On the first day back at school, Renji shows up unannounced, dressed in his out-dated seventies' fashion. Since things have settled down in the Soul Society, Renji has been sent to Karakura Town to oversee the eradication of Hollows, and Ichigo has no choice but to work with him....

Ichigo and his friends meet at school and set out to look for Orihime the day after her disappearance. It seems that her school chums have lost all memories of her existence. The only clue that Ichigo and the others find at the site of her disappearance is a bizarre, round footprint. Renji gets a call on his Soul Pager telling him, "I have your friend. You'll get her back if you win."

After Chad's kidnapping, Ichigo and the others go to Urahara to explain their predicament. Ichigo receives a phone call from Lirin who instructs Ichigo to bring all of his friends to the Karakura Museum.

Lirin sets in place a giant gate that begins to devour everything in Karakura Town. The only way to have Chad released and save the town is to destroy the gate. Ichigo and the others have only thirty minutes before the gate sucks up everything in the vicinity. Meanwhile, Yoruichi and Soifon discover a strange soul wandering the streets of the World of the Living.

New information has come to light regarding an unusual race known as Bounts. Kisuke Urahara explains that Bounts are beings that gain eternal life by absorbing the souls of humans. Urahara warns Ichigo that he and his friends may be in danger because Bounts tend to target humans with high-level abilities. Lirin, Noba, and Kurodo prove to be very useful when it's revealed that they all contain...

As Ichigo and his friends try to fight off Ho and Ban, the two Bounts, Udagawa tries to persuade Yoshino, a renegade bount, to return to Master Kariya's fold.

Yoshino finds Uryu and takes him back to her home to protect him. There, she reveals to Uryu her difficult life as a Bount and hope she had been given by Kariya.

Thrown together by fate, Uryu and Yoshino find themselves strange allies in a desperate fight against Koga and his feminine killing machine, Dalc.

Ichigo, Rukia, Ririn, Noba, and Kurodo enter Jin Kariya's mansion and come face to face with him and the other Bounts. As Ichigo challenges Udagawa. Rukia rushes deeper into the mansion to rescue Uryu.

In the depths of Kariya's mansion, Ichigo faces off against Maki Ichinose, a soul reaper formerly of Squad 11. But before he can cast the final blow on Ichigo, Kariya steps in and approaches Ichigo.

His confidence lost from battling Kariya, Ichigo undergoes more training with Ganju and Renji to regain his courage.

Yoshino leaves Urahara's Shop and heads for Kariya's mansion to finally destroy him once and for all.

In preparation for the Bounts' next attack, Lirin, Kurodo and Noba set up a bunch of traps, specifically designed for catching Bounts.

The Bounts have released an army of Bittos, soul-sucking monsters, throughout Karakura Town. With the Stealth Force unable to capture them, Hitsugaya puts together a team of soul reapers to head up to the World of the Living and stop them.

Kariya sends his fellow Bounts to stop Ichigo and his friends. After Ichigo stops a Bitto from taking Keigo's soul, he's attacked by Koga and his doll Dalc, filled with new power she received from the Bittos.

Deeply engaged in battle, Koga warns Ichigo that if he doesn't back down soon, his life will be snuffed out. But Ichigo is never one to back down from a challenge...
