Episode 24 - Assemble! The 13 Divisions! - March 22nd, 2005

Kuukaku introduces her own personal giant fireworks platform, the Kakaku Cannon. She explains that as the Seireitei has all-round protection by a spherical barrier that blocks out and dissolves spirit power, the only way they can get into the Seireitei nice and easy is for her to shot them up with her Kakaku Cannon and plop them into the Seireitei. To do so, they need to be able to use the spirit orb to create a barrier around themselves strong enough to penetrate the Seireitei’s. Ichigo’s having a little problem with that, but manages after a few tips from Ganju. Meetings for both Lieutenants and Captains are called and at the Captains’ meeting, there’s a little debate going on about the actions of Ichimaru Gin.
