قسمت 312: اومایدا در حالی که ریوزابورو را از حفره نجات می‌دهد، خود را کاپیتان جا می‌زند

312

Oomaeda, realizing he overslept from his nap on his way to a meeting with Soi Fon, falls off a cliff and lands on a hollow, who was attacking a boy. When the hollow retreats, Oomaeda, claiming to be the "captain" of the second division, is invited by the boy named Ryuzaburo back to his village, where the villagers serve Oomaeda food to express their gratitude for saving Ryuzaburo. The next day, Oomaeda rushes back to the second division barracks and apologizes to Soi Fon, who states that his absence was not missed, but she assigned him to clean up the Seireitei grounds alone as punishment. Meanwhile, Ichigo and Yoruichi allow Ryuzaburo and his two friends into the Seireitei to find the "captain" of the second division. When they arrive at the second division barracks, Oomaeda begs Ichigo and Yoruichi to go along with the story, to which Yoruichi agrees and Ichigo is rather reluctant. While Oomaeda and the three boys are walking in the streets, they cross paths with Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa, who, through explanation from Ichigo and Yoruichi, play along with the story in order to get some cash from Oomaeda. Yumichika then tells Rangiku, who brings tea to Oomaeda to follow as well. In the end, even Soi Fon plays along with the story by doing chores for Oomaeda after being persuaded by Yoruichi. However, at the end of the day, the three boys overhear Ikkaku and Yumichika discussing the fact that Oomaeda would never become a captain. Ryuzaburo becomes angry at Oomaeda and runs home, only to be stopped by the hollow from the day before, but Oomaeda saves him and bids him farewell. The three boys return to their village and Soi Fon beats Oomaeda up for insulting her. (Source: Wikipedia)
