Send them to their burials, and engrave them in memory, Ikomikidomoe!": The 2nd release command conjures a large hollow that Hikone rides, almost like like a serpentine-looking Hooleer. It's as large as a gillian menos, and has spiritual-pressure comparable to a vasto lorde menos. First used in Soul Society against the arrancars, quincies, and fullbringers. (Image) About Ichigo Kurosaki and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's battle) "However, is the one he's fighting truly Human? I'd never think that this volume, concentration and catastrophic nature of his Reiatsu would be that of a Human's. It seems more like I'm watching a fight between two Espada." [42] As Yoruichi and the Fullbringers try to calm everyone down, Zaraki, Ikkaku, and Yumichika appear after being summoned as well. While Grimmjow recognizes Zaraki as the Shinigami that killed Nnoitra Gilga, the Sternritter become weary, and Giriko becomes anxious. Before the situation can escalate once again, Shunsui himself appears and subtly exerts his own Reiatsu to calm everyone down. Declaring his relief that everyone he summoned came, Shunsui starts their meeting concerning the Four Great Houses. [17] Chapter 17 [ ] Hikone bows to everyone present and opens a Garganta to leave, while Luppi and the Quincy try to stop them. In response, Hikone fires a Gran Rey Cero at them, though both Nelliel and Liltotto intercept it, with Nelliel using her Cero Doble while Liltotto just uses The Glutton to swallow it. Despite their efforts, Hikone successfully escapes, and Liltotto voices her intrigue at Nelliel's similar ability to her own. [16]

The child recognizes Shinji as a Gotei 13 captain, and gleefully introduces themselves as Hikone Ubuginu. While Shinji is relieved the child is not hostile, he is still on guard because of the strange and massive Reiatsu Hikone is emitting. Suspicious, Shinji subtly asks Hikone who they work for, as they are not wearing a Gotei 13 insignia, and Hikone answers that they are the retainer of Tokinada Tsunayashiro. [10]The four common high-speed movement techniques all have subtle differences. Hirenkyaku: When a quincy uses hirenkyaku, it is a far more efficient technique than shunpo in terms of spiritual-energy consumption. Sonido: When an arrancar uses sonido, their spiritual-pressure cannot be detected during the instance it is used. Bringer Light: When a fullbringer uses bringer light for high-speed movement, they are drawing on the dormant spiritual-energy or spiritual-matter in the surface they are standing on, enabling the surface itself to propel them at high-speed. This also reduces the disturbance of spiritual-matter in the surrounding environment to a minimum, making it more difficult for their spiritual-pressure to be detected during the instance it is used. Shunpo: When a soul reaper uses shunpo, it propels them forwards at high-speed, but seemingly without any additional traits.

The group is then interrupted by Tessai, and while Hisagi tries to apologize to the former Kido Corps commander, Tessai tells him that if Aura could actually push Urahara, there is nothing Hisagi could have done anyway. Regardless, Hisagi's self-loathing is too strong, and he believes he'll never be able to face Kensei and Tōsen due to his continuous weakness and failures. While Hiyori is angered at the mention of the traitor, Tessai tells Hisagi that he is blaming himself needlessly. [17] Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Uryû, Rukia, Renji, Isshin, Karin, and Yuzu are out of Town in West Japan. Karin & Yuzu got permission from Isshin to visit the 3rd most spiritually-rich ground in Japan. Rukia & Renji later delivered news of trouble in that location. Isshin & Ichigo followed after Karin & Yuzu. Orihime, Chad, Uryû, Rukia, and Renji follow too. The trouble was likely orchestrated intentionally by the villain, to get them out of Karakura Town. Byakuya & Tôshirô are later sent to investigate disturbances in the World of the Living. These characters are not involved in CFYOW outside of mentioning this information.As Hikone draws their Zanpakutō, Shinji says that he saw the child's sword swallow up the Cero, and Grimmjow and Luppi sense a powerful Hollow Reiatsu emanating from Hikone's mysterious white Zanpakutō. As Hikone says that the sword was given to them by Tokinada, the Zanpakutō suddenly starts talking to everyone present. As the Zanpakutō reveals its disdain for how weak the two Arrancar are, it asks them about Baraggan Louisenbairn's status. When Shinji wonders how the sword is talking, it takes offense and tries to introduce itself. However, it finds itself unable to speak its own name, and curses the Shinigami for an unknown reason. [12] After Aizen's defeat and the deaths of Baraggan and Starrk, Harribel became the de facto ruler of Hueco Mundo. [2] [3] When an empire called the Wandenreich appeared, she was personally defeated by Yhwach. Badly wounded, she urged Nel Tu, Pesche Guatiche, and Dondochakka Birstanne to flee, before being taken by Yhwach in a flash of darkness and imprisoned in Silbern. [36] The empire claimed Hueco Mundo as their dominion and another foundation stone to invade Soul Society. [37] [3] Shûhei's zanpakutô represents the cycle of life and death. Shûhei entangles himself and his opponent in the extended chains of his zanpakutô. The chain is the main part of the zanpakutô, not the blades. If Shûhei's body or the chains are destroyed, Shûhei's spiritual-energy restores them as if no damage had been done. Meanwhile in Soul Society, Mayuri is studying the three Fullbringers living in the Rukongai, when Akon asks if he is using the Visuals Department's surveillance for it. Despite the Visuals Department's immense resources and surveillance operations, Mayuri reveals he decides to stop cooperating with them, much to Akon's surprise. Mayuri explains that he no longer considers the Visuals Department reliable, as their primary allegiance lies with the Nobles, particularly the Tsunayashiro family. [7] After Aaroniero Arruruerie is killed, she observes the atmosphere of Hueco Mundo as Emilou Apacci asks her what they should do about his death. [17]

Liltotto and Giselle are alive, rescued by Jugram's aide on Earth, and taken to an unknown base of operations for the quincy. They recovered their powers after a few months, however they have permanently lost their ability to use vollständig due to YHWACH's auswählen. Bambietta is one of Giselle's zombies. Meninas, Candice, and NaNaNa are a part of Mayuri's corpse corps in Soul Society.The two are temporarily interrupted by the eavesdropping Ururu and Jinta, and after Urahara sends them on an errand, decides to talk about the two children instead. Urahara confirms Hisagi's suspicions that the two are indeed artificial beings similar but not identical to Nemu Kurotsuchi, and mentions that Ururu is three years older than Jinta. [7] As Aura's head falls, it says that she merely preformed miracles in front of the people, before her body catches her head and reattaches it. Hisagi asks if she is a form of Hollow with High-Speed Regeneration, and Aura says that while she is a Fullbringer, that indeed means there is a Hollow involved. [11] To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "Our existence is built upon the noble sacrifices made. Instead, you fall in battle from trying to protect your subordinates. My subordinates were not simply defeated. They left behind markers for me, on how to carry on the fight. If I had lost, my subordinates' sacrifices would have all been for nothing. I hold within me the resolve of those who sacrificed their lives." [7] As Hikone silences Ikomikidomoe and apologizes, Tokinada reassures the child that they should not expect anything else from an inherited Zanpakutō; since it was not born from imprinting upon an Asauchi, it takes time for Ikomikidomoe to fully accept its new master. Tokinada also says that it is not like he can ever wield Ikomikidomoe, as that can only be done by beings like Hikone, Ichigo, and Ginjō. [9] As the conversation shifts towards Hisagi's killing of the Hollowfied Tōsen, and his subsequent regret and issues, Urahara suddenly jumps up and grabs his Zanpakutō. He asks a confused Hisagi if he can arrange a Gentei Kaijo before revealing that he senses the entirety of Karakura Town is surrounded and isolated by an unidentified force. [9]
