Ice and Flame! Fierce Fight of Amagai vs. Hitsugaya

Kira realizes that Kibune is using his bakoto to negate his shikai, and he manages to exhaust Kibune, enabling him to use his shikai to increase the weight of Kibune's zanpakuto. Kifune attempts to draw on more power from his bakoto, but is consumed in the process. Kira collapses soon thereafter. Ichigo and Amagai pursue a pair of assassins with Lurichiyo, and discover that the Lurichiyo they are carrying is a fake. They return to the arena, where Kira reveals Kifune's association with Kumoi. Renji arrives and takes Kibune's bakoto to Yamamoto. Ichigo, Rukia, Amagai, and Shu head to the Kasumioji compound, which tenth division captain Toshiro Hitsugaya is guarding. Amagai fights Hitsugaya and Rukia fights Rangiku, as Ichigo and Shu enter the compound. Elsewhere, Yamamoto orders that the Thirteen Court Guard Squads attack the Kasumioji compound, after seeing the bakoto brought by Renji.
