Ep. 247: Getäuschte Shinigami! Die Weltzusammenbruch-Krise

247

Muramasa stands in Ichigo's way of rescuing Yamamoto and goads him into releasing his hollow powers against him. Meanwhile, Yoruichi, Ukitake and Kyouraku realize that something is amiss and break away from their opponents. Having used the zanpakutou entities to distract Ichigo's companions, Muramasa tricks Ichigo into firing his most powerful Getsuga Tenshou at him, but deflects the attack into Yamamoto's barrier, shattering it just as Yoruichi, Ukitake and Kyouraku arrive to prevent this from happening. Muramasa reveals that Yamamoto encased himself in the barrier to prevent him from stealing Ryuujin Jakka, but with Ichigo's hollow-based attack, it would allow Muramasa to easily obtain Yamamoto's zanpakutou entity. When Muramasa says that he has no need for the other entities anymore, Katen Kyoukotsu and Sougyo no Kotowari attack him but end up having their physical forms destroyed by Ryuujin Jakka. Muramasa makes his escape with Ryuujin Jakka, while Yamamoto reveals to the others that Muramasa intends to destroy the Thirteen Court Guard Squads with Ryuujin Jakka.
