ตอนที่ 234: เรนจิเผชิญกับร่างแยกของซาบิมารุ ขณะที่รุกিয়াฟื้นตัวและอิชิโกะต้องเผชิญกับกับดักของมูราซากะ

234

Rukia is found by the fourth division and sent to recover from her injuries. While Shuuhei Hisagi patrols the Seireitei, he is attacked by his sadistic zanpakutou, Kazeshini. Renji searches the ruins for any clues of Byakuya, who is still missing. He instead encounters Zabimaru in the form of a monkey woman named Saru and a snake boy named Hebi. Both entities of Zabimaru have no intention of returning to their original owner and attack Renji. According to Zabimaru, all zanpakutou have heard a voice telling them to follow their instincts to attack their masters. Ichigo wakes up in Zangetsu's dimension, but the old man is missing. He sees Muramasa and attacks him, but the man immediately incapacitates him and summons his inner hollow. Muramasa has begun to take an interest in the inner hollow and uses his powers to freeze it in place. Thinking that it has been subdued, Muramasa approaches it, but the inner hollow merely tricks him with its act and lashes out straight at him. (Source: Wikipedia) Zanpakutou Unknown Tales arc: (5/26)
