Izuru Kira vs. Abirama Redder

Izuru Kira vs. Avirama Redder is a battle that takes place in the Fake Karakura Town and is one of the first in a long series of battles to take place there. This battle involves the lieutenant of the 3rd Division, Izuru Kira, facing off against one of Baraggan Luisenbarn's Fracción, Avirama Redder, in a fight to defend one of the four pillars.

Prologue
Izuru Kira is assigned to defend one of the four pillars that keeps Karakura Town in the Soul Society. After Izuru easily dispatches a Hollow attacking the pillar, Baraggan Luisenbarn sends four of his Fracción to attack these locations. One of the Fracción called Avirama Redder arrives at Kira's location and begins screaming that he's going to kill him but when he realizes that Kira isn't doing the same he tells him to stop being so gloomy. Kira tells him that he doesn't want to join in his "screaming game" and Avirama angrily tells him that it's not a game, but a ritual to get themselves pumped up when they fight each other. Avirama then begins doing the "ritual" again but Kira continues not to do anything, claiming that he doesn't see any reason in participating in something so negative. Avirama points out that he's the one that's negative but decides that he'll quit in convincing him to join in the ritual and introduces himself. Kira does the same, stating that he's from the 3rd Division, and with this new knowledge Avirama believes that the reason he was betrayed by Gin Ichimaru is because he's a coward.

Battle
Izuru swings his Zanpakutō at Avirama's face, causing a minor cut to form under his left eye, and he swiftly forms a small distance between the two of them. Kira tells Avirama not to mention Gin so casually in his presence, explaining that it would be better for him to die with superficial wounds, and Avirama notes that Kira can actually fight. As Avirama takes his Zanpakutō out, he tells him that he's going to erase his newly formed battle face and goes into his Resurrección, Águila.
