Ikkaku Madarame & Sajin Komamura vs. Choe Neng Poww

Ikkaku Madarame & Sajin Komamura vs. Choe Neng Poww is one of the four battles to defend the four pillars that keeps Karakura Town in Soul Society. It is one of the first in a long series of battles to take place in the fake Karakura Town. The battle initially involves the 3rd Seat of the 10th Division, Ikkaku Madarame going against Choe Neng Poww who is one of Baraggan Luisenbarn's Fracción. However, 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura intervenes to help Ikkaku when Ikkaku is found to be struggling.

Prologue
Ikkaku Madarame is assigned to defend one of the four pillars that keeps Karakura Town in the Soul Society. As Baraggan Luisenbarn reveals his knowledge of the four pillars, he calls for his Fracción, Findor Carias to take action. Findor summons for four gigantic Hollows that appear at each pillar. However, Ikkaku is able to easily repel and kill the Hollow. Seeing this minor obstacle, Baraggan sends his Fracción, Choe Neng Poww along with Findor Carias, Charlotte Cuuhlhourne, and Avirama Redder to kill them and destroy the pillars. Ikkaku's notices Poww's arrival and comments that he is rather large. He then goes on to say that he prays Poww is as tough as he looks. Poww responds by asking what Ikkaku is praying to, questioning if the Shinigami had some deity that they prayed to. Ikkaku is mildly surprised by the Arrancar's response, noting that he really has nothing that he prays to. He then decides that it does not matter and settles with praying to Poww's god then. Poww gives no objection, stating that his god is his king who knows that Ikkaku stands no chance against Poww.

Battle
As their battle goes on, Ikkaku pauses for a brief moment as he thought he heard Yumichika Ayasegawa laughing which he believes is impossible as they are in battle. Poww tries to take advantage of Ikkaku's distraction by throwing a punch that Ikkaku notices and dodges. Ikkaku then taunts Poww, saying that he is too slow and cannot win on strength alone. Their fight goes on until Poww is able to achieve his given objective: destroying the pillar. The other members of the Gotei 13 notice this, some being rather surprised at this development. Yumichika Ayasegawa tries to rush to Ikkaku's aid, but he is stopped by Shūhei Hisagi. Yumichika hysterically yells at Hisagi to let go as he protests Hisagi's statement that he could do nothing against someone who defeated Ikkaku. However, Yumichika is quickly knocked out by Izuru Kira with Shinten. Both Kira and Hisagi see the real Karakura Town return back as the pillar that kept it in Soul Society was destroyed. Poww comments on this as well. He then eyes Ikkaku, stating that it was too bad that Ikkaku was dead as it seemed like he was still hiding some power. Ikkaku then starts moving, asking who was Poww calling dead. He then is stepped on by Poww. Poww continues inflicting pain on Ikkaku, giving Ikkaku an ultimatum to say that he will bring out his power or die. Ikkakku defiantly says that he will not, not only denying having hidden powers but also that he would not waste them on such small fry even if he did. Poww then prepares to kill Ikkaku but is caught off guard and sent flying away by a punch from Captain Komamura. Ikkaku is visibly surprised by the captain's arrival. Komamura then calls for Lieutenant Iba, who throws several rod items to stop the regression effect of the destroyed pillar from completely returning Karakura Town. Poww then starts laughing, unscathed after being sent into a nearby building by Komamura. He leaps back on his feet, right in front of Komamura. Iba notices that Poww is even larger than Captain Komamura. Poww questions whether Komamura is a Shinigami or a dog and compliments him on his punch. However, Poww claims that Komamura's attack was not a "real punch" and so gives a "real punch" that sends Komamura flying away a considerable distance. Poww continues on, deciding to show them the "greatest punch" of all by releasing his Zanpakutō: Calderón. Poww's body quickly swells up until he balloons into a gigantic creature that is roughly the size of a Gillian-class Menos and shadows over Iba.
