Bounts! The Soul Hunters!

At Urahara's shop, Kisuke discusses the Bount with Ichigo and his friends, and orders the modified souls, Lirin, Noba, and Kurodo, to accompany them. The group subsequently locates a pair of Bount, Yoshino Soma and Ryo Udagawa. As Udagawa retreats, Ichigo begins to battle Yoshino, who summons her "doll" Goethe, a Familiar unique to every Bount.
