For their match, Ishida proposes that he and Ichigo use a special bait to attract hollows, and whichever one of them can defeat the most within 24 hours will be the winner. Ichigo objects that this would endanger the townspeople, but Ishida boasts that he can kill every hollow that appears all by himself, and scatters the bait. Ichigo is furious, but Ishida points out that he had better release him and begin defending the town from the coming onrush of hollows. He also reminds Ichigo that hollows prefer to prey on those with unusual spiritual powers, which Ichigo realizes would mean his sisters are in jeopardy. At school, Tatsuki ponders the ability she has gained to see ghosts, and also the identical dreams which she and Orihime seem to have shared. Meanwhile, Ishida has taken the lead as he despatches eleven hollows in rapid succession. At Urahara's place, Rukia wonders why her Spirit Phone is getting so many hollow readings, and why they then disappear just as quickly. Chad comes under attack by a hollow, and teams up with Karin to fight it off... |
