Chapter 396

As Aizen emerges from Yamamoto's Hadō 96, a Hollowfied Ichigo attacks and injures him with a Getsuga Tenshō. Ichigo continues his attack, but is unable to further harm Aizen, who tells him that he has missed his chance to kill him. As Aizen's injury is healed, the rogue captain reveals that the Hōgyoku is embedded in his body and that he has always been in the palm of his hand.
