Story

The game takes place between Sōsuke Aizen's betrayal of Soul Society and Ichigo Kurosaki's departure from Soul Society. It reveals more storyline of Ichigo and his friends in Soul Society, which is corrupted with Hollows, seemingly by Aizen. A mod-soul attempts to destroy all of the Shinigami because the Shinigami feel that mod-souls have no right to exist. At the end, he is convinced by Ichigo to live his life and that he is not alone. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto promises that all existing mod-souls will be allowed to live their lives. The ending shows where Ichigo bids farewell to Rukia Kuchiki as in the end of the Soul Society Rescue Arc.
