Ichigo's group reaches Yhwach, not knowing that he already impaled the Soul King. Ichigo faces off against the Quincy King, pummeling him through Kirinji's hot springs. Yhwach compliments Ichigo's powers gained through his training with Ichibe, but claims that Ichibe purposefully sent Ichigo after him, knowing that Ichigo will not win the battle.
Yhwach reveals that he has not used his eyes yet and activates The Almighty, allowing him to foresee and nullify all of Ichigo's strikes, bringing him back to the others beaten and questioning his reasons to fight.
Yhwach unveils the impaled Soul King, his father Adonaeus, shocking them. Yhwach details how the all-powerful Soul King separated the three worlds from darkness and was able to foresee even a thousand years into the future...yet he didn't save the Quincies.
Meanwhile, Shinji, Soi-Fon, Hinamori, and Omaeda head to the R&D division, where Urahara and Nanao are coordinating the efforts to launch reinforcements to the Soul Palace. Renji and Rukia head there as well.
Returning to Ichigo, he slowly rises to attack, with support from Orihime and Yoruichi, though Yhwach dispels any danger to him.
Ichigo reaches the Soul King and pulls the blade out of him, falling for Yhwach's ploy. Forced by the Quincy blood in him, Ichigo inadvertently kills the Soul King. Yhwach revels that everything proceeded how he foresaw it would, and explains that only someone who is a hybrid of human, Soul Reaper, Quincy, Fullbringer, and Hollow like Ichigo can even kill the Soul King.
The death of the Soul King causes worldwide earthquakes in all three worlds.
