The messenger says yes, however this order carries the combined authority of Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Hitsugaya. Nanao's surprised because is a first class order. Kyōraku is impress that Chad was able to come to Soul Society and to fight to this extend, he also comments that the last hit looked pretty terrifying, it would've been nasty if he got hit. Suddenly Nanao rushes to him and tells him the message: Captain Aizen has passed away. The cause of death is severe heart injury and removal of Hakusui with a Zanpakutō, so it's definitely a homicide, and there's no suspect yet. Since it's a combined authority of Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Hitsugaya, there's no doubt to the report. Kyōraku is shocked and says they should go give him a visit. But Nanao realizes that Chad is still alive, so she's about to finish him off when Kyōraku stops her and saying it's not lady-like to do so. Nanao says it might be Chad's friends that murder Aizen, while Kyōraku respond that that may be not true, so they need to keep him alive. He orders Nanao to call the paramedics and put him n the detention area. Nanao apologizes for her action and says she will do it right away. Kyōraku comments that things seem to start getting out of hand.
Meanwhile, Ichigo was fighting Kenpachi. But it's more like he's trying to run away. Ichigo tells himself to calm down but he can't stop shaking. He wonders why can't he hurt Kenpachi, is the difference in their strength that great? Then Kenpachi suddenly breaks the wall and attacks Ichigo, telling him to stop running around because he doesn't like playing hide-and-seek with weaklings. Ichigo tries to calm himself, thinking of Zangetsu's words about throwing away his fear and look ahead. Then he can beat Kenpachi.

Tōsen asks if Aizen is really dead and Unohana replies that he is. Saying that he wasn't breathing by the time they took him down from the wall. She goes onto say that they had investigated the possibility of a puppet corpse but that the results were negative. She then comments that this means that when the current trouble is behind them, the leadership of the 5th Division will be decided at a captains meeting within Room 46. Unohana then asks them to return to their companies, saying that she will soon be joining them in the field.
Outside the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho Tōsen and Komamura are met by their respective Vice-captains Hisagi and Iba. Hisagi asks Tōsen if Aizen is indeed dead. Tōsen confirms that Aizen is dead and goes onto say that resolving the current problem is the quickest path to the truth. Hisagi wonders if that means Tōsen is going to join the battle. Tōsen says that while it is best of avoid such things, there appears to be no alternative this time.

Elsewhere, Ichigo and Kenpachi continue their battles with Ichigo firmly on the back-foot. However, Zaraki compliments Ichigo on his excellent reflexes and praises him for being able to hear his bells. Kenpachi states that the had put on the bells and the eye-patch to give his opponents an advantage and that they are wasted if Ichigo does not exploit them. Ichigo asks if Zaraki is mocking him and if that is why Zaraki has not called to his Zanpakutō. Ichigo tries to taunt Zaraki by pointing out that Ichigo's own Zanpakutō can cut Kenpachi now. However, Kenpachi replies that his Zanpakutō has no name and never had a seal on it. He explains that the blade Ichigo sees before him is Kenpachi's Zanpakutō. Ichigo replies that he is happy because that means Kenpachi's Zanpakutō won't get any stronger. The next moment Kenpachi points his blade at Ichigo, who blocks it with Zangetsu but Kenpachi pushes it through Zangetsu and into Ichigo. Explaining that that doesn't mean anything as Zaraki hasn't sealed in Zanpakutō because his spiritual pressure is so great that he can't seal it. He then berates Ichigo for relaxing and thus making it easy for Zaraki to stab him, calling him a fool for relaxing because he thought he could win. As Ichigo falls to his knees, Zaraki declares his disappointment.

Cover of 110. Dark Side of Universe
On the ground Ichigo things that he doesn't want to die, that he can't die yet. He tells himself to get up and stop the bleeding as he watches Zaraki walk away. He begs to be given the chance to fight again, that he has to save Rukia. As Zaraki swings his Zanpakutō onto his shoulder and walks away, Zangetsu appears and approaches Ichigo. Zangetsu asks Ichigo if he wants to continue fighting, if he wants to win or whether he wants to live. Zangetsu demands to know which of those things Ichigo wants. Ichigo says he wants to win. Zangetsu says that he can't hear Ichigo. Ichigo then reiterates that he wants to win because fighting for its own sake is meaningless, survival in itself is meaningless and that he wants to win. Zangetsu replies that in that case he will take Ichigo there.
Ichigo and Zangetsu suddenly vanish and Ichigo finds himself in his inner world. Thinking he was going to fall as he is standing on the side of a building, Ichigo lies down and grips the building. Zangetsu demands to know what Ichigo is doing. Ichigo replies that he doesn't want to fall again. Zangetsu explains that there is no chance of that happening and that it had happened last time because his inner world was beginning to be lost as Ichigo started to become a hollow. However, even after that fierce fight, Ichigo's inner world is stable. The mortified Ichigo wonders if that means that the up-down, left-right thing is normal but Zangetsu ignores him and presses on, telling him that it would appear he had gotten a little stronger and tells him to stand-up.
When Ichigo does, Zangetsu tosses him an Asauchi, explaining that it is a nameless Zanpakutō that is carried by low ranking Shinigami. Ichigo points out that his Zanpakutō has a name: Zangetsu. Zangetsu then brings out his sword form and tells Ichigo if that is the Zanpakutō Ichigo is referring to, the one his enemy broke. Zangetsu says that he can't give it to Ichigo and throws it off the building. Ichigo goes after it when suddenly someone shoots past him and grabs the Zanpakutō. The new being turns out to be a doppelgänger of Ichigo except he is all white, with a white Shihakushō. Zangetsu explains that he wants to see if Ichigo is worthy of possessing him and that if Ichigo wants to get him back, Ichigo has to take him back and this time, Ichigo's enemy is himself.

Summary :
Cover of 111. Black & White
White Ichigo continues to fight and taunt Ichigo. Asking him if he can become friends with someone just by asking his name. Going on to explain that, that is essentially what Ichigo has done. He learnt Zangetsu's name but that's about it. He did not open up his heart to Zangetsu and as a result he has not gotten stronger. Ichigo realises that the other Ichigo is correct and that he has been using Zangetsu as a tool when Zanpakutō are alive, with names and feelings. He comments that he is no different from Kenpachi Zaraki and begs Zangetsu to give him another chance. White Ichigo attacks again but this time when Ichigo blocks he notices that it is he, who is holding Zangetsu that the other Ichigo is holding the Asauchi. Ichigo wonders if that means Zangetsu is giving him another chance. Ichigo thanks Zangetsu.
Back outside, Ichigo's body explodes with power, causing Zaraki to stop and turn back in shock to find a bloody but very much alive Ichigo standing back on his feet.

Summary :
Cover of 112. The Undead 2 [Rise&Craze]
The Ichigo doppelgänger asks Zangetsu if that's all. Zangetsu says yes and apologizes for bothering him. The doppelgänger says is fine since Ichigo is the owner of this world, it will be problematic if he doesn't win. So however unwillingly, he had to help. Then he tells Zangetsu to send him back since his job is done. Zangetsu absorbs him back. He then comments that Ichigo is strong, Zangetsu should trains him well, since that power is going to become his one day. Zangetsu then looks up to the sky, thinking that he hates rain, and it rains here too. When Ichigo is moody, it becomes cloudy. When Ichigo is sad, the rain starts to fall. Zangetsu can't stand it. He asks if Ichigo understand how horrible is it to get rained on when you're all alone in an empty world. To prevent that from happening, he will lend Ichigo any power he needs. If Ichigo can trust him, he won't let one drop of rain fall from that sky. Zangetsu tells Ichigo to trust him and he is not alone in battle. Kenpachi turns back, wonders why Ichigo's fading reiatsu suddenly burst out in a tremendous amount. Both Kenpachi and Yachiru look at Ichigo surprisingly. Kenpachi realizes that the bleeding on Ichigo's wound is slowly stopping. Then suddenly, Ichigo rushes at Kenpachi, landing a hit to his shoulder. Kenpachi uses his sword to stop Ichigo but he can't push him back. Then Ichigo pushes Kenpachi away, making him has to plug his sword on the wall to stop. Then Ichigo says he has no time to waste and he will finish this in one strike. Kenpachi says that's not good since it's just starting to get interesting. They should drag this out as long as they can. Then Kenpachi rushes at Ichigo. Ichigo manages to cut Kenpachi in the face but Kenpachi also cut Ichigo too. Ichigo jumps back, Kenpachi laughs and rushes at him again. Then he says he doesn't get how Ichigo revive himself, how did Ichigo become so strong, he doesn't get it at all. But that doesn't matter, right not they should just enjoy the moment. Ichigo is thinking that in both number of successful attacks and reiatsu, he's above Kenpachi, yet no matter how many times he cut him, he won't fall. Ichigo tells Kenpachi that he's ridiculously crazy, why does he like fighting that much, does he afraid of dying? Kenpachi laughs, telling Ichigo that he's the crazy one, since he's so strong, why doesn't he like fighting. Kenpachi tells Ichigo to enjoy it, enjoy the carnage, enjoy the pain, they are just a small price to pay for the enjoyment of battle.
Meanwhile, Ikkaku is thinking about something when Yumichika comes and asks him what's he thinking. Yumichika's hair is all blown up because he got hit by a firecracker during his fight with Ganju. Ikkaku laughs and teases him, making Yumichika decides to wear a wig. Ikkaku then says that he was thinking that the captain seems to be enjoying himself. Yumichika states that the opponent is surprisingly strong, who is he. Ikkaku answers it's Ichigo, he's like a total different person from when Ikkaku fought him. Yumichika says that the captain seems to be on the losing side and Ikkaku agrees. Yumichika suggests it's bad, because even if it's the captain, he may die, but Ikkaku calls him a fool, saying that he's the strongest captain of the Gotei 13, Zaraki Kenpachi, that's why they follow him, he'll never lose. Plus, captain still hasn't use his trump card yet.
Kenpachi is excited over the fight with Ichigo, since he thinks it's an equal match up, or only by a little, but Ichigo is definitely stronger. Ichigo is wondering why can Kenpachi be so confident. Kenpachi says that it's been long since he last had this noble feeling. He takes off his eye patch and tells Ichigo that he's a worthy opponent, so he'll go full out on him.

Summary :
Cover of 113. The Undead 3 [Closing Frantica]
A messenger comes to Yachiru and tells her he has an emergency order. She tells him to tell her later, which he apologizes and says it's a first class order. But Yachiru still tells him to tell her later. The messenger then says that he has a direct order to fulfill and it's to deliver the message to all Captains and Vice-captains in the shortest time possible. Yachiru tells him that he's noisy and she forms a large angry cat with her reiatsu which scares him away, saying that Kenpachi is fighting, so don't bug her.
At the mean time, Kenpachi just takes off his eye patch and suddenly his reiatsu is vastly increasing. Ichigo is much shocked at the fact. Then the asks Kenpachi what's the secret of his right eye. Kenpachi says that he wouldn't do such stupid thing. Then he explains to Ichigo that the eye patch is a creation of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, a infinitely reiatsu-sucking monster. Kenpachi says that with the reiatsu that would otherwise be absorbed by the eye patch, he would use it all to kill Ichigo, it's as simple as that. Zangetsu calls out for Ichigo, asks him if he hears Kenpachi's blade mourning. Ichigo answer that he can. Zangetsu says that Kenpachi has never listened to that voice. If they do not trust each other when fighting side by side, they will diminish each other's strength. For someone who only believes in his own strength, it's impossible to understand that. Zangetsu then asks Ichigo if he trusts him. Ichigo says yes, and he'll give Zangetsu all of his power. He can uses it however he likes, and then lends Ichigo his power too. Zangetsu says yes and hold on to the blade. Then Ichigo reiatsu suddenly increases. Kenpachi finds it interesting that Ichigo can still increases his reiatsu. Ichigo respond that it's because he's borrowing Zangetsu's power and fighting along side with Zangetsu. He says that he'll never loses to someone who only fights by himself. Kenpachi says it's all rubbish. He says that Zanpakutō are only tools of war. "Fighting side by side with a Zanpakutō" is just the whining words of those who are too spineless to fight by themselves. It's not something someone like him and Ichigo should say. Then Kenpachi forms a skull-shape reiatsu and prepares to attack. Zangetsu says his ability to stop Ichigo's bleeding is at its limit, he has to take Kenpachi down in one blow. Then Ichigo also prepares to attack. They rushes at each other and makes a huge clash that makes all the surround buildings collapse. Ichigo gets stabbed in the stomach and Kenpachi gets cut in the shoulder. Ichigo collapses, apologizing to his friends. Kenpachi asks what Ichigo is apologizing for. Kenpachi's sword breaks, and he says that Ichigo wins. Then he falls.

Kenpachi says that he does too, then he raises his sword, telling it that he has forgotten the pain of not having a name. Everyone have a name that others use to call them but he didn't, that pain is why that day he named her Yachiru, the name of the only person he ever admired, while he took the name Kenpachi, the name of the strongest Shinigami. Then he apologizes to his sword for making it waits so long, then he asks what its name is, but there's no respond. Kenpachi says that it didn't work after all, and he wants to be stronger.

From district 80 of the North Alley of Loitering Spirits, Zaraki, even deeper in the darkness, he demolished the chaotic world that was dyed with blood and gave her a name. If it wasn't for him, Yachiru wouldn't have been here today. Yachiru tells Kenpachi that they will get stronger together and she knows that Kenpachi is the best. Because since that day, he has been everything to her in this world. But there's no reply from Kenpachi. Yachiru calls for him but he's not awake anymore.
