Mayuri proposes that Sawatari become one of his research subjects because of his renewed interest in the Bounts. Sawatari declines and starts attacking Mayuri and manages to rip his left arm off.
Mayuri heals himself and counterattacks, limiting Sawatari’s doll Baura’s movement. The plan works and he manages to pierce Sawatari using his zanpakutō, Ashisogi Jizō. Sawatari then fends him off and starts absorbing spirit particles to heal his injuries, but the zanpakutō’s effects linger, as he can no longer use his right arm.
Sawatari escapes into another dimension and plans his next moves. He tries luring Mayuri but is caught off-guard when Mayuri reveals that he knew this plan all along, and explains to him that he can track him even if he slips into another dimension. Sawatari then proceeds to attack Mayuri using the absorbed spiritual power of other shinigami in earlier battles. The attacks severely injures Mayuri and he is forced to summon his bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo.
Baura is then ordered to swallow the bankai’s poison but the latter proves fatal and crushes both Sawatari and his doll in a counter-attack. Sawatari, defeated and ailing, pleads for his life and agrees to be Mayuri’s research subject. The captain, thoroughly agitated at this point, refuses, letting his bankai’s poison kill the Bount.
Meanwhile, Yoshi, another Bount, is challenged to a fight by Uryū Ishida.
