Nnoitra then notices that the nearest energy level, (Rukia), was taken in by Aaroniero. As Nnoitra gets up to leave, his Fracción questions where they are going. Nnoitra explains that he found a massive reiatsu in that direction, and is going to go "crush it." However, before he can take another step, a faint voice from behind tells to him to wait. Nnoitra turns to see a weakened Chad, rising to his feet and clutching his freshly-bleeding wound. Despite his severe injuries, Chad states that he will not let Nnoitra leave, to which the latter only grins and is surprised that former is still alive at all. Electrical sparks fly from Chad's left arm as he gathers all of his remaining energy into one last blow. Before the strike can connect, Telsa intervenes and blocks his fist with his Zanpakutō. Tesla states that such an attack could never reach "Nnoitra-sama" as Chad curses one last time before finally falling to the ground, unconscious. Tesla re-sheaths his Zanpakutō and turns to leave but finds himself on the bladed edge of Nnoitra's Zanpakutō, who angrily questions why Telsa intervened. Stammering his apologies, Telsa expressed his concern that, at the opponent's full-power, such an attack might have injured him. Nnoitra reprimands his Fracción by reminding him that there is "No force in the universe that could break his body, for [he is] the strongest Espada."

Back at the tower, Rukia finally gathers up the courage to ask whether or not the figure standing before her is the real Kaien but catches herself, remembering that she killed him with her own hands long ago. Before she can question herself any further, the pseudo-Kaien jumps down from the raised platform he was standing on to give Rukia a comical and warm welcome. After hearing him speak and act like Kaien, she becomes convinced that the person standing before her is, however impossible it may seem, truly Kaien. After finding some stored cushions and sitting down with her, Kaien explains what happened after the night of his death. How his spirit body completely disintegrated after Rukia gave his farewells to his family, how the Hollow who consumed him, Metastacia, was designed to return to Hueco Mundo upon it's destruction, how the two were still merged at the time, and how Kaien managed to gain control of the new spirit body and take the place of the 9th Espada without Aizen's notice. Aaroniero further informs Rukia that the sole reason he drew her into the building was to shield her from the illusionary sky of Las Noches, for everywhere the light touches is monitored by Aizen. Aaroniero beckons Rukia to follow him, for he has a task for her that only she can do. As Rukia makes her way to follow, Aaroniero sharply draws his sword, and attempts to spear Rukia through her left eye. However, Rukia evades the attack in time and manages to put a fair distance between herself and the attacker. As the wound on Rukia left cheek bleeds profusely, Aaroniero calls out her name, ''in two separate voices''.

Chapters

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.

File:LEFT ARM OF THE DEVIL Cover.jpg

Cover of 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.

Characters in order of appearance:

262. Unblendable

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 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 while 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, 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 idiot 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. Annoyed, Ulquiorra sarcastically questions what Orihime expects him to say.

However, Orihime steps up and delivers a hard slap across his face in retaliation, to which Ulquiorra 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 breaks 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 bridge connected to a large tower. As Rukia questions why she is outside when she clearly went inside the building, a 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. Rukia 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."

Characters in order of appearance:

263. Unexpected

Summary: Rukia stands bewildered at the apparent return of her deceased mentor Kaien. Elsewhere, Nnoitra's lone Fracción appears and blocks Chad from attempting one last strike against Nnoitra while Aaroniero succeeds in fooling Rukia into leaving herself wide open to an attack.

File:Unexpected Cover.jpg

Cover of 263: Unexpected

Filled with shock and confusion, Rukia can only stutter Kaien's name as she stands before the figure of her seemingly resurrected mentor.

Elsewhere, the lanky figure of Nnoitra Jiruga looms over the desert, searching for the nearest energy levels using his pesquisa. He is not kept waiting long, and is soon approached by his Fracción, Tesla. Upon arrival, Tesla notices the battered body of Chad and inquires as to whether or not Nnoitra is going to deliver the finishing blow. His Espada master responds by stating that such an act is useless, for who will recognize his strength even if he kills 1,000 weaklings?

Nnoitra then notices that the nearest energy level, (Rukia), was taken in by Aaroniero. As Nnoitra gets up to leave, his Fracción questions where they are going. Nnoitra explains that he found a massive reiatsu in that direction, and is going to go "crush it." However, before he can take another step, a faint voice from behind tells to him to wait. Nnoitra turns to see a weakened Chad, rising to his feet and clutching his freshly-bleeding wound. Despite his severe injuries, Chad states that he will not let Nnoitra leave, to which the latter only grins and is surprised that former is still alive at all. Electrical sparks fly from Chad's left arm as he gathers all of his remaining energy into one last blow. Before the strike can connect, Telsa intervenes and blocks his fist with his Zanpakutō. Tesla states that such an attack could never reach "Nnoitra-sama" as Chad curses one last time before finally falling to the ground, unconscious. Tesla re-sheaths his Zanpakutō and turns to leave but finds himself on the bladed edge of Nnoitra's Zanpakutō, who angrily questions why Telsa intervened. Stammering his apologies, Telsa expressed his concern that, at the opponent's full-power, such an attack might have injured him. Nnoitra reprimands his Fracción by reminding him that there is "No force in the universe that could break his body, for [he is] the strongest Espada."

Back at the tower, Rukia finally gathers up the courage to ask whether or not the figure standing before her is the real Kaien but catches herself, remembering that she killed him with her own hands long ago. Before she can question herself any further, the pseudo-Kaien jumps down from the raised platform he was standing on to give Rukia a comical and warm welcome. After hearing him speak and act like Kaien, she becomes convinced that the person standing before her is, however impossible it may seem, truly Kaien. After finding some stored cushions and sitting down with her, Kaien explains what happened after the night of his death. How his spirit body completely disintegrated after Rukia gave his farewells to his family, how the Hollow who consumed him, Metastacia, was designed to return to Hueco Mundo upon it's destruction, how the two were still merged at the time, and how Kaien managed to gain control of the new spirit body and take the place of the 9th Espada without Aizen's notice. Aaroniero further informs Rukia that the sole reason he drew her into the building was to shield her from the illusionary sky of Las Noches, for everywhere the light touches is monitored by Aizen. Aaroniero beckons Rukia to follow him, for he has a task for her that only she can do. As Rukia makes her way to follow, Aaroniero sharply draws his sword, and attempts to spear Rukia through her left eye. However, Rukia evades the attack in time and manages to put a fair distance between herself and the attacker. As the wound on Rukia left cheek bleeds profusely, Aaroniero calls out her name in two separate voices.
