Challenging the Vices Saga (万力の佐賀に挑戦, Manriki no Saga ni chōsen) is the term that denotes the events leading up to and including the attempted rescue of Akiye by Kentaro Hiroshi and the Rookie Six, which begins a mere two weeks after the Soul Society arc. Events run concurrent with the Liberation Saga; with both stories effectively tying up the story-line of Part II. The events surrounding this incident would later become known throughout the Reikai as Kentaro's Vendetta and the Imawashī's Folly, becoming legendary following the Collapse, being regarded openly as Kentaro's crowning achievement and the first time he carved a path for himself separate from his father's achievements.
