Summary
The fight between Shūsuke Amagai and Ichigo Kurosaki heats up as Ichigo releases his Hollow form. The power of Amagai's Bakkōtō seems to be unable to stop Ichigo, but Amagai's determination for revenge will not be beaten easily. Amagai attacks with his most powerful attack, and Ichigo is left with only half his mask. Rurichiyo Kasumiōji pleads with Ichigo to stop fighting but he continues because he never wants to see her sad again. As the fight continues, Ichigo loses more of his mask but manages to get one Getsuga Tenshō in to hit Amagai. It is so powerful that it makes rubble fall from the tower above them and this appears to crush Amagai. But Amagai doesn't appear harmed and declares that he is willing to die for his revenge and starts to draw more power from his Bakkōtō's power.
