The Most Evil Reigai, Appears in the Real World!

 is the three hundred thirty-second episode of the Bleach anime.

Summary
As the dust settles from the false Kenpachi and Ikkaku's clash, Ikkaku struggles to rise as his cloned captain stands over him and comments that their fight was rather enjoyable. He prepares to finish Ikkaku off, but Nozomi intervenes, releasing Arazomeshigure and blasting away the mod-soul.

Izuru and Shuhei observe the smoke from the resulting blast from a distance, wondering what that was all about. Before they can ponder further, the false Hitsugaya attacks. The two lieutenants immediately release their Zanpakuto. Hitsugaya notes that they're going all out from the start, to which Kira replies that such a precaution is neccessary against a captain. However, the false captain quickly proves that his power is far beyond their reach as he blurs past them, delivering incredibly powerful sword strikes as he passes. Shuhei notes in wonder and shock at how powerful the mod-soul Captains have gotten without their limiters. Hitsugaya springs back up for another pass, noting how the two shouldn't waste their time with words.

Elsewhere, Rangiku and Iba square off with the Komamura copy, who asks if "these small fry are my opponents." With sparking eyes, he comments on how disappointing it is and unleashes his intense reiatsu.

Back where Nozomi is gazing at the destruction Arazomeshigure caused, Ichigo rushes onto the scene and manages to catch Nozomi as she sways. He notes how she does not seem as alright as she thinks, to which Nozomi snaps that she's just a little dizzy. Ichigo asks how her Zanpaku-to works, and Nozomi explains that Arazomishigure absorbs her enemy's power, converts it into her own, and then rebounds the energy back at the opponent. Yumichika comments that "that's one nasty power," and compliments the unconscious Ikkaku on how well he fought. Before anything else can be said and done, however, a burst of golden reiatsu erupts from the wreckage that Nozomi blasted not-Kenpachi into and the clone captain arises and complements Nozomi's Zanpaku-to's power. Nozomi prepares to fight, but Yumichika steps between the two and tells the two to retreat for now and take Ikkaku with them. He then draws his sword and engages the mod-soul Captain, who comments that Yumichika would be nice to start with. Yumichika releases his "shikai," Fuji Kujaku, and attacks. Ichigo begins to retreat with Ikkaku over his shoulder, but Nozomi informs him that she has resolved to go help the others and then leaps off.

Ishida explains about Nozomi's Zanpakuto and its abilities. Nozomi then holds Ichigo's right hand, surprising him. Ishida then also begins to hold Ichigo's left hand while stating that Quincies also have the ability to absorb Spiritual Pressure. Ichigo then becomes terrified and tries to release his hands from both Nozomi and Ishida's grip, which makes him fall onto the ground. Ishida then states that they can't absorb Spiritual Pressure through touch alone, with Nozomi giggling along. Ichigo then become angered upon hearing Ishida's explanation.
