Rukia has accepted her execution, and gives a request to first division captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto to send Ichigo and his friends home after her execution.

The sokyoku, a massive halberd that transforms into a phoenix, is the execution method. However, Ichigo steps forward and stops the sokyoku with his sword, and sympathetic Captains Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake destroy the sokyoku.

Ichigo tosses Rukia down to Renji and tells him to take Rukia away. Three lieutenants attempt to pursue, but Ichigo defeats them with his bare hands. Now he must face Byakuya.
