Hitsuguya steps forward to challenge Gerard, while the others try to regroup. Hitsuguya uses his bankai, and manages to freeze Gerard in place, but the battle is likely only just beginning. Meanwhile, Uryuu remembers the past, and his father's operating on his mother's body. Uryuu remembers this as the moment he realized he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. In the present, Uryuu is confronted by Hashwalth, who has switched powers with Juha Bach, meaning he is able to see into the future. Uryuu asks if he saw betrayal, to which Hashwalth asks why he would think such a thing. Hashwalth looks to "confirm his suspicions," and moves to attack. As he does, an explosion erupts, and in it stands Ichigo. Is Ichigo really there, or is this a trick by Hashwalth to test Uryuu's allegiances?

The battle between Bazz and Hashwalth is over; meanwhile, Liltotto and Giselle have fallen trying to kill Yhwach, and the Sternlichter are still trying to locate the rest of the intruders. Grimmjow is still in pursuit of Askin, but the battle takes a dangerous turn when Grimmjow is hit with a poison ball and drops to the ground. Kenpachi and Kurotsuchi are also facing off with Pernida, who's abilities continue to confuse, but if there's a pair that can face him, it's those two.

Jugo and Bazz continue their clash, but Jugo argues that there is no point to it, that their fight does nothing to affect Juha Bach. However, Bazz continues his fight, and we get another flashback to the past, 3 years after Jugo joins the Sternritter, to when Bazz enlists as well, to find Jugo already a captain. Bazz tries to fight Jugo then, just to be ignored, since internal fights were punishable by death. Bazz continued to try to goad Jugo into a fight, to no avail. Back in the present, Jugo finally succeeds to making Jugo fight him, only to find Jugo easily outmatches him in every way. However, Jugo isn't surprised at this, merely wanting to settle the score one way or the other, Jugo walks away, leaving Bazz-B, actually named Buzzard Black, to bleed out on the ground.

Hashwalth and Bazz continue their training to defeat Juha Bach in the past, but one day the Quincy army shows up looking for recruits for the new sternritter army. Excited, Bazz volunteers to protect the future of the Quincy, and urges Hashwald to join, as well. The recruiter resists the children at first, thinking them foolish and naive. However, Bazz challenges him to fight if he thinks he is unworthy, and that if he wins, Bazz gets to take the officers rank in his place. However, as they prepare to fight, they are all pinned by the immense spiritual pressure of Juha Bach. He states that he has found his "other half," as he stares down at Hashwalth.
