![]() Rukia sees a suspicious bruise on her leg, not consistent at all with her near-accident, and asks her about it, but she brushes the whole thing off, seeing that she considers herself a klutz, and gets into accidents constantly. On the street, Rukia and Ichigo encounter Orihime after she nearly gets run over by a car. He’s then suddenly accosted by two hollows, and taken to a netherworld, where his soul is devoured, and he is transformed into a hollow himself. Orihime, the clueless girl we met before, apparently has a stalker, who looks at her intently through her bedroom window. On seeing a small boy being attacked, Ichigo has a change of heart (kind of) and slays the hollow, then sends the dead boy to the Soul Society. She gets her new orders, then she drags Ichigo along unwillingly for his first official job. The afterlife is pretty high-tech in the Bleach universe Rukia apparently communicates with her superiors via cellphone. ![]() Using some sort of special glove, she literally punches the soul out of his body. Ichigo isn’t thrilled about this, and refuses, but Rukia isn’t having it. She then drops a bombshell on him in the interim, he will be required to do her job, until her powers return. This is why everyones in school can see her. We’re introduced to the concept of a “gigai”, a temporary fake body used in emergencies for non-corporeal entities such as Rukia. She informs him that he took all of her powers last night, and because of this she is unable to return to the Soul Society. Due to the current circumstances, she’s taken an active interest in him. To Ichigo’s shock, Rukia, the mysterious shinigami from the day before, appears at his school, decked out in full school uniform, masquerading as a transfer student. Another one of the show’s running jokes comes into play! Orihime has pretty awful taste in food, and shares her bizarre recipes with Tatsuki, who wants to retch at the very idea of them. Tatsuki seems to fawn a bit over Orihime, a pretty but clueless girl who may have a crush on Ichigo. The cast of characters expands to include his various schoolmates, and they basically seem to be a bunch of goofballs. We’re introduced to Sado, who’s an imposing looking guy even to Ichigo, two other guys that are on friendly terms, and two girls, Tatsuki and Orihime. This episode, the focus shifts from Ichigo’s home life to his school life. He begins to suspect that this weird amnesia and magical healing is Rukia’s doing. His perpetually manic and upbeat father claims that the damage to the house was caused by a renegade truck, and is happy that no one in his family was hurt… except they were, and were inexplicably healed, but only Ichigo remembers the series of actual events. Neither Ichigo’s father, nor his two sisters, seem to remember anything from the night before. Greetings, welcome to Day 2! Episode 2 continues directly in the aftermath of the hollow attack on Ichigo’s house the night before.
