Summary
By using shunpo, Ichigo is able to wound Ryou. In response, Ryou uses an attack called the Snake Net that traps Ichigo regardless of where he jumps to. The snakes envelope Ichigo, but he manages survive relatively unscathed through use of his spiritual power. Ryou sends another wave of snakes, but Ichigo destroys it with a Getsuga Tenshou. Because of it, Ichinose breaks off his fight with Rukia and runs to Jin. No one was actually hurt by the attack, but it did destroy part of the room. Ryou uses the opportunity to betray Jin and make a grab for his crest. He tries to attack Jin, but Jin is still able to use his powers. Ichinose then appears before Ryou and uses a special attack to defeat him. He explains that his zanpaktou is called the Rainbow Mist and introduces himself. When the enemy powers up, Ichigo has no choice but to do the same.
