Kisuke Urahara vs. Yammy Llargo

Kisuke Urahara vs. Yammy Riyalgo is a battle during the Arrancar Invasion, taking place in Karakura Town. Aizen sends four powerful Arrancar to Karakura Town to create a distraction that will allow the abduction of Orihime Inoue. They immediately encounter Tōshirō Hitsugaya and his front guard in the Karakura Park. Hitsugaya initially confronts Yammy Riyalgo, who introduces himself as the 10th Espada. However Luppi asks Yammy to let him take on Hitsugaya and his three subordinates together, and Yammy is left without an enemy to fight. At the same time, the former 12th Division captain, Kisuke Urahara relieves Renji Abarai, who is busy training with Chad at Urahara's secret training ground from reporting to the battle, saying he will go to face up to the enemy instead. Upon arriving Urahara first saves Rangiku Matsumoto from Luppi's attack and is subsequently attacked by Wonderweiss Margera. When he is about to face Wonderweiss, he is hit in the back by one of Yammy's Bala.

Battle
The Bala causes Urahara to fall to the ground. Yammy continues to fire Balas towards where he saw Urahara fall, hurling insults with every shot. When Yammy believes Urahara is finished, Urahara surprises him by appearing behind him and teasing him. Yammy tries a swift attack but Urahara dodges, and Yammy is shocked to see Urahara still alive and well. He attempts to hit Urahara with more Balas, but Urahara flash steps behind him and holds his sword to Yammy's throat. Urahara reveals that he wasn't hit by the later Balas which hit Urahara's portable Gigai instead, and now that he's seen Yammy fire many of them, he was able to analyze the Bala's Reishi composition and Yammy's own muscle movement during firing. He won't get hit by one again, and he can even stop Yammy from firing.

Before the two can continue their battle, the mission for which the Arrancar were sent to Karakura was completed, and Yammy is surrounded by a Negación ray and pulled back into Hueco Mundo.
