Following the events in Bleach, Vol. 6, Rukia Kuchiki, the former Soul Reaper who imparted her powers to Ichigo, is now a fugitive. The Soul Society is highly displeased with her transgression of bestowing Soul Reaper abilities upon a human, and as a result, they have dispatched two of their most formidable agents to resolve the situation. Their mission is clear: apprehend Rukia and bring her back to the Soul Society to face punishment, and simultaneously, eliminate Ichigo permanently for possessing stolen powers.

However, an unexpected obstacle stands in the path of the Soul Society's elite agents: Uryū Ishida, a Quincy. As a member of the Quincy, a clan with a long-standing rivalry with Soul Reapers, Uryū's intervention introduces an unpredictable element to the confrontation. His presence complicates the Soul Society's mission, setting the stage for a three-way conflict as they attempt to execute their orders.

The story continues in Bleach, Vol. 8.
