Hiyori, now being held by Shinji, begins to succumb to the Hollowfication process and attacks Shinji without warning. When Hachi arrived, he bound Mashiro and Kensei using Kidō. Even while working as a team they were overpowered by the brutal attacks from the former fellow Shinigami. When the group finally arrived they found Hiyori and then themselves under attack by a Hollowfied Kensei and Mashiro. Urahara's lieutenant, Hiyori Sarugaki was already on her way to collect samples of the disappearance site per Urahara's request. Captains Shinji Hirako of the 5th Division, Love Aikawa of the 7th Division and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi of the 3rd Division, along with the Kidō Corps' lieutenant Hachigen Ushōda and Kyōraku's lieutenant Lisa Yadōmaru, all set out to find the missing Shinigami. When their Reiatsu disappeared in a manner similar to the previous disappearances, the Gotei 13 became worried and sent out a new investigation team personally hand picked by Captain-Commander Yamamoto to see what had happened. They were all mysteriously cut down by a then-unknown assailant that succeeded in taking them all by surprise using some unknown method. Due to this, the 9th Division's command structure took it upon themselves to investigate the situation: Kensei Muguruma, then-captain of the Ninth Division, Mashiro Kuna, his lieutenant at the time, and their subordinates (comprising the 3rd to 6th Seats). The situation caused a great uproar in the Gotei 13 as investigative groups were sent out and not heard from again. From left to right: Hachi, Love, Kensei, Hiyori, Shinji, Lisa, Rose, and Mashiro.Īround 100 years before the current storyline, people in Soul Society started to disappear, but more than simple death, there were no bodies found only the victims' clothes remained. The Visored, as they appear 100 years ago (top) and present time (bottom). Visored are the result of when a Hollow with similar make up of an Asauchi enter their soul and merge with their Zanpakutō. Instead, they expressively confirm themselves enemies of Aizen, and by extension, the Espada, and state that they are allies of Ichigo Kurosaki. Even after the events that made them outlaws by Soul Society 100 years ago, the Visored bear no ill will toward the Gotei 13, but they prefer not to consider themselves allies of the former organization they belonged to either. Their intentions are eventually revealed when they arrive at the Battle of the Fake Karakura Town. The Visored do not have any sort of hierarchy, preferring a loose-knit organization. However, they are still considered to be valuable allies in the war against Sōsuke Aizen's army of Arrancar, according to Kisuke Urahara. When they approach Ichigo Kurosaki, they come across as reclusive and loyal only to themselves. They are considered criminals by the Soul Society for committing the ultimate taboo of acquiring Hollow powers their status as former leaders of Soul Society also marks them as traitors. The Visored are former captain- and lieutenant-level Shinigami. This process of donning one's Hollow mask is referred to as Hollowfication. Their spiritual pressure likewise changes into a mix of Hollow and Shinigami. This allows them to augment their Shinigami abilities with Hollow powers, as well as giving them access to some of the more generic Hollow abilities. To gain access to their Hollow powers, a Visored dons a Hollow mask. Having begun as Shinigami, the Visored appear entirely Human and, barring when they are using their powers, are indistinguishable from ordinary Shinigami. The Visored are the antithesis to the Arrancar as Shinigami who have obtained Hollow powers.
