Plot
Agent of the Shinigami arc
Bulbous about to attack.
Bulbous initially crosses over to Karakura Town, attracted by the Hollow bait set off by Uryū. Upon arrival, he notices Chad's Reiryoku and makes his way to him. He tries to land on Chad in an attempt to defeat him, but misses and lands right behind him. He gets up taking a swing at Chad, but the Human pushes his two friends, Harutoki and Gitano out of the way and dodges the blow. Bulbous tries another strike, which Chad evades. When he realizes he is the target for the attack, Chad turns back and runs away as Bulbous follows him.[2]
Bulbous catches up to Chad in a football field and attempts another attack, which Chad dodges. To his surprise, Bulbous finds another target with high Reiryoku in the field, Karin Kurosaki.[3] Bulbous tries to sneak up on Chad while he is talking to Karin, but she warns him and he manages to dodge again. Bulbous then tries to blindside Chad, but he is once again warned by Karin and runs away, prompting the Hollow to give chase. Bulbous tries an attack from the left side, but Chad is prepared this time and manages to hit the Hollow's hand with his fist. However, Bulbous' next attack connects, sending Chad flying through the air and leaving a gash in his head.[4]

He and Chad lunge at each other, but Chad, wearing his newly formed gauntlet, smashes his mask with a single punch and defeats him.[6]
