Season 10, Episode 208 - "Aizen and the Genius Boy"
24 February, 2009
Urahara takes Hiyori to the Maggots Nest, explaining on the way that its purpose is to hold people deemed potentially dangerous by the Soul Society. While they are walking through the penitentiary, a large prisoner attacks Hiyori, but Urahara easily subdues the man with his bare hand. Deep inside, a younger Mayuri Kurotsuchi is approached by Kisuke in regards to being his second in command in a new division of their own making, the Technological Research Bureau. Elsewhere, a young Byakuya Kuchiki is shown to have been easily irritated at that age, proven when Yoruichi steals his hairpiece before escaping, taunting him in the process. Ukitake tells Kaien of a boy who is to be promoted to a seat position in his squad. The boy, who easily slays the 3rd seat of the fifth division, is revealed to be a young Gin Ichimaru, under the watchful and impressed eye of Aizen.
