Water Attack! Escape from the Shutdown Hospital

'''Water Attack! Escape from the Shutdown Hospital''' is the seventy-second episode of the Bleach anime.

While Uryū is in the hospital, the other must fight two Bounts who can control water.

Summary
Ichigo and friends are on watch while Uryū is at the hospital. Uryū gets to have a special room because this is the same hospital that his father runs. Meanwhile, Hanatarō has found a job at a local convenience store. He goes to investigate a large explosion outside, only to find that Ganju has arrived in this world. Back at the hospital, Rukia suddenly thanks Ichigo, but it only leads the two getting into an argument. In the silence afterwards, Rukia gets annoyed at the dripping of the water and tries to turn off the faucet. However, the water starts pouring out and soon fills the sink. Renji and Orihime arrive with water buckets to catch the overflow. But water is also coming from other faucets inside the hospital, and it comes flooding into Uryū's room when Orihime opens the door. The faucet water starts taking form, first surrounding Renji and then turning into two water balls, with a bottle cap as the nucleus of each. The water attempts to drown Uryū, but Ichigo is able to temporarily stop it with his Zanpakutō.

The group escapes from the room and go down a flight of stairs, but the water follows them and tries to drown Sado and Uryū. Ichigo’s slashes have a lot less effect this time, so Rukia uses a blast spell to evaporate the water. As a result, the fire alarm to go off and all of the hospital staff and patients evacuate. While looking for a way out, Ichigo’s group runs into two kids - the Bount. By using bottle caps, the two are able to call forth their dolls from ordinary water. Ichigo decides that the best course of action is to run away. They manage to find the elevator down, but water starts coming out of the elevator shaft. Renji and Rukia’s blast spells evaporate some of it, but there’s just too much to handle. Ichigo spots a lighter and an oxygen tank, which gives him an idea. He uses them together to create an explosion that evaporates all of the water (and blows out the windows of that floor). They make their way back to the elevator and everyone gets in while; Renji and Ichigo hold off the Dolls long enough so that the elevator can reach the bottom floor. They then jump down the shaft to join their friends. However, it is raining outside, meaning that they’re unable to escape from the water.
