The show starts between the beginning match of Ichigo and Ishida, in which Ishida scatters anti-Hollow bait, luring a multitude of Hollows to Karakura town. While Ishida stands on a bridge shooting down Hollows as soon as they appear, Ichigo is running around trying to find his sisters, who have high spiritual power, which Hollows target. Chad is also chased by a Hollow, and as he runs, he ends in the place where Karin is. He takes on the Hollow and discovers his powers, though he is badly injured because of the fight.
Despite of his condition, he asks Karin if she is okay, and she returns the only one hurt is he, the stupid one. While Chad thinks this is “good”, Karin obviously thinks otherwise and kicks him, asking him what’s so good about it, as it was already bad if anyone got harm at all. She thinks Chad’s logic is a show-off’s logic, similar to Ichigo’s. She gets all worked up, and tells him to stay put while she gets her dad. Chad thinks that Karin is exactly like Ichigo… in the way she kicks.
Meanwhile, Orihime, Tatsuki and Chizuru are cleaning up the shattered window glass, and at the same time as Tatsuki and Chizuru are sweeping up the glass, Orihime is staring up at the roof. There, appears a Hollow.
