Storyline
From Wikipedia, some edited by me...
In Karakura Town, unidentifiable spirits called "blanks" (vacant souls) begin appearing en masse. While attempting to deal with these strange souls, Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia meet Senna, a mysterious shinigami who wipes out most of them fairly quickly. Senna is evasive about her squad assignment, so Ichigo is forced to follow her while Rukia tries to find out what's going on.
Meanwhile, in Soul Society, the real world is suddenly reflected in the sky, so Hitsugaya Toushirou and Matsumoto Rangiku are sent to investigate. They meet up with Ichigo in the real world, who has lost track of Senna by this point. They discuss the events at the Urahara Shop, where Kisuke Urahara explains the reason for the strange occurrences. He explains that a soul caught between the two worlds is acting as a conduit, linking them together.
After finding Senna again, the two spent most of the evening together, with Senna being fascinated by just about everything in sight. When they had dinner, Ichigo explained things to her. She didn't know them at all but she decided to help on one condition: Ichigo bringing her on a ride on the Ferris wheel. Ichigo then ask her, "and are you going to ride like this?' Senna then stood up on the chair and Ichigo asked again, "You really like high places, don't you?" She answered, "Well. if you look from a high place, things that were unclear until then will become clear. She turned around. Ichigo spotted the unpaid red ribbon on her hair and dragged her to the shop buying the bill for their dinner as well. When he was paying for it the shopkeeper asked if he was giving it to his girlfriend and did he need any wrapping. He then passed the package to Senna. She asked him about the Ferris wheel deal and when Ichigo declined claiming high school students are not that rich, she scolded him cheapskate. She went to the toilet to tie her hair. In the process of doing so, she thought that Ichigo had good points too. When she got out and looked outside the window, she saw the river that resides in the city. She begins to remember when she died, and decides to visit her grave. There, she is attacked by a mysterious group of people wearing vaguely shinigami-like clothing and sporting odd weaponry. Senna is no match for them, but is rescued by Ichigo, who severs the arm of the one attacking Senna. The group then disappears without a trace.
After Senna helps a kid[a wandering soul] find his father, Senna is eventually revealed to be the Shinenju, and a fair amount of the Gotei 13 shows up to deal with the problem. Ichigo tries to defend Senna, but before either side can act, the mysterious group from before shows up. They identify themselves as the "Dark Ones" and set their sights on Senna once again. The many vacant souls wandering around fuel their abilities, making them almost impossible to stop. Despite Ichigo's efforts, they succeed in escaping with Senna.
In a mountainous area, Senna is attached to a strange device, which is fueled by the same vacant souls as the 'Dark Ones' use. As the device powers up, it begins to form a gate with Senna at its core. Unwilling to give up, Ichigo goes looking around town for her, eventually finding a massive portal sitting on the river. It leads to a strange mountainous region located between Soul Society and the real world. As he enters it, Rukia heads to Soul Society to get reinforcements. Ichigo is left facing the combined might of the Dark Ones, barely able to hold his own.
In Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi explains to the other captains that the Dark Ones are attempting to break down the barrier between Soul Society and the real world altogether, destroying both worlds. Steps are taken to seal the rift just as Rukia barges into their meeting, begging for help. However, she is turned down by General Yamamoto, and is only able to bring Renji Abarai back with her. At the portal, as Rukia and Renji prepare to enter to help Ichigo, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto appear to offer their help, as well.
Within the other dimension, Ichigo finds himself overpowered by the sheer number of vacant['blank'] souls the Dark Ones have at their command. He is saved by the timely arrival of Zaraki Kenpachi, with Kusajishi Yachiru hanging from his back. Aside from Zaraki, Soifon, Kira Izuru, Kuchiki Byakuya, Iba Tetsuzaemon, Hisagi Shuuhei, Madarame Ikkaku, and Ayasegawa Yumichika have also arrived to help. Along with the four that originally entered the portal, the group makes short work of most of the Dark Ones, leaving Ichigo to battle their leader. Though it takes Ichigo longer, he is victorious, as well.
Back in the real world, all the shinigami exit the portal with Ichigo carrying Senna. Despite having broken the device meant to break down the barrier between the worlds, the process is far enough along that it doesn't go away. As Senna is the initial reason behind it, she chooses to sacrifice herself to seal the portal. She survives doing so, and is taken to her grave by Ichigo so she can pass on properly.
However, I don't think I saw her name there... Rukia then appeared and said that she never existed and that they should not remember her. Ichigo said, "Just a while longer... I think I still hear her voice..."
After the ending theme: Sen no Yoru wo Koete(千の夜をこえて)by Aqua Timez, Ichigo walked pass the site. There was quite a strong wind. The red ribbon that Ichigo gave Senna from before [and lost in the wind when Senna sensed something amiss with the portal] flew near him. He caught it and suddenly he hears Senna's voice, which turn out to be her reincarnated [I think] into a high school student [from her uniform]. Ichigo closed his eyes and smiled as she past him. Then he proceeded his way too.
This is Senna.
Isn't that nice? Haha... I'll post the lyrics and the song: Sen no Yoru wo Koete(千の夜をこえて)by Aqua Timez later today... See ya :)
