Tatsuki finds Ichigo by the river bank where his mother was killed.

June 18th to July 17th

On Wednesday, July 15th at 7:31 PM, Ichigo Kurosaki's friends assemble outside of an abandoned hospital in Karakura Town where Don Kanonji is going to be filming the next episode of his popular TV show, Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip, and see a visibly annoyed Ichigo arrive with his family, prompting Keigo Asano and Mizuiro Kojima to declare that he came after all as Ichigo threatens to mangle them.Orihime Inoue apologizes to Ichigo for trying to get him to perform Don Kanonji's laugh and pose with her.Orihime Inoue approaches and apologizes for trying to get Ichigo to perform Don Kanonji's pose and laugh with her the other day because Tatsuki told her that Ichigo hates Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip afterward, only for Ichigo to assure her that it is alright because Keigo and Mizuiro continue to tease him about it even though they know of his dislike for it. When Orihime asks him why he came anyway, Ichigo notes that Yuzu and Isshin are big fans and clarifies that he could not let them come alone when a surprised Orihime wonders if this is why he came even though he hates the show. Orihime tells Ichigo that he is very kind, but when he asserts that it is nothing, Orihime agrees with him.Rukia Kuchiki reveals that she does not know what is going on.As Ichigo observes the crowd of people that have gathered for this show and notes that the people running the show will be wondering if they have any social lives at all, Rukia Kuchiki tells him to cheer up and performs Don Kanonji's pose and laugh, to Ichigo's chagrin. Asserting that Ichigo should try to enjoy himself now that he is here, Rukia states that he must be tired from his school and Shinigami work before telling him to take the opportunity to unwind, leading a surprised Ichigo to note that she has a surprisingly nice side. However, Ichigo is shocked to learn that Rukia does not actually know what this is all about.
Rukia explains the concept of a Jibakurei to Ichigo.
Wondering if there is really a Soul here, Ichigo notes that it sounds like a horror movie cliché and asks. Rukia if the Shinigami would not have taken care of any Souls here, leading Rukia to explain that locations like this hospital are usually haunted by fixed-location Jibakurei that blend in with their environment so Soul Society's sensors cannot detect them. As Rukia begins to reveal the only thing that will make a Jibakurei reveal itself, an assistant runs past them with a lighting prop and sets foot on the property, leading to an unearthly scream being heard as Rukia finishes her explanation by noting that a Jibakurei can only be drawn out by someone invading its territory.The Jibakurei manifests outside the hospital.As they listen to the scream, Ichigo asks Rukia who is screaming, prompting her to state that it is the cry of a Jibakurei and that there really is one here. When Ichigo notes that it sounds like a Hollow to him, Rukia explains that it is a Plus in the process of becoming a Hollow, making it a Demi-Hollow, and draws Ichigo's attention to the Jibakurei, who is bound by chains to the hospital, as he resumes his screaming. Admitting that it does feel a lot like a Hollow, Ichigo observes that the Jibakurei is not wearing a Hollow's white mask and the hole in his chest has not completely opened up yet, leading Rukia to explain that the hole in the center of a Hollow's chest represents its lost center that makes it a raging mass of instinct and that its mask shields its naked instincts from the outside world.The Jibakurei loudly warns the crowd to not come near the hospital and details how he planned to become very wealthy off of it in life.After noting that neither of these are necessary if one has a center, Rukia details how dying causes one's Chain of Fate to be severed and notes that Souls with no strong attachments simply wait for a Shinigami to help them cross over before revealing that Souls with regrets are anchored to them by their chains. As she clarifies that Souls attached to people are called Tsukirei and Souls attached to places are called Jibakurei, Rukia notes that this means the Jibakurei here is attached to the hospital because of the building itself or something that happened there. The Jibakurei declares that he will not let anyone take the hospital from him and details how he had planned on making himself extremely wealthy off of it by inheriting it from his father before angrily cursing his younger brother for inheriting it instead, leading an unimpressed Ichigo to comment on his self-centered nature.Don Kanonji enters the scene by leaping out of a helicopter.Suddenly, an announcer tells the crowd to be quiet and begins to count down to the beginning of the recording as those present react with excitement. As the countdown finishes, the announcer informs the audience that tonight's episode is an emergency broadcast that has brought the team of Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip to an abandoned hospital in the the Karakura district of Tokyo. Asserting that local residents are tormented by the cries of an evil spirit at night and will not come near this place, the announcer introduces Don Kanonji, who proceeds to drop out of a helicopter flying above the area while greeting the crowd below as Ichigo watches in exasperation.Don Kanonji jams the end of his Super Spirits Stick into the hole in the center of the chest of the Jibakurei in an attempt to quickly purify it.
As Don Kanonji deploys a large parachute to land safely, Ichigo asks Rukia if they should not perform Konsō on the Jibakurei, but Rukia asserts that it is fine because it will likely take months or even years for him to become a Hollow before noting that they should perform it after this is over because it would be a mess if a Hollow ran wild in a crowd like this. While Ichigo protests, Don Kanonji declares that this area smells like bad spirits as the crowd follows along, to Ichigo's chagrin. Rukia assures Ichigo that it is alright because Souls are in much more pain right before they become a Hollow and the Jibakurei does not appear to be in pain right now, which Ichigo grudgingly acknowledges. As Don Kanonji inspects the Jibakurei, who demands to know who he is, Rukia states that it will take at least six more months for the Jibakurei to become a Hollow as long as no one irritates the hole in his chest. Suddenly, Don Kanonji declares that he will have to use his Super Spirits Stick to finish him off quickly and jams the end of it into the hole of the Jibakurei.
Ichigo is tackled by several security guards as he tries to stop Don Kanonji.While the Jibakurei screams in agony and Rukia asserts that he will turn into a Hollow right now at this rate, Uryū Ishida prepares to grab onto the rope barricade, but retracts his hand as Ichigo vaults over and runs toward Don Kanonji while demanding that he stop. Upon seeing this, one of the staff members orders security to stop him, leading to Ichigo being tackled by five uniformed men. As the announcer informs the audience that an overexcited young man has rushed into the battle zone and been restrained by security, Ichigo tells the security team to let him go before something terrible happens, and the staff decide to cut to a commercial break.

During the period from June 18th to July 17th, several significant events occurred:

On July 15th, Ichigo's friends gathered outside an abandoned hospital in Karakura Town, where Don Kanonji was filming an episode of his TV show, "Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip." Despite Ichigo's reluctance, he attended the event with his family.
Orihime apologized to Ichigo for trying to involve him in imitating Don Kanonji's pose and laugh, unaware of his dislike for the show. Ichigo explained that he accompanied his family, who are fans of the show, and reassured Orihime.
Rukia revealed her lack of knowledge about the event's purpose but encouraged Ichigo to enjoy himself and take a break from his responsibilities.
Rukia explained the concept of Jibakurei to Ichigo, describing them as souls attached to places due to unresolved regrets or attachments.
A Jibakurei, bound by chains to the hospital, manifested and declared his intention to prevent anyone from taking the hospital, revealing his selfish motivations.
Don Kanonji arrived, attempting to purify the Jibakurei using his Super Spirits Stick, despite warnings from Rukia and Ichigo.
Ichigo attempted to stop Don Kanonji, fearing the consequences of aggravating the Jibakurei's condition, but was restrained by security guards.
These events highlighted Ichigo's concern for the well-being of spirits and his willingness to intervene, even at personal risk. Additionally, they showcased the dynamics between Ichigo, his friends, and the supernatural occurrences in Karakura Town.
