Ramen Guy continues to mess around with Ichigo. I never knew Vitamin C was good for treating back/shoulder pain and spirit possession. Summary: The ramen guy asks how much Ichigo knows about his own family, but the conversation is interrupted by Ikumi. Ikumi tells the ramen guy that she'll think about the job and tells the ramen guy to leave. The ramen guy complies but before leaving he tells Ichigo to head to Urahara's shop to see something interesting. After leaving the shop, the ramen guy is met by his comrades Riruka (girl in maid-like dress) and Kutsuzawa (one eyed butler). Riruka makes fun of the ramen guy for getting the cold shoulder, but the ramen guy tells her to shut up and leave. At Urahara's shop, Karin buys a bunch of anti-spirit/hollow products, but Urahara refuses to accept her money because he owes Ichigo. As Karin gets ready to leave, Urahara asks about Ichigo, and Karin states that she'll protect her brother if he doesn't get his power back. Outside the shop, Ichigo spots Karin leaving and wonders what she was doing at the shop. The ramen guy then shows up and warns Ichigo to be wary of Urahara. Ichigo asks the guy what his name is, and the guy states that he is Ginjou Kuugo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We finally learned what the ramen guy's name was and also learned that he is not alone, but beyond that everything is still moving at the slow and steady pace. Ginjou is messing with Ichigo, and it looks like Ichigo is starting to sway due to Ginjou's talk. There might be some decent drama here if Ichigo starts becoming suspicious of his own family and former allies. It still might be a while before we find out what Ginjou and company are really after though. As for Karin, she appears to be on route to follow Ichigo's footsteps, but she is starting out with low-level stuff first by using Urahara's wacky products. Will the story be able to make a shinigami out of her, or will Ichigo somehow put a stop to it? From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time
