Summary
A recap of events from the moment Sōsuke Aizen betrayed the Soul Society, the search for the Ōken, the friends training for the Winter War, the last Arrancar invasion before the winter war, Ichigo Kurosaki and company's invasion of Hueco Mundo and infiltration of Las Noches along with their Arrancar friends, their farewell anyone to fight with an Espada, which Ichigo bumps into Ulquiorra Cifer, but was defeated by him. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez brought Orihime Inoue to Ichigo to forcefully heal him, Ichigo fought Grimmjow until he defeated him. In the aftermath, Orihime says she's "pretty tough, too!" "When she was little she never caught colds or-", only for Ichigo to interrupt her by lifting her. She then tells him she's "heavy" and when he tells her she's "heavy", Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck hit Ichigo at his left leg, telling him he can't talk to a lady like that. There are a right way and wrong way! Even if she's heavy, he's supposed to say she's light! Even if she's really heavy! Orihime then responds her that's enough and she's making her depressed. And Ichigo then goes down with her and Nel Tu and tried to go save Chad and Rukia Kuchiki only for Grimmjow to get up on his legs. Grimmjow attempts to continue the fight. He is attacked by Espada Nnoitra Jiruga. As Ichigo and Nnoitra begin to fight, Tesla, Nnoitra's subordinate, captures Orihime. Nnoitra reveals that he is the fifth Espada, and is stronger than Grimmjow. Meanwhile, Renji Abarai, Uryū Ishida, Dondochakka Bilstin, and Pesche Guatiche attempt to flee the Espada Szayel Aporro Granz, but due to Szayel's control of the building they are in, he redirects the hallways to point back towards their battlefield.

Kon sleeps until Hanatarō comes to the air room and tells him they've "got trouble!" Kon replies him "What's wrong? You won in the lottery?" Hanatarō replies him that's not it! They've changed their airtime! (A tag with white letters then appears Actually this started with the last episode!!) He asks if they weren't supposed to change the title for this segment, too. Kon then replies him "Nah, don't bother, just leave it alone. The content is gonna be the same anyway." Hanatarō then questions him if he isn't "just a bit negative?" And Kon then replies him he doesn't even know when" he's "gonna get to appear next." He then questions Hanatarō if it's right he's "in the same boat." Hanatarō then replies him yeah. (The newspaper then is remarked) He then thinks to himself "''I can't tell him. I'm getting some airtime pretty soon!''"

Note

 * Most of the recent scenes are seen in a recap from the prologue, they are continuous even after the cover and until Orihime replies Ichigo "Well, I’m pretty tough, too! When I was little I never caught colds or-" (interruption).
