Uryū Ishida vs. Jin Kariya

 is a battle taking place on the final day of the Bount Invasion between Uryū Ishida and the Bount Jin Kariya, with Ran'Tao aiding the former after confronting Kariya prior.

Prelude
On the day that Jin Kariya promised to destroy the Seireitei using the power of the Jōkaishō, he is confronted by Ran'Tao, who recognizes him as the young Bount she saved and gave an amulet that awakened his powers upon seeing the crest on his chest. Though Ran'Tao assures him that the Bount can be saved now that Soul Society and the Shinigami have changed, Kariya reveals that all the other Bount are dead, and when Ran'Tao refuses to give up on helping him, Kariya rejects and attacks her.

While Uryū Ishida senses Ran'Tao's Reiatsu and deduces that she is fighting Kariya, the latter stands before an incapacitated Ran'Tao next to a damaged wall and muses on having forgotten about her even though she gave the Bount false hope and eternal suffering before wondering if this is due to the power of the Jōkaishō. Concluding that it is over for the weak Bount who listened to Ran'Tao and for Soul Society who mercilessly used the Bount, Kariya declares that he will destroying everything Ran'Tao holds dear.

With Kariya summoning wind around both arms and firing a powerful gust from his right hand at Ran'Tao, she is suddenly is whisked away right before the wind gust slams into the area where she was lying, leaving a stunned Kariya to look around and see Uryū standing behind him with Ran'Tao in his arms. As Uryū and Kariya stare at each other, Ran'Tao recognizes Uryū as the Quincy, and after setting Ran'Tao on her feet, Uryū asserts he is Kariya's opponent, which prompts a chuckling Kariya to question what Uryū can do.

Battle
In response, Uryū fires a Heilig Pfeil at Kariya, who shifts his posture to evade it and is shocked to see that Uryū has disappeared from his sight with Hirenkyaku while the latter reappears in the air above and behind him. With Kariya astonished by this, Uryū fires another Heilig Pfeil directly at him, creating a large explosion of energy on impact, and moves back down to the ground with Hirenkyaku as Kariya reappears on the wall damaged by his last attack. Watching Uryū while he nocks another Heilig Pfeil in his Heilig Bogen, Kojaku, Ran'Tao mentally expresses amazement at him having completely mastered the Quincy Bangle.

When Kariya demands to know how this is possible if Uryū reached the limit of the Quincy Bangle during his battle with Yoshi, Uryū explains that it quickly amasses and multiplies Reishi in order to assist Quincy with weak spiritual powers before elaborating that this means the Quincy Bangle accumulates power even if its wielder does nothing and observing that all he did until now was attack and adjust the outgoing power of his Heilig Pfeil, a method guaranteed to make the Quincy Bangle reach its limit and eventually discharge spontaneously due to being unable to handle the amount of Reishi. However, Uryū reveals that the Quincy Bangle can be used solely as an amplifier if he uses his own power to adjust and control the Reishi, lessening the stress on the Quincy Bangle and allowing him to fight even in this state.

Hearing this, Ran'Tao is left impressed by Uryū deducing this and using the Quincy Bangle so efficiently in his condition even though he only began using it because of the loss of his own spiritual powers. Despite this, Kariya merely laughs, and when Uryū asks him why he is doing so, Kariya inquires about why Uryū sides with the Shinigami when he has so much power as someone who should be their enemy. In response, Uryū insists he is not an ally of the Shinigami and is simply here to stop this senseless fight, which Kariya sarcastically calls noble, before reminding Kariya that Yoshino lost her life in order to defeat him because he hates Bount in addition to Shinigami.

After relaying Yoshino's warning that Kariya's all-consuming hatred would end up destroying the Bount as well, Uryū concludes Yoshino understood the complete lack of meaning for the Bount in what Kariya was doing and bitterly notes no one was able to stop him regardless, but vows to defeat Kariya despite this. As he mockingly questions if Uryū can do so, Kariya summons wind around his left arm and blasts it at Uryū, who pierces and disperses it with his subsequently-fired Heilig Pfeil that hurtles toward a startled Kariya. Upon leaping into the air to dodge the Heilig Pfeil, which slams into the rooftop below, Kariya sees another Heilig Pfeil rocketing toward him.

While blocking the Heilig Pfeil with a disc of wind formed in front of his braced arm, Kariya sees that Uryū has disappeared once more, and with Kariya moving through the air toward the center of the pavilion, Uryū begins creating afterimages by rapidly moving around him with Hirenkyaku and firing dozens of Heilig Pfeil, forcing Kariya to protect himself with a Wind Barrier that is unable to block all of them, which results in several Heilig Pfeil punching through Kariya's chest, shoulders, and legs. With Kariya crashing into the ground below in a large cloud of dust, Uryū readies another Heilig Pfeil and proclaims that it is over, only for Kariya to deny this.

Kariya fires a Wind Licht Schneide at Uryū from within the dust cloud, prompting Uryū to evade to the side, and reappears behind him while glowing with absorbed Reishi to unleash a concentrated wind blast from his right hand. As Uryū falls down to the ground below and slides back to dodge this, Kariya lands on the opposite wall's rooftop and finishes healing the holes in his body with Reishi, which he observes is of much higher quality in the Seireitei than it is in the Rukongai prior to asserting that Uryū's attacks are useless as long as he has this power. Suddenly, a sweating Uryū sees a slight crack form in the Quincy Bangle as a small piece falls off.

While a shocked Ran'Tao sees this, Kariya notes that the stress placed on the Quincy Bangle has not been completely erased by Uryū's new usage of it, but Uryū states that this is not a problem since he simply has to defeat Kariya before the Quincy Bangle breaks. When Kariya wonders if Uryū can do this while he has access to all the Reishi in the Seireitei, Uryū reminds him that he does as well and infuses the Quincy Bangle with a dense amount of Reishi that crackles like electricity prior to firing a powerful Heilig Pfeil that destroys the portion of the wall Kariya is standing on as he leans to the side to evade it, sending him flying through the air into the pavilion.

Upon seeing Uryū firing four more Heilig Pfeil at him from midair while he slides across the ground, Kariya dodges four and unleashes a small tornado to intercept and disperse two more. Once Uryū lands before him, Kariya observes he needs to aim properly in order to release a powerful Heilig Pfeil, with other attacks not having much power at all, and mockingly notes he does not have much time left when more cracks form in the Quincy Bangle. Behind Kariya, Ran'Tao internally expresses concern for what will happen at this rate and looks at the amulet in her hand before Uryū leaps away to avoid three more Wind Licht Schneide from Kariya.

In midair, Uryū begins firing several more Heilig Pfeil at Kariya, who runs along the ground below and comments on the increasing crudeness of Uryū's attacks as he unleashes a tendril of wind toward Uryū. With three more of his Heilig Pfeil slamming into the ground several meters away from where Kariya was located, Uryū is shocked to find Kariya behind him prior to the latter enveloping his left leg in wind and sending Uryū flying back, where he hits Uryū with a wind-infused punch in midair, resulting in the latter crashing down near the wall portion he destroyed. Though Kariya proclaims this is it for Uryū, Ran'Tao calls out to him and holds up the talisman, which opens.

Ran'Tao is engulfed in a powerful surge of Reiatsu and leaps forward to tackle Kariya, who is stunned by her newfound power and struggles to stop their movement by digging his heel into the ground, which is torn open by the force of this. When Kariya angrily attempts to punch her, Ran'Tao pops open the retractable blade in her hairpin and embeds it in Kariya's side, causing him to grunt in pain and preventing him from attacking her. As the two of them come to a halt, Ran'Tao urges a concerned Uryū to shoot Kariya through her now and details how she is temporarily intercepting the power of the Jōkaishō in order to increase her own Reiatsu, which she cannot maintain.

Despite Uryū insisting he cannot do such a thing, Ran'Tao urges him to not let Kariya add to his crimes, and after several seconds of hesitation, Uryū begins gathering Reishi into Kojaku and draws back another Heilig Pfeil. While Ran'Tao encourages him and Kariya demands she let go, Uryū fire the Heilig Pfeil, which slams into a shocked Kariya, creating a massive explosion of energy that sends Ran'Tao flying. After Uryū frantically slides along the ground to catch her, Ran'Tao, with her hair having come down, inquires about the status of Kariya, whom Uryū notes is still alive, leading Ran'Tao to realize Uryū purposely lessened the power of his Heilig Pfeil.

Confirming this, Uryū promises Ran'Tao that he is going to inflict the final blow right now and sets her down to begin approaching Kariya upon noticing the latter healing his injuries by absorbing Reishi. However, Uryū turns around in surprise when an agonized Ran'Tao begins emitting orange Reiatsu and screaming in pain as it surges through the surrounding area, which prompts Uryū to deduce that her Reiatsu is going out of control as a reaction to her earlier power and that she her body will disintegrate if it is not brought under control. Suddenly, Uryū remembers that the Quincy Bangle controls Reishi and rushes to Ran'Tao's side while telling her to hang on.

Uryū informs Ran'Tao he can use the Quincy Bangle to siphon off the Reiryoku destroying her body, but Ran'Tao asserts he cannot do this because the Quincy Bangle is nearing its limit and he must use its remaining power to destroy Kariya. After assuring Uryū she was fully prepared for this to happen when she used the amulet, Ran'Tao concludes he must use the only chance he has before Kariya fully recovers. With Kariya getting to his feet and cursing at them, Ran'Tao grasps Uryū's arm and pleads with him, only for Uryū to see Yoshino's dying face in her place and decide he cannot let Ran'Tao die like this as he draws her power into the Quincy Bangle.

Upon shaping the power into a large, orange Heilig Pfeil, a yelling Uryū fires it high into the air, where it explodes harmlessly, and observes he has reached his limit while the Quincy Bangle crumbles into pieces, causing his outfit to disappear and leave him standing in his normal clothes. Suddenly, as Uryū extends his hand to Ran'Tao and urges her to go somewhere safe with him, which she begins to accept, Kariya questions if he really thinks he can run away, startling them both, and stands before them fully healed while glaring at Uryū. Pointing out how Uryū has lost the perfect chance to kill him, Kariya states Uryū has escaped death for the last time.

Aftermath
When he sees Kariya concentrating wind around his left hand, Uryū protectively moves in front of Ran'Tao, but as the tornado subsequently unleashed by Kariya rips through the ground toward them, a Getsuga Tenshō slams into it from above, cutting vertically through the pavilion and forcing Uryū and Ran'Tao to shield their faces from the bright light. As the dust clears, Uryū is shocked to see Ichigo Kurosaki standing before him with his Shikai, Zangetsu, over his shoulder. With Ichigo nonchalantly noting that Uryū seems to be in a bind, an irritated Kariya disperses the dust in front of him with a swipe of his hand and curses at Ichigo, who stares at him.
