This episode marks the first time Soifon and Yoruichi have a conversation, though it is relatively brief. Soifon is first introduced as the captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13 and is already at odds with Yoruichi, the former captain of the 2nd Division who disappeared 100 years ago. The two engage in a brief verbal exchange, with Yoruichi teasing Soifon about her short stature.
