Publisher's summary
Shinji tries to recruit Ichigo into the Vizards, but the offer is rejected. As Chad and Orihime try to ask Shinji what happened to Ichigo, one of his friends, Hiyori Sarugaki attempts to stop them. The following day, two Arrancar similar to humans, Yammy and Ulquiorra Cifer, are dispatched by Aizen to Karakura Town, and they start killing people. Chad and Orihime try to fight them, but they are unable to inflict damage, and are saved by Ichigo. Ichigo's fright of his hollow side results in his defeat by Yammy. Urahara and Yoruichi save them all and force the two arrancar to retreat. As they recover from their injuries, Soul Society sends Renji, Matsumoto, Hitsugaya, Ikkaku, Yumichika and Rukia to aide them.
