Kariya sends the Bountou to confront Ichigo and the others, to test there new strength. Renji is struggling with his fight, but the Bitto are withdrawn to make way for the Bountou. Suddenly, Renji collapses and everyone notices that his spirit energy has disappeared. As Ichigo notices this, Ururu and Jinta come running to deliver the finished Bountou sensor. Ururu and Jinta explain that as Urahara was rushed, he wasn’t able to do a very good job on the device. The sensor would only last 15 minutes once it was activated. Ichigo puts the sensor on (which is in the form of a head band) and mutters a few embarrassing lines to turn it on. The sensor activates and begins to drag Ichigo in the direction of the Bountou. Ichigo goes alone as Rukia decides to go after Renji.

Meanwhile, Keigo (one of Ichigo’s friends) has just come out of a convenience store, eating junk food. He runs into the Bitto and gets struck down by them. As the Bitto suck his soul out, Ichigo arrives and destroys them. The remaining Bitto fly away, as Koga Gowa (the large Bountou with headphones around his neck) approaches and quickly summons his Doll, Daruku. As Daruku forms, Ichigo notices that the Doll’s form has changed slightly, which is due to Gowa’s increase in power. Ichigo fights but is easily pummelled.

As the battle continues, Rukia, Ururu and Jinta meet up wit Inoue and Cloud. They plan to split up, but are interrupted by another Bountou. Ichigo continues fighting Daruku, defending Keigo at the same time. Ichigo tells Keigo that he’ll save him, but Keigo responds (which means he can see him, but Ichigo is in his spirit form, so humans shouldn’t be able to see him). Gowa reasons that Keigo must be near death to be able to see Ichigo. Keigo suddenly becomes silent. Ichigo, now enraged, uses the Getsuga Tenshou (one of his special techniques) and cuts Daruku in half. This does nothing as Daruku simply recombines. Ichigo becomes constrained and seemingly uses an explosion of reiastu (spirit energy) to break free.

Ururu finds Chad and Nova and tells them that they should go and help Ichigo. However, they also encounter a Bountou, the old guy with the walking stick.

Back to Ichigo. It seems that Ichigo didn’t explode and was just Ririn’s illusion. Ririn tells Ichigo to run for it, but he insists that he’ll save Keigo. They get discovered and the fight resumes. Daruku forms a web of steel around Ichigo, sealing him inside. Daruku then begins whipping him and laughing evilly. Ichigo drops to his knees, seemingly in defeat. Daruku picks up Ichigo’s soul slayer and tries to stab him. At that moment, something changes in Ichigo. His Hollow side returns! Ichigo easily stops Daruku by grabbing the blade with his bare hands. Gowa and Daruku notice the sudden change in power. Daruku is quickly overwhelmed by Ichigo. Just when it seems like Ichigo is going to win, his Shinigami side retakes control over his body. Ichigo, drained of all his energy, collapses. Daruku then prepares the finishing attack.

Jinta finds Renji unconscious on the ground (he really does care!)
