New School Term, Renji has Come to the Human World?!

New School Term, Renji has Come to the Material World?! is the sixty-fourth episode of the Bleach anime.

Just when things were starting to look back to normal, three mysterious new figures appear and abduct Orihime.

Summary
With Ichigo back home, family life in the Kurosaki home returns to normal, with Karin being dreary as ever, Isshin constantly assaulting Ichigo with surprise attacks, and Yuzu trying to break up the fights. At school, everyone is returning from summer break. Keigo is jealous as Ichigo indicates that he and Chad went somewhere together over the summer, and Orihime almost spills the beans to Tatsuki about what happened in Soul Society. After class starts, Ichigo sees the empty seat next to him, which Rukia occupied during her time in the real world. Then he hears a voice from outside calling his name: Renji Abarai’s. Ichigo rushes out, telling his confused teacher that he's a relative, and tackles Renji into the bushes, who is dressed in old sixties attire and has an acoustic guitar strung to his back. It seems that Renji is now in charge of Karakura Town and is in a Gigai given to him by Kisuke Urahara. Ichigo makes fun of him for getting a demotion since he’s supposed to be a lieutenant. Their argument is interrupted by the arrival of a Hollow. Renji tries to take it on but he is stuck in the Gigai, and Orihime and the others watch as the Hollow moves ever closer to the classroom. Then Ichigo appears behind it and dispatches before it does any harm.

Afterward, Orihime and Tatsuki share a moment while eating, in which Orihime tells Tatsuki for helping her through her "summer ordeal." At home, Ichigo is slightly late for dinner and is assaulted by Isshin for being late. Renji is actually staying at Urahara’s but is constantly harassed at dinner by Tessai, Ururu, and Jinta. He begins to ask for seconds, but begins shaking and walks away once everyone finishes teases him. Afterward, Yoruichi asks Kisuke if he also noticed a strange presence in town.

In the evening, Orihime and Chad are still training themselves up, and they discuss their reasons for going to Soul Society and each's desire to get stronger. Of course that’s put to an abrupt end when Chad accidentally punches a hole through the wall, and the two have to run away. Uryū watches them from outside as they run away and he reflects on what he has learned from his intrusion in Soul Society.

Ichigo comes home and notices Kon's horrific appearance, as he has tears and his plush is hanging out, and slaps Ichigo for looking so dumbfounded. He cries about Rukia not coming back with Ichigo and makes quite a racket. Ichigo orders him to go to sleep, and Kon promptly submits.

At home, Orihime dreams of when she was young and still with her brother. She wakes up and remembers Rukia with Byakuya, which brings tears to her eyes. Surprisingly, the doorbell rings, and it turns out to be none other than her deceased brother. He reassures her that he won’t return to being a Hollow, and he seems to know about her trip to Soul Society and about the dream she just had. He then opens the window and a gate appears outside. Simultaneously, Renji gets a notice on his cell phone and rushes off to get Ichigo. Kon raises a commotion for being forced to go to sleep and then being woken up, but Renji tosses him around as he studies Kon and realizes that he is a gikongan. Then Ichigo realizes that the strange reiatsu is around Orihime and so the two, along with Uryū and Chad, arrive in time to see Orihime pulled into strange portal. Ichigo tries to slash at it, but it’s too late - Orihime is gone.

On a rooftop nearby, three mysterious figures laugh and watch as the scene unfolds.

Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
Kon is shown dressed in flowery apparel and Tategami lace, compliments of Uryū. Kon starts assaulting Uryū for dressing him so feminine and throws several punches, knocking Uryū around. A beaten Uryū then asks if these changes are acceptable, and Kon is shown to appear shiny and like new. Ichigo watches the interaction and notes that Uryū has pulled a fast one again, and he points out the Quincy cross sewn on the back of Kon's head.
