Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, 11 second battle!

Ichigo vs Grimmjow, 11 second battle! is the one hundred thirty ninth episode of the Bleach anime.

The battles with the Arrancar continue, and Ichigo shows off his new power.

Summary
Emerging from a dark cloud with his mask on, Ichigo Kurosaki claims that he does not have time to explain and immediately attacks Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez with a point-blank range Getsuga Tenshō. Across town, Tōshirō Hitsugaya is unable to damage Yammy Llargo without activating his Bankai, and Yumichika Ayasegawa is faring poorly against Luppi Antenor. Ikkaku Madarame does not help his friend as he is not interested in fighting two against one. Luppi, however, asks Yammy to give him Hitsugaya and proposes that he fight all four Shinigami at once in his released form. Remembering what Shawlong Koufang could do in his released form, Hitsugaya activates his Bankai and charges Luppi, but he does not make it in time to stop him. Before the dust can clear from Luppi’s release, a tentacle strikes out at him, though Hitsugaya is able to block it with his ice wings. Luppi’s released form, however, has eight tentacles, and he attacks Hitsugaya with all of them at once, causing the captain to crash into the ground. Meanwhile, Rukia has arrived in the Human World and finds Renji Abarai getting a massage from the three mod-souls, so Renji explains how he exhausted his spiritual pressure in training, and that Urahara went out instead of him or Sado Yasutora.

Back above the city, Grimmjow is badly wounded from Ichigo’s attack and realizes that it is not a Shinigami’s strength. He demands to know what Ichigo did in this past month, but Ichigo reiterates that he does not have time to explain and pins Grimmjow between two Getsuga Tenshō attacks. As Grimmjow falls towards the ground, he fires a Cero that forces Ichigo to stop and defend himself. Grimmjow then flies back up and clashes swords with Ichigo several times before Ichigo regains his advantage and gets ready to make a swing that will end the fight. However, his mask breaks and Grimmjow, realizing he has the upper hand, quickly uses the opportunity to retaliate.

Luppi is now fighting Rangiku Matsumoto, Ikkaku, and Yumichika all at once and grabs all three with his tentacles. Admiring Rangiku’s body in particular, he sprouts some spikes on another of his tentacles and offers to fill her with holes. Before he can do so though, Urahara arrives and cuts off the tips of those two tentacles. However, shortly after Urahara introduces himself, Wonderweiss Margela attacks him, and Urahara has to defend himself.

In Soul Society, Orihime Inoue is allowed passage through the Dangai to the Human World and is given two Shinigami as escorts. As they are running through, a rift in the dimensional fabric opens up and Ulquiorra Cifer appears. Recognizing him from the previous battle, Inoue tries to stop him from hurting her escorts, but he ignores her and blows away half of one Shinigami. Before that Shinigami can die, Inoue uses her power to start healing him and tells the other Shinigami to run away. That escort does not get a chance to do so because Ulquiorra blows a huge chunk out of him too, forcing Inoue to expand her healing to cover both men. Admiring Inoue’s power, Ulquiorra tells her to come with him and instructs her to reply only with a yes. If she says anything other than that, he threatens to kill not her, but her friends who are currently struggling in their battles in the Human World. He then reveals that Sōsuke Aizen desires her power and that he has been sent to bring her back unharmed.

Arrancar Encyclopedia
Gin Ichimaru explains that when a new Arrancar is born, they replace one of the current Espada if they happen to be stronger. He then states that this was the case with Grimmjow and Luppi. Luppi then says that he should have been an Espada before that and Gin tells him that he thinks that they will get along great since the other Espada don't seem to be to fond of him. However, Luppi states that he doesn't like him either.
