Summary
By using Shunpo, Ichigo is able to wound Ryō. In response, Ryō uses an attack called the Snake Net that traps Ichigo regardless of where he jumps to. The snakes envelope Ichigo, but he manages survive relatively unscathed through use of his spiritual power. Ryō sends another wave of snakes, but Ichigo destroys it with a Getsuga Tenshō. Because of it, Ichinose breaks off his fight with Rukia and runs to Jin. No one was actually hurt by the attack, but it did destroy part of the room. Ryō uses the opportunity to betray Jin and make a grab for his crest. He tries to attack Jin, but Jin is still able to use his powers. Ichinose then appears before Ryō and uses a special attack to defeat him. He explains that his Zanpakutō is called Nijigasumi and introduces himself. When the enemy powers up, Ichigo has no choice but to do the same.
