Episode 111 Title: "Shock! The True Characters of the Fathers" |
"Kyogaku! Oyajitachi no shotai"
After rescuing Ishida from the arrancar attacking him, Ryūken offers to restore his powers provided he never again associates with the shinigami. Meanwhile, Kon is still running through town in an attempt to evade Grand Fisher. Despite receiving help from Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba, he is eventually caught. Just as he is about to be killed, Isshin Kurosaki steps in to save him, dressed in shinigami clothing. Both Ichigo and Shinji become aware of a new presence, though neither are able to identify it as Isshin. Curious, Ichigo decides to leave in order to check it out, but not before turning down Shinji's invitation. After a short conversation between Grand Fisher and Isshin, during which Isshin makes it clear that he's been aware of Kon, Ririn, Kuroud, and Noba as well as Ichigo's shinigami activities, Grand Fisher transforms into a larger version of himself and draws his zanpakutō whilst mocking Isshin. Isshin casually identifies him as an arrancar and dispatches him in a single attack.
