Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Kirge Opie is a fight during the Quincy Blood War in which the Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki takes on the Captain of the Executive Hunting Captain Kirge Opie

Prologue
After arriving in Hueco Mundo, Ichigo and company take cover as they witness Kirge Opie and his team lining up Arrancar to judge which to take back to the Vandenreich Leader. As Kirge tortures the Arrancar before him Loly Aivirrne and Menoly Mallia come out from hiding, only to be quickly subdued. However, the Tres Bestia, Emilou Apacci, Cyan Sung-Sun and Franceska Mila Rose arrive and manage to kill one of the Quincy. The three Arrancar take on the Quincy but prove to be no match, leaving Ichigo to step in. Ichigo approaches Kirge with Nel Tu on his back. Kirge informs Ichigo that he knows all about him and that Ichigo figured as a "Special War Potential" in their data.

Battle
Kirge and his men attack, surrounding Ichigo by using a high speed movement. Ichigo is confused at first but recognizes their movement as Hirenkyaku, remembering Uryū Ishida using it. Kirge's three associates fire on Ichigo but Ichigo charges out of the smoke covered area where he once was, unharmed. Ichigo questions if they are really Quincy and Kirge asks if he really charged into battle without knowing what he was up against. He says that judging by Ichigo's words, he must have had a feeling but was not sure. Kirge then draws his Spirit Weapon, a sabre, and confirms for Ichigo that they are indeed Quincy.

Kirge fires a burst of arrows at Ichigo and exclaims that all hit their mark. He asks what happened to Ichigo as he is not that weak. Ichigo's Zanpakutō then falls to the ground. As the smoke from Kirge's attack clears, Ichigo appears, holding on to the arrows fired at him and states that Uryū told him that Quincy only use a bow. Catching Kirge off guard, Ichigo throws the arrows back at his opponent, causing a mass of smoke and sand to fill the air. Ichigo charges to the ground and grabs his Zanpakutō. He then tosses Nel to Orihime Inoue, telling her to take care of Nel. Ichigo then fires a Getsuga Tenshō at Kirge. However, as the attack clears, Kirge emerges unharmed. He states that when an opponent dodges, repels and throws back your Heilig Pfeil bare handed, you realize how faulty your techniques are. Ichigo asks if Quincy arrows truly have such a complex name but the assures Kirge that his arrows are more powerful than Uryū's. Kirge states that that cannot be. Ichigo questions what this could mean but Kirge states he has said too much. Kirge says he has much to report back to his majesty and Ichigo asks who that is. Kirge then says that answering would be pointless, stating that he was ordered to defeat Ichigo right away and that he does not need to know as he will die there. Kirge then raises his hand near his face and tells Ichigo that he must have at least heard of the power he is about to use, the Quincy: Letzt Stil. He then activates the technique, sending a beam of light skyrocketing into the air. As Kirge emerges, he reveals is new form with two large wings and a halo shaped like the Vandenreich symbol. Kirge then states that the real name of the form is the Quincy: Vollständig.

As Kirge approaches Ichigo, he asks if Ichigo can feel his pulsating power. Kirge quickly gets behind Ichigo, catching him off guard as Kirge says that it is the power that will punish him. Ichigo then remembers when Urahara told him about the Letzt Stil and questions to himself if Kirge is using that power. Kirge sees that Ichigo is confused and answers his question, stating that Vōllstandig is different than Letzt Stil. Kirge explains that Letzt Stil is weak and died out 200 years ago and the only one to still abide by it is Sōken Ishida who refused to go along with the progress the Quincy had made. Kirge strikes Ichigo but Ichigo manages to block. Ichigo tells Kirge that he doesn't care about their history but he is relieved that his power is different from Uryū's since he claims that if Uryū turned into something that ugly, he might kill him by mistake. Ichigo then tells Kirge his grip is too lose as he fires off a Getsuga Tenshō but Ichigo soon realizes that Kirge was not even moved by the attack. Kirge tells Ichigo to aim before slashing but says it would not help as he has no weak points. Kirge states that Ichigo's description of his form should be accurate to a Shinigami as his appearance of a holy executioner should be terrifying. Kirge then begins to absorb all the Reishi in the area. He raises his arm to gather the reishi and tells Ichigo to prepare, but his arm is smashed down from behind. As he turns around, he finds the monster Ayon standing behind him as the Tres Bestia order him to attack.

Ayon takes on Kirge and initially beats the Quincy into a pulp but Kirge stands up after having his neck snapped and simply states he must have his Blut strengthened as he activates his Sklaveri ability and absorbs Ayon. Kirge prepares to attack those that took to hiding before Ichigo, now in Bankai, attacks, saying that if he crushes Kirge's head, he won't be able to use Sklaveri anymore.. Ichigo takes the offensive and begins to pressure Kirge. Kirge attempts to medalize Ichigo's bankai but it does nothing. Kirge swoops in to attack Ichigo and is in shock that he is being defeated by Ichigo. He received orders to not let Ichigo use Bankai as he cannot medalize it but even after going Vōllstandig and absorbing Ayon, he cannot stand up to Ichigo. Ichigo comes at him from above and knocks Kirge to the ground. Desperate, Kirge fires another barrage of arrows but Ichigo easily knocks them away. Ichigo tells Kirge that the last guy to come after him also tried to seal his Bankai and asks why they want to seal Bankai so badly. Kirge refuses to say, noting to himself that Ichigo's power is dangerous but his speed is the biggest danger. Kirge notes his trouble with Ichigo, saying that in order to react to Ichigo's speed, he has to open his Blut Vene but if he does, he can't use Blut Arteriae, meaning he can't stand up to a Bankai. Ichigo then asks if it is that they fear Bankai. Kirge stands up to say that Vandenreich fear nothing but he is shot through the chest by Urahara, who tells Ichigo to hurry to Soul Society.
