3 vs. 1 Battle! Rangiku's Crisis

'''3 vs. 1 Battle! Rangiku's Crisis''' is the two-hundred-twenty-fourth episode of the Bleach anime.

Momo arrives to help out Rangiku, prompting Harribel's Fraccíon to bring forth a giant Beast. Ukitake begins to fight Lilynette Gingerback.

Summary
Rangiku Matsumoto's battle with Tia Harribel's Fracción continues.

When things look desperate for Rangiku, Momo Hinamori arrives in a timely appearance and traps all the three Fraccíon with a Kidō net, which she causes to explode using her Zanpakutō Tobiume. Meanwhile, Coyote Starrk and Shunsui Kyōraku are still fighting while observing each other. Not far away from Starrk's battle field, Lilynette Gingerback tells Jūshirō Ukitake how strong Starrk is and how Kyōraku will lose. Ukitake then tells her that Kyōraku, too, is strong. Then, Lilynette asks Ukitake is he wants to fight her. He says he can't do it because he sees her as a little girl. Lilynette then draws her Zanpakutō and starts the fight with Ukitake. Back to Rangiku and Momo's battle, the three survived Momo's attack. Enraged, they release their Zanpakutō and apparently, their Resurrección heals their wounds. Wanting to finish the battle quickly, they use their Quimera Parca and a fearsome creature appears.

Shinigami Zanpakutō Introductions
Renji Abarai introduces Shūhei Hisagi's Zanpakutō, Kazeshini. Shūhei states that randomly spinning Kazeshini might hurt him as well. Renji suggests he doesn't brag about that.
