Zaraki and Unohana finished the Kenpachi training arc. The strongest sword let go of the limiters he placed on himself. The younger Zaraki always held himself back. Because he was afraid, he would never feel the rush of dueling Unohana again. Her defeat let Zaraki look forward to more challenging opponents.
The topic of swords led directly to Renji and Ichigo's circumstances in repairing their bankais. Nimaiya, the inventor of zanpakutos, tested their souls. Renji passed the trial when a new sword chose him. But no generic sword selected Ichigo. He didn't know his true self, so his personality couldn't influence any sword.
Nimaiya sent Ichigo back home. He couldn't face his father yet, so Ichigo ran off to his part-time job at Unagiya's. Isshin followed Ichigo there, dressed in his shinigami captain's uniform! It was time for Ichigo to know everything about his parents' pasts. Isshin was a Shiba! That's why Rukia thought Ichigo looked like her late lieutenant Kaien Shiba. Isshin was also the captain for Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto. Isshin's playful attitude matched the future captain and lieutenant.
Isshin was in charge of investigating missing shinigami. Their disappearances came from Aizen's experimentation on the hollowfication of dead shinigami. Isshin fought the Black Hollow that looked like Ichigo's hollow form! We also saw Masaki Kurosaki, a Quincy princess, save Isshin. The Black Hollow bit her before she killed it. Aizen saw all this happen, eager to see what happened next. Ryuuken Ishida and Katagiri, his future wife, watched Quincy royalty befriend a shinigami captain. That was how Ichigo became part human, part shinigami, part hollow, part full bringer, and part Quincy! What powers will his new zanpakuto have?
The end card shows the moment Isshin and Masaki fell in love.
