Mod Soul Training

The Mod Soul Training is an event opening the anime exclusive Bount Invasion. Three mysterious figures with strange powers begin hounding Ichigo and his friends, leading them through a series of crazy and risky games.

Prelude
Having returned home from his trip to the Soul Society, Ichigo finds it hard to readapt himself to a normal Human's life. As the first period in the new semester begins Ichigo, along with the rest of his class, is surprised to hear the voice of Renji Abarai calling out to him. After confronting Renji about the reason for his presence there he learns that Renji's been put in charge of Karakura Town. Ichigo insinuates that Renji being sent there meant he was demoted but Renji explains they had to send him on the count of Ichigo's inability to control his Reiryoku. As if to emphasize his words, Ichigo's Hollow alarm goes off and a Hollow appears in the school yard. Since Renji has trouble getting out of his Gigai it is up to Ichigo to purify the Hollow. He then insists Renji doesn't come by the school anymore.

That night, Renji who was staying at the Urahara Shop, gets a strange order on his Soul phone. He leaves the shop and goes to alert Ichigo. Ichigo is oblivious at first but when it's spelled out for him he does sense a strange presence right next to his friend, Orihime Inoue. Orihime herself opens the door to a person who looks just like her late brother, Sora. Even though she suspects something, she nevertheless puts her hand in the creature's hand and agrees to go with him through a strange portal, resembling the gates of Hell. When the others arrive there is nothing they can do except stand and watch as Orihime is sucked into the portal. Ichigo makes an attempt to cut through the portal but it simply vanishes into thin air.
