Cang Du not only reveals he has already incapacitated Matsumoto but also reveals to be Stern Ritter "I" (the Iron), before attempting to finish Hitsugaya with his Bankai, while Bazz-B leaves.
Kisuke arrives to the 12th Squad barracks and tells Mayuri how he devised the method to return stolen Bankais and keep all of them from being stolen. He reveals the Shin'eiyaku, a black pill that temporarily hollowfies Bankais, thus turning them into poison for Quincies, which he devised after noticing that Quilge Opie could not control the Reishi he absorbed from arrancars, which he has already sent to everyone who is known to possess Bankai. Hitsugaya touches the pill sent to him and gradually regains his Bankai, now hollowfied, defeating Cang Du and collapsing afterward. BG9 attempts to harvest the incapacitated Soi Fon, but Omaeda gives her the pill and she uses her regained Bankai to blow BG9 away.
Elsewhere, several dozen Soldats surround Squad 5 captain Shinji Hirako after slaughtering his squad. This gives Hirako the opportunity to finally use his Bankai, Sakashima Yokoshima Happo Fusagari, to change the reality of comrade and enemy, thus forcing all Soldats to kill each other. Accompanied by 11th Squad 5th seat Ayasegawa, 9th Squad lieutenant Hisagi and 11th Squad 3rd Seat Madarame absorb a Shin'eiyaku, when Stern Ritter "S", Mask de Masculine crashes down on them to claim glory, effortlessly countering and beating them.
Stern Ritter "E", Bambietta Basterbine leads her squadron of Stern Ritters in search of 7th Squad captain Sajin Komamura. Due to her continues ranting, her squad abandons her. Angry at being abandoned, she uses her power to explode and destroy the surrounding area just as Komamura arrives to stop her in full armor. As Komamura claims he is in a hurry to avenge Yamamoto by killing Yhwach, Hirako arrives to send him off. Hirako uses his Shikai on Bambietta to completely disorient her and toy with her. Just then, Bambietta and all the beaten Stern Ritters activate their Vollstandig.
In a post credit scene, in the Soul Palace, Ichigo continues to step into the dark corridor while experiencing immeasurable pain, soul pressure and visions of a man in a pool of Reishi repeatedly, with the images becoming clearer and depicting the Soul King.
