Rescue efforts are being made across the Seireitei to find and help those who've survived the Stern Ritter attack. Meanwhile, Ichigo visits the Squad 4 barracks to check up on Renji and Rukia, who are receiving medical treatment for their injuries. He then meets with Mayuri Kurotsuchi about fixing his broken Tensa Zangetsu. However, Mayuri explains that once a Bankai is destroyed, it can never be restored to its original state. Afterward, Mayuri takes a still-shaken Ichigo outside to join the rest of the Thirteen Court Guard Squad captains, where they await the arrival of Squad Zero from the Royal Palace.
