Inside this volume

Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends train relentlessly as the threat posed by Sōsuke Aizen and the Arrancar continues to grow. While Uryū Ishida and Yasutora Sado increase their powers, Orihime Inoue learns that she may have to remain outside the coming battle, leaving her companions without her protection.

Ichigo’s own preparations remain incomplete, as he cannot maintain control of his Hollow mask long enough to fight effectively. With Aizen’s forces preparing another assault, the defenders of Karakura Town risk entering the conflict with two of their most important members unprepared for combat.

Ichigo continues training with the Visored, attempting to extend the brief period during which he can safely wear his Hollow mask. Although he can now summon it voluntarily, his limited endurance prevents him from using its power reliably in battle. Elsewhere, Chad trains under Kisuke Urahara and Renji Abarai, while Uryū endures his father’s harsh methods to restore his Quincy abilities. Orihime, however, is told that her lack of offensive strength makes her unsuited for the coming war.

In Hueco Mundo, Aizen introduces a newly created Arrancar, Wonderweiss Margela, and selects Luppi Antenor to replace Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez as the Sixth Espada. Luppi, Grimmjow, Wonderweiss, and Yammy Llargo are then sent to Karakura Town, where they engage the Soul Reaper advance team.

Luppi uses his released form to restrain several opponents simultaneously, while Grimmjow abandons the main battle and seeks out Ichigo. Determined to prove the results of his training, Ichigo confronts him with Bankai and prepares to reveal his newly controlled Hollow mask.
