1. Before the battle
9 linesThe concentration of Reishi in the Seireitei is dropping!
What's causing it?
There's a hole in the Soul Shield Membrane!
That can only mean the "key" has arrived to open the "gate."
The Shihakusho that Ichigo Kurosaki is wearing is likely an Ouken woven out of the bones and hair of members of Squad Zero.
It's thanks to the durability and protective qualities of the Shihakusho that Ichigo was able to pass unscathed through the seventy-two-layer barrier that lies between the Royal Palace and the Seireitei.
However, based on the regenerative rate of the Soul Shield Membrane, it will take 6,000 seconds before the opening can close again.
And during that interval...a rift allowing passage to and from the Royal Palace will lie open.
That blasted Squad Zero. What could they be thinking?
