The Bount leader Jin Kariya has absorbed the immense power of the Jokai Crest and now threatens all of the Soul Society with utter destruction. The former scientist Rantao, co-creator of the Bounts, naively hoped to save Kariya from the purge of the Soul Reapers, but the little Bount boy she remembers is now a cold-blooded killer. Only Ichigo stands in his way, and the two face off. When it looks darkest for Ichigo, the substitute Soul Reaper finds his inner power, White Ichigo!
