Plot Overview

Momo has just discovered Captain Aizen's dead body and the lieutenants run to her aid. When Ichimaru appears and spears in a rather blaise fashion about the captain's death, Momo immediately assumes that he was the one who killed Aizen, based on Toshiro's warning. She draws her sword against him, but Izuru blocks her attack and refuses to allow his captain to be attacked. She releases her sword's true form after Izuru refuses to let her go and the two get into a fight stopped by Toshiro. Their fellow lieutenants put them both in jail as his request. After the lieutenants have left, Toshiro suggests that Ichimaru presumed to kill Momo, an action which would bring swift revenge upon his head delivered by Toshiro.

In the tunnels, Ichigo and Ganju are completely healed, they decide that even though their lives are only going to get harder in the future, they need to continue to press onward. After Hanataro wakes up and takes a "energizing pill" which may or may not be working. Ganju wonders how Orihime, Uryu and Chad are doing out loud. Chad, somewhere in the distance, wakes up from a dream and cuts through a mob of soul reapers and has one of them tell him where the repentance cell is. He gets his information and bends his informant's sword when he tries to attack him when his back is turned.

Ichigo and Ganju make it to the repentance cell, as well as Chad from a different direction. Chad's presence is detected by Nanao, lieutenant of the 8th squad, but her captain, Shunsui Kyoraku, decides to confront him on his own. On the other side of the tower, Ichigo and the others are also confronted by a captain: Kenpachi Zaraki.
