• Schubert activated his Vollständig, Army of God, and created Reishi copies of nearby fighters, including Haruto and Seirin Tsunayashiro.
• Haruto asked Sōken to stop Schubert’s copies and said he could help, then extended his palm toward Schubert to absorb Reishi.

Haruto and Sōken Ishida defeated Schubert after Haruto absorbed the Reishi powering his Army of God, then arranged help for the injured Isumi Ishida and others. Byakuya and Isane arrived to assist, and Isane began treating the wounded as Haruto supported her with Reiatsu.

• Haruto and Sōken Ishida killed Schubert after Haruto caught him trying to flee, and Yhwach absorbed the Quincy’s power and soul.
• Haruto urged Sōken Ishida to let Soul Society help Isumi Ishida, whose condition was worsening from Hollow contamination.
• Haruto sent Byakuya a message about the Tsunayashiro incident, and Byakuya arrived with Isane from the Fourth Division.
• Isane began treating Hiyori, Kanmuri Yasu, and Isumi inside Haruto’s Tōzanshō barriers while Haruto transferred Reiatsu to support her.

Haruto and Byakuya discussed Haruto’s strength and the Quincy attack, while Byakuya agreed to let Haruto manage affairs in the World of the Living. Haruto secured the lieutenants’ silence and removed Hollow poison from Isumi Ishida, leaving Sōken stunned by how quickly he healed her.

• Haruto examined Isumi Ishida and used Sklaverei to absorb the Hollow-tainted Reishi from her body.
• Sōken examined his wife and confirmed Haruto had cured her, marveling at how quickly he had acted.

After Sōken Ishida privately examined Haruto, he discovered that Haruto’s Blut Vene was continuing to spread instead of fading. Sōken concluded that Haruto had likely been a Quincy who underwent Auswählen before becoming a Soul Reaper.

• Byakuya explained that Haruto had fused with a Vasto Lorde’s Reiatsu, and Sōken Ishida asked to speak with Haruto privately.
• Haruto left Byakuya to manage the situation, invited Lily out of the classroom, and followed Sōken to the stairwell.
• Sōken pointed out pale cyan lines spreading across Haruto’s forearm, which Haruto recognized as Blut Vene.

• Sōken revealed that he had suspected Haruto’s Quincy nature while researching the Lichtreich, and became certain after confirming Haruto had a Hollow inside him.
• Sōken told Haruto that he was most likely a Quincy who underwent Auswählen before becoming a Soul Reaper.

• Uryū Ishida revealed that he and his allies destroyed Yhwach’s Great Spirit Book Library and recovered records of the only Quincy to survive Auswählen.
• Sōken Ishida recounted how the Monk Who Calls the Real Name sealed Yhwach’s power with the Soul King’s Left Arm and half of Baraggan’s Reiatsu.
• Sōken explained that Baraggan’s Reiatsu interfered with Auswählen, allowing a stripped Quincy’s soul to survive and fall into Soul Society instead of returning to Yhwach.
• Haruto learned that the Quincy had Schrift “O” and Quincy: Letzt Stil “The Ocean.”
• Sōken identified the Quincy as Yuguran Seisen, and Haruto recognized the source of Seisen’s water-like ability.

Haruto learned that his Zanpakuto’s source was the soul of the Quincy knight Yuguran Seisen, who was related to Haschwalth, and accepted Sōken Ishida’s help in removing the silver grain in his heart. He traded one favor for a vast collection of Quincy teachings, leaving him with new techniques to study.

• Haruto realized his Zanpakuto’s soul came from the Quincy Yuguran Seisen and learned she was a female knight related to Haschwalth.
• Haruto acknowledged that he possessed Soul Reaper, Hollow, Fullbring, and Quincy powers and asked Sōken Ishida how he could help oppose Yhwach.
• Sōken Ishida explained that a highly concentrated silver grain in Haruto’s heart could be key to defeating Yhwach, and Haruto agreed to let him remove it.
• Haruto asked Sōken Ishida to repay one favor by teaching him Quincy abilities.
• Sōken Ishida transformed the gathered records into books and gave Haruto a large collection of Quincy secret teachings.

Haruto asked Sōken Ishida to teach him Quincy techniques, but learned he had to master basic Heilig Pfeil before advanced abilities such as Sankt Bogen and Sanctuary Praise. He removed the silver grain from his heart and returned to Byakuya having reached Fourth-Class Spiritual Pressure.

• Haruto asked Sōken Ishida whether he could learn Sankt Bogen and Blut Vene Anhaben, but Sōken Ishida said those abilities were unavailable to him or required learning the basics first.

• Haruto used Blut to locate and remove the silver grain himself, then returned to Byakuya and revealed that he had reached Fourth-Class Spiritual Pressure.

Haruto concluded his three-day mission in the World of the Living, gave Sōken Ishida the Still Silver, and returned to Soul Society with his companions. A month later, Lily prepared to leave after her vacation, while Haruto’s Quincy Cross and emerging Fullbring had formed a new materialized Asauchi.

• Haruto learned that his Rei'i Grade had reached fourth class and discussed the Twelfth Division’s arrival with Hiyori and Byakuya.
• Haruto gave Sōken Ishida a Denreishinki, received an Ishida Quincy Cross, and let Sōken and Isumi leave with the Still Silver.
• Hiyori and Kanmuri Yasu agreed to keep their accounts consistent, and Lily decided to join the group returning to Soul Society.
• Haruto’s Quincy Cross briefly formed a Spirit Bow and merged with his developing Fullbring, creating a brand-new materialized Asauchi.
• A month later, Lily prepared to return to the World of the Living, joked with Haruto, and said goodbye to Isane.

After Lily left through the Kuchiki Clan's Senkaimon, Haruto spoke with Byakuya about Seirin Tsunayashiro's abilities and possible Shiba ancestry. Byakuya then asked whether Haruto could restore the Reishi of fallen Captain-level fighters, and Haruto began explaining why he could not.

• Lily said goodbye to Isane and Ayaka, then left for Reverse London through the Senkaimon.
• Ayaka and Isane arranged to return to their divisions before Haruto and Byakuya were left alone.
• Haruto told Byakuya that Seirin Tsunayashiro would be vulnerable to his skills and Senbonzakura, though Byakuya still needed to improve his Kidō to face Kōga Kuchiki.
• Byakuya argued that Seirin's use of Getsuga Tenshō suggested she had Shiba blood, and Haruto agreed she was likely an illegitimate child of both the Tsunayashiro and Shiba Clans.
• Byakuya asked whether Haruto could convert the Reishi of dead Captain-level fighters back from Vollständig's copied Reiatsu, and Haruto said the copied Reii was not genuine Captain-level power.

Haruto left the Kuchiki Clan after discussing his plans to rest with Byakuya, but a Thirteenth Division squad member summoned him to deal with the 11th Division’s challenge. At the Thirteenth Division training ground, Sentarō Kotsubaki faced the newly promoted Third Seat Genya Sakurai, who aimed to secure his standing with a decisive victory.

• Haruto and Byakuya discussed the Kuchiki Clan’s pressure on the Tsunayashiro Clan and agreed that Haruto would take time to rest.
• A flustered squad member told Haruto that the 11th Division had come to the Thirteenth Division barracks, and Haruto went to investigate.
• At the training ground, Genya Sakurai taunted Sentarō Kotsubaki and challenged him in a purportedly friendly spar between divisions.
• Sentarō released his Zanpakuto, Pure Water without fragrance, and continued fighting despite knowing Genya was stronger.
• Genya claimed to know about flowing-water Zanpakuto and drove his sword into the ground as he prepared to secure a one-sided win.

Haruto stopped Genya Sakurai from attacking Sentarō Kotsubaki, then easily shattered Genya’s Zanpakuto when he challenged him. After dispersing the gathered Soul Reapers, Haruto encountered Ayaka and Isane disguised in Thirteenth Division uniforms.

• Genya Sakurai attacked Sentarō Kotsubaki with his Shikai, Vortex, but Haruto stepped in and blocked the strike.

Haruto, Ayaka, and Isane spent the afternoon eating sweets and discussing their friends’ training before deciding to visit a hot spring inn and order Lily’s London food as takeout. When they arrived, they learned the inn had been reserved in its entirety.

• Haruto shared morning tea and desserts with Ayaka and Isane at the Ōmae Kagura Dessert Shop while Nanao, Kiyone, and Ayaka trained.
• Isane suggested visiting the London restaurant where Lily worked, but Ayaka proposed ordering takeout and going to a hot spring inn instead.
• Haruto ordered takeout by Hell Butterfly, and the three set off for the Seireitei’s most famous hot spring inn.
• Ayaka discovered that someone had reserved the entire inn.

Haruto and his companions arrived at a hot spring inn reserved by the Soul Reaper Women's Association, where Yoruichi Shihōin allowed them to use the men's bath. Haruto accidentally encountered Soi Fon bathing, and the chapter ended with him stopping her attack and covering her with a towel.

• The innkeeper told Haruto that the Soul Reaper Women's Association had reserved the hot springs for women, so he prepared to leave.
• Kuchiki Hine, Lisa Yadōmaru, and Mashiro Kuna recognized Haruto and invited him to join them.
• Yoruichi Shihōin appeared and let Haruto and his companions use the inn, including the men's bath.
• Haruto entered the men's bath and found Soi Fon naked in the washing area.
• Soi Fon attacked Haruto, but he blocked her strikes, used Sai to restrain her Reiatsu, and fetched a towel to cover her.

After Soi Fon left the bathhouse, Haruto sealed its entrance and later joined a table tennis tournament after learning it offered a Heavenly Bestowed Armament as the top prize. The contest left Ayaka and Isane sore, while Haruto finished in the top three but lost to Mashiro Kuna and ended the evening massaging Isane.

• Soi Fon hurried out of the bathhouse, and Haruto used Dankū to seal its entrance before relaxing in the bath.
• Mashiro Kuna invited Haruto to a table tennis tournament with a Heavenly Bestowed Armament as the prize, and Haruto agreed.
• Ayaka and Isane joined the tournament after Ayaka learned participants would receive valuable spiritual devices.
• The tournament became a chaotic contest where the rules and improvised paddles mattered more than Hakuda, Shunpo, or ordinary table tennis skills.
• Haruto reached the top three but lost to Mashiro Kuna, while Ayaka and Isane ended the night sore and Haruto began massaging Isane.

After receiving an emergency order to investigate powerful Reiatsu fluctuations in the World of the Living, Haruto headed through the Senkaimon to join Ayaka and the others. In the Dangai, he encountered the Kōtotsu and raced to escape it before reaching the passage’s end.

• Haruto and Ayaka received Hell Butterfly messages ordering Soul Reapers on leave to return to their divisions for an emergency briefing.
• Kirio Hikifune announced that Captain-level Reiatsu had appeared in the World of the Living and that the Tenth Division lieutenant sent there had gone missing.
• The Central 46 Chambers ordered the summoned Soul Reapers to investigate in groups, avoid direct combat, and prioritize preserving their forces.
• Haruto concluded the mission was dangerous and hurried toward the Senkaimon to meet up with Ayaka and protect his companions.
• Haruto sensed an unusual presence in the Dangai, then spotted the Kōtotsu and used Shunpo combined with Hirenkyaku techniques to escape it.
• Haruto reached the end of the Dangai passage.

Haruto blasted through the Dangai’s blocked exit and rescued Lisa Yadōmaru and the Eighth Division, then reunited with Ayaka in the World of the Living. He returned to Naruki City for his own assignment and detected an unusually large number of Hollows, while the reported Captain-level Reiatsu remained hidden.

• Haruto used Senju Kōten Taihō to open a passage through the Kōryū after finding the Dangai exit blocked.
• Lisa Yadōmaru and the Eighth Division were trapped in the Dangai, and Lisa’s attack could not keep the passage open.
• Haruto broke through the Kōryū and led Lisa and her squad past the approaching Kōtotsu and out into Ishikari City.
• Ayaka punched Haruto in the kidney and asked whether he had come looking for her; he said he had.
• Haruto returned to Naruki City, used Kakushitsuijaku to search the area, and found more than a hundred Hollows gathered across eight locations.
• Haruto searched for the Captain-level Reiatsu mentioned in the report but could not locate it.

Haruto used massive Hadō attacks to clear out the Hollows, but discovered that a Captain-level presence had concealed itself among them. After saving Agata Asuna from an attack, he faced an unidentified Soul Reaper with no Zanpakuto and suspected he was a sealed criminal.

• Haruto unleashed two high-level Hadō spells, striking the city with more than a hundred bolts of lightning, but found no trace of the surviving Hollow he expected.
• Haruto reached Maple Drop Park and saw Agata Asuna comforting children whose spirits soon disappeared after their attachments were severed.

• A Soul Reaper attacked from above, and Haruto used Shunpo to carry Agata to safety before drawing Seisen.
• Haruto recognized that his opponent had disguised his Reiatsu as a Hollow’s and noted that the muscular Soul Reaper had no Zanpakuto.

Haruto confronted Baishin, a former captain who had slaughtered his division and killed two captains before being sealed. Their fight began with Haruto using layered Kidō defenses and counterattacks, but Baishin survived and charged him again with his Zanpakuto ability still unclear.

• Haruto recognized Baishin from the records and protected Agata behind three Tōzanshō barriers.
• Baishin revealed that he had killed two captains and insisted on fighting Haruto without giving a reason.
• Haruto attacked with Dimensional Slash Flower Wheel, blocked Baishin's surprise strike with Eight-Direction Dankū, and countered with Kyōmon and Senju Kōten Taihō.
• Baishin emerged from the fireball and unleashed a dense barrage of sharp, hiltless swords.
• Haruto scattered the swords with Shō, but Baishin used Shunpo to charge into close combat again.

Haruto fought Baishin, matching his extraordinary physical toughness while struggling against Baishin’s greater combat experience and hidden weapons. As Baishin prepared to unleash Bankai, an unfamiliar fighter stopped him, while another attacker targeted Agata and revealed that the newcomers could conceal their Reiatsu.

• Haruto and Baishin exchanged powerful blows after Haruto’s Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō failed to stop Baishin’s charge.
• Haruto used Shōtenkyū and a miniature Dankū to counter Baishin’s attacks, but Baishin launched razor-sharp needles from his mouth and injured him slightly.
• Baishin recognized Haruto as a Soul Reaper from the Thirteenth Division and prepared to use Bankai.
• A stranger wearing a dark green Shihakushō and ancient protective gear interrupted Baishin and warned that it was not yet time for him to unleash his full power.
• A second similarly dressed stranger attacked Agata with whips of water, but Haruto’s layered Tōzanshō protected her and exposed the failed attempt to take a hostage.

Haruto and Lisa Yadōmaru compared reports of coordinated attacks and lost contact with most of the Soul Reaper divisions in the World of the Living. Suspecting the enemy was drawing the divisions together as a trap, Haruto proposed staying alone in Naruki City while the others rendezvoused.

• Baishin and two green-clad Soul Reapers withdrew from Haruto using a spatial ability.
• Ayaka contacted Haruto through a Hell Butterfly, and Lisa Yadōmaru reported that only the Second and Ninth Divisions had answered her calls besides Haruto.
• Haruto told Lisa he had encountered Baishin and two Vice-Captain-level fighters in strange Shihakushō.
• Lisa revealed that the Eighth Division had fought five unfamiliar Vice-Captain-level Fullbringers, who withdrew partway through the battle.
• Haruto warned Lisa that the enemy might be luring the divisions together and offered to remain alone in Naruki City while the others rendezvoused.
