Tōshirō Hitsugaya chases him and manages to injure him, but he escapes and is attacked by a Hollow, resulting in him fusing with it. When Ichigo Kurosaki fights him again, Zangetsu materializes near Ichigo and tells him that this is the Tōjū he had fought earlier, merged with a Hollow. As Ichigo tries to shoot Getsuga Tenshō, he is interrupted by the Hollow Tōjū firing a Cero and, though powerful, is able to block it. The Tōjū is then killed by Tōshirō and Hyōrinmaru.

After losing her master, she travels to the Human World in order to find another source of power to keep her from withering away. She located a highschool girl, Kyōko Haida, who has psychic spiritual powers and gained an influence on her by playing on her hurt feelings by her former friend, Mai Suzuki.

The Tōjū drives Kyōko to perform several attacks against girls who have a pink bear keychain (a gift she intended to give to Mai), but she could never force her to kill them. Orihime Inoue meets Kyōko when she transferred to Karakura High School. The two are immediately drawn to each other. When Orihime offers to be Kyōko's friend, the Tōjū tries to turn her against Orihime. Kyōko refuses and the Tōjū drives her to attack Mai, but can not make her kill her former friend, which forces the Tōjū to take control of Kyōko.
