Summary
Izuru Kira and Makoto Kibune continue the battle, and he tells Kibune that the katana is controlling him, telling him again that that isn't his true power. Kira discovered that his Bakkōtō covers the surface of his Zanpakutō, and attempt to break it, telling him that his strength is fake. Kibune's Bakkōtō absorbs his spiritual power, attempt to perform final strike on Kira, but Kira easily defeats him, but he passed out after that. Whilst Ichigo Kurosaki and the team head toward the Kasumiōji manor only to be discovered by Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Shūsuke Amagai engages in a fight with Hitsugaya, with both captains immediately releasing their swords knowing full well that they cannot hold back.

Arrancar Encyclopedia
Gin explains about the blue sky in Las Noches; where Aizen has created a fake sun because it's normally always night. Gin says he made it on a whim, and then Tosen appears and asks why Gin is explaining that. Gin replies that he thinks that the action will be returning to Hueco Mundo. Tosen then say that Gin just wants more air time, to which Gin says that that's probably what Tosen is there for too.
