28 May, 2008
Amagai orders the third division to perform several menial missions and training exercises to build trust within the division members. However, Kira believes that Amagai wishes to replace him with Kifune due to attention the division members give to him. One evening, Kira and Kifune investigate an old execution ground with division member Seko Shinta. The three fall into the execution pit, which is filled with caged hollows. Kira and Kifune easily defeat the hollows, but one of the hollows manages to absorb Shinta. When Kifune attempts to kill the hollow with Shinta, Kira stops his attack, and Kifune cites Shinta's lack of skill as the reason he should die. Amagai arrives and reveals that he created the entire affair. The following morning, Lurichiyo enters the Kasumi-Ooji family household.
