Episode 75
Still deciding when to go and face Kariya, the tremendous bount named Koga Gowa breaks through the door to Yoshino’s loft. Koga has been sent to bring Yoshino and Ishida to Kariya, but Yoshino will not let him without a fight. After bringing forth her fire doll, Koga also brings out his doll, Dalk, which consists of a collection of metallic objects that can take many forms. Capturing Ishida and Yoshino, Koga leaves before Ichigo and company can find them. However, the modified souls are able to track the Bounts’ spiritual power if they change into their gigai form, which they hadn’t thought of doing until then.
Meanwhile in Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has called a meeting of all the captains and their vice captains. Someone has hacked into Mayuri’s databank and stolen from it, also laying out a trap that if he tried to access it, the data would be locked. Mayuri is deeply upset over the matter and believes that there is a traitor amongst them. Afterwards, Kenpachi tells Yachiru that he is also suspicious of these events because after years of searching they’ve just recently found Maki Ichinose. But he is confused about how the two are related.
Using the modified soul’s tracking abilities, Ichigo and the others find that the bount have taken Ishida to an exclusive large mansion, where Kariya is making his introduction. Kariya wants to borrow Ishida’s powers when the time comes to make the world better for the Bount and Quincy. But Ishida is suspicious of Kariya, who believes that he simply wants to gain the power of the hollow world.
Episode 76
Ichigo’s group is having a tough time navigating through the mansion thanks to Ugaki’s strange eyeball-like dolls that keep getting in Ichigo’s way. However, they have just been leading them to Kariya, who welcomes Ichigo. Kariya surprises Ichigo with his knowledge about him and Rukia, but Ichigo doesn’t let it faze him and tells Kariya that he came to take Ishida back.
Ichigo tells Rukia and the others to go and find Ishida while he deals with the bount. Rukia and the modified souls managed their way upstairs and are heading towards Ishida’s spiritual energy. But they are stopped by Maki Ichinose. The three modified souls are easily defeated by Ichinose, who saw through their abilities easily. Rukia tries using a kidō spell, but Ichinose blocks it with his zanpakutō. He is still deeply disturbed by the method Kenpachi Zaraki used to become the captain of the 11th division, as it effectively shattered his life. But he also says that Jin Kariya gave him a reason to live again, and now he wields his zanpakutō for him. However, upon feeling Ichigo’s power rise, Ichinose becomes concerned for Kariya and runs to his aide.
Udagawa is up first to fight Ichigo. Using a technique called the snake net, Ichigo is eventually surrounded by snakes even after using flash steps (shunpo) and is launched into a wall. As Udagawa’s doll poises to strike again, Ichigo uses his getsuga tenshō. Udagawa then uses this chance created by Ichigo to betray Kariya and take his seal, however, even without his seal, Kariya is still strong enough to block Udagawa’s doll. Ichinose also shows up and defeats Udagawa easily after using his shikai. Afterwards, Ichinose starts to fight with Ichigo, as Ichigo had fought Kenpachi and defeated him.

The fight with Hō and Ban is far from over, as it is raining outside of the hospital. Attacking the massive pillars of water, Ichigo, Renji and Rukia are quickly swallowed up by the water dolls as Chad and Orihime quickly try and get Ishida to safety. Giving up on drowning Ichigo and the others, the twins decide to go after Ishida. Attacking Chad and Orihime, the twins seem to be gaining the upper hand, even when Chad uses his armor. Chad eventually goes after the twins and splits them apart, but unexpectedly their dolls collapse revealing that they have to combine their powers using telepathy in order to control their dolls.
Hō and Ban quickly gain an advantage again though, forcing Ichigo and the others to drink their dolls, allowing them to rip their bodies apart from the inside out. However, Noba uses his power to move Hō and Ban far enough away from each other and weaken their control of their dolls. Ganju and Hanatarō also arrive soon after, and Ganju uses his fireworks to destroy the water dolls. In the process Hō and Ban are turned to ash. Ichigo and company have destroyed the twin bount, but now Ishida has gone missing.
Episode 74
As Ishida wanders aimlessly away from his friends, he runs into Yoshino again, who takes him back to her place and fixes him some coffee. Yoshino tells Ishida that sometimes when you live too long you’ll start thinking crazy thoughts, and that sometimes, Bount like Kariya will enact on those thoughts. Meanwhile, Kariya has called all the remaining bount together. Informing them that he has found a Quincy, and that their time has come for them to start a new shining era.
In Soul Society, the entire 11th division is excited about the sudden presence of a former member, Maki Ichinose. However Kenpachi Zaraki wants nothing to do with it, and tells everyone to just leave him alone. Kenpachi’s thoughts flashback to when Ichinose once stood up against him when Kenpachi killed the former 11th Division captain in battle and was recognized as the new captain. Afterwards, Ichinose requested to leave the 11th Division as he no longer had a reason for being there, the only captain he would ever take orders from was gone. He now serves Jin Kariya unquestionably, which Udagawa thinks is nothing but the easy way out.

Episode 68
Ichigo and the others are ready for the final game against the modified souls. Approaching the massive gate, the group is sucked in as Ichigo fails to use his bankai. After putting Chad into a giant hourglass, Ririn tells Ichigo and company that they have 5 minutes to defeat them and save Chad. Ichigo tries to use his bankai again, but still cannot.
The hourglass breaks after this second attempt, and Chad is revealed to be completely unharmed. Ichigo then realizes that Urahara had created all of this to help the group come together and fight as one since Ichigo cannot simply rely on his bankai all the time. Urahara also found it necessary to bring the group together since Ishida has lost his powers as a Quincy.
Meanwhile, Yoruichi and Soifon have been dealing with the Bount phenomenon. Finding the remains of a soul, they rush away to the site of another attack. Arriving before the soul can be eaten, Yoruichi transforms and stops a strange woman from sucking out a soul from its body.
Episode 69
At the Urahara shop, the Bount are discussed more in depth. They are humans, but like the Quincy, they also have special powers. By absorbing human souls they can live forever, but these souls are usually already dead. When a bount eats a live soul, they gain extra power and leave the complete death of a soul without the chance of reincarnation.
Because the bount might attack Ichigo or his friends, Urahara has sent the modified souls with them for support as they all have spirit sensors. Kuroud with Orihime, Noba with Chad, and Ririn with Ichigo. It isn’t soon after putting the modified souls in their respective dolls that they sense a bount.
Ichigo and Ririn go after the female bount Yoruichi had fought (later called Yoshino), while Chad and Orihime find themselves facing a man who looks like a vampire (Udagawa). While Udagawa leaves before Orihime or Chad can do anything, Ichigo quickly chases Yoshino into a corner and faces off against her fiery doll, Geite.
