Bleach question I have an awful memory?

Question

ok so chad and orihime are going back to the soul society using the senkai gate that the bounts left, but how did they get trnasforme dinto soul form the first time? and wat about uryu ishida?

Answer 1

They got in there the first time because of urahara's special senkai gate, and because of the path along which they traveled. That was for Chad, Orihime, and Ishida. The gate allowed them to be transformed into souls so that they could successfully enter the soul society Watch episode 19 and you can see for yourself, if you'd like

Answer 2

Alllright, so Gonju's sister Kukkaku Shiba had trnsported them along with Ichigo to the soul society using a cannon, and they were protected in a sphere-like orb so they would'nt die during the impact when they broke the force field of the soul society.

This was really early in the series, and it was before Ichigo and his crew knew any of the soul reaper captains and leutenants, and it was around the first time that they met Yoruichi and didnt see her human form yet, also it was before Icxhigo knew Bankai or Flash Step, and before Orihime and Chad got special powers, and before they knew that Uryu was a quincy.
