A massive blaze erupts in a desert. In the middle of the now subsiding inferno, the former Captain of the 5th Division, Sōsuke Aizen, is recovering from the attack. From the outside of the ring of flames enters you, keenly aware of the Soul Reaper's presence.

Aizen: Huh? You can see me?

Aizen: Did you see that?
