Summary
Barragan, furious at having lost over half of his Fracción, prepares to take action himself but is persuaded by Ggio Vega, one of his two remaining Fracción, who pleads with him to leave the remaining Shinigami to him and his other unnamed Fracción. Barragan agrees. Soifon overhears this and rushes to challenge Ggio, thus the two begin to battle. Then, the remaining Shinigami and Arrancar face off to an intense battle. Hitsugaya and Matsumoto battle with Harribel and her Fracción while Ukitake and Kyōraku fights with Lilinette and Starrk.
