Ishida's Strategy, 20-Second Offense and Defense

With Renji's help, Uryu maneuvers Szayel Aporro into a trap, catching him in a massive explosion. Although the trap is damaging, it fails to kill Szayel Aporro. By eating one of his Fracciones, Lumina, Szayel Aporro completely heals himself. However, rather than retaliate, he leaves, wanting to replace his damaged clothing and to allow Renji and Uryu to formulate a new plan. Elsewhere, Grimmjow brings Orihime to Ichigo, and asks Orihime to heal Ichigo so he can fight him again. Before she can finish doing so, Ulquiorra arrives.
