The Legendary Quincy
Ichigo and Rukia learn that Uryu Ishida, one of their classmates, is a Quincy. Rukia goes to see Urahara to learn more about the Quincys. Ishida challenges Ichigo to a duel while she is talking to Urahara.
Urahara explains that the Quincy's are a group of humans that died out 200 years ago. They fought Hollows, just like Soul Reapers do, but (unlike Shinigami) Quincy kill all Hollows they encounter.
The episode ends on cliffhanger after Ichigo has separated from his body and entrusted it to Kon. Uryu is getting ready to explain the rules of the duel just as the episode ends.
There's more to this episode than that but most of it is silly and played for laughs.
Ishida has appeared in at least one previous episode but this is the first time that he has received anything resembling a spotlight. He seems to be a villain here but if my memories are accurate then that's a bit of misdirection.
I like this episode. It is simple but it helps to expand the world. The humor is silly but it also adds to the episode in my eyes.
