Summary
Rukia Kuchiki wakes up after being healed by Hanatarou Yamada, and Isane Kotetsu. Rukia wakes up and sees Byakuya's injuries. He tells her to ignore them. Kenpachi Zaraki and Nnoitra Jiruga still seem to be fighting, and Yasutora Sado is also healed. During the fight between Kenpachi and Nnoitra, Orihime rushes to heal Ichigo. But Ichigo tells her to heal Nel first. Orihime agrees, and goes to heal her. After being swallowed by Mayuri's bankai Szayel is thought to be dead, but after absorbing Nemu's spirit particles he is resurrected. Although Szayel seems to have the upperhand, it is revealed that Mayuri has been storing the 'Superhuman' drug in Nemu's body. Mayuri tells Szayel that the Superhuman drug makes one second feel like a century. With Szayel being affected by it he tries to lift his hand up to stop Mayuri but it takes a while. Slowly Mayuri stabs his sword through Szayel's hand and then though his heart. Szayel is told that he'll have to feel the pain for centuries before he finally disintegrates into nothing.
