The episode starts with Matsumoto Rangiku leaping across the rooftops, in search for the other three Shinigami who came to the real world with her. As she is moving, she sees Chad’s group on the ground. Chad is with Ururu, Nova and the old-looking Bountou. Matsumoto, not knowing that the old guy is the enemy, jumps down and cheerfully greets Chad. She asks them what they are doing and Chad points at the Bountou, indicating he is their enemy. She doesn’t believe him at first, but then the Bountou releases his Doll and disappears into the ground. The Bountou resurfaces riding a whale. Matsumoto tries to attack the doll as it is underground (but actually in another dimension) and gets her Zanpakutou stuck in the concrete. The doll is about to swallow her but she is saved by Nova’s warping ability. Mastumoto thanks Nova but he zips up his mask. Matsumoto gets annoyed but it is actually because Nova is blushing.

The doll, Baura, resurfaces and the Bountou informs Chad and the others about Baura’s space-manipulating ability. Baura is able to make rips between dimensions and move freely between them. The Bountou also comments on Nova’s similar ability, but stating that his doll’s capabilities are far better than Nova’s. Matsumoto, tired of speaking, releases her Zanpakutou, Haineko. The blade turns to dust and sweeps toward the enemy. Baura opens its mouth, preparing to swallow the dust. Seeing the danger, Matsumoto quickly recalls her Soul Slayer. The Bountou explains that Baura’s mouth leads to another dimension, so if it had sucked in the dust, Matsumoto would have lost her weapon.

Matsumoto takes out a voice transmitter linked to Soul Society. She asks to freeze all dimensional space for a 360 degree radius around her current location and to protect the souls within. She also asks the same thing for the other vice-captains. She is then informed of Renji’s bad condition.

Chad materialises his weapon (the glove-like thing which I don’t know the name of) and attacks the doll, but misses as Baura shifts into another dimension. It resurfaces under Chad (which seems to be its only means of attack) but he is able to detect the doll’s presence just in time. Matsumoto jumps into the air and uses Destructive Art 4: White Lightning (the one that Kuchiki Byakuya used on Ichigo during their fight), but Baura evades the attack. Matsumoto continues firing, but Nova informs her that it is futile to attack the Bountou while it is in another dimension. It then goes for Chad again. Chad fires his (whatever it’s called) beam, but the doll simply swallows it. Matsumoto pulls him out of the way, into the air, but Baura changes direction and leaps into the sky as well. They are saved by Ururu leaping to impossible heights and kneeing the doll into the ground.

The group retreat the rooftops of nearby high-rise buildings, thinking that they are safe their. Matsumoto asks Nova if he can detect the Bountou while he is in another dimension. Nova replies that he can only detect him while is just about to return to this dimension. Chad asks how the enemy can detect where they are and Nova suggests that he is using something similar to sonar. Matsumoto asks if they can trace this back to the Bountou, but Nova says it is too weak. They give up on the idea. Suddenly, Baura appears by coming through a nearby building, lunging straight at Chad. Ururu pushes him out of the way but ends up being eaten by the doll.

Chad, Nova and Matsumoto make a run for it, but the Bountou returns in front of them. Matsumoto releases her Zanpakutou again and carves out a slab of the roof they are standing on, making them fall several stories below. It also slices through a billboard above, causing it to fall on top of the Bountou. The Bountou evades the falling object, giving the others a chance to escape. Nova leads Matsumoto and Chad into a narrow alley, informing them that Baura can’t reach small spaces. Chad is feeling responsible for Ururu’s demise, thinking about how useless his powerful fists are. Nova comes up with a plan, saying he will force the Bountou into his own dimension. This would cancel out the dimension in Baura’s stomach and free Ururu.

Matsumoto steps out into the open, calling for the Bountou. For a short period of time, nothing happens. Baura appears underneath Matsumoto and she uses her Shunpo to evade the attack. After several more attacks, it looks like Baura has caught Matsumoto, but she has jammed the doll’s mouth open with her Zanpakutou. As the doll struggles to spit (or swallow) her out, Chad grabs its tail and begins to swing it around. He throws Baura straight at Nova, who attempts to suck him into his own dimension. The Bountou counters, but then Chad comes and punches Baura, forcing him into Nova’s dimension. At first it seems as if they have won, but Baura creates another dimension rift and reappears from out of Nova’s chest.

The Bountou approaches Matsumoto, Chad and the fallen Nova, telling them that they are 100 years too young to seal him away. He then tells them that he will finish them off.

Note: There will be no bleach next week. Bleach episode 87 will air in 2 weeks, on the 4th of July.
