Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki & Yoruichi Shihōin vs. The Reigai

Ichigo Kurosaki & Rukia Kuchiki & Yoruichi Shihōin vs. The Reigai is a fight taking place within the Reigai Uprising. It focuses upon the conflict between the three Shinigami and the Reigai army, who proceed to stop them from entering the Senkaimon and returning to the Human World.

Prologue
As Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki stare despondently at the frozen image of Nozomi Kujō, she asks him what their next move is. He states that they will attempt to return to the Human World, but Rukia berates him for thinking that their enemies will just sit idly and let them leave. Ichigo asks what she believes is the right cause of action, but she is unable to come up with anything. However, Yoruichi Shihōin arrives at the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, as Rukia asks what became of the Reigai. She states that mere impostors would never get the better of her, as Ichigo comments upon her superior speed.

Rukia informs Yoruichi that the Reigai have probably took up guard outside the Senkaimon, and that getting there will be no easy feat. Yoruichi agrees, and states that their only option is to break through head-on. Both Rukia and Ichigo are surprised at this statement, as she reiterates that Yoruichi told them that the imposters have strengths paralleling that of a Gotei 13 captain. However, Yoruichi states that the reason that they will be attacking head-on is due to the fact that they are imposters.
