Episode Title:
THE MASTER
Episode Description:
At the ruins of Squad 12 barracks, Kisuke is joined by the remaining Visored, Hiyori Sarugaki, Lisa Yadōmaru, Hachigen Ushōda and Love Aikawa, as well as Yūshirō Shihōin, Yoruichi's little brother and current head of the clan, so they could head up to the Royal Palace. Sheltered under rubble, the wounded Giselle tries to heal himself, by sucking out his blood from zombified Bambietta, before being joined by Liltotto, while Meninas and Candice recover as well. Hyōsube engages Yhwach in an aerial battle, revealing that his brush-shaped Zanpakuto does not cut physical objects, but their names and halves their power, so when he cuts Yhwach with it, his strength is also halved and he is beaten back. Kirinji activates his Shikai and engages Haschwalth in battle, who is soon cut down by the Soul Reaper. Uryū battles Shutara atop the branches, but his rain of Licht Regen is blocked by Shutara, who dispels the Reishi back to Uryū, knocking him out. Nimaiya is shocked by Askin's survival, who explains that his Schrift "D" makes him nigh immortal, allowing him to calculate the "perfect lethal dose" of any substance he takes into his body and then control the amount as he sees fit, inducing a lethal dosage of that substance in those around him. By consuming his own blood, Askin makes a certain dosage of Nimaiya's blood fatal to himself. However, Kirinji interrupts the battle by using his hot springs to replenish Nimaiya's poisoned blood, who then kills Askin. As Hyōsube approaches Yhwach, the latter activates Auswählen to strip the remaining Soldaten and Stern Ritters in the Seireitei - including the Bambis and Bazz-B - of their Reishi and Schrift ability, to redistribute it between himself and those he sees fit, thus resurrecting Haschwalth and all of the Schutzstaffel, who then activate their Vollständig. Meanwhile, in the Seireitei's ruins, Kyōraku leaves his post as the Soul Palace is the true target and joins 13th Squad captain Jūshiro Ukitake, who used something called Kamikake to wrap his body up to combat his illness, so he could join the battle.
