members, and as Lieutenant, he decides to advise the new captain.

One morning, Rurichiyo suddenly disappears. Kenryu finds some indication that leads him to believe that she used the Kasumiohji Clan's private Senkaimon to return to the Soul Society. He heads back to the Soul Society along with Ichigo and Rukia to look for Rurichiyo.

Ichigo returns to the World of the Living, and he draws up a countermeasure at Kisuke Urahara's shop. According to Kisuke, there is a shortage of a kind of Reishi that is used as a raw material for merchandise at the shop. He says it is not a natural phenomenon, but that it is highly likely that someone is behind it all.

Hanza Nukui, the leader of Gyokaku Kumoi's assassins, has misjudged the power of Ichigo and his friends, and has failed to assassinate Rurichiyo. He forms a unit of assassins, armed with powerful Bakkouto swords, and prepares to go back to the World of the Living.

Hanza Nukui and his team of assassins, armed with Bakkoutos, arrive in the World of the Living, and they challenge Ichigo and the others to fight. When Ichigo and Hanza take off to fight one on one, a creepy assassin, Jinnai Douko, appears before Rurichiyo, wielding a Bakkouto.

The respective battles of Rukia, Uryu, and Chad continue. Jinnai Douko becomes one with his Bakkouto, Retsurai, and keeps attacking. Rukia has a tough battle against Jinnai, whose whole body transforms into a weapon. Uryu, who is fighting against Kuzuryu, is trapped inside a sea of mist...

Hanza Nukui uses his Bakkouto, Saiga's weak point, to act as a trap for Ichigo. Ichigo ends up getting caught in Hanza's scheme, an expanse of mirrors. The mirrors take the memories of the captive and turn them into nightmares.

At a captain's meeting in the Soul Society, Shusuke Amagai proposes to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads that they train directly with the squads. But Kenpachi Zaraki and Mayuri Kurotsuchi speak out against the idea, and the captains object due to their lack of interest.
