After several months of relative peace with the odd Hollow attack. Ichigo is approached by a man named Shinji who reveals he too has both Shinigami and Hollow powers. His appearance soon coincides with the coming of the Arrancar, human-looking Hollows who wield shinigami-like powers, who have taken an interest in Ichigo's hometown and Ichigo himself.Main Summary
Arrancar Invasion Arc has the following tropes
- Power Limiter: During the second attack most of the Gotei 13 can't fight at their strongest as they're limiting their power. They just barely hold off the onslaught until finally given permission, managing to turn the fight around.
- You Kill It, You Bought It: How Grimmjow gets his position back, by killing Luppi to regain it
