Synopsis
The situation worsens as more Hollows appear in the Human World, attacking the school where Orihime and her friends are. While defending them, Orihime develops her own power, the Shun Shun Rikka — a group of fairy-like creatures coming from the hairpins given to her by her brother — and defeats the Hollow. Afterwards, Kisuke Urahara takes in Orihime and Sado Yasutora to help them with their new powers while Rukia and Ichigo confront Uryū Ishida.
