Bount arc (anime only)
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material. While searching for the Bount in Soul Society with his gang, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, and Uryū Ishida, Ganju Shiba encounters three thugs for Kusajishi, and after incapacitating them with Bonnie, he learns that the Bount seem to be operating in Kusajishi, which leads him to decide that they will need assistance from someone familiar with the region. Shortly afterward, Ganju leads the group to a different part of the forest and gives a signal with a loud whistle, causing Daiji and his subordinates to emerge from the bushes surrounding them and approach the group, who are left visibly startled while Ganju casually greets a smiling Daiji.

The next day, Daiji returns from collecting a reconnaissance report to inform Ganju and his friends of the Bount gathering a huge number of thugs from around Kusajishi with which to attack the Seireitei. Upon learning that Ganju plans to interfere with this by breaking up the crowd of thugs and making it easier for the Shinigami to fight them, Daiji is initially hesitant to help him, but changes his mind when Ganju explains that he is doing this to assist Ichigo Kurosaki in his hardworking efforts to stop the Bount and has his subordinates round up fighters of their own before attacking the thugs' base that night and routing the ones left behind by the Bount.
