Chapter Summaries

After humanity celebrated its victory over the Council Nation, Allen began transferring control of the Hunter Association to the Hunter Group as he prepared to leave the world. Meanwhile, Sakura and Vilnalasath revived the Coffin Dragon King’s strength by unleashing it on an Orc city, where it massacred the inhabitants.

• Three months after the war, the Allied Forces finished sweeping the Council Nation and returned with enormous spoils, while the demi-human population there was wiped out.

Ainz fought the Coffin Dragon King after Soul Annihilation Breath wiped out Nazarick’s guardians, while Allen and his companions watched and gathered information. Allen extracted the dragon’s soul and cornered the exhausted Ainz, demanding two World Items and leaving him thirty seconds to decide whether to surrender them.

• Ainz used Dark Harvest Sacrifice to kill the Coffin Dragon King’s zombie armor, then summoned Black Goat Young and trapped the dragon with spells while attacking from the air.

After humanity’s expansion led to civil war, Allen and Artoria left the previous world and arrived in Karakura Town, where Allen planned to enter the Soul Society to study soul combat. He left Sakura in the Human World to seek out Ryuken Ishida while Artoria took his body to Azerath for safekeeping.

• The Hunter Association’s influence and new technology helped human nations conquer much of the continent, but the Bloody Emperor’s death triggered a civil war in the Bahamut Empire.
• Allen told Artoria that human conflicts were inevitable and opened a Dark Gate, through which he, Artoria, and Sakura departed as Jacob pledged to continue serving the Hunter Association.

After arriving in Zaraki District, Allen’s overwhelming hunger drove him to unleash enough Reiatsu to attract the Gotei 13. Toshiro Hitsugaya offered him a recommendation to Shino Academy, and the chapter ended with Allen learning the academy provided unlimited meals.

• Allen threatened a gang for food and water, then devoured enough to feed hundreds before Rangiku Matsumoto arrived to investigate his Reiatsu.
• Rangiku Matsumoto brought Allen toward the 10th Division, but Kenpachi Zaraki challenged him and postponed their fight until Allen became a Death.
• At the 10th Division headquarters, Allen released his Reiatsu at Toshiro Hitsugaya’s request, accidentally knocking Rangiku Matsumoto into the courtyard.
• Toshiro Hitsugaya judged Allen’s Reiatsu to be beyond vice-captain level and offered to recommend him to Shino Academy.
• Allen accepted and asked whether the academy provided meals, prompting Rangiku Matsumoto and Toshiro Hitsugaya to laugh as Toshiro assured him he could eat as much as he wanted.

Allen drew the attention of the Soul Society’s captains with his immense Spiritual Power and unusual appetite, then faced a personal invitation from Sosuke Aizen to study advanced Kidō. When Aizen demonstrated Bakudō #81—Dankū, Allen cast it without an incantation, surprising everyone and drawing an unsettling look from Aizen.

• Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto inspected Shino Academy and learned from Toshiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto that Allen was a recently deceased soul with unusual Spiritual Power.
• Mayuri Kurotsuchi suggested sending Allen to the Research and Development Bureau after graduation, but Sosuke Aizen intervened and Yamamoto said Allen could choose his division after graduating.

• Sosuke Aizen replaced the Kidō instructor and invited Allen to receive special training after hearing of his talent.
• Aizen demonstrated Bakudō #81—Dankū, and Allen immediately cast an almost identical barrier without an incantation, prompting Aizen to watch him with unusual interest.

Allen faced his Shino Academy graduation assessment in Hueco Mundo, where Kenpachi Zaraki sent him against dozens of Gillians and an Adjuchas-class Hollow. Allen quickly killed more than thirty Gillians, but his attacks failed to pierce the Adjuchas’s shell, leaving their fight unresolved.

• During an earlier Kidō demonstration, Allen explained how he controlled Reishi without incantations and refused Aizen’s invitation to join the 5th Division.

• Kenpachi revealed that an Adjuchas-class Hollow was the real examiner, alarming Toshiro Hitsugaya.
• Allen’s Kidō and Zanpakuto attacks failed to overcome the Adjuchas’s regeneration and armored shell, and the battle continued.

Allen awakened his Zanpakuto, Death, and killed an Adjuchas, drawing alarm from the Soul Society. Aizen abducted him with a Negacion and recruited him, but as Aizen released Kyoka Suigetsu to control him, Allen revealed he had already activated the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

• Allen released Shikai and transformed his Asauchi into Death, a Zanpakuto that absorbed souls and inflicted absolute death.
• Allen killed the Adjuchas with a single slash, and the Soul Society’s observers feared his weapon’s power.

• Allen accepted the offer, explained part of Death’s ability, and shook hands with Gin Ichimaru.
• Aizen released Kyoka Suigetsu as a safeguard, unaware that Allen’s eyes had become the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Allen revealed that he had resisted Aizen’s Kyoka Suigetsu and accepted Aizen’s request to retrieve Rukia Kuchiki, who carried the Hogyoku. In Karakura Town, Allen reunited with Sakura, learned that her new Fullbring had awakened through the Hogyoku, and chose to return to Azerath with her and Artoria before watching Ichigo Kurosaki fight a Hollow.

• Allen explained to Aizen that Kyoka Suigetsu manipulated people’s senses, while his Spirit Eyes had made him immune to its Shikai.
• Aizen told Allen that he had found Kisuke Urahara’s Hogyoku inside Rukia Kuchiki and asked him to bring her back as a safeguard against Urahara.
• Allen traveled to Karakura Town, where Sakura reunited with him and revealed that she had gained Quincy powers and a shape-changing ability resembling Fullbring.
• Allen explained that Rukia’s Hogyoku had likely awakened Sakura’s hidden soul power and decided not to seize the incomplete Hogyoku.
• Allen returned to Azerath with Sakura and Artoria, then watched Ichigo Kurosaki battle a Hollow while eating at a restaurant.

Rukia Kuchiki tried to flee the Soul Society agents sent to capture her, but Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki found her. Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida intervened, and the chapter ended with their teacher Sakura striking Byakuya with a powerful Reishi attack.

• After Ichigo Kurosaki defeated four Hollows, Rukia Kuchiki learned that agents from the Soul Society were coming to capture her and secretly fled the Kurosaki home.

• Byakuya Kuchiki overwhelmed Ichigo, breaking his Zanpakuto and cutting into his soul.
• Sakura blasted Byakuya with a powerful Reishi attack and revealed herself as a Quincy to Ichigo and Uryu.

Sakura confronted Byakuya Kuchiki after he attacked her students, challenged the Soul Society’s authority, and fought him at high speed. Byakuya’s Bankai could not overcome her self-repairing Reiatsu Armor, and Allen appeared disguised as Yuto Imai to taunt him.

• Sakura told Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida about the Quincy massacre and condemned Soul Society’s treatment of ordinary people.
• Byakuya Kuchiki released Senbonzakura and fought Sakura, who matched his speed and knocked him to the ground.
• Byakuya unleashed Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, but Sakura’s Frost Armor repaired itself faster than his blades could damage it.

Allen took Rukia Kuchiki to Soul Society under an execution order while Sakura kept Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin away from Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida. As Aizen and Allen prepared to set their plans in motion, Sakura pretended to cooperate with Urahara and Ichigo began recovering his powers.

• Allen presented Renji Abarai with the Central 46 Chambers' execution order for Rukia, then took her through a Senkaimon to Soul Society as Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji followed.
• Sakura explained that Renji and Byakuya had been using only one-fifth of their power, healed Ichigo and Uryu, and took them away after warning Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi to stay clear of her students.
• Sakura revealed Kisuke Urahara's and Yoruichi's identities, prompting them to decide they would need to approach her and explain their concerns about Aizen and the Hogyoku.
• Aizen inspected Rukia in her prison cell and discussed his plan with Allen, who concealed his Bankai and agreed to take part in the coming operation.
• Allen reflected that he intended to use the Hogyoku to combine Death, Hollow, and Quincy powers, while Aizen, Kaname Tosen, and Gin Ichimaru began carrying out their plans.
• In the Human World, Sakura pretended to be persuaded by Kisuke Urahara, allowing Ichigo to begin recovering his powers.

Allen proved his allegiance to Aizen by slaughtering the Central 46, then agreed to test Ichigo Kurosaki when the Ryouka invasion began. As the invasion unfolded, Ichigo fought off 11th Division members under Sakura’s instruction, while Aizen began turning Momo Hinamori against Gin Ichimaru and prepared his next deception.

• Allen killed every member of the Central 46 Chambers in five seconds, satisfying Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen and confirming his allegiance to Aizen.

• Ichigo defeated the more than one hundred attackers in just over two minutes, then left with Sakura to find Chad, Uryu, and Orihime.
• At the 5th Division barracks, Aizen insinuated that Gin Ichimaru might be connected to the invasion, prompting Momo Hinamori to seek Toshiro Hitsugaya’s help.
• Allen mocked Aizen for manipulating Momo, while Aizen dismissed the deception and began writing his suicide note.

Allen watched the Ryouka invasion unfold and rushed to see Kenpachi Zaraki fight Sakura. After Kenpachi defeated Ichigo Kurosaki in one slash, he and Sakura began a devastating battle that was still raging as she launched a powerful spear attack.

• Allen sensed Kenpachi Zaraki's Reiatsu and hurried to the battlefield, where Kenpachi had already wounded Ichigo Kurosaki and challenged Sakura.
• Sakura confirmed Ichigo was not in immediate danger, revealed she was a Quincy, and accepted Kenpachi's challenge by activating her Reiatsu Armor.
• Allen healed most of Ichigo's wound with Kaidō #74, while Hanatarō Yamada bandaged him and carried him away from the fight.
• Sakura and Kenpachi's clash destroyed the surrounding buildings and carved a crater into the ground as they unleashed more of their power.
• Sakura kicked Kenpachi back and hurled her red Spear Staff with Piercing Spear, forcing him to brace against its immense force.

Sakura fought Kenpachi Zaraki with explosive Reishi weapons, leaving him badly injured but eager to continue. Allen knocked Kenpachi unconscious to save his life and brought him to the 4th Division, where Isane Kotetsu prepared to report the Ryouka’s strength.

• Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed his Reiatsu against the Crimson Spear Staff, and its collision with his power caused a massive explosion that devastated the area.
• Sakura blocked Kenpachi’s attack with Frost Armor and used a Reishi Doorplate Greatsword whose unstable densities made it explode on impact.
• Sakura explained how the sword worked, warned that Kenpachi’s injuries could kill him, and challenged him for suppressing his potential.
• Kenpachi charged Sakura again, but Allen struck him unconscious before he could reach her.
• Allen carried Kenpachi and Yachiru Kusajishi to the 4th Division headquarters, where Isane Kotetsu ordered treatment and went to report the incident.

• Aizen watched the mourners react to his apparent death and warned Allen that Unohana Retsu might interfere with their plan.
• Allen said he wanted to test his strength against Unohana Retsu at the Central 46 Chambers, and Aizen told him not to reveal his Zanpakuto.
• Momo Hinamori found Aizen's suicide note and attacked Toshiro Hitsugaya after it accused him of conspiring against Aizen.
• Allen questioned the note's authenticity and redirected Momo and Toshiro's suspicions toward Gin Ichimaru.
• Gin Ichimaru attacked Momo with Kamishini no Yari, but Allen blocked it with Dankū and released captain-level Reiatsu, forcing Gin to withdraw.

Allen exposed the conspiracy around Aizen to Toshiro Hitsugaya, then met Aizen in the Central 46 Chambers as Unohana Retsu arrived to investigate. Aizen revealed the murdered judges and sages and explained Kyoka Suigetsu’s Complete Hypnosis, while Allen prepared to face Unohana.

• Gin Ichimaru left the funeral, and Allen hinted to Toshiro Hitsugaya that Gin had hidden accomplices among the captains.
• Allen refused to investigate further and went to the Central 46 Chambers, where he discussed Momo Hinamori and his coming fight with Unohana Retsu with Sosuke Aizen.
• Unohana Retsu and Yuzuho Kotetsu arrived, and Aizen dispelled the illusion concealing the dead members of the Central 46 Chambers.
• Unohana Retsu recognized Allen and identified Aizen as a traitor after noticing abnormalities in the supposed corpse.
• Aizen released Kyoka Suigetsu and revealed that its Complete Hypnosis controlled all five senses; Allen kept his eyes closed to avoid seeing its release.

• Aizen praised Allen’s ingenuity and told Kaname Tosen that talent mattered more to him than loyalty, while Unohana struggled to counter Allen’s speed and Hadō.

Allen revealed that his soul could sustain his Shunkō-like combat mode for far longer than Unohana expected, then defeated her after she unleashed Bankai, Kyōtenketsu. Aizen spared Unohana and Isane, and the chapter ended as Momo Hinamori, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Rangiku Matsumoto arrived at the Central 46 Chambers.

• Unohana questioned how long Allen could maintain his combat mode, and Allen explained that his unusually stable soul let him sustain it for a long time despite his poor energy-conversion efficiency.
• Allen invited Unohana to unleash her Bankai, and she activated Kyōtenketsu, filling the room with corrosive black-red blood plasma that turned excessive healing into decay.
• Allen and Unohana argued over Soul Society's leadership and Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto before Unohana attacked him with a wave of blood blades.
