Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

He was first encountered by Izuru Kira and Makoto Kibune during their investigation of an old execution ground. As he was a new recruit to the 3rd Division, he was not recognized by Kira. Moments later, the three fall into the execution pit, which is filled with caged Hollows. Kira and Kibune easily defeat the Hollows, but one of the Hollows manages to absorb Shinta. When Kibune attempts to kill the Hollow with Shinta, Kira stops his attack, and Kibune cites Shinta's lack of skill as the reason he should die. Shinta is eventually saved, but Kira begins to distrust Kibune after this incident. Inose mentions that the Fourth Division is unsure that they will be able to save Shinta. His status is now unknown.

Powers & Abilities
As a new recruit and a non-seated officer, he is unskilled in Shinigami arts. He couldn't use Shunpo to slow down his falling like Kira and Kibune did, and as a result he had to be saved by Kira. He fainted shortly afterwards.
