History
When Ichigo and Renji arrive at the palace, the pair pin Ichigo under the healing water on Kirinji's order, struggling to keep their grip as he bursts free after more than a minute. Once Kirinji judges the two visitors ready, Kazuo and Kazuhiro launch them off toward the next palace. Allowed at last to shed their protective garments, they reveal skin scorched by the springs and marvel that Ichigo and Renji lasted so long in the ponds, noting that without their special kimono the waters would have made them rot away entirely.
