Summary
Kenpachi Zaraki and Nnoitra Jiruga are in the midst of their battle. At the end of the previous episode, Nnoitra revealed his left eye, where his Hollow hole is and declared that Kenpachi was at his maximum level of power. This made Kenpachi smile. Continuing on, They continue the battle when Kenpachi reveals that at least he now knows that Nnoitra will die if he stabs him and this just makes him all the more determined. Just as Nnoitra is once again demanding that Kenpachi just cannot cut him, Kenpatchi slices his arm. Nnoitra appears shocked and continues the fight. Then as Nnoitra thinks he's winning, Kenpachi slices off half of Nnoira's Zanpakuto and slashes him across the face. Nnoitra gets worried and starts to fight desperately. Kenpachi Thanks him for a good warm-up and attacks with fervour. Nnoitra gets slashed again, and fires his Cero, which Kenpachi easily deflects. Kenpachi strolls lesiurely towards Nnoitra and as a last act, Nnoitra trys to cut Kenpachi across the face with his hand, but instead cuts off his eyepatch, releaseing all of Kenpachi's stored spirit energy. Kenpachi smiles and slashes Nnoitra across the chest. Kenpachi then realizes that his eyepatch has been ripped off, and tells Nnoitra that now he sees what happens when his eyepatch is ripped off, still confused about the power increase until it is explained to him what the eyepatch really is. Infuriated, Nnoitra finally releases his Zanpakutō Santa Teresa, which doubles his arms and heals the injury Kenpachi inflicted when his eyepatch was torn off. Nnoitra then asks how it feels seeing an Espada release their Zanpakutō for the first time. Though all he gets in response to his question is a smile from Kenpachi, who tells him that he has nice reiatsu and that it's been a long time as it was like the reiatsu itself is sharpening his blade. Undeterred, Nnoitra tells him to come and cut him with his newly sharpened blade. Kenpachi wastes no time and goes on the offensive, but is surprised when his attempts are blocked and he is dealt a grievous wound across his chest. Nnoitra then sends Kenpachi flying away from him as he mocks him. Noticing that there is no movement from a unresponsive Kenpachi, Nnoitra sets his sights on Yachiru, but Kenpachi recovers and manages to cut off one of his arms. When Nnoitra comments on Kenpachi playing dead, he is corrected when Kenpachi states he was just thinking that with four arms Nnoitra is just going to keep blocking his blade, so seeing as he couldn't think of anything, his next best step was to just cut the arms off one by one. Nnoitra tells Kenpachi that he is crazy if he thinks he can cut off his arms and notes that he can't even cut off the one he already did, as he displays his ability to regenerate his arm. He then goes to attack, but Kenpachi blocks him, and is soon thrown back into a nearby structure. As Nnoitra mocks him, Kenpachi kicks out of the rubble and grabs him by the face and slams him into the ground, then he attacks as he manages to pin Nnoitra down, but Nnoitra reveals his two hidden arms and pierces Kenpachi's abdomen. Nnoitra then tells Kenpachi that he is going to use all six of his arms to to take him out.
