When Ichigo returns, the two substitute soul reapers receive a call from the research and development squad of the soul society. They inform them that the soul society had been attacked almost an hour ago at two different places. Seven masked unknown assailants who claimed to be a group called Vanderweich had infiltrated the commander general Genryussais quarters. They had killed Vice Captain of the first squad Choujiro Sasakibe. At gate number one, 182 members of the gotei 13 were killed a single person. This call left everyone shocked.
Elsewhere, Ywach killed two of his subordinates for petty reasons showing dominance. This worried the other members of the Vanderweich, but Ywach gave them reason to relax by showing them the captured leader of Hueco Mundo, Hallibel.
Saddened by the news of the attack on soul society, Ichigo decides to go patrolling when suddenly he finds Nelliel and Pesche crashing into him. They ask him for help as Hueco Mundo is under attack. They want him to save their friend Dondachakke. Ichigo and his friends agree to help him excluding Uryu who decides not to help as he is a Quincy and quincies are meant to destroy hollows not save them. This is understood by Ichigo and they agree. Kisuke Urahara appears and takes them to Hueco Mundo.
