A newly posted soul reaper arrives in Karakura Town to fill Rukia's old beat, only to discover the locals have taken monster-hunting into their own hands. A costumed variety star and a pack of children dispatch a Hollow before he can lift a finger.
Summary
Zennosuke Kurumadani presents himself as the replacement patrolman assigned to Karakura Town after Rukia's arrest, admitting that something has nagged at him ever since he took the post. His Denreishinki soon chimes with an alert warning of a Hollow loose in the district.
Key Events
Before he can respond, Don Kanonji and Karin Kurosaki charge the creature, battering it with a glowing Kanonball and a rocketing soccer ball. Jinta Hanakari swats the stunned Hollow like a home run with his iron club, and Ururu Tsumugiya finishes it under a storm of cannon fire, the self-styled Karakura Superheroes cheering their latest win.
