Chapter Summaries

Su Feng and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Seinosuke Yamada, and Kagerōza Inaba went to the Gokuzai Family estate to investigate Hell, only to find its inhabitants slaughtered and encounter the First Generation Gotei 13 captain Saito Furofushi. Saito attacked Su Feng, but his layered Danku barriers overwhelmed her and broke her fighting spirit.

• Su Feng decided to prioritize Hell and brought Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Seinosuke Yamada, and Kagerōza Inaba to the Gokuzai Family estate.
• On the way, Kagerōza Inaba said the Reigai copy of Yamamoto Genryusai was eighty percent complete but stalled over Ryujin Jakka's Bankai.
• Su Feng found the Gokuzai estate covered in blood and corpses, while Mayuri Kurotsuchi's detector failed to register the living Saito Furofushi.

• Su Feng blocked Saito's strikes with Danku barriers, and Saito's blade and power changed as she grew enraged and manifested a bone mask.
• After Su Feng cast Multiple Danku to form layers of barriers, Saito's fighting spirit crumbled and her spiritual pressure waned.

Su Feng subdued Saito Furofushi and learned that Hell's Gates had shattered, freeing the dead to walk among the living. When Shihoin Sennichi arrived and challenged him, Su Feng destroyed the Gokuzai Family estate with a giant spiritual-pressure palm, but Sennichi transformed and attacked again.

• Shihoin Sennichi regenerated after decapitation, so Su Feng restrained and sealed him while Mayuri Kurotsuchi and the others searched the Gokuzai Family ruins.
• Su Feng forced Saito Furofushi to answer questions, and she explained Hell's levels, Hell's Will, the dead souls' dependence on their sense of self, and the weakening of Hell's guards.

After returning from Hell, Su Feng briefed the Gotei 13 captains on the Gates of Hell collapsing and the resulting upheaval, prompting Yamamoto Genryusai to declare war preparations.

• Shunsui Kyoraku Hollowfied during his fight with Minagawa Sho and struck at his opponent's weakness as their duel continued.

• Su Feng finished clearing much of the Seireitei and sensed an exceptionally powerful spiritual pressure near the Seireimon.
• Su Feng found Kenpachi Zaraki fighting Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and recognized Kuruyashiki's Zanpakuto, Gagaku Kairō.
• Shunsui Kyoraku arrived and said Kuruyashiki was acting unlike the friend he had known, while Su Feng suspected Hell was responsible.

He used Hell’s Will to break Hachigen’s chain, but the chapter ended with Saito asking him to sever hers as well.

• Su Feng escaped the crowded private ward and discussed Hell’s attack and the Wandenreich with Yamamoto Genryusai, proposing that Soul Society strike first in Hueco Mundo.

• At the Fourth Division Barracks, Su Feng confronted Saito Furofushi and Hachigen Ushoda, and Retsu Unohana explained that Hell’s chains bound them to return when balance was restored.
