Xu Yue persuaded Kisuke Urahara to help him enter Soul Society with a physical body in exchange for stopping Aizen's plan, then agreed to prove his strength. The chapter ended as Urahara, Yoruichi Shihoin, and Tessai Tsukabishi launched a coordinated attack and Xu Yue raised his hand to use Shinra Tensei.

• Xu Yue brought Isshin Kurosaki to Urahara Shop and offered Kisuke Urahara help against Aizen in exchange for a way to enter Soul Society with a physical body.
• Kisuke Urahara accepted Xu Yue's proposal but demanded to test his abilities and verify his claim of being a descendant of the Soul King.

• Xu Yue smiled and raised a hand to use Shinra Tensei against their coordinated assault.

Xu Yue overwhelmed Kisuke Urahara and his allies, then convinced Urahara that he wanted to stop Aizen and destroy the Hogyoku. As Xu Yue sensed trouble through his mark on Sun Lin, she was confronted by other reincarnators in the World of the Living.

• Xu Yue used Banshō Ten'in and Chibaku Tensei to defeat Kisuke Urahara and the other two fighters, trapping them in a sphere of earth.
• Kisuke Urahara questioned Xu Yue about his unfamiliar powers and considered whether his claim of being tied to the Soul King was credible.
• Xu Yue claimed he wanted to stop Aizen from completing the Hogyoku and invading the Soul King's Palace, and Urahara decided to let him help while withholding his own Hogyoku.
• Xu Yue sensed that his Flying Thunder God mark on Sun Lin had reacted.
• Sun Lin refused to leave Ichigo Kurosaki's home when several reincarnators confronted her, then slapped their leader and sent him flying.

Sun Lin fought off a group of Reincarnators, then faced a Shinigami Reincarnator who attacked her mech. Just as three surviving enemies returned with reinforcements, an unknown spell dragged the Shinigami away, leaving Sun Lin to confront the three men.

• Sun Lin leaped into her mech and blasted the street, killing most of the Reincarnators while three escaped.
• A Shinigami Reincarnator cut open Sun Lin’s cockpit and demanded that she come out.
• Sun Lin stored her mech and fired at the Shinigami, but her shots missed as he stood in midair.
• The three escaped Reincarnators returned with a Legion distress signal and taunted Sun Lin.
• An invisible hand seized the Shinigami and dragged him through a spell barrier, leaving Sun Lin facing the three men.

Xu Yue joined Kisuke Urahara’s research while his Wood Clone stayed with the Kurosaki family, where Rukia arrived as a Hollow attacked. After Rukia offered Ichigo her Soul Reaper power, Xu Yue intervened and forced both Ichigo and Sun Lin onto her Zanpakuto.

• Xu Yue explained his spatial barrier ability to Kisuke Urahara and asked to take part in his research, which Urahara accepted.
• Sun Lin enjoyed Yuzu’s cooking at the Kurosaki home as Ichigo’s family watched news coverage of the mecha incident.
• Ichigo, Sun Lin, and Xu Yue’s Wood Clone sensed a Hollow at the Kurosaki home and found Rukia there instead, while the clone spotted the Hollow hiding nearby.
• The Hollow attacked Ichigo, and the injured Rukia offered him her Soul Reaper power; Xu Yue urged her to empower Sun Lin as well.
• Xu Yue grabbed Ichigo and Sun Lin and pushed them onto Rukia’s Zanpakuto, skewering them both.

Rukia accidentally gave Sun Lin and Ichigo her Bleach powers, and Sun Lin began training with them. Xu Yue and Kisuke Urahara created a Spirit Core that let Xu Yue manifest his power as Spiritual Pressure, after which Xu Yue prepared to investigate Aizen’s objective before entering the Soul Society.

• Rukia found herself completely drained of her Bleach powers while Sun Lin and Ichigo awakened to their new strength and turned toward a recovering Hollow.
• Sun Lin trained with her Bleach powers and valued their protection against soul attacks as she joined Xu Yue’s Wood Clone, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Rukia in taking urban missions.
• Xu Yue and Kisuke Urahara completed a Spirit Core made from purified Hollow souls, and Xu Yue absorbed it to transform his form.
• Xu Yue released overwhelming Spiritual Pressure that nearly broke the barrier beneath Kisuke Urahara’s shop before he regained control of it.

• Xu Yue and Kisuke Urahara heard wind chimes ring above them as a visitor arrived.

Xu Yue and Kisuke Urahara arranged to send three Reincarnators to the Soul Society as Bleach, while Xu Yue also secured an ownerless Asauchi. As they prepared the Senkaimon, powerful Spiritual Pressure surrounded the shop, including a presence near captain-class strength.

• Three Reincarnators offered Kisuke Urahara soul crystals in exchange for entering the Soul Society, and he agreed to help them become Bleach and obtain three ownerless Asauchi.
• Xu Yue asked Kisuke Urahara for an Asauchi and followed him downstairs to help establish the Senkaimon.
• The three Reincarnators discussed Xu Yue's abilities and considered probing him or temporarily cooperating with him.
• Several powerful waves of Spiritual Pressure surrounded Urahara Shop, including one nearly as strong as a captain-class opponent.
• Kisuke Urahara realized the visitors could draw the Soul Society's Research and Development Bureau to his shop and said he would have to move afterward.

A French Legion Intruder and three Elite Reincarnators confronted Kisuke Urahara at the Urahara Shop, intending to capture him. Their attack stalled as Yoruichi Shihoin, the Grand Kido Master, and the Visored arrived, leaving the captain-level attacker surrounded and realizing Captain Aizen’s intelligence had been wrong.

• The Intruder and three Elite Reincarnators used the Research and Development Bureau’s support to unleash their full power in the World of the Living and targeted Kisuke Urahara.
• The four attackers found three Veteran Reincarnators outside the shop and ignored them as they cowered under the attackers’ Spiritual Pressure.
• Kisuke Urahara and Xu Yue emerged, and the captain-level Bleach demanded that Kisuke surrender and return to the Soul Society.
• Kisuke Urahara distracted the attacker with a remark about his impressive power while Xu Yue silently noted the danger of making such a commotion in Karakura Town.
• Yoruichi Shihoin, the Grand Kido Master, and the Visored arrived and surrounded the attacker, who realized Captain Aizen’s intelligence had been wrong.

Xu Yue and three Veteran Reincarnators became Bleach with Kisuke Urahara’s help and entered the Soul Society through the Dangai. After the Gotei 13 mobilized to hunt the Rift Invaders, the four landed in Rukongai and agreed to work together.

• Kisuke Urahara drove off the intruders, helped the three Veteran Reincarnators become Bleach, and gave them ownerless Asauchi; Xu Yue took one as well.
• Kisuke Urahara opened the Senkaimon, and Xu Yue and the three Reincarnators entered the Dangai together.
• Xu Yue sensed the Dangai’s distortion and the world powers behind it, then used Spatial Exemption to evade the Kōtotsu and race toward the Soul Society.
• The Research and Development Bureau detected the Rift Invaders, prompting old man Yamamoto to order the Gotei 13 to mobilize under Kenpachi Zaraki’s lead.
• The four landed in Rukongai, where the three Reincarnators discussed their new Bleach bodies and asked Xu Yue to join forces; Xu Yue agreed.

Jellson, Lutz, and Wilder tried to recruit Xu Yue into the Radical Association while hiding in Rukongai, believing he had valuable intelligence. After adapting to their Soul Reaper powers, they prepared to enter the Seireitei and planned to use the danger there to pressure Xu Yue into joining them.

• Jellson introduced himself, Lutz, and Wilder as members of the Radical Association and tried to learn about Xu Yue.
• Xu Yue said he was a Chinese laborer named Yue, leading the three Reincarnators to assume he had found his intelligence by chance.
• Wilder and Lutz offered Xu Yue associate membership in the Radical Association, then held back when he appeared hesitant.
• The three Reincarnators hid in Rukongai and gradually adapted to their Soul Reaper powers, though none achieved Shikai.
• After their strength improved, Jellson, Lutz, and Wilder prepared to enter the Seireitei and planned to use the Gotei 13's pursuit to make Xu Yue depend on their Legion.

Xu Yue entered the Seireitei with Jellson, Wilder, and Lutz after they defeated Jidanbo, then became a bargaining chip in negotiations with a Fifth Division officer. The officer pressed Xu Yue to reveal what he knew about the people smuggler, and Xu Yue agreed on the condition that he be protected.

• Jellson explained the two ways to enter the Seireitei, and the group chose to fight its gatekeeper.
• The three Veteran Reincarnators quickly subdued Jidanbo, who opened the White Way Gate for them.
• The Eleventh Division and other divisions searched the Seireitei for the Rift Invaders but failed to find them.
• The four Rift Invaders entered a Fifth Division courtyard, where insiders had arranged identities for three of them and used Xu Yue as a bargaining chip.
• A seated Fifth Division officer asked Xu Yue to share his intelligence about the people smuggler, and Xu Yue demanded a protection contract in exchange.

Xu Yue used his secret intelligence to secure a place in the Seireitei, then seized an opportunity to get close to Captain Toshiro while searching for a way into the Wandenreich. The chapter left Toshiro noticing Xu Yue’s suspicious broom just after reading about Rift Invaders disguising themselves as locals.

• Luxembourg accepted Xu Yue’s method for approaching Kisuke Urahara and arranged a menial-worker identity for him in the Seireitei, while the three Veteran Reincarnators entered Shin'o Academy.
• Xu Yue searched the Seireitei’s shadows for a way into the Wandenreich, where Yhwach and the Quincies remained hidden.
• Toshiro Hitsugaya brought a drunk Rangiku to the Tenth Division barracks and ordered Xu Yue to help with chores.
• Xu Yue cleaned Toshiro’s room while Toshiro reviewed a case file suggesting Rift Invaders might have adapted to local spirit particles and disguised themselves as Soul Society residents.
• Toshiro learned Xu Yue belonged to the Fifth Division and noticed him carrying a street-sweeping broom that concealed his Asauchi.

Xu Yue used Toshiro’s advice to accelerate his connection with his Asauchi and awakened his Zanpakuto, which took the form of Yui. He released it as “Rewrite, Yui” and began testing its ability to alter or control barriers.

• Xu Yue admitted to Toshiro that he had hidden an Asauchi in his broom to strengthen his connection with it, and Toshiro offered to answer his questions.
• Xu Yue asked Toshiro about communicating with a Zanpakuto, and Toshiro inferred that Xu Yue was close to awakening one.
• After returning to his quarters, Xu Yue used his Sharingan to enter his inner world and found Yui waiting for him as the incarnation of his Zanpakuto.
• Xu Yue named his Zanpakuto Yui and released it with the command “Rewrite, Yui.”
• Xu Yue tested the Zanpakuto on his isolation barrier and sensed that he could make it collapse or take control of it.

Xu Yue tested his Zanpakuto’s ability to analyze and control objects, then met Captain Aizen, who had come with Luxembourg to visit him. As Aizen subtly probed him, Xu Yue suspected the captain was investigating people connected to Luxembourg and concealed his true strength.

• Xu Yue used his Zanpakuto to analyze a table and reduce it to particles, confirming its utility against physical objects.
• Xu Yue dismissed his barrier and discovered Aizen and Luxembourg waiting outside his quarters.
• Aizen greeted Xu Yue warmly and explained that learning every squad member’s name was his responsibility.
• Xu Yue sensed Aizen’s subtle Spiritual Pressure probing and suspected Aizen was investigating people introduced by Luxembourg.
• Xu Yue showed Aizen his Asauchi and let the probe register his Spiritual Pressure at the level of a seated officer.

After Aizen’s visit forced Xu Yue to revise his plans, Xu Yue used a mission to provoke hostility from the Fifth Division’s veteran Reincarnators. Luxembourg revealed Xu Yue’s role and reward to them, and five figures cornered Xu Yue as he returned from work.

• Aizen noticed Xu Yue carried an Asauchi, praised his ambition, and demonstrated his Shikai, while Xu Yue shut off his vision to avoid Kyōka Suigetsu.
• Xu Yue adjusted his plans and used interactions with Momo Hinamori and Toshiro to complete missions that earned him three B-Rank Plot Points and their favor.
• Xu Yue submitted the mission rewards and intelligence to Luxembourg, who realized Xu Yue had indirectly ruined a mission being farmed by several legion members.
• Luxembourg demanded that Xu Yue surrender all three B-Rank Plot Points in exchange for suppressing the dispute, but Xu Yue refused every offer.
• Luxembourg told the aggrieved Reincarnators that Xu Yue had ruined their mission and gained three B-Rank Plot Points.
• Five figures blocked Xu Yue’s retreat when he returned from work.

Xu Yue defeated King Kong and the other Reincarnators after they demanded Plot Points for the mission he had disrupted. Luxembourg brought him to Aizen, but Xu Yue told the captain that they had attacked first, using the dispute to turn Aizen’s attention toward the Reincarnators.

• Jellson tried to persuade Xu Yue to hand over five B-Rank Plot Points to settle King Kong’s grievance.
• Xu Yue refused, released his Zanpakuto, and used its overwhelming illusion-like effects to knock King Kong and the other three attackers down.
• Xu Yue echoed Jellson’s earlier justification for violence in the barracks and demanded one B-Rank Plot Point from each of the four men.
• Luxembourg took Xu Yue to Aizen and ordered him to call the fight a misunderstanding and keep the others out of it.
• Xu Yue entered Aizen’s room and said that the Reincarnators had attacked him first.

Aizen investigated Xu Yue’s claims about the Wandenreich as a powerful pursuer attacked the Fifth Division barracks. Aizen confronted Tendo Xu Yue and survived his opening strike, setting up their fight.

• Aizen considered recruiting Xu Yue after suspecting that unusual Soul Reapers and Hueco Mundo forces were connected to the Quincy.
• Xu Yue told Aizen that Yhwach had survived and that the Wandenreich was infiltrating the Seireitei and Hueco Mundo ahead of a coming war.
• A massive Spiritual Pressure struck the Fifth Division barracks, and Xu Yue urged Aizen to escape while he lured the pursuer away.
• Aizen restrained Xu Yue with Binding Spell One and went outside to confront the attacker.
• Tendo Xu Yue attacked Aizen with an AT Field cutting strike, sending him through a building, but Aizen recovered and challenged him.

Aizen fought Tendo Xu Yue, who had attacked the Fifth Division barracks, and drove him from Seireitei with Kyōka Suigetsu despite being injured. Xu Yue then killed Luxembourg to conceal his betrayal and strengthen Aizen’s trust, leaving the two to prepare for the other captains’ arrival.

• Luxembourg was immobilized by Tendo Xu Yue’s Spiritual Pressure and realized that the intruder had overpowered Aizen with his opening strike.
• Aizen released Kyōka Suigetsu and clashed with Tendo Xu Yue, eventually stabbing him from behind through the effects of his Zanpakuto.
• Tendo Xu Yue unleashed a final burst of power that injured Aizen before escaping Seireitei and threatening to kill him next time.
• Aizen spared Luxembourg as he recovered, but Xu Yue emerged from the rubble and killed him to keep news of his betrayal from reaching the Elder.
• Xu Yue told Aizen that Luxembourg had been able to contact the Elder, and Aizen instructed him to portray Luxembourg as a victim of the intruder when the other captains arrived.

After Tendo Xu Yue attacked Aizen and killed Luxembourg, Soul Society and the Reincarnators tried to understand the sudden change to their plans. Xu Yue gained Aizen’s trust, copied part of Kyōka Suigetsu, and used a prophecy about Aizen’s own plans to push him to act sooner.

• Aizen reported the intruder’s attack, prompting Yamamoto to convene a captains’ meeting while Reincarnator leaders discussed their losses and learned that Aizen was fated to die in a later event.
• Xu Yue projected Kyōka Suigetsu and assessed its costly, incomplete replication after testing its illusions against Tendo Xu Yue.
• After several days, Aizen met Xu Yue again, and Xu Yue warned him that Yhwach could foresee the future and had dreamed that someone would stop his final plan.
• Xu Yue described a prophecy about creating an Oken with the World of the Living’s Spiritual Land and a figure bearing a strange gemstone, convincing Aizen it referred to his own plan.
• Aizen decided to accelerate his plans and let Byakuya Kuchiki play his part.

Uryu Ishida revealed that he was a Quincy and challenged Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions to a Hollow-hunting contest, while Xu Yue monitored the growing threat. The bait drew Hollows into the World of the Living, and Xu Yue killed the first one with a projected sword.

• Uryu Ishida blocked Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions on their way home and revealed his Quincy identity.
• Sun Lin interrupted Uryu Ishida's explanation by describing the Quincy conflict with the Soul Reapers, leaving Rukia Kuchiki shocked by what she had learned.
• Xu Yue's Wood Clone considered the contest's timing and watched over Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Sun Lin, and Orihime Inoue.
• Uryu Ishida released Hollow bait and challenged the others to see who could destroy more Hollows in twenty-four hours.
• A Hollow tore through the barrier into the World of the Living, and Xu Yue's Wood Clone pinned and killed it with a projected longsword.

As Hollows swarmed the World of the Living, Reincarnators seized the chance to hunt them and several squads plotted revenge against Sun Lin. While the others fought to contain the invasion, Orihime Inoue sensed a Hollow near the school and exposed that she could see it.

• Veteran Reincarnators gathered in a park and agreed to attack Sun Lin while the flood of Hollows kept her occupied.
• Uryu Ishida struggled to keep up with the endless Hollows as Sun Lin, Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia, and Xu Yue fought them across the area.
• Xu Yue headed toward the school because Orihime Inoue was about to awaken her powers.
• Orihime Inoue tried to lead Tatsuki Arisawa and Chizuru away from a monster on the rooftop.
• When Tatsuki returned toward the school to retrieve his clothes, Orihime Inoue warned him not to go, and the Hollow realized she could see it.
