Bleach: Memories of Nobody is an animated film, directed by Noriyuki Abe and written by Masashi Sogo, based on the anime and manga series Bleach.It debuted in Japanese theaters on December 16, 2006. It is set immediately after the Soul Society rescue arc, as Ichigo returns to the real world. This places it during the same time frame as the anime-only Bount arc. The DVD is slated to be released in Japan on September 5, 2007.
In Karakura Town, unidentifiable spirits called "blanks" (vacant souls) begin appearing en masse. While attempting to deal with these strange souls, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki meet Senna, a mysterious shinigami who wipes out most of them fairly quickly. Senna is evasive about her squad assignment, so Ichigo is forced to follow her while Rukia tries to find out what's going on.
Meanwhile, in Soul Society, the real world is suddenly reflected in the sky, so Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto are sent to investigate. They meet up with Ichigo in the real world, who has lost track of Senna by this point. They discuss the events at the Urahara Shop, where Kisuke Urahara explains the reason for the strange occurrences. He explains that a soul caught between the two worlds is acting as a conduit, linking them together.
After finding Senna again, the two spent most of the evening together, with Senna being fascinated by just about everything in sight. However, she begins to remember when she died, and decides to visit her grave. There, she is attacked by a mysterious group of people wearing vaguely shinigami-like clothing and sporting odd weaponry.
