Despite the patrols of the Gotei 13, Ichigo, Amagai, Rukia, and Shū manage to make contact with the third division members, and head towards the third division’s training grounds, Rurichiyo’s last known location. Kira begins to fight Kibune, and initially gains the advantage by using his shikai to increase the weight of Kibune’s zanpakutō. Kibune uses his bakōtō to negate Kira’s shikai, and continues to fight. Discussing his past, Kibune reveals that he was ostracized in the Gotei 13 for not protecting his weaker division members during missions, and assigned to a hollow-hunting squad as a result. He states that the bakōtō will give him enough power to gain respect from the Gotei 13.
