In Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has undone the lock on the Bount data and begins explaining the Bount and Quincy history to Captains Ukitake, Kyoraku, and Hitsugaya. At some point in the past, the Bounts and Quincy had a battle. During this time, the Bount started eating living human souls to increase their power. They came to the conclusion that, whenever the Bount are about to do something of a large scale, they absorb living human souls, leading them to believe that the number of living human souls attacked will escalate now that the current Bount situation is coming to a head.
