Chapter 397

As Aizen questions a shocked Ichigo's belief that many of the events since meeting Rukia were coincidence and fate, Aizen reveals that Ichigo possesses the finest raw materials needed for his research. Ichigo tells Aizen that his claims go against what he said on the Sōkyoku Hill when he was defecting, but Aizen asks him if he was telling the truth back then. As Aizen continues to reveal more about Ichigo and his plans, he is interrupted by the arrival of Ichigo's father, Isshin.
