Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryuu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Yoruichi Shihouin cross over into the Soul Society using the gate. They arrive in the Rukon District, where normal spirits reside. Ichigo quickly finds himself in a battle with the gatekeeper Jidanbou when he carelessly tries to enter the Seireitei, where the Soul Reapers reside. Thanks to Urahara's training, Ichigo easily defeats Jidanbou, but when Jidanbou opens the gate in defeat, Ichigo encounters the Squad Three captain Gin Ichimaru.
