Liu Ziyun learned that Shinji Hirako, Love Aikawa, Kensei Muguruma, and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi had lost contact during a trial, and suspected that Tsunayashiro Shigure’s faction had arranged a deliberate attack. He devised a politically calculated rescue plan, and Unohana prepared to seek the Captain-Commander’s help.

• Unohana agreed to approach the Captain-Commander and ordered Tazawa Kentarō to take Liu Ziyun to the Trial Grounds entrance to await the rescue team.

Unohana briefed four captains and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto about the disappearance of four commoner teams in the Trial Grounds, suspecting a noble plot aimed at testing the Seireitei’s response. Yamamoto ordered Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake to lead a rescue, leaving them aware that the mission could also challenge the nobles’ growing influence.

• Yamamoto appointed Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake to lead the rescue, and Ukitake suggested their teacher also wanted to rein in the nobles.

Liu Ziyun joined Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake’s rescue operation in the Trial Grounds, where Gillian-class Menos Grande were attacking the missing students. After revealing that his Zanpakuto could heal severe wounds, he helped Shunsui defeat another Menos Grande and continued searching for the remaining squads.

• Unohana asked Shunsui Kyōraku to take Liu Ziyun into the Trial Grounds, and Shunsui warned him to stay close.

Liu Ziyun helped Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake rescue the remaining teams, healing the wounded while conserving his dwindling Reiatsu. Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake recognized that Liu Ziyun was hiding his abilities, and the rescue operation neared its end as he feared his quiet life was over.

• Liu Ziyun healed Kensei Muguruma and four other squad members, then Shunsui Kyōraku took him to search for the other teams while the rest escorted the wounded back.

• Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake suspected Liu Ziyun was hiding his strength and said his healing ability suited frontline work, while Liu Ziyun worried about being watched as the exit drew near.

After the rescue, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake reported Liu Ziyun’s unusual abilities to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who ordered a chance to test him. At the Fourth Division, Unohana confronted Liu Ziyun about how much strength he had revealed, and he insisted she already knew everything.

• Liu Ziyun followed Unohana back to the Fourth Division and nervously tried to ease the tension as she hinted she wanted to study him by cutting him open.
• Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake discussed Liu Ziyun’s feats and questioned whether he was truly an ordinary student.

• Unohana confronted Liu Ziyun about his Shikai, Reiatsu, Kidō, and Shunpo, but he claimed she already knew about them because he had never hidden them from her.

• Unohana challenged Liu Ziyun to explain his stalled Reiatsu, Kidō, Shunpo, and unused Zanpakuto ability, and he made excuses to conceal his strength.
• Kiyōnosuke Yamada announced that a Tsunayashiro branch-family head had arrived to apologize, accompanied by Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake.
• Unohana brought Liu Ziyun to the reception room, where Tsunayashiro Sōichirō presented Tsunayashiro Shigure’s severed head as proof of punishment.
• Unohana asked Liu Ziyun what he thought, but he passed the decision to Kyōraku and Ukitake, who deferred to Unohana.
• Unohana accepted Tsunayashiro Sōichirō’s apology and ended the matter.

Tsunayashiro Sōichirō tried to recruit Liu Ziyun for the Shin'ō Institute of Medicines, provoking Unohana's restrained fury. After Sōichirō left, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake went to report the incident to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, while Liu Ziyun followed Unohana.

• Tsunayashiro Sōichirō invited Liu Ziyun to join the Shin'ō Institute of Medicines, but Liu refused and pledged to serve Unohana after graduation.
• Tsunayashiro Sōichirō then asked Unohana to arrange Liu Ziyun's transfer, and Unohana partially drew her sword before warning that she would report the matter to Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

After discussing the Tsunayashiro Clan’s threat with Unohana, Liu Ziyun secretly trained and learned from Tulu that Tsunayashiro Sōichirō had intended to control or eliminate him. Yamamoto ordered the Tsunayashiro Main Family to bring the branch family head’s head as an apology, while Liu’s resolve to grow stronger stirred his Reiatsu.

• Liu Ziyun and Unohana ate together, and Liu guessed that the Tsunayashiro Clan would exile or confine its branch family head rather than kill him.
• Tsunayashiro Sōichirō and his elders called for Liu Ziyun and Unohana to be punished, unaware that Yamamoto had ordered the main family to bring Sōichirō’s head to Unohana as an apology.
• Liu Ziyun slipped away to the underground training ground, where Tulu attacked him and warned that Sōichirō had been testing him and might have arranged to eliminate him if he refused control.
• Liu Ziyun accepted that his weakness left him vulnerable, and he resumed training as Tulu fought him at full strength.
• Liu Ziyun’s Reiatsu began to rise as something awakened within him, and Unohana watched from the courtyard with a gentle smile.

Liu Ziyun learned that Tulu was upset because he had used Life-Taker’s ability in public, then apologized and sparred with Life-Taker. Tulu interrupted their practice and challenged Liu Ziyun to fight with his Zanpakuto unreleased, ending the chapter with Tulu pressing him with a rapid barrage.

• Life-Taker told Liu Ziyun that Tulu was jealous because Liu Ziyun had revealed her healing ability instead of Tulu’s during the trial.
• Liu Ziyun apologized to Tulu, but Tulu remained cold and rejected his attempt to make amends.
• Life-Taker sparred with Liu Ziyun, matching his pace and guiding him as he practiced.
• Tulu kicked Liu Ziyun aside, took the form of his Asauchi, and demanded that Liu Ziyun fight him without releasing his Zanpakuto.
• Liu Ziyun blocked Tulu’s attack, countered with both swords, and dodged a strike aimed at his face before Tulu attacked again with a rapid barrage.

Tulu pushed Liu Ziyun through an intense fight until Liu lost control and unleashed his full instincts with Life-Taker. Tulu kept his Reiatsu matched to Liu’s, then defeated him with Broken Blade, leaving Liu unconscious but healing.

• Tulu’s relentless attacks forced Liu Ziyun to sharpen his reactions and begin counterattacking, but Liu eventually lost control as his Reiatsu erupted.
• Life-Taker recognized that Liu’s Reiatsu had risen but his mental state was unstable, while Tulu welcomed the release of Liu’s suppressed instincts.
• Tulu and Liu released their Zanpakuto, and Tulu restrained his power to match Liu’s Reiatsu as Liu charged him in a beastlike state.

• Tulu used Broken Blade to blast Liu into a building, where Liu fell unconscious as Heal continued repairing his wounds.

After Tulu defeated Liu Ziyun in the inner world, Life-Taker healed him and the two discussed how he needed to master their powers without losing control. Liu Ziyun returned to Shin'ō Academy to prepare for the Soul Reaper Internship assessment, while Tulu and Life-Taker remained worried and anticipated what their shared master might become.

• Liu Ziyun woke, learned the sparring was over, and tried to stay in the inner world to gain their power through sweet talk, but Life-Taker saw through him and Tulu ordered him to leave.
• Liu Ziyun told them he had to prepare for the Soul Reaper Internship assessment, then withdrew from the inner world.
• After Liu Ziyun left, Life-Taker revealed her concern that he feared the nature of their power, then suddenly cut Tulu in half before he regenerated.
• Tulu and Life-Taker looked toward their shared master with anticipation, worry, and madness as Liu Ziyun returned to Shin'ō Academy and fell asleep.

Liu Ziyun and his friends discussed the danger of noble attacks during the Soul Reaper Internship assessment, and he planned to separate from them to draw attention away. Unohana revealed she would accompany the assessment, but Liu Ziyun learned the Captain-Commander intended to train him for frontline service, threatening his hopes of a quiet life in the Fourth Division.

• Unohana told Liu Ziyun she would accompany the assessment to keep things under control and assured him the nobles could not transfer him away without her approval.

• Liu Ziyun left the captain's office discouraged and prepared to face the internship assessment despite fearing noble attacks and unwanted frontline duty.

Liu Ziyun joined the seven-day Soul Reaper Internship assessment in Karakura Town while Tsunayashiro Tokinada secretly prepared a trap aimed at him. After arriving in the World of the Living, Liu Ziyun wandered through the city and stopped at the edge of a park.

• Liu Ziyun continued his routine at the Fourth Division while Kiyōnosuke Yamada repeatedly warned him to be wary of noble families, and Tazawa Kentarō cautioned him about the lieutenant's closeness to nobles.
• As the assessment approached, Liu Ziyun worried about completing his assignment without drawing attention or attracting noble trouble.
• Shunsui Kyōraku announced that the assessment would last seven days in Karakura Town and require students to perform Konsō on at least three Pluses; Retsu Unohana would provide medical support.
• The students passed through the Senkaimon, formed teams or set off alone, and Liu Ziyun strolled into the city after speaking with Unohana and Shunsui Kyōraku.
• Tsunayashiro Tokinada arrived in Karakura Town and ordered his subordinates to use five barriers to trap the students, declaring that Liu Ziyun was his main target.
• Liu Ziyun explored Karakura Town and reached the outskirts of a park, where he suddenly stopped.

Liu Ziyun avoided Tsunayashiro Tokinada’s traps during the field assessment by staying cautious and calling for help when Soul Reapers staged an accident. After slipping away, he settled at a café and planned to strike back.

• Liu Ziyun suspected the conspicuous Plus in the park was bait and left, while two disguised Soul Reapers waited there all night.
• Liu Ziyun spent the next day wandering through Karakura Town, and Tsunayashiro Tokinada ordered his subordinates to watch him and lure him toward a barrier.

• The Soul Reapers in ambush fled, and Liu Ziyun slipped away through the crowd as trainees debated whether to investigate.
• Tsunayashiro Tokinada watched the incident and became determined to see Liu Ziyun’s next move, while Liu Ziyun relaxed at a café and planned to strike back.

Shinji Hirako and the others decided not to rush to Liu Ziyun after Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi revealed Liu had stopped a Menos Grande’s Cero with an unincanted Enkōsen. At the car accident, Liu showed Unohana and Shunsui Kyōraku evidence that Soul Reapers had caused it, then invited them to investigate a suspicious place he had found.

• Kensei Muguruma urged the others to help Liu, but Shinji Hirako argued that they could not reach him quickly and might draw the nobles’ attention.

• Liu Ziyun arrived at the park with Shunsui Kyōraku and Unohana as a Plus transformed into a Hollow, which Shunsui Kyōraku swiftly destroyed.

• Tsunayashiro Tokinada watched Liu Ziyun from a rooftop and decided to continue his scheme.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada ordered his subordinates to keep watching Liu Ziyun and kill him when they had an opportunity, while Liu continued his assessment in Karakura Town.

• Tsunayashiro Tokinada learned that his plots against Liu Ziyun had failed and ordered his subordinates to kill Liu when the captains were gone.
• At a Karakura Town cemetery, Liu Ziyun found that a Soul Reaper had already performed Konsō on all the Pluses there.

• Liu concluded that the nobles might stop targeting him after his assessment, and the captains reassured him that Captain-Commander Yamamoto would protect him.
• Unohana reminded Liu that he had not completed a single Konsō, so he hurried off to continue his assessment.

Liu Ziyun completed the Soul Reaper Internship assessment and joined the Fourth Division, then kept a low profile to avoid trouble. Months later, Unohana told him that Captain-Commander Yamamoto wanted to see him.

• Liu Ziyun found and performed Konsō on two Pluses in an abandoned factory, then purified more Pluses and Hollows before the assessment ended.
• Shunsui Kyōraku announced that all trainees had met the requirement, and Liu Ziyun returned to the Fourth Division with Unohana.

• Tsunayashiro Tokinada continued tracking Liu Ziyun, but several captains' attention kept him from acting against him.
• Unohana told Liu Ziyun that Captain-Commander Yamamoto wanted to see him, and he followed her to meet him.

Unohana brought Liu Ziyun to the First Division, where Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto tested him by releasing his Reiatsu and then challenged him to fight using Hakuda. The chapter ended as Yamamoto kicked at Liu Ziyun’s front foot.

Liu Ziyun worried that the Captain-Commander might send him to the dangerous Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, so he planned to pretend to be blind to avoid it. Over dinner, he tried to persuade Unohana to protect him and claimed his eyesight was failing, leaving her puzzled.

• Liu Ziyun feared the Captain-Commander intended to send him to Hueco Mundo and considered injuring his eyes so he could pose as blind.
• Liu Ziyun returned to Unohana and told her the Captain-Commander had tested his Hakuda and Zanjutsu but had given no explanation.
• Liu Ziyun invited Unohana to dinner and drinks, then asked whether the Fourth Division might join an expedition to Hueco Mundo.
• Liu Ziyun said he feared the expedition and worried that nobles and Central 46 would target him if he drew attention to himself.
• Liu Ziyun asked Unohana to keep him from being transferred and claimed his eyes had been failing, so he would soon be blind.

Liu Ziyun staged his own blinding to avoid joining the expeditionary force and secured permission to remain in the Fourth Division as a blind doctor. While he celebrated his plan, Tsunayashiro Tokinada saw Liu Ziyun’s blindness as a chance to control him and obtain his ability.

• Liu Ziyun told Unohana he planned to go blind and lie low in the Fourth Division, then pretended to pass out drunk.
