239

Ichigo is still trapped in the ice prison Hyourinmaru trapped him in as Hitsugaya and Hyourinmaru confront each other. Meanwhile, Rangiku and Momo fight their zanpakutou in the woods and finally manage to overpower them with kidou spells. As Hitsugaya and Hyourinmaru begin to fight, Hitsugaya tries to seal him but is shocked as Hyourinmaru effortlessly dissolves the seal into fragments of ice. As their fight continues, Hyourinmaru's tremendous power turns the whole sky black. Hitsugaya began to recall his past during his first encounter with Hyourinmaru to convince him. Hitsugaya managed to activate Hyourinmaru's shikai, thus managed to convince Hyourinmaru that Hitsugaya is his master. Despite freezing himself along with his zanpakutou and losing consciousness, Hitsugaya manages to convince Hyourinmaru of his identity. (Source: Wikipedia) Zanpakutou Unknown Tales arc: (10/26)
