In the Teka'ichi Bud?okai, the martial arts tournament that awards the "Strongest Under the Heavens" title, Son Goku makes it to the finals, but the six other finalists all have their own special moves, and Son Goku wonders if he is prepared for the challenge.

Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a Soul Reaper after a Soul Reaper named Rukia lends him her power to protect his family from a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on the psychic energy of humans. Then, Ichigo must protect Chad when he comes into contact with a spirit hiding in a parakeet, and confronts the Grand Fisher, the Hollow most likely responsible for his mother's death.

"Ichigo may have thought getting into the Soul Society was hard, but it did nothing to prepare him and his friends for the reality of the Seireitei! Now the rescuers are all split up, forced to take on battle-hardened Soul Reapers without backup. Can Ichigo train hard enough and fast enough to take down Rukia's jailer before it's too late?!"--Back cover.

"It's the day of reckoning and Ichigo must fight Byakuya Kuchiki one on one, whether or not his bankai is battle-ready. Meanwhile the mastermind behind the chaos in the Seireitei is about to be revealed, but will the truth spell the end of the Soul Society?!"--Back cover.

With Rukia's execution looming, Ichigo and the rest of the rescue squad must find a way to break her out of the prison as her sentence has been moved up and imprisonment is close to breaking her spirit.

As Toriko revels in the taste of his latest gourmet hunt, a Puffer Whale, a mysterious, odd-looking creature that does not seem to be alive makes an appearance.

Goku uses his last bit of strength to blow a hole in the wall of the dungeon where he and Bulma are being held captive and the pair must find a way to stop Lord Pilaf from using the seven Dragon Balls to destroy the world.

"Every time a promising villain appears, Saitama beats the snot out of 'em with one punch! Can he finally find an opponent who can go toe-to-toe with him and give his life some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?"--Provided by publisher.

"Goku and Piccolo finally face each other down in the final match of the Tenka'ichi Bud?kai! Piccolo is ready and willing to unleash all his power to win--something Goku may hesitate to do. Taking down Piccolo will take all of Goku's skill and wits...and courage! But after the tournament is over, life goes on. There will be new enemies to face and even more surprising new allies!"--Back cover.
