Su Feng continued his plan to Hollowfy the captains, first transforming Soi Fon and then Sajin Komamura. After Komamura recovered, Su Feng prepared to target Toshiro Hitsugaya, but Retsu Unohana stopped him outside Squad 7.

• Su Feng restrained Soi Fon and injected her with Hollow Poison, causing her to Hollowfy and attack until he subdued her with Bakudo #99: Kin.

• Su Feng persuaded Sajin Komamura to undergo Hollowfication by promising it could help him bring Kaname Tosen back from Hueco Mundo.

• Haschwalth summoned Gerard Valkyrie and ordered him to go to the battlefield and kill Baraggan Louisenbairn.

Baraggan Louisenbairn battled Gerard Valkyrie, whose miraculous power let him return from death and grow into a giant. After transforming through Resurrección, Baraggan engulfed the battlefield in darkness and began eroding Gerard with death.

• Gerard fired Holy Arrows of Destruction, but Baraggan’s Respira corroded the attacks and swallowed Gerard.

• At the Reishi Wave Observation Lab, Su Feng watched Baraggan erase Gerard with the Power of Senescence, only for Gerard to revive in his God's Authority Quincy: Vollständig form.

• Nanao Ise entered the room, saw Su Feng and Tier Harribel tangled together, and apologized for arriving at the wrong time.

Su Feng discovered that the Soul Society and the Human World were being drawn together, traced the crisis to the Ryūdōji Clan’s plan involving Senna, and entered the Dangai to rescue her.

• Su Feng destroyed the Kōtotsu with Hado #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō and followed the lingering spiritual particles toward Screaming Valley.
• As the Ryūdōji Clan escorted Senna through Screaming Valley, fragmented memories overwhelmed her and she wondered who she was.

Su Feng defeated Ryūdōji Genryu and his retainers in the Screaming Valley, then tried to take Senna with him.

• Su Feng unleashed his Shunko and destroyed the Screaming Valley with a Rider Kick, while Mayuri Kurotsuchi learned that the threat had vanished and ordered the First Division notified.
• Su Feng told Senna that her self-awareness made her an independent individual and rejected the idea that she was destined to be sacrificed; he tied her hair with a Kenseikan.

• Su Feng arrived with Senna, sensed the barracks' murderous tension, handed Senna to Nanao Ise, and hurried away with an excuse about Captain Unohana.

• Isane Kotetsu told Su Feng that Yamamoto had sent several captains to support him in the Dangai, though Su Feng had already resolved the anomaly.
• Su Feng recognized the Retsu Unohana who returned to the barracks as an impostor and struck her, then warned Isane to evacuate the division members.

• Su Feng left Jūshirō Ukitake to handle the aftermath after saving him from the fake Isshin Shiba.
• Shiba Kaien used his Bankai, Gekka Tenbatsu, to overwhelm and defeat the Reigai Shiba Kaien, then asked Su Feng about the copies.
