Revival! Substitute Shinigami･Ichigo Kurosaki!

 is the three hundred and sixty-second episode of the Bleach anime.

Summary
The aftermath of the Getsuga Tenshō was enough to blow up the upper half of Tsukishima's mansion. Ichigo apologizes that he missed Ginjō and says that next time he won't. Ginjō tries to retreat, but Ichigo stops him and they begin to fight. Their swords continuously clash and Ginjō thinks about how Ichigo's physical abilities increased and wonders if it is because the Fullbring strengthened his innate powers. Kugō fires his own Getsuga Tenshō, which Ichigo blocks and fires his own. Ichigo notices that his power came from many people. Renji says that it was the Captain-Commander's orders to restore Ichigo's powers. Tōshirō states that the Captain-Commander would have not made a decision like this in the past and that Ichigo changed it. Shortly after, a large purple Reiatsu appears in front of everybody. Tōshirō reveals to Ichigo that Ginjō was the first Substitute Shinigami and Ginjō appears in a different form. Tōshirō says that the law of giving a badge to beneficial Substitute Shinigami was because of Kūgo.

Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sado are running through the woods. Orihime states that Ichigo was crying. Since she is under Tsukishima's influence, she believes that Ichigo and Tsukishima are friends, so she is wondering why it hurts when she sees Ichigo crying. Once Sado and Orihime see Ichigo and the Gotei 13, they wonder why the Gotei 13 is on Ichigo's side. Tsukishima then appears behind them and starts cramming memories into their pasts. Orihime and Sado are knocked unconscious by Urahara and Isshin. Urahara states that everyone else is safe, therefore Ichigo can fight without holding back. The other Fullbringers catch up with Kūgo, with Giriko asking why Kūgo has all of Ichigo's powers to himself. Kūgo gives them a portion of Ichigo's powers. Tsukishima asks Kūgo if he is going to share with Moe, but Kūgo states that Moe's power is troublesome enough and to kill him after this battle. Ichigo faces the Fullbringers and launches a Getsuga Tenshō at them, causing the Fullbringers to recoil. However, none of them are affected thanks to Yukio's Fullbring. Yukio tells Ichigo that his powers have increased due to taking Ichigo's Fullbring. Ikkaku then stabs Yukio from behind, lecturing Ichigo about killing an enemy properly. A virtual attack then approaches, but Tōshirō blocks it. Moe than starts to attack Ikkaku. Everyone then has an opponent and Yukio assigns rooms to each battle. Kenpachi wants to switch with Byakuya because Tsukishima looked stronger, but he is sent into the room. Giriko and Kenpachi start to fight, with Giriko fully enhancing his ability. However, Kenpachi easily strikes him down. Ichigo prepares to fight Kūgo in their new environment.

Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
Renji does a quiz and tells the contestants (Sado, Ichigo, and Ishida) to guess the name of his Zanpakutō. But Ishida realizes that Renji has mentioned the answer already. He then wonders whether Renji knows the meaning of the word 'quiz'. Renji then calls out Ichigo, who decides to guess the answer as 'Bucktoothmaru'. This infuriated Renji, who then said he has already mentioned the answer which made Ishida retort that he already knew the answer and still wants to mention it. Renji then decides to proceed, but Ishida protests, saying that Renji shouldn't just let it go like that. Ichigo then asks what has to be let go, causing everyone to be confused.
