1070 P.N. - For the first time in the recorded history of Soul Society, a Hollow breaks the Bloodstone walls of Seireitei. It is primitive, but the shock of a Hollow attacking from within is enough to kill several Shinigami. Due to the Hollow's unintelligence, it is deemed a fluke.

Masaru quickly digresses his speculation of a possible conspiracy within the walls of Seireitei centuries in the making.

Abandoment of Seireitei. The Shinigami flee into Rukongai while the Hollows terrorize all of Soul Society.
