Rescue Hirako! Aizen vs. Urahara

'''Rescue Hirako! Aizen vs. Urahara''' is the two-hundred-twelfth episode of the Bleach anime.

Urahara, Tessai, and Yoruichi leave to the Human World with the Hollowfied captains and lieutenants.

Summary
Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi arrive to stop Sōsuke Aizen, but Aizen is expecting this the entire time. Aizen attempts to lie by saying that he found his fellow Shinigami injured from battle, but Kisuke reveals that he knew that Aizen had been testing Hollowfication in Soul Society. Aizen flees from the scene shortly after this. Tessai uses forbidden Kidō to freeze time and bring everyone in the area back to the 12th Division research facilities. Kisuke shows Tessai the object that may be useful in saving those undergoing the Hollowfication process, the Hōgyoku.

Kisuke and Tessai were arrested and brought before Central Room 46 the next morning only to find themselves falsely accused as the ones responsible for Aizen's doing. When Kisuke tries to explain that Aizen was at fault, Room 46 declares that Aizen was in the barracks that night. Kisuke is sentenced to removal of his spirit powers, and exile to the Human World, and Tessai is sentenced to high-level imprisonment. Just before the two are detained, Yoruichi Shihōin breaks in and takes them back to her and Kisuke's hideout, along with the eight Shinigami undergoing Hollowfication. Kisuke declares that he will find out how to save them. In the present day at the Visored headquarters, where it appears that Shinji Hirako had narrated the previous story, he says that they have become who they are thanks to Kisuke and Aizen. After this, they walk out of the building, ready to fight.

Substitute Shinigami Work Diary
Rukia states that it is also a Substitute Shinigami's responsibility to take care of other Shinigami's belongings. Renji Abarai arrives in Ichigo's room, telling him that he has come to pick up his Gigai. Ichigo asks him why he left it here in the first place, to which Renji comments that Kisuke Urahara made him work like a dog in order to pay for it. As Renji picks up his Gigai, he wonders what is going on, as it has been remodeled in a ballerina-style costume. Rukia explains that she accidentally spilled curry on it, so she sent it to Uryū for fixing, as Ichigo and Renji wonder how it became a dress.
