Ep. 273: Halibel Releases Her Zanpakuto to Strike Down Hitsugaya in Karakura Town
Yammy unleashes his Zanpakuto, Ira, after Ulquiorra's death, growing colossal and revealing the Espada ranks from 0 to 9. He effortlessly blocks attacks from Rukia, Chad, and Renji. Meanwhile, in fake Karakura Town, Tier Halibel fights Hitsugaya. She releases her sword, Tiburón, and slices Hitsugaya's body in two. Halibel then moves toward Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto to avenge her destroyed Fracciones, the Tres Bestias. However, Hitsugaya reappears, revealing that the sliced body was merely an ice illusion. This confrontation occurs during the Arrancar: Downfall arc, specifically episode 8 of 39. The events highlight the escalating power of the Arrancar and the resilience of the Soul Reapers as they face increasingly dangerous opponents in their desperate defense.
