Everyone congregated inside as they took in the room. To the humans and the exiles, it appeared to be a theater room with a big screen at the front and a food bar full of refreshments at the back. Some immediately went to the bar while others went to find seats for themselves. Ichigo and his family took one row near the top while his friends sat behind them. After Toshiro went to Momo and Shuhei to inform them of their theory (Momo being the most disappointed), he and Rangiku sat in the row in front of Ichigo and his family along with Rukia, Byakuya, and Renji; practically barricading them from any danger. Kisuke's group wasn't that far as they took the top left section while the Vizoreds took the top right. The senior Soul Reapers took the middle while everyone else just spread out anywhere. After getting everything settled, the lights dimmed, and the screen lit up.

[OPENING THEME SONG: Asterisk]

"Wait! We have our own theme song?! Kisuke!" Ichigo exclaimed angrily.

"Wow, it's like we have our own TV show where we're the superheroes and we get to fight villains and solve crime!" said Orihime.

"Though why title the show 'Bleach' is what I'm trying to understand." Said Tatsuki.

"MY LIFE IS NOT A DAMN TV SHOW!"

[The first scene that popped up was an image of Hueco Mundo with an eerie music playing in the background. The scene continued on as it showed shadows stretching across the sand and the wind howling, before a shadow rose up and into the sky like a drop of water but in reverse. The scene then cuts to the World of the Living as the shadow dropped from the sky towards the night of Karakura Town.]

Rukia Kuchiki: We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen.

"Huh? Wait, I'm narrating?!"

[The scene then cuts towards the river as two Hollows land on the ground before becoming invisible.]

Rukia Kuchiki: And we respect with every fiber that which cannot be explained. [The scene cuts to the full moon shining brightly as a Hell Butterfly flew before showing Rukia on a telephone poll. Then it cuts to her face, looking serious as she looks on in the distance.]

Rukia: I sense strong spirit energy close by. [With that, she leapt from one pole to another and towards the suburbs as the Kanji letters spelled out "And so fell the swords of fate..." before it showed "Bleach 01". The scene then cuts to an alleyway where four guys are ganging up on a 15-year-old Ichigo in a high school uniform with skateboards on the ground along with one of their unconscious buddies. It was sunset.]

Little Yama: You got a death wish, pal? Nobody jumps one of my boys for no reason and lives to tell about it. [Ichigo just scoffs as he frowns at them, his hand on his head.] That's all you've gotta say? [The guy then launches himself to swing at Ichigo, but the teen just calmly smacks the idiot with his foot right at his face. The guy grunts and falls face first before Ichigo starts stomping on him repeatedly. The boys become scared.]

"What did they ever do to you?" Renji inquired as he looked back at the teen who just stared at the screen in mild irritation.

"Just watch, I probably have a good reason for beating those idiots up."

Boy 1: Little Yama's down. We gotta help him!

Boy 2: Are you crazy?

Boy 3: No way I'm taking on that psycho.

[Ichigo stomps Little Yama's head into the ground, causing it to break through the cement.]

"Interesting, it takes a tremendous amount of strength for a regular human to do that to a cement ground." Jushiro commented.
