Uchiha Yoru had Moria bring ten legendary warriors back through Impure World Reincarnation, and their arrival turned the battle into clashes with the Knights of God.

• Moria returned with the ten reincarnated warriors, and Rocks struck Sengoku hard enough to send him crashing from the Execution Platform.
• Roger, Oden, Hashirama, and the others engaged the Knights of God, splitting the battlefield into ten clashes between the legendary fighters and the immortal knights.

Uchiha Yoru’s Reanimated Bodies held off the Knights of God while the Uchiha and Marines paused their fighting. After Roger learned the Marines planned to execute his son Ace, he overwhelmed Saint Shamrock, and Yoru’s side captured two Knights of God as Yoru told Roger that Ace had escaped.

• Imu rejected the Five Elders’ proposal to gather Marines and CP0, marked the Sabaody Archipelago for destruction, and attacked it with the Mother Flame.

After Imu’s attack destroyed Sabaody Archipelago, Uchiha Yoru was separated from his clan and stranded in Soul Society. He revealed overwhelming Spiritual Might at Shin'ō Academy’s entrance exam, drawing the attention of Seireitei’s leaders.

• Fugaku Uchiha and the others found Sabaody Archipelago replaced by a gigantic pit and whirlpool, and their calls to Yoru and the others went unanswered.
• Pain sensed traces of immensely powerful Conqueror’s Haki at the center of the destruction, and he and the Uchiha turned back to seek another island.
• Three months later, Yoru joined Shin'ō Academy’s admissions test after searching Rukongai and concluding that he was alone in Soul Society.
• Yoru released his power into the crystal sphere, which recorded his Spiritual Might as Second Class and caused his Reiatsu to spread as far as Seireitei.
• Captain-Commander Yamamoto ordered an investigation, while headmaster Kamiya Takuya brought Yoru to his office and told him Seireitei’s representatives would arrive soon.

Uchiha Yoru excelled at Shin'ō Academy and awakened his Zanpakutō, Tengetsu, on his first attempt at Blade Zen. After achieving Shikai, he agreed to graduate early, and his demonstration was scheduled for the next afternoon with the Gotei 13 invited.

• Chōjirō Sasakibe questioned Yoru about his background and unusual Reiatsu, and Yoru said he had arrived in Soul Society three months earlier with no teacher or inheritance.
• Over the next two months, Yoru mastered the academy's four fundamental subjects, including advanced Kidō, far beyond the instructors' expectations.
• Principal Kamiya Takuya gave the students their Asauchi and taught them how to enter Blade Zen and communicate with their sword spirits.
• Yoru entered Blade Zen immediately, met a spirit resembling a mature Uchiha with Mangekyō Sharingan, and learned its name, Tengetsu.
• Yoru released Tengetsu with the command "Reforge glory," transforming his Asauchi into a Shikai before the stunned students and instructors.
• Yoru accepted Principal Kamiya's offer of early graduation, and Principal Kamiya scheduled his examination and Shikai demonstration for the next afternoon, inviting the Gotei 13 divisions.

Uchiha Yoru demonstrated Tengetsu’s Shikai at Shin'ō Academy, secretly marking nearly every captain present with its blood moon before choosing to join the Fifth Division. After defeating its former Third Seat in a spar, Yoru faced Captain Aizen, who released Illusion in front of the division.

• Sōsuke Aizen and captains from the other divisions learned of Uchiha Yoru’s early graduation and planned to attend his assessment.
• Uchiha Yoru released Tengetsu’s Shikai, secretly marking nearly everyone who saw its blood moon while presenting its power as a domain that supported illusions and clones.
• Uchiha Yoru chose the Fifth Division and became its Third Seat, then accompanied Sōsuke Aizen and Momo Hinamori to the barracks.
• Uchiha Yoru defeated the former Third Seat, Fujiwara Ken, in a brief spar without using his Shikai.
• Sōsuke Aizen challenged Uchiha Yoru to spar and released his Zanpakutō, Illusion, by saying, “Shatter, Illusion!”

Uchiha Yoru and Aizen tested each other’s illusion-type Zanpakutō during a staged spar, exposing their mutual suspicions without revealing their abilities. Yoru left with Momo Hinamori, while Aizen considered whether to eliminate him or make him part of his plans.

• Aizen released Illusion and fought what he believed might be the real Uchiha Yoru, while the Fifth Division watched a hypnotically altered battle.
• Aizen sensed that Yoru’s performance was too perfect, approached the fight, and stabbed him; the apparent Yoru burst into smoke as Yoru revealed himself on a rooftop beneath Tengetsu’s Blood Moon.
• Yoru explained that he had used a Shadow Clone to avoid Aizen’s illusion, and the two acknowledged that they were both guarding against each other.
• Yoru descended, and Aizen ended the deception for the division members before praising Yoru and asking Momo Hinamori to show him his duties.
• After Yoru left with Momo Hinamori, Aizen wondered what Yoru was hiding and whether to remove him as a threat or bring him into his plans.

Uchiha Yoru traveled to Hueco Mundo with Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen to demonstrate his strength. After defeating Gin with Tengetsu and incapacitating Tōsen with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Yoru fought Aizen to a standstill, and their battle was about to grow more serious.

• Aizen opened a Garganta to Hueco Mundo and brought Yoru to the desert near Las Noches, where Baraggan Louisenbairn briefly greeted them before Aizen sent him away.
• Yoru trapped Gin Ichimaru in Tengetsu's Infinite Tsukuyomi, exposing Gin's secret Bankai and his plan to take Aizen's Hōgyoku, then released him from the dream.
• Kaname Tōsen used Bankai to create Enma Kōrogi, but Yoru shattered the barrier with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and knocked Tōsen unconscious.
• Yoru and Aizen began a full-power duel, with Yoru using Complete Body Susanoo and Sage Mode while Aizen countered with Kidō and Dangai.
• After fifteen minutes of fighting to a standstill, Yoru urged Aizen to take the battle more seriously, and both men began gathering Reiatsu for the next clash.

After battling Aizen to a draw, Uchiha Yoru revealed that he came from another world and offered to help Aizen explore beyond the Three Realms in exchange for borrowing the Complete Hōgyoku. The chapter ended with Yoru beginning his Resurrection Plan by invoking Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu in Aizen’s laboratory.

• Yoru and Aizen fought across Hueco Mundo until Aizen called a truce, and the battle-scarred pair returned to Las Noches together.
• Aizen showed Yoru his Arrancar research and explained his ambition to overthrow the order of the Three Realms, but Yoru called his ideal merely “not bad.”
• Yoru told Aizen he came from another world, claimed he could travel between worlds and prophesy, and predicted Aizen’s defeat and 20,000-year sentence.
• Yoru asked to borrow the Complete Hōgyoku to return home and offered to take Aizen to other worlds; Aizen accepted the deal.
• Yoru proposed using the Hōgyoku to resurrect someone, then pressed his palms to the laboratory floor and shouted, “Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu!”

Uchiha Yoru and Aizen used the Great Spirit Library to learn the Soul Separation Technique, which Aizen hoped would help him give Yoriichi Tsugikuni a genuine body. They tracked down Kisuke Urahara in Karakura Town, where Aizen confronted him and restrained Tessai Tsukabishi.

• Uchiha Yoru summoned Yoriichi Tsugikuni and learned that Fugaku's group and Akatsuki had established a secure base on Hachinosu while the weakened Navy rebuilt its forces.
• Aizen agreed that the Hōgyoku could theoretically create a permanent body for Yoriichi, but said Yoriichi's soul would dissipate unless it was separated from his Reanimated Body.
• Uchiha Yoru used an illusion to convince the Central 46 that he and Aizen were Squad Zero envoys, and they entered the Great Spirit Library without triggering alarms.
• Aizen studied Kisuke Urahara's research in the library and learned enough about the Soul Separation Technique to proceed.
• Uchiha Yoru led Aizen to the Urahara Shop in Karakura Town, where Aizen bound Tessai Tsukabishi with Bakudō #99: Kin.
• Kisuke Urahara came out and recognized Aizen, who revealed that he had finally found him.

Uchiha Yoru and Aizen seized Urahara’s Reishi-free Gigai and recovered the Hōgyoku from Rukia, then Aizen fused the two Hōgyoku and helped resurrect Yoriichi in a powerful new body. With the Complete Hōgyoku, Yoru opened a gate back to the Pirate World, and he, Aizen, and Yoriichi arrived on the New World’s coast.

• Yoru defeated Yoruichi’s surprise attack, and Urahara handed over more than a dozen special Gigai to Aizen and Yoru.
• Aizen extracted the Hōgyoku from Rukia as Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai, Shinji, and the Visored arrived too late to stop him.
• Aizen fused both Hōgyoku, then used one of Urahara’s Gigai to restore Yoriichi to life and break the body’s limits.
• Yoriichi fought Gin and Kaname to a draw, demonstrating the strength he had regained.
• Aizen created a powerful Gigai for himself and gave Yoru the Complete Hōgyoku, which allowed Yoru to open a gate between worlds.
• Yoru, Aizen, and Yoriichi passed through the gate and returned to the Pirate World.

After returning to the Pirate World, Uchiha Yoru learned that Kaido had declared war on the Uchiha Family and was heading to destroy their base on Hachinosu. Yoru seized Doflamingo’s ship and set course for the island with Aizen and Yoriichi, while Doflamingo spread word of the coming clash.

• Yoru introduced Aizen to the Pirate World, and the three explored Dressrosa, where Aizen learned that the moving toys were people transformed by the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
• Aizen chose the Soul-Soul Fruit from the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, and Yoru explained that Big Mom possessed it on Cake Island.
• Yoru heard that Kaido was leading the Beasts Pirates to attack Hachinosu and learned that the Uchiha Family had established its base there.
• Yoru recognized the threat to his clan, learned from a newspaper that Kaido had declared war, and ordered Aizen and Yoriichi to return to Hachinosu.
• Yoru forced Doflamingo to provide the Heaven’s Yaksha, then sailed for Hachinosu with Aizen and Yoriichi.
• Doflamingo ordered his family to alert their businesses and spread news that Yoru was heading to face Kaido.
