Prologue
Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi confronts Kenpachi Zaraki, stating that he had no right to handle his Zanpakutō. Kenpachi curses under his breath, as Mayuri smiles brilliantly. Ichigo Kurosaki screams out in pain, as Mayuri prepares to inject him with a vaccine. He reassures Ichigo, stating that if he doesn't heal him, he shall die. However, Ichigo resists Mayuri's jabs, saying that he does strange things to his patients whilst healing them. Almost to confirm this statement, as Mayuri squeezes the trigger, an acid-like serum splashes onto the ground.

Mayuri then asks him who told him such a thing, to which he states that Uryū did. As Mayuri prepares to inject Ichigo, he uses Shunpo to move out of the way. However, Mayuri calls out to Nemu, who appears almost instantaneously, proceeding to subdue Ichigo, much to his surprise. Whilst Ichigo is pinned to the ground, Mayuri prepares to administer the serum, until he is interrupted by the arrival of Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake.

Shortly after the arrival of the two captains, Retsu Unohana arrives on the scene with the remainder of the 4th Division. She relieves Mayuri of his duty, as Ichigo feels relieved at this. However, Mayuri states that creating a cure to the poison is no easy feat, to which Unohana counters, saying that they have successfully healed the other victims of Ashisogi Jizō. As Mayuri relents, the two exchange icy glares.
