Summary
Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake discuss the possibility that defeating the Zanpakutō spirits will destroy the Zanpakutō themselves. Renji Abarai continues fighting with Zabimaru, who taunts him for his weakness. Shūhei Hisagi fights with Kazeshini, and, disgusted by his desire to take life, plans on killing him even if he loses his Zanpakutō. Ichigo Kurosaki's inner hollow fights with Muramasa inside Ichigo's mind until Muramasa uses his powers to restrain him. Ichigo then steps up to fight, stating that the hollow is a part of him, too. Ichigo manages to force Muramasa outside of his mind and continues the fight with him there. When Zabimaru threatens to kill Rukia Kuchiki, Renji regains his resolve, and manages to activate Zabimaru's Shikai.
