Ep. 321: Ikkaku Faces His Clone, A Confrontation With Mutual Self

321

Ukitake and Kyouraku recall a captains' meeting where Mayuri and Kenpachi falsely accused Ichigo of tampering with Dangai work, leading Yamamoto to suspect him. Unaware that these captains were imposters, the real Mayuri and Kenpachi are elsewhere. In Karakura Town, Ichigo discovers Kon tied up, indicating Nozomi escaped again. After Ichigo and friends search for her, Kon locates Nozomi in a forest, but she flees. In the same woods, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Hisagi, and Oomaeda face their reigai. While Hisagi and Oomaeda defeat their clones, Ikkaku and Yumichika suffer heavy injuries until Uryuu intervenes. The reigai retreat, leaving the originals unconscious. Elsewhere, Kira's reigai targets Rangiku, Rukia meets her clone, and Soi Fon arrests Kyouraku, who was framed by Inaba.
