Ice and Flame! Fierce Fight of Amagai vs. Hitsugaya

Kira realizes that Kibune is using his bakoutou to negate his shikai, and he manages to exhaust Kibune, enabling him to use his shikai to increase the weight of Kibune's zanpakutou. Kibune attempts to draw on more power from his bakoutou, but is consumed in the process. Kira collapses soon thereafter. Ichigo and Amagai pursue a pair of assassins with Lurichiyo, and discover that the Lurichiyo they are carrying is a fake. They return to the arena, where Kira reveals Kibune's association with Kumoi. Renji arrives and takes Kibune's bakoutou to Yamamoto. Ichigo, Rukia, Amagai, and Shuu head to the Kasumiouji compound, which tenth division captain Toushirou Hitsugaya is guarding. Amagai fights Hitsugaya and Rukia fights Rangiku, as Ichigo and Shuu enter the compound. Elsewhere, Yamamoto orders that the Thirteen Court Guard Squads attack the Kasumiouji compound, after seeing the bakoutou brought by Renji.
