• Uchiha Tamaharu summoned the God Tree and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi over Soul Society, trapping its souls in the genjutsu and binding them with roots.

• Hyōsube felt the seal suddenly strengthen and continued attacking it, unable to discover what had changed outside.
• After half a day, Uchiha Tamaharu noticed that many Soul Society souls were weakening and decided to expand the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Uchiha Tamaharu opened portals to Hueco Mundo, prepared a surface in its sky, and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping nearly every Hollow aboveground.

Uchiha Tamaharu had Aizen, Orochimaru, and Tobirama Senju study how long souls and Hollows could survive under the Infinite Tsukuyomi while the God Tree threatened to destabilize the worlds. After learning that ordinary Rukon residents might last a week and Shinigami and Hollows over three months, he accepted Aizen’s proposal to make the captives dream of training to increase their Reiatsu.

• As the sky warped and people panicked, Madara Uchiha and the others tried to maintain order while Senju Hashirama and Sakazuki acknowledged the danger.
• Uchiha Tamaharu sent a branch of the God Tree to the Living World and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi through the moon, televisions, and phones.

• Uchiha Tamaharu sent the God Tree’s branches to the Living World’s borders, where their released Reishi slowed Chaos’s devouring by a thousandfold but could not stop it.
• Ichigo Kurosaki and Squad Zero sensed that the Soul King’s power had stopped growing, tried to control his body, and began breaking through the seal.

• Orochimaru and Aizen warned Uchiha Tamaharu that people trapped in Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society were being drained and might soon be assimilated or devoured.
• Uchiha Tamaharu drew Soul King’s Power from Aizen, reinforcing the seal and ripening the fruit; he then plucked it and took a bite.

After eating the God Tree Fruit, Uchiha Tamaharu transformed and gained much stronger control over space, allowing him to halt the seal’s collapse and stabilize the Living World as the rest of existence became Chaos.
