Summary
Sōsuke Aizen, Kaname Tōsen, and Gin Ichimaru arrive in Karakura Town and are greeted by the remaining captains of the Gotei 13 and their lieutenants. Aizen states how he is aware that he is not in the real Karakura Town and says that after slaughtering them, he will make the King's Key in Soul Society. He leaves Las Noches is in Ulquiorra Cifer's hands, at which point, Ulquiorra appears in the throne room behind Orihime Inoue. His appearance is sensed by Ichigo Kurosaki and he rushes to the 5th tower where Ulquiorra and Orihime are located. It then shows a young Plus girl being chased by Hollows in Kagamino City, 22km from Karakura Town, when suddenly the Hollows are killed simply by the Reiatsu of the Gotei 13 captains, Aizen, and his top Espada. Eikichirō Saidō, a Shinigami assigned to the area tells the girl to run before she is attacked again, then questions how the battle will end.

It then returns to the Karakura where the captains and lieutenants talk amongst themselves, when suddenly the Captain-Commander tells everyone to get back as he unleashes his Shikai to trap Aizen, Tōsen, and Gin. Back in Las Noches, Ulquiorra talks to Orihime, asking if she is scared. She replies that she isn't scared and tells why so. Ichigo is temporarily delayed by the Exequias and their leader, Rudobōn. Rudobōn and his men attack, but are stopped by Renji Abarai, Sado Yasutora, and Rukia Kuchiki. Ichigo continues on his way eventually breaking though the floor into the throne room, ready to battle.
