Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Grand Fisher is a battle that involves Ichigo Kurosaki learning about the truth of his mothers death.

Prologue
The Mod-Soul, who has now been put into a stuffed animal and named Kon, loudly wakes Ichigo up, causing Ichigo to angrily throw him towards a wall. Ichigo tells him to act like a normal stuffed animal, but Kon tells him to treat him nicely. Rukia Kuchiki suddenly exits the closet and tells Ichigo to be quiet, but accidentally steps on Kon. Kon says "nice angle", causing Rukia to repeatedly stomp on the Mod-Soul. Yuzu suddenly enters the room and both Rukia and Kon quickly hide in the closet. Ichigo asks her what she wants at such an early time in the morning, but Yuzu informs that it isn't early and that Mizuiro Kojima has been waiting for him outside. Ichigo calls out to Mizuiro from a window, and he apologizes to him and tells him to come into his house and wait. He then realizes that everyone's memories from school have been erased of the incident with the Mod-Soul. He then begins to wonder about the sandal-hat guy and who he is, until Rukia tells Ichigo that she's going to go on ahead of him. Ichigo angrily looks at his watch and wonders why his dad didn't wake him up since he seems to crash in whether he likes it or not. He then spots the date on his watch and becomes silent. Rukia asks Ichigo why he has such a long face now but Ichigo tells her that nothings wrong and remarks that "it's soon".

At Karakura High School, Tatsuki, Orihime, and Michiru discuss the art project, "my future self". Tatsuki shows a picture of herself as the champion of women martial arts, while Orihime shows a picture of herself as a robot, causing Tatsuki to warn her that she'll get detention if she uses that. Ichigo suddenly walks into the room and Orihime greets him, while Ichigo happily does the same. Orihime is surprised from this, and she asks why Ichigo is so tense. Tatsuki asks Michiru what today is and Michiru states that it's June 16th. Tatsuki tells Orihime that she's amazing to realize something that took her three years to do and she states that if she has any business with Ichigo, then to do it now because he won't be in school tomorrow.

Isshin holds a family meeting to decide what their going to do tomorrow, but remarks that since he's the chairman he'll be making all decisions. Karin angrily gets out of her seat and tells Isshin that this isn't a meeting then, but Isshin tells her to raise her hand before speaking and refers to her as "staff director", and the title makes Karin happy enough to stop arguing. Isshin then ends the meeting with giving Yuzu the job of lunch staff and Karin the job of luggage carrier. Ichigo goes into his room and Rukia tells him that the family meeting looked fun, and she speculates if Ichigo is going on a picnic tomorrow. Ichigo doesn't answer though and he asks Rukia if he can have the day off tomorrow from his Shinigami work. However, Rukia tells him he can't and she asks Ichigo why he's acting so strange. Ichigo tells her that tomorrow is the anniversary of his mothers death, but remarks that it isn't just the day she died, but also the day she was killed.
