Ichigo Kurosaki & Uryū Ishida vs. The Menos Grande

Ichigo Kurosaki & Uryū Ishida vs. The Menos Grande is a battle that takes place in Karakura Town. In it, Ichigo the Shinigami and Uryū the Quincy fight a massive Hollow known as a Menos Grande.

Prologue
Wanting to prove that Shinigami are not needed in the world, Uryū challenges Ichigo to a competition. Ichigo refuses, telling Uryu that he does not know why he has a grudge against Shinigami, and that he has nothing to do with it. Uryu asks him if he plans to run away, but Ichigo dismisses this, saying that he will not be provoked and that Uryu is no match for him anyway. However, Uryu remarks that since Ichigo’s powers were given to him by Rukia Kuchiki, he cannot even lift a finger without her permission. This accusation prompts Ichigo to accept Uryu’s challenge; he pulls out the gikongan that contains Kon, which Rukia had given him earlier as a precaution, and swallows it, transforming him into his Shinigami form.

Uryu goes on to establish the rules of the contest, pulling a coin-shaped object out of his pocket, and explaining that it is Hollow bait. He states that once he crushes the coin, Hollows will begin to appear in Karakura Town. He declares that the person who kills the most Hollows within 24 hours wins. Ichigo objects to Uryu’s plan, arguing that it endangers everybody in the town. Uryu tells Ichigo to keep his morality to himself, and crushes the Hollow bait, saying that it will not be an issue, because he will kill every single Hollow. He tells Ichigo that if he is so worried about protecting everybody, then he should try his best to kill the Hollows as well.
