ตอนที่ 344: อิชิโกะและอูริวต้องเผชิญกับการลักพาตัวโดยอิกุมิ อุนางิยะ และคำเตือนจากคุโกะ กินโจ

344

Ichigo and Uryuu dispatch the gang with ease but are interrupted when Ichigo's part-time job boss, Ikumi Unagiya, kidnaps and forces him to work. Their client, the owner of the stolen bag, requests an investigation on Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo's father. Ichigo declines but is intrigued when the owner reveals that one of his younger sisters, Karin Kurosaki, had been visiting Kisuke Urahara. The owner introduces himself as Kuugo Ginjou, gives Ichigo a Xcution business card and cryptically warns him to act before his family is hurt. Uryuu, passing by Ichigo's house, pursues a strange man and is critically injured as a result. (Source: Wikipedia) The Lost Substitute Shinigami arc: (2/23)
