New Development, the Dangerous Transfer Student Appears!

New Development, the Dangerous Transfer Student Appears! is the one-hundred sixty-ninth episode of the Bleach anime.

Ichigo meets Rurichiyo Kasumiōji and her two Shinigami guards in the Human World.

Summary
On the banks of a river in Karakura Town, a Senkaimon appears. Two Shinigami appear, one carrying a rickshaw with a girl whose face is covered by a hat. They survey the area briefly and address the girl, telling her that the people who are delivering their items hasn't yet arrived and they have no choice but to wait as there is still time until dawn. The girl looks up momentarily, stating that she is hungry. Meanwhile, Ichigo goes about his normal life and finds out that his neighbor suddenly moved away. When Rukia gets notified of Hollows in the city, both she and Ichigo leave school to fight them. They find it odd that more than 50 Hollows have appeared all at once, and they have no choice but to split up to fight them. Back at the riverbank, one of the Shinigami reports to the girl that he can’t shop for food because their gigai hasn’t arrived yet.

The girl becomes impatient and tries to take off her hat, but the Shinigami stops her because that hat is keeping down her reiatsu. He instead urges patience until her special Gigai arrives, and for now he’s more concerned about the important experiment that the other Shinigami is off preparing. However, the girl runs off on her own while he’s turned away from her. Walking through town, the girl happens to see Ichigo battling the Hollows and calls to him. Seeing that she’s a soul, Ichigo heads down to her to investigate and is confused when she talks about wanting to eat. As she approaches him, the girl trips and her hat falls off, and Ichigo ends up helping her back up. She orders Ichigo to bring her some food but Ichigo's attention is turned to the Hollow and tells the girl to beat it so the young girl gets annoyed because she’s still hungry.

She grabs onto Ichigo, and while the two are struggling, her Shinigami guards find her and grab her. Unfortunately, they’ve brought with them a horde of Hollows that subsequently bury Ichigo, and Ichigo decides to initiate Bankai to quickly get rid of them all. The guards and the girl disappear while he is fighting, and the battle ends only after Ichigo is joined by Rukia, Uryū Ishida, Yasutora Sado, and Orihime Inoue. Ishida in particular had sensed an unknown Shinigami’s spiritual force and had figured out that the people Ichigo met had used bait to lure out the Hollows.

That evening, Kon informs Ichigo that they have new neighbors. These new neighbors turn out to be none other than the girl and her two Shinigami guards, but when Ichigo confronts them, the lead Shinigami refuses to tell him who they really are even though they already know who he is. He even sets up a barrier to keep Ichigo out of the house. Since the girl and her guards are now using Gigai, Rukia goes to Urahara’s store to ask about it, but Urahara isn’t there, and the others decline to tell her anything. The following day at school, Ichigo and friends are shocked when the girl and her guards show up as new students: the guards’ names are Kenryū and Enryū, and the girl introduces herself as Rurichiyo.
