As the battle intensifies, Lille Barro watches Uryu defeat Renji, while Bazz-B sets off to confront Haschwalth, and Giselle and Liltotto pursue Yhwach.

Meanwhile, Mayuri, Nemu, Kenpachi, Ikkaku, and Yumichika encounter Pernida Parnkgjas, the grotesque Quincy revealed to be the left arm of the Soul King. Despite Mayuri's warnings, Kenpachi recklessly charges Pernida and lands a blow. Pernida retaliates by manipulating Kenpachi's body through its nerves, twisting his right arm grotesquely until Kenpachi is forced to sever it.

Charging again, Kenpachi is overwhelmed and begins to spiral apart, prompting Mayuri to paralyze him with a stab from behind to halt Pernida's control.

Mayuri deduces that Pernida weaponizes its nerves, which can invade and manipulate organic or even inorganic matter. He burns them with acid, but Pernida responds by mutating into an even larger form and begins speaking.

When Mayuri severs one of Pernida's fingers to contain it as a specimen, Pernida simply regenerates more arms from the severed fingers, revealing its terrifying regenerative power.

To counter, Mayuri unveils a modified version of his Bankai: Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo Matai Fukuin Shotai. This new Bankai manifests as a giant, pregnant Ashisogi Jizo, capable of instantaneously birthing battle-ready variants of itself tailored to the enemy's abilities.

Mayuri's creation has 70,000 layers of nerves to prevent control by Pernida, shedding layers as needed. The new Ashisogi Jizo ultimately devours all three of Pernida's current arms.
