Summary
The soccer game officially starts. The referees are the proprietors from the Urahara Shop, Jinta Hanakari and Ururu Tsumugiya. Kisuke Urahara himself oversees the proceedings, and set up a gigantic barrier around the play field to indicate the assigned area. The two teams, each with varying characters ranging from Gigais to Kon, the modsoul, attempt to keep the ball away from each other in different, comical ways. Tessai and Jinta punished them for going out of bounds, Tessai using Kin. Ikkaku Madarame joins in the game, while sparring with Ichigo, under the impression that he was undergoing intensive training. Then, a Hollow appears on the field, drawn by everyone's spiritual pressure. With the help of Ichigo, Chad, and Uryū, the Hollow is quickly dispatched. The game ends because Rurichiyo's team dropped the ball. Before she can lament about going back to her world, Shu, from the Kasumioji clan, enters the human world and shows Rurichiyo that her idea about a soccer tournament in Soul Society was not such a bad idea in the eyes of the commoners after all right after Rurichiyo accepted defeat and Kenryū decided to go with Rurichiyo's idea. Rurichiyo, Kenryu, and Enryū then return to Soul Society.'''
