However, a timely assist by Chad ended in Oshima's defeat. Reiichi also makes a brief appearance watching Don Kanonji's TV show, witnessing Ichigo rush out on camera. He never appeared in the anime;however, a very similar looking gangster appeared in a flashback of Ichigo's when he is telling Rukia about the day when he first met Chad in episode 4.
