110 years prior to the start of the series, the then-fifth division captain, Shinji Hirako, is approached by then-fifth division lieutenant, Sosuke Aizen, about preparations for the new captain of 12th division. Yoruichi Shihoin and Kisuke Urahara are sparring in their private training area until Yoruichi Shihōin tells him that she has recommended him for the position of 12th Division Captain. Soi Fon, immediately distrusting Urahara because of what she has seen of his person and his dwelling, follows him around town in order to prove to Yoruichi that he is not worth being chosen for that responsibility. Yoruichi, however, after seeing Soi Fon's proof on paper, disregards it as a love letter. It turns out that Urahara and a group of Soul Reaper were tailing a group of deserters who had abandoned the Seireitei of their own admonition and sent to stop them. After they are taken care of, Urahara passes the qualification exam and shows up to the captain's meeting.
