Publisher's summary
Ganju manages to defeat Yumichika, and he later reunites with Ichigo. Meanwhile, Uryū and Orihime are confronted by Jirōbō Ikkanzaka, the 4th seat of the 7th Division, but Uryū easily defeats him. Ichigo and Ganju are confronted by a large group of Shinigami, all from the 11th Division, and are able to escape by using a clumsy 4th Division officer, Hanatarō Yamada, as a distraction. Hanatarō tells them about a shortcut to the place where Rukia is being held. Renji, the lieutenant of the 6th Division, confronts Ichigo to stop him and end their fight. Using what he learned with Urahara, Ichigo manages to overpower Renji and defeats him. Before falling to the ground, Renji recalls his long-time friendship with Rukia and asks Ichigo to save her.
