The movie opens with a beautiful mother and her young son (Ichigo) walking home in the rain. The boy sees a female child getting drenched so he runs to offer her his umbrella. The next scene shows the severely injured mother after protecting her child. Sadly, the confrontation will take her life.
After the intro, the film picks up several years later. Ichigo is now a fifteen-year-old high school student. He is currently engaged in a fight with 3 youths, who recklessly tipped over a vase of flowers while skateboarding. A young, deceased boy is watching, however, only Ichigo can see him. In fact, all of his life, Ichigo has been able to see ghosts.
Ichigo arrives home late, which results in an argument with his father. Frustrated, he skips dinner and goes directly to his room. He discovers a dark haired girl dressed in a black kimono. She is shocked that he can see her. She introduces herself as Rukia Kuchiki, a soul reaper, and explains to him that his spiritual pressure is high, which attracts hollows. They hear a commotion downstairs. Yuzu heard a scary voice. Suddenly, a huge hand crashes into their home and grabs Yuzu! Ichigo and Rukia give chase.
While trying to defeat the Hollow, and protect Ichigo, Rukia is injured. The only way they can survive is if Ichigo becomes a reaper. By piercing him with her sword, Rukia is able to transfer some of her power to Ichigo so he may become a temporary soul reaper. After receiving reaper powers, Ichigo defeats the Fishbone Hollow.
