The Bleach Soul Society: the Sneak Entry arc is the second story arc of the Bleach anime series. The episodes are directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by TV Tokyo, Dentsu, and Studio Pierrot.[1] In the English release by Viz Media, the title is translated as The Entry.[2] It is based on Tite Kubo's Bleach manga series, and adapts the ninth through fourteenth volumes of its source material over twenty one episodes. The plot of the episodes centers around Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends' journey to Soul Society in order to save shinigami Rukia Kuchiki from her impending execution.
The arc initially ran from March to July 2005 in Japan on TV Tokyo.[1] The first English airing of the series lasted from February to July 2007. It was shown on both YTV's Bionix and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming blocks.[1] The English airdates given for episodes twenty-one through twenty-six are the dates the episodes aired on Bionix, as they premiered the episodes a day before Adult Swim until the show went into reruns on Bionix.
