Atop the school’s roof, Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya is sending a report to Soul Society about what happened when Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto approaches him from behind. At school, Orihime notices that Ichigo is absent, as are Sado Yasutora, Rukia, and Ishida. He instead revisits the crater that Yammy Llargo and Ulquiorra Cifer left from their attack. Rukia also suggested that he go talk with Kisuke Urahara about his inner Hollow, but Ichigo decides not to. At the time, she had taken responsibility for getting hurt and did not want him burdening himself. Rukia Kuchiki also does not know where Ichigo is, though she does remember the conversation with him after she was healed by Orihime Inoue last night. The next morning, Yuzu Kurosaki goes to wake her brother, but finds that he is not in his room. Ryūken, however, believes that Uryū will, as long as this training does not kill him. Back in the Human World, Uryū Ishida is training with his father, but has doubts about being able to regain his powers.

With his Vasto Lorde-based Espada, Aizen feels that there will be no enemies in their path. Ichimaru also points out that they lost 5 Arrancar, but Aizen says that he is not concerned because they were only Gillians. Afterwards, he leaves the throne room and runs into Gin Ichimaru, who comments that Aizen is playing with his subordinates again. Grimmjow gets ready to fight, but Aizen stops him, saying that if he attacks Tōsen, Aizen will not forgive him. As he says this, Tōsen cuts off Grimmjow’s left arm and burns it with Kidō.

He feels that killing without moral law is just slaughter, but slaughter in the name of moral law is justice. However, Kaname Tōsen still wants to punish Grimmjow because Grimmjow upset the order. Sōsuke Aizen says that he is not angry over Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez’s actions, which show loyalty.
