Ikkaku Madarame vs. Hōzukimaru: Final Fight

Prologue
As Suì-Fēng proceeds to surround the Zanpakutō with her Onmitsukidō, Hōzukimaru remarks that, since there are so many of them, that they should fight one-on-one. Ikkaku states that they can do that, but Suì-Fēng reprimands them, stating that their sole focus right now is to stop them from escaping. The Zanpakutō proceed to move out, as Ikkaku charges at Hōzukimaru.

Battle
As they both grin wildly, Hōzukimaru is ecstatic that they can continue their previous fight uninterrupted, as they clash together. They then use Shunpo to move away from the 6th Division barracks, appearing in a garden far off from the original site. As they fight, the two are evenly matched, being able to inflict significant damage upon each other. Hōzukimaru finally gets some headway; punching Ikkaku into a nearby pond, only to have him emerge moments later, successfully activating his Shikai.

He remarks that Ikkaku can use his powers again, as he pushes Hōzukimaru away. As the fight progresses, Ikkaku is able to make Hōzukimaru draw blood, which causes Ikkaku to boast that he was stronger in his previous fight, to which he states that he is only getting started. Ikkaku tells him that he will force him to go serious, if that is what it takes, as he forces his Zanpakutō spirit on the defensive, eventually forcing him back into a nearby building, crashing into it.

A smile crosses Ikkaku's face, as he wonders whether Hōzukimaru is finished yet, to which he releases Bankai, hurling Ikkaku onto the ground with brute strength. Hōzukimaru berates his former master, telling him not to get too over-confident. Ikkaku realizes that he is finally serious, to which he gets up again, finally in the mood to fight him. Hōzukimaru leaps into the air, thrusting his blade into the ground, as Ikkaku barely dodges, being unable to block his attacks in succession.
