Hiyori, however, is not happy about it. The old captain was something of a mother figure to her, and she hates Urahara for replacing her. Urahara helps her gain a more nuanced view of him with a trip to the Maggot's Nest, which is a prison for Shinigami deemed too dangerous to remain outside, including deserters, potential subversives, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Urahara proves his hand-to-hand combat chops by stopping an attempted prison riot with his bare hands (weapons aren't allowed in the prison), and Hiyori gains a grudging respect for him.

To answer that, we go back long before Ichigo was born, to a time when Aizen still wore glasses and Shinji had long hair. Back at this time, Shinji Hirako was the captain of the 5th division, but still a ButtMonkey to Hiyori, who at this point was the lieutenant of the 12th. Love was the captain of the 7th, and Hiyori's self-appointed babysitter. Rose was the captain of the 3rd, and Yoruichi was captain of the 2nd. Squad 12 was getting an new captain after the old one was promoted to the Royal Guard, and Yoruichi offered Kisuke Urahara, her 3rd Seat, the job. And after a bit of zany hijinks with Sui Feng trying to prove him unfit and Yoruichi thinking Sui Feng was stalking him, he gets the job.

Meanwhile, a young Byakuya was a lot more emotional and easily goaded than in the present day. Ukitake and Kaien Shiba have tea together and Kaien, despite misgivings, eventually agrees to become Ukitake's lieutenant. The two discuss a young prodigy, later revealed to be Gin Ichimaru. Gin is just as creepy in the past as in the present, being introduced killing the third seat of the 5th division while Aizen watches.
Nine years later, there's trouble in Rukongai. Several citizens have disappeared, devoured from within by a strange white substance, while three shadowed figures watch. Squad 9, lead by Kensei and including Mashiro and a young Tosen, investigates the vanished citizens, but all they find is a massive Hollow. Kensei defeats it and saves the life of a young Hisagi, which would later inspire him to become a Shinigami himself. Unfortunately, their victory is cut short when Mashiro reveals she's found something- the empty uniforms of the investigative group before them. The sashes are still tied and their socks are still in their sandals, making it even more unlikely than usual that they all decided to strip naked and search for missing citizens in their birthday suits. Kensei concludes that whatever happened to the missing citizens happened to the first investigation team, and asks Squad 12 to send someone over to take a scientific look at the situation (they choose Hiyori). He himself, along with his investigation team, decide to stick around Rukongai to continue looking for the potential enemy of Soul Society that caused this.
Later that night, Kensei's group is all killed by a mysterious assailant, except for Mashiro, who was asleep through the whole thing, and Kensei, who was just stabbed. Kensei recognizes his attacker, who is not shown to the audience, but given that Kensei being attacked was preceded by him being trapped in darkness and he only recognized his attacker once the guy stabbed him, one can make an educated guess.
The spirit energy of Kensei and his squad all vanish, which of course freaks out everyone else. Yamamoto sends out Love, Rose, Lisa, and Hatchi, lieutenant of the Kido Corps, to the scene. Urahara is not supposed to go, but he regrets sending Hiyori out there alone and sneaks out, accompanied by Tessai, the captain of the Kido Corps. Urahara is right to be worried, as Hiyori is in trouble. She's being attacked by a Hollowified Kensei. And while Shinji saves her, they're still dealing with a berserk Hollow Captain. And to make matters worse, Mashiro is now a Hollow too, and also attacks the rescue team. Hatchi manages to trap both Hollows with Bakudo, but that's when Hiyori throws the team a curveball by turning into a Hollow herself. And, before they can do anything to stop her, Tosen incapacitates all of them but Shinji with his Bankai.
As the audience probably knew already, all the disappearances and the Hollows were Aizen's doing, and Tosen was on his side all along. Shinji had suspected that Aizen was not trustworthy (which is why he made Aizen his lieutenant, to keep a close eye on him), but Aizen was one step ahead of him. He used Kyoka Suigetsu to disguise someone else as him for the past month, making Shinji think that Aizen was always with him, when in fact he was off turning random Soul Society citizens (and later, random Shinigami) into Hollows for his experiments. Shinji tries to attack Aizen, but is stopped when he, along with the others, start to Hollowfy. Shinji is still capable of fighting in his half-hollow state, and attacks Tousen. He wins, but struggles with controlling himself while slowly turning into a Hollow. Aizen tries to finish him off, but this is when Urahara intervenes.
Aizen retreats when Urahara doesn't buy his story about just happening upon the investigation team already injured and then trying to save them, but the battle isn't over yet. Urahara tries to use his incomplete Hogyoku to save the Visored, but it doesn't quite work, and the next morning, he and Tessai are arrested. Aizen has framed them for Hollowfying the Visored. Yoruichi breaks them out and takes them to her hideout along with the still-Hollowfying (and unconscious) Visored. Urahara vows to save them, and they all leave for the World of the Living.

Hiyori, however, is not happy about it. The old captain was something of a mother figure to her, and she hates Urahara for replacing her. Urahara helps her gain a more nuanced view of him with a trip to the Maggot's Nest, which is a prison for Shinigami deemed too dangerous to remain outside, including deserters, potential subversives, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Urahara proves his hand-to-hand combat chops by stopping an attempted prison riot with his bare hands (weapons aren't allowed in the prison), and Hiyori gains a grudging respect for him.
Meanwhile, a young Byakuya was a lot more emotional and easily goaded than in the present day. Ukitake and Kaien Shiba have tea together and Kaien, despite misgivings, eventually agrees to become Ukitake's lieutenant. The two discuss a young prodigy, later revealed to be Gin Ichimaru. Gin is just as creepy in the past as in the present, being introduced killing the third seat of the 5th division while Aizen watches.
Nine years later, there's trouble in Rukongai. Several citizens have disappeared, devoured from within by a strange white substance, while three shadowed figures watch. Squad 9, lead by Kensei, investigates the vanished citizens, but all they find is a massive Hollow. Kensei defeats it and saves the life of a young Hisagi, which would later inspire him to become a Shinigami himself. Unfortunately, their victory is cut short when Mashiro reveals she's found something- the empty uniforms of the investigative group before them. The sashes are still tied and their socks are still in their sandals, making it even more unlikely than usual that they all decided to strip naked and search for missing citizens in their birthday suits. Kensei concludes that whatever happened to the missing citizens happened to the first investigation team, and asks Squad 12 to send someone over to take a scientific look at the situation (they choose Hiyori). He himself, along with his investigation team, decide to stick around Rukongai to continue looking for the potential enemy of Soul Society that caused this.

A flashback arc revealing the past of Kisuke Urahara when he was appointed the Captain of Squad 12, as well as the past lives of the people who would become the Visoreds.
We've been introduced to Kisuke Urahara and the Visored. But who were they, back before they became the rogue Shinigami we all know and love? How exactly did they gain their Hollow powers? What would we see, if we were to turn back the pendulum to a time when they were still normal members of the Gotei 13?
To answer that, we go back long before Ichigo was born, to a time when Aizen still wore glasses and Shinji had long hair. Back at this time, Shinji Hirako was the captain of the 5th division, but still a ButtMonkey to Hiyori, who at this point was the lieutenant of the 12th. Love was the captain of the 7th, and Hiyori's self-appointed babysitter. Rose was the captain of the 3rd, and Yoruichi was captain of the 2nd. Squad 12 was getting an new captain after the old one was promoted to the Royal Guard, and Yoruichi offered Kisuke Urahara, her 3rd Seat, the job. And after a bit of zany hijinks with Sui Feng trying to prove him unfit and Yoruichi thinking Sui Feng was stalking him, he gets the job.

Downer Ending is a trope that applies to the end of a story, not the end of an arc. Also, splitting the Arrancar Arc into smaller arcs is fanon. The author himself announced the Arrancar Arc spanned the end of the Soul Society arc to the end of Deicide.
