Ichigo Kurosaki & Ayon vs. Quilge Opie

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Quilge Opie is a fight during the Quincy Blood War in which the Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki takes on the Captain of the Executive Hunting Captain Quilge Opie.

Prologue
After arriving in Hueco Mundo, Ichigo and company take cover as they witness Quilge Opie and his team lining up Arrancar to judge which to take back to Juhabach. As Quilge tortures the Arrancar before him Loly Aivirrne and Menoly Mallia come out from hiding, only to be quickly subdued. However, the Tres Bestia, Emilou Apacci, Cyan Sung-Sun and Franceska Mila Rose arrive and manage to kill one of the Quincy. The three Arrancar take on the Quincy but prove to be no match, leaving Ichigo to step in. Ichigo approaches Quilge with Nel Tu on his back. Quilge informs Ichigo that he knows all about him and that Ichigo figured as a "Special War Potential" in their data.

Battle
Quilge and his men attack, surrounding Ichigo by using a high speed movement. Ichigo is confused at first but recognizes their movement as Hirenkyaku, remembering Uryū Ishida using it. Quilge's three associates fire on Ichigo but Ichigo charges out of the smoke covered area where he once was, unharmed. Ichigo questions if they are really Quincy and Quilge asks if he really charged into battle without knowing what he was up against. He says that judging by Ichigo's words, he must have had a feeling but was not sure. Quilge then draws his Spirit Weapon, a sabre, and confirms for Ichigo that they are indeed Quincy.

Quilge fires a burst of arrows at Ichigo and exclaims that all hit their mark. He asks what happened to Ichigo as he is not that weak. Ichigo's Zanpakutō then falls to the ground. As the smoke from Quilge's attack clears, Ichigo appears, holding on to the arrows fired at him and states that Uryū told him that Quincy only use a bow. Catching Quilge off guard, Ichigo throws the arrows back at his opponent, causing a mass of smoke and sand to fill the air. Ichigo charges to the ground and grabs his Zanpakutō. He then tosses Nel to Orihime Inoue, telling her to take care of Nel. Ichigo then fires a Getsuga Tenshō at Quilge. However, as the attack clears, Quilge emerges unharmed. He states that when an opponent dodges, repels and throws back your Heilig Pfeil bare handed, you realize how faulty your techniques are. Ichigo asks if Quincy arrows truly have such a complex name but the assures Quilge that his arrows are more powerful than Uryū's. Quilge states that that cannot be. Ichigo questions what this could mean but Quilge states he has said too much.

Quilge says he has much to report back to his majesty and Ichigo asks who that is. Quilge then says that answering would be pointless, stating that he was ordered to defeat Ichigo right away and that he does not need to know as he will die there. Quilge then raises his hand near his face and tells Ichigo that he must have at least heard of the power he is about to use, the Quincy: Letzt Stil. He then activates the technique, sending a beam of light skyrocketing into the air. As Quilge emerges, he reveals is new form with two large wings and a halo shaped like the Vandenreich symbol. Quilge then states that the real name of the form is the Quincy: Vollständig.

As Quilge approaches Ichigo, he asks if Ichigo can feel his pulsating power. Quilge quickly gets behind Ichigo, catching him off guard as Quilge says that it is the power that will punish him. Ichigo then remembers when Urahara told him about the Letzt Stil and questions to himself if Quilge is using that power. Quilge sees that Ichigo is confused and answers his question, stating that Vōllstandig is different than Letzt Stil. Quilge explains that Letzt Stil is weak and died out 200 years ago and the only one to still abide by it is Sōken Ishida who refused to go along with the progress the Quincy had made. Quilge strikes Ichigo but Ichigo manages to block. Ichigo tells Quilge that he doesn't care about their history but he is relieved that his power is different from Uryū's since he claims that if Uryū turned into something that ugly, he might kill him by mistake. Ichigo then tells Quilge his grip is too lose as he fires off a Getsuga Tenshō but Ichigo soon realizes that Quilge was not even moved by the attack. Quilge tells Ichigo to aim before slashing but says it would not help as he has no weak points. Quilge states that Ichigo's description of his form should be accurate to a Shinigami as his appearance of a holy executioner should be terrifying. Quilge then begins to absorb all the Reishi in the area. He raises his arm to gather the reishi and tells Ichigo to prepare, but his arm is smashed down from behind. As he turns around, he finds the monster Ayon standing behind him as the Tres Bestia order him to attack.

Ayon Returns
Ayon takes on Quilge and initially beats the Quincy into a pulp but Quilge stands up after having his neck snapped and simply states he must have his Blut strengthened as he activates his Sklaverei ability and absorbs Ayon. Quilge prepares to attack those that took to hiding before Ichigo, now in Bankai, attacks, saying that if he crushes Quilge's head, he won't be able to use Sklaveri anymore. Ichigo takes the offensive and begins to pressure Quilge. Quilge attempts to medalize Ichigo's Bankai but it does nothing. Quilge swoops in to attack Ichigo and is in shock that he is being defeated by Ichigo. He received orders to not let Ichigo use Bankai as he cannot medalize it but even after going Vōllstandig and absorbing Ayon, he cannot stand up to Ichigo. Ichigo comes at him from above and knocks Quilge to the ground. Desperate, Quilge fires another barrage of arrows but Ichigo easily knocks them away.

Ichigo tells Quilge that the last guy to come after him also tried to seal his Bankai and asks why they want to seal Bankai so badly. Quilge refuses to say, noting to himself that Ichigo's power is dangerous but his speed is the biggest danger. Quilge notes his trouble with Ichigo, saying that in order to react to Ichigo's speed, he has to open his Blut Vene but if he does, he can't use Blut Arteriae, meaning he can't stand up to a Bankai. Ichigo then asks if it is that they fear Bankai. Quilge stands up to say that Vandenreich fear nothing but he is shot through the chest by Urahara, who tells Ichigo to hurry to Soul Society.

Aftermath
Ichigo rushes through the Garganta as Akon informs him of the situation. Akon tells him of the casualties and the uncertain situation in Soul Society and also that the Vandenreich are stealing Bankai. Urahara then informs them of the three most dangerous abilities that the Quincy have, Vōllstandig, Blut and their ability to steal Bankai. Urahara says that they are unable to steal Ichigo's bankai and asks Ichigo to be careful. As Ichigo reaches the end though, he finds himself entrapped as Quilge stands back up through the use of Ransōtengai. Quilge imprisons Ichigo in a cage of sorts, immobilizing him. Quilge then laughs at Ichigo, saying he will stay in that dark cage. Ichigo attempts to cut out of his cage but is unable to. He tries to talk to Akon but Akon is unable to hear him.

Ichigo begins to hear everyone from around Soul Society. He tries again to break out but it is useless. Quilge then informs everyone that Juhabach gave him the letter J, calling himself Quilge Opie of the Jail. He states that Ichigo will never escape his jail and says that before he loses the power he gained from Ayon, he will defeat the rest of them. However, before he can do so, he is suddenly cut in half.
