And then Ichigo appears apparently from nowhere and try to save his sister on the other hand, Karin is still a hostage. The shinigami that was fighting Rukia appears, and Ichigo suddenly notices a human-like figure in front of the hollow. He identifies it as the figure he ran after the day his mother died. Ichigo suddenly places that the hollow was there the day his mom died six years ago. Now, Ichigo Kurosaki is facing a hollow that killed his mother, and been furious enough to carelessly attack at him, who has evaded the Shinigami for over 50 years called “Grand Fisher”.

As she speaks to Ichigo Kurosaki with thankfulness before she disappears along with the doll, “she was proud to have known her family, and begs Ichigo to live, be strong, be gentle, and to smile”. However, this appendage suddenly remembers Masaki’s dying wish, and hearing that wish, Ichigo is inspired and manages to defeat the Hollow, although not killing it. Before it ends this episode, Ichigo Kurosaki had begging to be a “Shinigami” even just in temporary for him to protect and help other people who needs on him.
