Ukitake reveals an incredible secret, and claims he has the ability to replace the Soul King. However, even if he is able to do this, what will stop Juha Bach from simply killing him, as well? As Urahara is, for once, caught totally by surprise with this new development and Rukia and the other soul reapers present listen to Ukitake explain what he is about to do, Kyoraku goes deep into the underground prison, to confront Sousuke Aizen. Does this mean that Kyoraku means to set Aizen free in an act of desperation, or is there some other purpose behind his actions?
This chapter finally answers a lot of the persistent questions as to the nature of Ukitake's illness, and why he turned out this way. However, it also raises more questions, specifically how he was able to encounter a piece of the Soul King's body. Did the Soul King cast away parts of his own body in anticipation of this day? Only time will tell if all of these actions were intended to save the world, or if there is some other intent. However, the most interesting part is the final page, where Kyoraku seeks out Aizen. This could mean that the Soul Society's traitor could actually be making a return to the series soon.
