Summary
Whilst searching for Makoto Kibune, Izuru Kira recieves a Hell's Butterfly which relays the message that Amagai has joined forces with Ichigo, Shu and Rukia. Elsewhere, Amagai is discussing their plan of action with Ichigo and Rukia. He tellls them of his problem with Kibune and they agree to work together to solve both problems. At the same time, Kira is at a loss as to where Makoto Kibune is. He does some thinking and guesses that the stadium where 3rd squad trained earlier is where he is and rushes to the stadium. On the way, he meets some other members of 3rd squad who show him the body of a Shinigami who had followed Kibune the previous night and was somehow killed. He then rushes on to the stadium and when on the roof, he sees Ruichiryo being attacked by some of the Assassins through a skylight. He himself is then attacked and after he has fended them off, he is attacked by Kibune. Kibune then reveals his true motives behind his betrayal of the Gotei 13, whilst drawing more and more power from his Bakkōtō. Kira discovers the weakness in his weapon and draws on his own motives for trying to win the battle.
