Rukia's Bankai was called "White Mist Punishment." When released, a massive disc-shaped white radiance appeared in the sky, then a beam of light shot up from the ground and pierced the disc overhead. At the same time, pure waves of light surged and danced across the ground like enormous billows.
It could freeze everything within its attack range. Enemies touched by the light waves would freeze solid from head to toe, ultimately shattering apart like crumbling ice sculptures.
In short, its Bankai effects were maxed out.

Meanwhile, when Yoru Machi and his clone met up at the Fifth Division, he saw the Female Sternritter trio, who had persistently returned to attack the Fifth Division.
Ever since learning that Bambietta had been captured and imprisoned in the Fifth Division, Candice and the others had wanted to rescue her.

Now that Yhwach had issued the command for a full-scale assault, they naturally headed straight for the Fifth Division.
This time, the three of them not only intended to rescue Bambietta, but also swore to utterly crush those three women from before!
However, what the trio had not expected
