261. LEFTARM OF THE DEVIL
Summary: Using the new-found power of his left arm, Chad easily defeats Gantenbainne. His victory is short-lived, however, as he is soon ambushed and quickly defeated by Nnoitra.
Cover of Chapter 261: LEFT ARM OF THE DEVIL
The chapter begins with Chad repeating the name of his left arm's true form: Brazo Izquierda del Diablo. Stunned, Gantenbainne can only repeat the name in apparent wonder and fear, with the "devil" of Chad's arm reflected in his eyes. Now back into focus, Gantenbainne grins as he charges up another one of his Resurrección's attacks; stating that Diablo is "a hell of a name." Gantenbainne hurls the fiery blast toward Chad, who merely crushes it in his left hand.
Now feeling a twinge of fear, Gantenbainne rushes Chad, attempting to finish him off with one powerful punch. However, Chad just as easily blocks his fist with his right arm's true form: Brazo Derecha de Gigante. Chad takes the opportune moment and outstretches his left hand, charging up an electrical current in his fingers and solidifying it in his fist before dealing his "La Muerte" attack, which literally blows Gantenbainne out of his Resurrección form and destroys the wall behind them, leading them out into the desert-like dome of Las Noches.
As Gantenbainne lays defeated on the ground, Chad kneels before him and thanks the Arrancar for pushing him into unlocking his full potential and as a gesture of kindness he'll "spare his life and pray for his good fortune." Now back on his feet, Chad questions the interior dome of Las Noches but is soon warned by the fallen Privaron Espada of an approaching enemy. Chad quickly dons his transformed arms and deals a massive blow squarely in the enemy's stomach, but to no avail as an unaffected and wickedly grinning Nnoitra proceeds to cut Chad down with a single strike.

Summary: Chad's defeat is felt by everyone in Hueco Mundo, particularly Orihime Inoue. Ulquiorra appears and berates her friends for attempting to rescue her, prompting Orihime to slap him. Elsewhere, Rukia encounters Aaroniero.
Cover of Chapter 262: Unblendable
Chad is seen critically injured from the blow dealt by Nnoitra, with the shield of his Right Arm sliced cleanly in two. Chad's eyes widen in horror as he falls to the ground whist Nnoitra clicks his tongue in disappointment, stating that Chad is "As Weak As Hell". Chad's defeat is felt throughout Las Noches, most particularly through Ichigo and friends, who each take a hardened expression to this news while Ichigo begins to pick up speed, clearly pained and worried; mentally telling himself to believe in Chad, that together they swore to make out of this mess and return alive.
Elsewhere in Las Noches, Chad's defeat is also felt by Orihime, who gives a sorrowful expression to Ulquiorra upon the latter entering the room. Ulquiorra explains that Nnoitra is an idot for disobeying a direct order to await the enemy within his own chambers and presents Orihime with food to eat. However, Orihime refuses to eat and states that "Sado-Kun is not dead" over and over again. Now clearly annoyed, Ulquiorra sarcastically questions what Orihime expects him to say: "Don't worry, I'm sure he's still alive so he'll make it here to rescue you?" Ulquiorra rebuffs this by stating that "I am not here to be your friend." Ulquiorra also questions if such a trivial matter is really that important, seeing as her friends will all be dead one way or another. Ulquiorra goes on to explain that they should of known what they were getting into the moment they invaded this place and if they didn't, then the fault lies in their own stupidity and he would be infuriated with anger if they came here to throw their lives away for a "Spoiled, sniveling little girl who isn't even worth it."
Ulquiorra takes his words too far, however, as Orihime steps up and delivers a hard slap across his face in retaliation, to which the former coldly stares at her before exiting the room, warning her that if she has not eaten her meal within the hour, then he will "strap her down and force it down her throat." as Ulquiorra exits, Orihime can be seen breaking down in tears.
Meanwhile, Rukia races up a flight of stairs, believing it to be the quickest way to reach Chad. Unfortunately, the stairs lead her to a long Suspension Bridge connected to a large, oddly-structured Tower. As Rukia questions why she is outside when she clearly went inside the building, an even stranger figure immediately appears behind her, asking if "she would care for him to explain it to her." As Rukia whips around to face him, the figure appears behind her yet again, and enters the tower while beckoning her to follow. Hand now to the hilt of her sword, Ruika approaches the door and boldly enters the pitch-black building. As she does, the doors close shut behind her and the figure can be heard somewhere in the darkness, breathing a sigh of relief and explaining that he "Simply can't stand the sunlight." As torches are mysteriously lit throughout the room, the figure removes his elongated mask and introduces himself as "The Noveno (9th) Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie." However, contradictory to his name, his face is that of Kaien Shiba, Rukia's deceased mentor and first love.....
And thus, the Espada have begun to act on the Invasion of Las Noches....
