Last night, when Ailin sensed the spatial disturbance coming from the Rukon District, he knew that Tetsusai Gantetsusai had used spatial Kido to transfer Hirako Shinji and the others to the Twelfth Division.
After receiving the compulsory arrest warrant from Central 46 today, Ailin did not sense Urahara Kisuke's presence within the Twelfth Division.

Thus, Ailin's decision to lead the Eleventh Division in forcibly storming the Twelfth Division was meant to use the Twelfth Division's members to buy Urahara Kisuke some time.
After all, Ailin remembered that Urahara Kisuke should have believed he had failed and walked out of the laboratory barrier this morning, only to be arrested.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's obstruction happened to align perfectly with Ailin's plans.
"Gōsuke."
"Captain Ailin."
"The Twelfth Division's members are obstructing our mission. What are you still standing around for?"
"Yes, Captain Ailin."
"Everyone, with me. Detain all those obstructing our mission as accomplices."
"Heh heh heh heh. It seems my Twelfth Division has truly been underestimated."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi sneered several times, drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, and recited its release command.
"Crawl forth—Sōkatsui!"
In an instant, the Zanpakuto in Mayuri Kurotsuchi's hand transformed into a golden three-pronged weapon. Between its hilt and blade was what seemed to be a golden human face.
"Attack!"
"Kill!"
As Gōsuke and Mayuri Kurotsuchi released their Zanpakuto, the Soul Reapers of the Eleventh and Twelfth Divisions immediately began fighting within the Twelfth Division.
The Eleventh Division's members were generally stronger than those of the
