Random Curiosity

Summary:
In the fake Karakura Town, Aizen taunts Shinji and brags about his power and about how trusting others is for weaklings. Komamura and Hisagi fight Tousen, and they recall his betrayal.

「番外編 企画会議！」 (Bangai-hen – Kikaku Kaigi!)
“Extra Chapter – Project Meeting!”

Judging by Yui’s bangs (or lack thereof), this first of two side story episodes takes place some time after the graduation photos in episode 21 and before their entrance exams in episode 22.

「千の風、美の尋めゆき」 (Sen no Kaze, Bi no Tomeyuki)
“A thousand wind, the search for beauty”

「乱戯ノ塔」 (Rangi no Tou)
“Tower of Confusion”
