Roga remembered the people who had treated her as trash and resolved to protect the trust Tier had placed in her.

• Duan Mu decided to focus on restoring his spirit body instead of spending his remaining experience to raise his spiritual pressure, since he feared a further transformation would make reconstruction impossible before the Spiritual Void Crest collapsed.
• Tier sensed that Ichigo Kurosaki’s group had reached the three-digit area and reflected that the Spiritual Void Crest, combined with Duan Mu’s flesh, had gradually strengthened her beyond its intended effect.

Aizen dismissed the Soul Society intruders as he watched events unfold, while Duan Mu struggled to finish reconstructing his spiritual body before his supplies ran out. In Las Noches, Nnoitra attacked Rukia and awaited a chance to confront Duan Mu, until an unexpected voice challenged him.

• Aizen told Tōsen Kaname that Tier’s unexplained changes interested him and identified the arriving Soul Society captains without checking their records.

• Nnoitra left Rukia wounded in Orihime Inoue’s care and asked whether Duan Mu had come to Hueco Mundo.
• An unseen speaker mocked Nnoitra for boasting about confronting Duan Mu after being defeated by him several times.

Tier revealed her battle-obsessed nature and overwhelmed Nnoitra, forcing him to release his Zanpakuto. She then discarded parts of her Resurrección and unveiled a powerful new form, leaving Nnoitra facing her strongest state under her first release.

• Tier arrived while Orihime Inoue treated Kuchiki Rukia, told her to continue, and confronted Nnoitra with her Zanpakuto.
• Tier’s vibrating yo-yo blade wounded Nnoitra, and she then appeared before him and slashed his chest with a more powerful direct attack.
• Tier dominated Nnoitra, while Kuchiki Byakuya arrived and learned that Duan Mu’s spirit patterns had brought Tier to Rukia.
• After Tier sent Nnoitra crashing through the palace wall, she ordered him to release his Zanpakuto, and he transformed with “Pray, Santa Teresa!”
• Tier released “Sever him, Wheel Iron Swallow,” discarded her wings, arms, and tail, then manifested black wings and a far greater reiatsu in her strongest first-release form.

Tier defeated Nnoitra by unleashing the vibrations of her Resurrección beyond her body, then watched as Stark abducted Orihime on Aizen’s orders. As Tier updated Rukia and Byakuya on the battles across Las Noches, Aizen’s voice called to the invaders from the torn sky.

• Tier, Roga, Byakuya, and Rukia found the Piccaro’s bodies outside the Fifth Tower, but the children revived and gathered around Barragan’s six Fracción.

Aizen and the Espada confronted the Gotei 13 above Karakura, while Tier and the Picaro reached the Fifth Tower to rescue Orihime Inoue. The Picaro destroyed the tower and revealed Barragan on Aizen’s throne, and the chapter ended as Tier rushed to free Orihime while Barragan attacked.

• Aizen, Tōsen Kaname, Ichimaru Gin, Tier Halibel, and Ulquiorra Cifer arrived before the Gotei 13, and Captain Commander Yamamoto shielded his allies from Aizen’s pressure before ordering an attack.

• The Picaros and Tier felt their Hollow markings change into Spiritual Void Crests, revealing that Duan Mu had recovered.

Duan Mu completed his spiritual-body reconstruction after spending his remaining experience on his Zanpakuto, but the process consumed most of Rukongai’s villains. He ordered his followers to leave before Karakura Town became a battlefield and weighed whether to join the fight against Aizen, while trying to learn what was happening in the Human World and Hueco Mundo.

• Duan Mu debated whether to reinforce Captain Commander Yamamoto and the others against Aizen, then sought news from the Human World and Hueco Mundo, where Picaro and Tier were fighting someone.

Picaro used his Second Resurrección to overpower Barragan, destroying Las Noches’ artificial sky and consuming the former emperor in a battle that ended with Barragan’s disappearance. Tier and the others found the exhausted Picaros, while Duan Mu emerged in the Forest of Menos and sensed Barragan’s fading aura.

• Duan Mu sensed Ichigo Kurosaki fighting Grimmjow and detected a Spiritual Void Crest on Nelly, which he realized Tier had created.
• Duan Mu found Las Noches in ruins and discovered that Picaro had defeated Barragan, while Tier, Kuchiki Rukia, and Orihime Inoue treated the exhausted Picaro.

• Duan Mu and Tier sensed Szayelaporro’s rapidly growing spiritual pressure and realized his hidden contingency on Roga had activated after his death.
• Kurotsuchi Mayuri watched Szayelaporro’s corpse dissolve and recognized that Szayelaporro was reviving from backups distributed throughout Hueco Mundo.

• Szayelaporro buried Roga, Nelly, Grimmjow, and Ichigo Kurosaki with a Cero, then left for his laboratory without finishing them off.
• Duan Mu and Tier reached the sand pit, and Duan Mu pulled Roga, Nelly, Grimmjow, and Ichigo Kurosaki from the sand while Orihime Inoue rushed to Ichigo.
• Duan Mu determined that Nelly's destroyed Hollow Core would soon cause her body to disperse, so he cut off his arm and used its flesh and spiritual pressure to form spirit runes.
• Duan Mu began reconstructing the Hollow Cores of Nelly, Roga, and Grimmjow, drawing a surge of reishi that agitated Hollows throughout Hueco Mundo.

Aizen watched the Soul Reapers battle the Espada in Karakura Town until a huge Garganta opened and a strange Arrancar boy struck Ukitake. In Hueco Mundo, Duan Mu finished reconstructing several Arrancars’ Hollow Cores, then went to confront Szayelaporro, who had targeted Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

• Yamamoto saved wounded Soul Reaper lieutenants and disabled Halibel’s three Fracción while the captains fought the Espada.
• Aizen opened a Garganta above the battlefield, and a blond Arrancar boy emerged before vanishing and stabbing Ukitake in the abdomen.

• Duan Mu sensed Szayelaporro approaching Kurotsuchi Mayuri and hurried to the underground laboratory.
• Szayelaporro turned his attention from Mayuri to Duan Mu, who appeared behind him with his Zanpakuto and said he would not let him use Resurrección.

Duan Mu killed Szayelaporro and was unexpectedly transported away by Kurotsuchi Mayuri’s enhanced Transworld Junction Pillar. In Karakura Town, Aizen faced the arriving Visored Army and the Gotei 13 as the decisive battle began, but an abrupt shout interrupted the moment.

• Wonderweiss summoned a flood of Gillian from Fler, and the Visored Army and Gotei 13 prepared to fight before an abrupt shout interrupted them.

Duan Mu was transported onto the battlefield and confronted Aizen, but Aizen intercepted his attempt to kill Wonderweiss and revealed that everyone else saw Duan Mu as Wonderweiss. Duan Mu recognized that Aizen’s Hogyoku-driven transformation had taken a different, still-evolving path, leaving him unsure how much stronger Aizen might become.

• Duan Mu appeared between the Visored Army and Aizen after Kurotsuchi Mayuri sent him to the Human World, and he cursed Mayuri for dropping him into the battle.
• Duan Mu exchanged words with Hiyori and Shinji Hirako before suddenly moving to attack Wonderweiss.
• Aizen blocked Duan Mu’s strike, and their clash destroyed the nearby Gillian and the imitation buildings around them.
• Aizen told Duan Mu that others perceived him as Wonderweiss and would believe he was warning Yamamoto about the threat to his Zanpakuto.
• Duan Mu noticed that Aizen had fused Kyoka Suigetsu into his body and concluded that the Hogyoku had guided him along a different evolutionary path that might not yet be complete.

Duan Mu fought off the Gotei 13 and Visored Army members who mistook him for Aizen under Kyōka Suigetsu, then confronted Aizen to disrupt the hypnosis. As Yamamoto trapped them in flames and Aizen prepared Wonderweiss to devour them, several figures emerged from the sky and charged Wonderweiss, prompting Aizen to manifest a radiant double.

• Duan Mu repelled Nanao Ise, Kensei Muguruma, Love Aikawa, and Rojuro Otoribashi while Shinji Hirako ordered the Visored Army to focus on the Gillian.
• Duan Mu chose to attack Aizen, but Komamura Sajin, Hiyori, Hachigen Ushiroda, and Lisa Yadomaru intercepted him near the infirmary.

• Duan Mu bypassed the interceptors and reached Aizen, who explained that Yamamoto had trapped them together in flames and intended to destroy them both.

• Duan Mu discovered that Yamamoto’s Fire City Wall had distorted the space around him, preventing him from using Reskitar, and he charged through the flames instead.
• Tier, Nelly, and Roga arrived through a Garganta, attacked Wonderweiss, and retreated when they sensed Aizen’s power.
• Duan Mu intercepted Aizen’s shock wave to protect the three women, then attacked with Jueming and its ability to assimilate his energies.

• Aizen’s allies, the Espada, the Gotei 13, Tier and her companions, and the Visored Army took positions around the battlefield, while Duan Mu wondered whether he should run.

Duan Mu considered his inability to defeat Aizen without more experience and explained why he would not use his uncontrollable Bankai. As the battle began, the factions chose their opponents, and Tier confronted Stark, who had learned she killed Nnoitra and Barragan.

• Duan Mu invested the experience points earned from Nelly and Roga into his physique, bringing it close to the First Stage while leaving him with no experience.
• Aizen questioned why Duan Mu had not used Bankai, and Duan Mu reassured the Gotei 13 that Tier and his other Arrancar companions were his equals, not subordinates.
• Shinji Hirako charged at Aizen, Tier attacked Aizen's group with a Cero, and the battlefield erupted into separate fights.
• Komamura Sajin confronted Tōsen Kaname, Kyōraku Shunsui faced Ichimaru Gin, and Love Aikawa and Love Aikawa blocked Wonderweiss.
• Tier told Stark that she had killed Nnoitra and Barragan, then urged him to leave the fight; Stark refused and aimed his guns at her.

Captain Commander Yamamoto unleashed Inferno Hell against Aizen while Shinji Hirako reinforced Hachigen Ushiroda’s barrier, trapping Duan Mu in the attack. Aizen survived through Kyoka Suigetsu and released Wonderweiss to absorb the flames, leaving Yamamoto to protect the Human World as Aizen claimed victory.

• Hachigen Ushiroda maintained a protective barrier with help from Hiyori, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and the gathered Soul Reapers, while Duan Mu’s allies fought the Espada.
• Captain Commander Yamamoto attacked Aizen with Inferno Hell, and Shinji Hirako reinforced the barrier from inside so the flames would remain contained.
• Duan Mu realized Shinji Hirako and Captain Commander Yamamoto had planned to sacrifice themselves, but he could not escape the barrier and defended himself from the flames.
• Aizen revealed that he had used Kyoka Suigetsu to deceive Yamamoto and Shinji, then struck the barrier as Yamamoto’s attack hit the illusion.
• Duan Mu warned the others, but Yamamoto’s flames struck the barrier and Wonderweiss absorbed them after transforming.
• Aizen recovered and taunted Yamamoto, who rushed to contain Wonderweiss’s power while Aizen declared that he had won.

Duan Mu and the Gotei 13 faced Aizen after Yamamoto’s attack left the Captain Commander gravely wounded, while Tier’s Second Resurrección revealed an evolution that stunned Aizen. The chapter ended with Nelly arriving in a similar transformed state as Tier’s explanation connected the change to Duan Mu’s Spiritual Void Crest and flesh.

• Duan Mu revealed that Aizen had stayed trapped in Yamamoto’s flames and used Kyōka Suigetsu to misdirect the others, while Yamamoto and Shinji lay gravely injured.
• Aizen recovered his Spiritual Power and confronted Duan Mu, but a vast black Spiritual Power spread over Karakura Town as Tier emerged in a dramatically changed Second Resurrección.
• Ichimaru Gin explained to Kyōraku Shunsui and Lisa that Tier’s transformation was an evolution in her level of life, unlike Ulquiorra’s return to his true Hollow form.
• Aizen studied Tier’s purple, branch-like markings and recognized her transformation as an evolution achieved without the Hogyoku, while Duan Mu wondered whether the markings resembled Quincy Blut Vene.
• Nelly arrived in a transformed form, and Tier explained that the purple Spiritual Void Crest appeared gradually as the Arrancar digested flesh infused with Duan Mu’s crest and physique.

Tier and Stark’s battle revealed the full strength of Tier’s Second Resurrección, while Aizen abruptly attacked the battlefield’s fighters and explained why he had discarded his followers. Ichigo then attacked Aizen, whose speech left the battle poised to continue.

• Tier used sound-wave vibrations to damage Stark, erase his Cero, and move with near-teleporting speed, while Stark countered with a pack of explosive Cero wolves.
• Tier and Stark explained the limits of her two sound-based techniques as their fight continued, and Aizen acknowledged her strength while discussing her history with Duan Mu.
• Aizen unleashed an indiscriminate attack across the battlefield, striking down Soi Fon, Kyōraku Shunsui, Kensei Muguruma, Nanao Ise, Roga, Nelly, Halibel, and Ulquiorra while leaving Ichimaru Gin standing.
• Aizen told Stark and Duan Mu that he had discarded followers whose strength was insufficient and criticized Duan Mu for restraining his power to protect others.

Desperate for enough experience to transform, Duan Mu raised Soi Fon’s favorability with a confession and boosted his stamina to 900,000 before facing Aizen again.

• Aizen explained that Unohana Retsu had to choose between treating the wounded and fighting him, while Ichigo Kurosaki realized his Getsuga Tensho had failed.
• Kurosaki Isshin arrived to help Ichigo Kurosaki retreat, and Duan Mu stepped in to confront Aizen while the others evacuated the wounded through a Senkaimon.
• Stark chose to help Tier and Unohana Retsu evacuate the injured, while Duan Mu realized he needed more than 30,000 experience points to improve his stamina.
• Duan Mu confessed his admiration to the injured Soi Fon and asked her to have dinner with him, raising her favorability and gaining 102,400 experience points.
• Duan Mu used his experience points to raise his stamina to 900,000, then invested the remaining points in spiritual pressure before challenging Aizen again.
