216

Ichigo arrives in the fifth tower to save Orihime and confronts Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra unsheathes his sword and they begin their battle. Meanwhile, back at the replica of Karakura Town, Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn takes command since Aizen is trapped inside Yamamoto's fire prison. His first plan of action is to destroy the four pillars protecting Karakura Town, and he sends out four giant hollows to do the job. Soul Reapers Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Izuru Kira and Shuuhei Hisagi each take one pillar, and after defeating the hollows with ease, are respectively matched up against Choe Neng Poww, Charlotte Chuhlhourne, Abirama Redder, and Findor Calius, four of Baraggan's six Fracciones. Each is introduced to the other and the battle for Karakura Town begins. (Source: Wikipedia) Arrancar: Decisive Battle of Karakura arc: (2/12)
