355. Azul-Blood Splash

The captains Shunsui, Hitsugaya, and Soifon continue their fight against the Espadas Stark, Halibel, and Barragan. Halibel decides to put an end to her and Hitsugaya's fight by releasing her Zanpakuto and slicing Hitsugaya in half.

Summary
Sajin Komamura starts to heal his fellow Shinigami and watches with Izuru the fights happening before them. Stark swipes at Shunsui destroying part of his hat. He comments towards Stark that he's pretty strong. Stark replies saying that he's suprised how he can keep on dodging his attacks like that without loosing his hat or kimono.

Hitsugaya and Halibel continue to fight. Halibel shoots a projectile at Hitsugaya called "Projectile Azule" and it comes right at him.

Meanwhile, both Soifon and Marechiyo Ōmaeda are exhausted from fighting Barragan. Barragan comments that they can't even budge him. He then smashs his fist through his throne of bones, pulling out a large, axe-shaped Zanpakuto. Marechiyo tells Soifon that she should hurry and remove the limitations set on her in the real world but Soifon tells him that the limitations were already removed.

Meanwhile, with Hitsugaya smashed against the ground, Halibel is surprised that this was a captain's strength and that her Fracción were defeated by this. She then holds out her sword and releases it, revealing her Resurrección. Before Hitsugaya can react, the right half of his body is cut clean off.
