Yhwach's ascent to the Soul Palace blows everything and everyone in the vicinity away. Kyoraku questions why Ichibei would even allow Yhwach to ascend so easily.

Orihime and Chad rebuke Ichigo, while Urahara arrives to lead them to the 12th Division barracks, where Mayuri preemptively built a one-use replica of the Shiba clan's cannon to shoot Ichigo's group back up to the palace. Requiring massive energy to fire off, Urahara had Yoruichi Shihoin and the remaining Visored collect Reishi from distortions in the Human World, created by Quincies since the first invasion.

Byakuya is surrounded by Candice and two more Quincies, while Bazz-B antagonizes Renji and Rukia as soon as they emerge from the rubble. Iba breaks out of the rubble, having protected the wolf formerly known as Komamura. Giselle tries to goad Ikkaku and Yumichika into an attack, so they could get controlled, but when the latter exposes Giselle as being a male crossdresser, they are angered and summon the semi-conscious undead Bambietta. Giselle explains that they can zombify and control Soul Reapers just with a bit of their blood touching them, but a Quincy actually needs to be dead for them to control, so they personally executed Bambietta.

Unable to combat Bambietta's ability, the two are overwhelmed and about to be zombified, until Mayuri and Nemu step in. Mayuri, already having created a device to counteract Bambietta's ability, nullifies her use as a pawn. Giselle summons their army of zombified Soul Reapers, composed mostly of members of Squad 11.

Mayuri then reveals his very own pawns, the reanimated former Sexta Espada Luppi Antenor, the two Privaron Espada Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio and Cirucci Sanderwicci, as well as Segunda Espada Baraggan Louisenbairn's Fraccion Charlotte Chuhlhourne, all retrieved by Mayuri from Octava Espada Szayelaporro Grantz's lab. The resurrected arrancars effortlessly begin dispatching Giselle's zombies, so they summon the zombified Hitsugaya.
