• A silverback-gorilla-like Adjuchas emerged from the Garganta, and Su Feng kept his attention on the opening, sensing another powerful Hollow within.

Su Feng defeated a Gorilla Hollow Adjuchas with powerful Kidō and Hakuda techniques, astonishing the watching Shinigami. As they thought the danger had passed, the Garganta expanded again and an overwhelming spiritual pressure emerged.

• Su Feng revealed that Tokinada had sent Tokie Tsunayashiro to ambush him and then joined the fight himself, exposing Akizuki's responsibility for releasing Tokinada.

After Tokinada Tsunayashiro’s assassination attempt, Su Feng confronted Tsunayashiro Akizuki and attended a Tsunayashiro Family meeting that curtailed Akizuki’s authority. Su Feng then visited the Fourth Division to study Kaido and quickly learned an advanced healing technique, leaving him hopeful that he could develop a way to recover spiritual pressure during battle.

• Su Feng rejected Tsunayashiro Akizuki’s attempt to explain away Tokinada Tsunayashiro’s assassination attempt and left him to face the family elders.
• Su Feng bathed at Rangiku Matsumoto’s quarters, reassured her after she doubted her usefulness, and learned that Captain Aizen had recommended a medical examination.

• Su Feng challenged Kaname Tosen’s narrow view of justice, and Tosen’s anger eased as he listened.
• Su Feng told Kaname Tosen that Tokinada Tsunayashiro was dead and asked him to help Seinosuke Yamada develop Reverse Healing Kido.

• Su Feng reflected that Kaname Tosen might question his pursuit of revenge now that Tokinada Tsunayashiro was dead.
• Su Feng visited Retsu Unohana, waited for her to finish her paperwork, and asked for Kendo guidance.
• Retsu Unohana and Su Feng changed into Kendo uniforms and began a Bamboo Sword duel in the dojo.
