Shunsui Kyōraku & Jūshirō Ukitake vs. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto vs. Shunsui Kyōraku & Jūshirō Ukitake is a fight which starts after Captain Kyouraku grabs Captain Ukitake and jumps off the cliff, saying that someone else is there to save Ukitake’s third seats. Sure enough, none other than Yoruichi tackles Soi Fong off the cliff. Somewhere inside the city, Ukitake and Kyouraku decide that they have run far enough and are ready to face the commander. Nanao, who followed them, is completely paralyzed by Yamamoto’s gaze, so her captain quickly takes her to safety before returning to the fight. The commander is quite disappointed that his most promising and strongest disciples decided to turn against him. He takes off his outer garbs, revealing a stunning physique undernearth, and then releases his zanpaktou which turns into a fiery sword.

Battle
This battle was not on scene so not much can be said other than Ukitake and Kyouraku release their own zanpaktou, each creating a pair of swords and the three men clash into a huge explosion.

Aftermath
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Shunsui Kyōraku & Jūshirō Ukitake hear that Aizen, Gin, and Kaname have betrayed the Soul Society and go to the Sōkyoku Hill where most of the captains are.
