Summary Byakuya Kuchiki and Zommari Rureaux concludes the battle, and Byakuya is victorious. While Szayel Aporro Granz uses his voodoo doll power to try to kill Mayuri Kurotsuchi, but Mayuri appears in front of him which causes Szayel great surprise that he hadn't died, although he already crushed all of his organs. Mayuri explains to Szayel that before he went to Hueco Mundo, he replaces his organs with the fake one. Mayuri casts his Bankai, attempt to poison Szayel with his toxic gas, and prepare to strike on him.
