Synopsis

After failing to protect his friends, Ichigo approaches the Visored for training, asking Shinji and the Hollowfied Soul Reapers to teach him how to control the hollow dwelling within.

Former 12th Division lieutenant Hiyori engages Ichigo in combat, but before she completely defeats him, Ichigo's hollow emerges. The Visored are able to suppress the monster, but Shinji orders Ichigo to fight his hollow self, a battle that renders Ichigo unconscious and allows his unimpeded transformation into a hollow.

Meanwhile, Soul Society Gotei 13 leader Yamamoto Genryūsai divulges Aizen's true objective to 10th Division captain Hitsugaya Toshiro: the rogue Shinigami plans to vanquish the Soul Society monarch by destroying Ichigo's hometown and using the resulting release of spiritual power to create a key to the Soul Society king's inner sanctum.
