History
During the Agent of the Shinigami arc, Kaneda is gaming with Hashigami and Ino when the three grumble that Karin snaps at them over botched kicks in gym. Their session breaks off abruptly as Kon, wearing Ichigo's body, drops in and wrecks their console before dashing away. A gym teacher soon rounds on the boys, waves off their account of events, and orders them to tidy the mess. Midway through the cleanup a Hollow sets upon them, and Kon rushes back to their defense; bloodied at the shoulder, he screams at the panicked kids to flee, and they scatter in tears.
