088.5. KARAKURA SUPER HEROES

This was an omake chapter that was published in Volume 10 - Tattoo on the Sky and involved the adventures of the Karakura Super Heros. This chapter also introduced Zennosuke Kurumadani the Shinigami who replaced Rukia Kuchiki in Karakura Town. The story for this chapter actually starts in the form of Volume Sketches that show Don Kanonji approach and recruit Karin, Jinta and Ururu for Karakura Superheros - a special unit that will protect Karakura city from Hollows while Ichigo, who is in Soul Society at this time, is not around. He rules in Jinta and Karin by offering them both the position of "red", the traditional colour for the main character. However, Don Kanonji then reveals that he is "gold" and thus the real main character.

Summary
The actual chapter starts with Zennosuke Kurumadani introducing himself as the replacement for Rukia Kuchiki. He knows she was arrested for some crime but does not know what crime she committed. His new assignment, however, bothers him greatly because even though he came to Karakura Town for fight hollows, he constantly arrives at the location of hollows to find the Karakura Superheros are already there and dispatching the low level hollows with seeming ease. The chapter ends with him commenting on the strangeness of Karakura Town only be interrupted by Tatsuki Arisawa who can not only see him, but berates him for being creepy by watching children (Karin, Jinta and Ururu) playing.
