Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki & Yoruichi Shihōin vs. The Reigai

Ichigo Kurosaki & Rukia Kuchiki & Yoruichi Shihōin vs. The Reigai is a fight taking place within the Reigai Uprising. It focuses upon the conflict between the three Shinigami and the Reigai army, who proceed to stop them from entering the Senkaimon and returning to the Human World.

Prologue
As Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki stare despondently at the frozen image of Nozomi Kujō, she asks him what their next move is. He states that they will attempt to return to the Human World, but Rukia berates him for thinking that their enemies will just sit idly and let them leave. Ichigo asks what she believes is the right cause of action, but she is unable to come up with anything. However, Yoruichi Shihōin arrives at the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, as Rukia asks what became of the Reigai. She states that mere impostors would never get the better of her, as Ichigo comments upon her superior speed.

Rukia informs Yoruichi that the Reigai have probably took up guard outside the Senkaimon, and that getting there will be no easy feat. Yoruichi agrees, and states that their only option is to break through head-on. Both Rukia and Ichigo are surprised at this statement, as she reiterates that Yoruichi told them that the imposters have strengths paralleling that of a Gotei 13 captain. However, Yoruichi states that the reason that they will be attacking head-on is due to the fact that they are imposters.

Battle
Ichigo, Yoruichi and Rukia land upon a rooftop, and the Reigai are instantly alerted to their presence. The other Reigai appear in the courtyard, as Ichigo realises that more of them have arrived. Yoruichi states that they were planning on intercepting them, but explains that they cannot hold off the Senkaimon wall for a long time, and that that is their window of opportunity to enter the Dangai. She continues, stating that they have no need to fight back, and that all they need to do is punch through their defensive wall.

The three of them jump towards the courtyard, as Reigai-Shūhei Hisagi notes that they are preparing to attack. Reigai-Tōshirō Hitsugaya states that all they need to do is prevent them from going through the Senkaimon, drawing his katana. He explains that all they must do is slow their advance, as Rukia blocks a direct strike from Reigai-Renji Abarai's Zanpakutō. At the same time, Reigai-Ikkaku Madarame attacks Ichigo, as Rukia is thrown back towards the ground. The Reigai appears in front of her, but as she moves in to attack him, her Zanpakutō is coiled by Reigai-Shūhei's Zanpakutō.

Ichigo calls out to her, but Reigai-Ikkaku tells him not to get distracted, moving in for another attack. He gets knocked to the ground with the Reigai's attack, but before he can regain his senses, Reigai-Tetsuzaemon Iba charges behind him, slamming his Zanpakutō down. However, Ichigo uses Shunpo to evade the attack, the ground crumbling where he previously stood. He regroups beside Rukia, as the three Reigai proceed to surround them. As Yoruichi travels along the ground, Reigai-Sajin Komamura strikes directly at her, causing her to double back.

As she jumps back, Reigai-Tōshirō Hitsugaya intervenes, using Hyōrusenbi. However, as she goes on the defensive once again, Reigai-Sajin strikes down with his Shikai, resulting in her inflatable Gigai detonating before their eyes. On cue, both Rukia and Ichigo's inflatable Gigai detonate, moments before the Reigai can strike them down. Reigai-Renji is surprised, as Reigai-Ikkaku states that he didn't do anything. Reigai-Hitsugaya and Komamura look around uneasily, wondering what transpired.
