Chapter 399

Isshin Kurosaki begins his battle with Sōsuke Aizen, while his son Ichigo Kurosaki engages Gin Ichimaru. Gin asks Ichigo if he remembers their previous encounter Ichigo tells him that he remembers his swords but not his thoughts. Gin unleashes his Bankai and begins his attack on the substitute Shinigami. Gin uses the reach of his Bankai to his advantage but is surprised to have Ichigo block and even counter it, Ichigo tells him that a Bankai can always be stopped by another Bankai, leaving Gin to remark on how "creepy" Ichigo is.
