One year ago, Kurosaki Ichigo, along with his nakama, ventured into Hueco Mundo, the world of the Hollows, in order to save one of their comrades, Inoue Orihime. In the process, Kuchiki Rukia went head-to-head against an Arrancar that was able to imitate the attacks, appearance, and personality of Shiba Kaien, the man who had trained Rukai to reach Shikai, who had had her utmost respect and treated her like a normal person, and had been killed by her. Though Rukia was able to destroy this Arrancar, in the process her reiatsu faded, causing her nakama in Las Noches to believe her to be dead. After Ichigo was able to defeat Grimmjow, he took Inoue with him to gather up the rest of the group and attempted to retrieve Rukia in the process, but were tragically forced to retreat due to multiple injuries upon the party and refusal of aid from Soul Society, despite the fact that several captains attempted to sway the old man Yama.
Now, Aizen continues to attempt to find a way to either the King's Key, or use Karakura as a means to create one. Ichigo & Co. have since been able to hold back the forces of Hueco Mundo and have also received direct aid from Soul Society in the form of the following Shinigami: Hitsugaya Toshiro and his Vice-Captain Matsumoto Rangiku, Commander of the Secret Mobile Corps Soi Fong, Vice-Captain Abarai Renji, and the dependable Madarame Ikkaku and Yumichika of the 11th squad. Though the defenders of the living world are still somewhat biased against most of Soul Society's methods, there is a slight reconciliation.
Though the Vizard are still technically neutral, if needed lest disaster strike, they extend just enough aid to keep the Arrancar from being victorious, but they have no real desire to help as of yet. However, there have been reports of a mysterious soldier of Aizen's, not an Arrancar, who is quite gifted and uses the power of ice to freeze opponents and bears a Hollow mask, yet wears Shinigami robes. Who this is, Soul Society is quite curious to and is attempting to find out. As of yet, they have only discovered that the character is a Vizard, not of the original group, and that it has seemed saddened on the few occasions that anyone lives after seeing it...
