Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Giriko Kutsuzawa

Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Giriko Kutsuzawa is the battle between the 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and the Fullbringer Giriko Kutsuzawa. It is the first and shortest battle between Xcution and the Gotei 13.

Prologue
After Kūgo Ginjō gets away and removes Ichigo Kurosaki's Fullbring from him, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna and the other members of Xcution rush to their location. Giriko and Yukio complain about Kūgo not sharing Ichigo's powers with them, with Yukio stating that they promised to share. Kūgo states that he intended to share it and uses his sword on each of them, empowering them and changing their forms slightly.

After obtaining their new power, Giriko is ecstatic saying that Ichigo's powers feel like youth is overflowing from within his body. Yukio responds his reaction makes him sound like an old geezer. After Giriko tells Ichigo to prepare himself for a fight, Ichigo attacks Yukio and the other Fullbringers declaring he held back so they shouldn't be dead. Yukio suddenly speaks saying "What?" He quotes Ichigo saying "They shouldn't be dead" and says Ichigo is acting so cool, it's making him laugh. A copy of his body starts to disappear, and he asks Ichigo if he considered that they had evaded his attack.

Battle
The very brief battle begins after Yukio separates all the fighters into "chat rooms" using his enhanced Fullbring, Invaders Must Die. Zaraki is annoyed when Captain Byakuya Kuchiki does not grant his request to trade opponents as he believed Shūkurō Tsukishima appeared to be stronger. Giriko wonders if Zaraki thinks he is weak after noting Zaraki's comment to Byakuya. He informs the captain that he can't have him thinking that way. Zaraki simply tells Giriko to stop talking as he finds it boring to cut "small fry."

Giriko simply smiles and remarks that Zaraki appears to be an imbecile with brawn for brains. He tells the captain that the only way to teach people like him is to use brute force, and turns a knob on the armor of his enhanced Fullbring. He transforms into a much larger and more muscular form. Giriko then proceeds to boast about his "Time Tells No Lies" being able to even do such a transformation. He explains about how his contract with the gods of time gives him greater strength the simpler the clauses are. He goes on to say that his current contract is for the simplest, most brutal strengthening of power and that he's unmatched in power. However, Giriko is interrupted by Zaraki, as the Shinigami swiftly cuts him and repeats his earlier statement of killing someone like Giriko being boring as the Fullbringer is cut in half. Giriko is shocked and remarks on his defeat being impossible before dying. His body collapses as the dimension created by Yukio's Fullbring disappears.

Aftermath
Having defeated Giriko, Kenpachi looks around to see if anyone is done with their match yet. Seeing that no one is, he gets bored and decides to go back home. However, Yachiru Kusajishi pops up and smacks him. She says they all came together and promised to go home together so if they leave, Yamamoto will have their heads. She then continues to pull on his ears as he walks.
