Mystery! The Sword-Consuming Assassin

'''Mystery! The Sword-Consuming Assassin''' is the one hundred and seventy-sixth episode of the Bleach anime.

The fights with the assassins continue.

Summary
Rukia's opponent, Jinnai Dōkō, reveals that the unique blades the assassins are using are called bakkōtō, swords that consume the user's spiritual energy to increase their strength. Jinnai eats his bakōtō to increase his power and fire blades from his back. Ishida fights Kuzuryū, who uses his bakkōtō to transform into mist. Chad fights Genga, who uses the same rock wall-forming bakōtō a previous assassin used. Chad repeatably destroys the walls with his energy blasts, but Genga fuses with the walls to attack Chad from behind.

Gin explains Sado Yasutora's attacks. He states that his right arm is primarily defensive, and that his left is offensive. He then goes on to say that, if the words weren't written up on the screen, he'd have no idea what they meant. Sado asks why he is part of this segment, to which Gin says that he himself said his powers were similar to a Hollow's. Sado then agrees, saying it is very complex, as Pesche and Dondochakka are seen behind Gin, with a sign saying "Hollows" floating over their heads.
