360. Shock of the Queen

Ukitake and Lilynette's "battle" continues. Elsewhere, Barragan decides to finish things off with Ōmaeda but stops as Soifon activates her Bankai and attacks him.

Summary
Lilynette insists on battling Ukitake and attempts countless attacks, only to fail miserably. Ukitake has defeated Lilynette many times, but has never taken the approach of killing her, instead, "training" her by not allowing her to use her own sword. Lilynette's desperate struggles of defeating Ukitake is serious to an extend that she is crying while battling the man.

Elsewhere, just as Barragan seems to be closing in on Ōmaeda to finish him off with his technique "Gran Caída", Barragan notices the surge of energy from Soifon's Bankai being released and turns around to face her. Soifon emerges and explains her reluctance to use her bankai, Jahkuho Raikoben, due to it being too large and heavy to function as an assassin's weapon. She then states that Jahkuho Raikoben's atack is "too flashy for assassination" but nevertheless fires a projectile attack at Barragan resulting in a huge explosion. Barragan's fate after the attack remains unknown.
