Dōsan Hanyū confronted a reality-bending Domain, entered Central 46’s leadership, and became entangled in an attack by fighters from the future. He crossed into another world with Rukia, Renji, and Tōshirō, but emerged alone in Karakura Town, where Orihime and Tatsuki took him in.

• Dōsan maintained a barrier during the Visoreds’ battle with the Arrancar, then faced Jin'ya in a destructive Kidō and Hakuda duel.

• Dōsan identified Renji and Rukia among the attackers, then took them and Tōshirō through a membrane between worlds, arriving alone in Karakura Town and accepting Orihime and Tatsuki’s help.
• Rukia woke in Ichigo’s closet, and Tatsuki’s attempt to cook for Dōsan went awry.
