After being attacked by a mysterious scythe wielder, a massive explosion of reiatsu envelopes the entirety of Seireitei in a cocoon-like substance. The explosion destroys Seireitei and causes amnesia in all the Soul Reapers residing there. Rukia Kuchiki, who was away from Seireitei and therefore safe from this incident, is attacked by the same scythe. As it hurtles towards her, she feels something inside her vanish; her heart and memories have been stolen. Meanwhile, in the human world, Ichigo senses danger, and he realizes that Rukia’s existence had vanished from his mind for a moment. Ichigo and Kon visit Kisuke Urahara’s store, only to discover that he, too, has completely forgotten Rukia. They do learn from him, however, that a part of Seireitei was destroyed and there may be a relation. Ichigo remarks Rukia as “a precious comrade,” earning a smirk from Urahara, who opens a gate to the Soul Society.

An artifact known as the “King’s Seal” is stolen during transport from Soul Society by an unidentified Soul Reaper and two arrancar-resembling girls who control fire and lightning. During the attack, Tōshirō Hitsugaya corners and seems to recognize the Soul Reaper, who immediately stabs him in the stomach. In the middle of battle, Hitsugaya abandons his post to pursue him and leaves his squad behind to fend for themselves. After the battle, Seireitei suspects Hitsuguya of treason and orders his immediate capture. The whole 10th Division is then put on house arrest at which time they can surmise whether or not the division should be abolished. Tōshirō’s capture is made top priority and his execution is approved. Meanwhile, back in the human world, Rukia reveals to Ichigo rather surprising, in-depth knowledge of Hitsugaya’s personality, as well as some rather accurate guesses as to what Hitsugaya plans to do next. Ichigo realizes what might be troubling Hitsugaya and leaves to find him.

In Karakura Town, unidentifiable spirits begin appearing en masse. While attempting to deal with these strange souls, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki meet Senna, a mysterious Soul Reaper who wipes out most of them. Senna refuses to answer any questions, so Ichigo is forced to follow her while Rukia tries to find out what’s going on. Meanwhile, in Soul Society, the real world is suddenly reflected in the sky, so Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto are sent to investigate. They meet up with Ichigo and discuss the events at the Urahara Shop, where Kisuke Urahara explains that a dimension between Soul Society and the real world, known as the Valley of Screams, has expanded to the point that it is connecting the two worlds.  The souls Ichigo saw earlier are known as “Blanks,” souls that were lost in the space between the worlds and have been stripped of their memories. The Valley of Screams is composed of these Blanks, but they alone could not be responsible for the size to which it has grown. He goes on to explain that the lost memories of the Blanks will have formed into a single being known as the “Memory Rosary,” and he has Ichigo track this being down.
