Rukia is rescued by the Fourth Division to heal from her wounds. Shuuhei Hisagi faces an assault from his zanpakutou, Kazeshini, during his Seireitei patrol. Renji searches the ruins for Byakuya but meets Zabimaru’s separate entities, Saru and Hebi, who refuse to return to their master. They claim all zanpakutou hear a voice urging them to attack their owners. Meanwhile, Ichigo awakens in Zangetsu’s dimension to find the old man absent. He confronts Muramasa, who quickly disables him and summons his inner hollow. Muramasa freezes the hollow, believing it subdued, but the entity feigns weakness before launching a sudden attack on him.
