As Ichigo goes to confront Byakuya, he is intercepted by Senbonzakura, and they fight each other using their bankai. Renji and Zabimaru move to prevent Byakuya from leaving. Kira begins fighting Kazeshini, suspecting that its personality is based on Hisagi's suppressed negative impulses. Soi Fon fights Gonryomaru and Tenken at once, but she is surprised by a smoke attack. Yumichika faces Ruri'iro Kujaku, and the two exchange insults. While Ikkaku fights Houzukimaru, Ikkaki is able to break Houzukimaru's bankai unleashed by repeatedly attacking it, managing to withstand its final attack and claiming victory. Fourth division lieutenant Isane Kotetsu and seventh division lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba go to assist the wounded at the scene of the battle when Ashisogi Jizou appears.
