Summary
The Bount Mabashi successfully strikes Suì-Fēng with a poisoned Bitto. Using his Dolls ability, Mabashi takes control of the Onmitsukidō and other Shinigami across the Seireitei. Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, and Yasutora Sado find themselves being attacked by their own comrades and are forced to defend themselves. Sajin Komamura learns of this and questions Shūhei Hisagi about what is happening. Lieutenant Hisagi, having fought and seen Mabashi's ability first-hand, tells Captain Komamura about his Doll and its ability. Captain Komamura orders all his subordinates to capture the infected Shinigami alive and take them to Captain Retsu Unohana, as she might be able to help them.

While relaxing and letting his mind controlled subjects wreak havoc across the Seireitei, an injured Suì-Fēng tracks him down. As they fight, Suì-Fēng successfully strikes him in the chest with her Suzumebachi. Mabashi decides it is safer to retreat and let the poison take its affect. Suì-Fēng, unable to follow him, collapses from the pain. Suì-Fēng begins to suspect the end is near for her and begins to reflect on her life. Just then, she gets an idea.

Elsewhere, Mabashi begins to wonder if Suì-Fēng has died. He finds her on the ground, still alive. Members of the Onmitsukidō arrive and try to help Suì-Fēng, but Mabashi reveals that all of them are his puppets. Having realized that standard Shinigami are not enough to overwhelm the Seireitei, Mabashi decides to take control of Suì-Fēng and use her to kill her own comrades. Just then Suì-Fēng uses her Shunko and strikes Mabashi a second time in the chest with her Zanpakutō. When Mabashi questions how she overcame the poison and Suì-Fēng reveals that she had used her own Zanpakutō's poison to nullify the poison and used this to lure him in close enough to finish him off. Mabashi uses all of his Reiatsu to try and fight the poison and summons his Doll. However, with his drop in power, Mabashis Doll turns on him. As the poison takes full effect, Mabashi dies. With this, all of the possessed Shinigami return to normal.

Across the Seireitei, the other Bounts sense his death. Yoshi directly states she couldn't care less says good riddance. Sawatari also seems to not care and states he knows he is being watched and asks the spy to come out. Mayuri Kurotsuchi steps forward and asks Sawatari where Maki Ichinose is. Sawatari says he felt Ichinose's Reiatsu disappear and thought he was dead. Mayuri says it is a shame, cause now he will aim the revenge he wanted on Ichinose towards him instead. Sawatari delightfully tells him to bring it, because he has been given a very special task. Sawatari has been told to wipe out all of the captains of the Seireitei.
