Chapter Summaries

Su Feng led the Tsunayashiro Family expedition through a private Senkaimon to a battle in the Human World near Naruki City. He intended to use the mission as an opportunity to kill Tokinada Tsunayashiro, who had joined the expedition to earn a reduction in his house arrest.

• Tsunayashiro Akizuki opened the Small Senkaimon and explained that Tokinada Tsunayashiro would join the expedition to atone for his crimes through merit.
• Su Feng warned that he would not be responsible if Tokinada was injured or killed, while Tokinada answered with feigned respect.
• Su Feng and the others arrived in the mountains outside Naruki City, where a battle was already underway.
• Su Feng used Wind Breath to survey the mountain range and ordered the Tsunayashiro Family members to enter in teams of three, use their Spirit-Severing Ropes, and proceed cautiously.
• Tokinada was left with only one teammate, and Su Feng mocked his reputation while privately resolving to seize the chance to kill him.

Su Feng and Tokie Tsunayashiro accompanied Tokinada Tsunayashiro into the mountains, where he fought a rebel leader with a strange domain ability. Tokinada killed the leader after appearing to lose his composure, but Su Feng recognized the outburst as a performance.

• Su Feng, Tokie Tsunayashiro, and Tokinada Tsunayashiro entered the battlefield and encountered a rebel leader who engulfed them in his domain.
• Tokinada asked to fight the leader, and Su Feng agreed without making him refuse first.
• Tokinada split the leader’s Shakkahō with his Spirit Tool Blade, then wounded him and severed one of his arms.
• The rebel leader used Domain: Annihilation to alter the reishi and cut Tokinada’s cheek, along with the others’ spiritual-pressure defenses.
• Tokinada appeared enraged and killed the rebel leader by severing his head, while Su Feng realized Tokinada had staged his loss of composure.

Su Feng continued north with Tokinada Tsunayashiro and Tokie Tsunayashiro as the battle against the Rebel Army intensified. He confronted former Fourth Division Vice-Captain Sae Imaizumi, whose plant-controlling Zanpakuto was overwhelmed by Su Feng’s Wind Breath, leaving Sae terrified by his opponent’s power.

• Su Feng dismissed Tokinada Tsunayashiro’s plea for another chance, then continued north with Tokie and Tokinada.
• Rebels used explosive Kido to sacrifice themselves, and Su Feng ordered his companions to end their fights quickly.
• Su Feng attacked Sae Imaizumi during a Shunpo, prompting Sae to identify him as a member of the Tsunayashiro Family and vow to kill him.
• Sae released his Zanpakuto, growing a giant serpent of thorny vines and sending it crashing toward Su Feng.
• Su Feng’s Wind Breath shattered the giant serpent, and Sae stared at him in fear as if he were a god commanding the winds.

Su Feng killed Sae Imaizumi, then returned to the battlefield pretending to be badly injured so Tokinada Tsunayashiro might seize an opportunity to attack him. As Su Feng led Tokinada and Tokie north toward another battlefield, a surprise strike hit his arm.

• Su Feng overwhelmed Sae Imaizumi's thorn attacks and killed him with Severing Void.
• Su Feng used Seinosuke Yamada's Flesh Regeneration Agent to make himself appear severely wounded and returned to the battlefield.
• Tokinada Tsunayashiro and Tokie Tsunayashiro helped turn the battle around, and Su Feng organized the survivors into groups of three to support other battlefields.
• Su Feng let Tokie accompany their group and distributed Spirit-Severing Ropes before leading Tokinada and Tokie north.
• Tokinada watched Su Feng and murmured that the rare opportunity mattered more than whether Su Feng's injuries were genuine.
• As intense spiritual pressure stirred ahead, an unseen attacker struck Su Feng's arm with a frigid Sword Pressure.

Su Feng exposed Tokinada Tsunayashiro’s plot after surviving attacks by Tokie and Tokinada, then confronted Tokinada over his ambition to become the supreme being. Their clash unleashed such overwhelming spiritual pressure that fighting across the battlefield stopped.

• Tokie Tsunayashiro attacked Su Feng, but Tokinada Tsunayashiro blasted her away and pretended to show concern for Su Feng.

• Tokinada unleashed Hado #63: Raikoho, but Su Feng’s gale swallowed the attack.
• Tokinada released his full spiritual pressure, stopping battles across the field and drawing every combatant’s attention toward the north.

Su Feng and Tokinada Tsunayashiro fought at full power after Tokinada challenged Su Feng’s claim to the family head position. Su Feng survived Tokinada’s strongest Kido, killed him, and stood victorious over the ruined battlefield.

• Tokinada Tsunayashiro attacked Su Feng with Bakudo #63: Sajo Sabaku and Bakudo #75: Quintuple Iron Pillar, but Su Feng evaded the chains and cut through the pillars.

• Tokinada Tsunayashiro believed Su Feng had vanished in the explosion, but Su Feng appeared behind him with Storm Howl at his neck.
• Su Feng beheaded Tokinada Tsunayashiro, killing the Branch Family’s Last Seat.

After defeating Tokinada Tsunayashiro, Su Feng gained new Kendo, Hakuda, Bakudo, and spiritual-pressure abilities, then returned to the battlefield to crush the remaining rebels. Their willingness to die for the cause left him suspecting a connection to the Shihoin Family as the fighting resumed.

• Su Feng received generous rewards from Tokinada Tsunayashiro's death, including 11th Dan Kendo, Rankyaku, Danku, and increased Reishi Affinity.
• Su Feng found that Tokie Tsunayashiro had survived beneath the rubble and killed her with Byakurai.

• A rebel triggered a Hado placed on their body in a suicide attack, but Su Feng blocked the explosion with Bakudo #81: Danku.
• Su Feng wondered whether the rebels were dead soldiers cultivated by the Shihoin Family, then vanished into the breeze.

Su Feng rushed to the battlefield after a Garganta opened and unleashed a horde of Hollows, apparently summoned with enhanced Hollow Bait. He held the Hollows back while an Adjuchas emerged, and he suspected an even greater threat remained inside the Garganta.

• Su Feng abandoned a battlefield when savage spiritual pressure erupted from the south.
• In an underground Research Lab in Karakura Town, a white-clad researcher noticed the war's escalation, took his bucket hat, and left the shop.
• Su Feng found a Garganta opening near the battlefield as Hollows poured out and devoured a Rebel Army member who had used enhanced Hollow Bait.
• Su Feng stopped the Hollows from reaching the mountains with Byakurai and sword strikes, while the Soul Reapers arriving from the forest halted under the Adjuchas's spiritual pressure.
• 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.

• The Gorilla Hollow Adjuchas threatened the reinforcements, who recognized Su Feng and hoped he would protect them.
• Su Feng struck the Adjuchas with Hadō #4: Byakurai, then sent it flying with a Rankyaku kick.
• The injured Adjuchas fired a Cero at Su Feng, who countered with Hadō #63: Raikōhō and annihilated it.
• The Garganta expanded once more, and an abyssal spiritual pressure spread across the plain.

Szayelaporro Granz emerged from the Garganta as a Vasto Lorde and targeted Su Feng, while Kisuke Urahara watched from concealment. Su Feng answered the overwhelming spiritual pressure by unleashing Celestial Phenomenon Advent, and the two prepared to face off.

• Kisuke Urahara arrived at the plain in secret and recognized that the spiritual pressure coming through the Garganta belonged to a Vasto Lorde.
• Szayelaporro Granz emerged from the Garganta and crushed the battlefield’s Soul Reapers with his spiritual pressure.
• Szayelaporro Granz declared that he would make Su Feng a new experimental vessel and locked his pressure onto him.
• Su Feng identified Szayelaporro Granz, reinforced his grip on Storm Howl, and released Celestial Phenomenon Advent.
• Kisuke Urahara watched the storm gather and wondered how Soul Society had become so unfamiliar in only three years.

Tsunayashiro Su Feng battled Szayelaporro Granz in the Human World, adapting his spiritual pressure and landing powerful attacks before Szayelaporro revealed his true form. Soul Society detected the Vasto Lorde’s immense power and dispatched an emergency call for support as the fight continued.

• Kisuke Urahara watched the confrontation and recognized Su Feng as the noble he had once seen in the Noble District.
• Szayelaporro Granz attacked Su Feng, but Su Feng identified how Szayelaporro had studied his abilities through Bellona.
• Su Feng changed the nature of his Reishi, wounded Szayelaporro with Storm Howl, and knocked him into the ground with an Ultimate Tempest Kick.
• Su Feng struck Szayelaporro with a double-incantation Kido, but Szayelaporro healed and transformed into his true form.
• Mayuri Kurotsuchi detected the Vasto Lorde at Human World fixed point 1027 and ordered every division to send immediate support.

Su Feng used his trump-card blade technique to grievously injure Szayelaporro Granz, who escaped through a Garganta after Shunsui Kyoraku and Aizen arrived. Back at the Tsunayashiro estate, Su Feng revealed that Tokinada Tsunayashiro had arranged an assassination attempt against him, leaving Tsunayashiro Akizuki facing the consequences of releasing Tokinada.

• Yamamoto Genryusai sent a highest-level emergency order to the divisions, and Shunsui Kyoraku and Aizen traveled to the Human World.
• Szayelaporro Granz unleashed his full power, but Su Feng blocked his Cero with Danku and struck him twice with Gale Storm Song: East - Severing Sky Blade.
• Szayelaporro escaped inside a Negación through a Garganta as Shunsui Kyoraku and Aizen arrived and helped Su Feng recover.
• Aizen proposed using a Memory-Altering Device to erase human memories of the battle, while Shunsui Kyoraku opened a Senkaimon to report back to Soul Society.
• Su Feng returned the surviving nobles to the Tsunayashiro estate, where Tsunayashiro Akizuki asked where Tokinada Tsunayashiro was.
• 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.
• Tsunayashiro Aomine led a family meeting that blamed the rebel unrest on possible Kuchiki Family and Shihoin Family involvement and shortened Akizuki’s term as Family Head while reducing his authority.
• Su Feng visited Seinosuke Yamada at the Fourth Division to discuss recovering spiritual pressure through Kaido, and learned that precise spiritual pressure control had prevented earlier researchers from achieving it.
• Su Feng studied Kaido techniques, quickly cast Kaido No. 7: Shinra Seisei, and tested its healing effect on Seinosuke Yamada before identifying Reishi Affinity as a key factor in his rapid progress.

Su Feng visited Kaname Tosen after Seinosuke Yamada’s experimental treatment restored his sight but altered his body with Soul King Reishi. He told Tosen that Tokinada Tsunayashiro was dead and persuaded him to help develop Reverse Healing Kido before returning to Squad 7.

• Su Feng asked Seinosuke Yamada about Spiritual Pressure recovery and directed him to send part of the Adjuchas’s body to Mayuri Kurotsuchi through a subordinate.
• Seinosuke Yamada explained that his optimized treatment had healed Kaname Tosen and restored his sight, but had given him several pairs of black eyes.
• 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.
• Kaname Tosen agreed to cooperate and learned that he should recover before reporting to Squad 7.

Su Feng and Retsu Unohana met to practice Kendo, where their fierce duel ended with Su Feng gaining the upper hand. Unohana then revealed that Soul Society’s Kendo rankings were handled by the Women's Shinigami Association.

• 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.
• Su Feng countered Retsu Unohana’s techniques and defeated her, stopping his broken Bamboo Sword at her neck.
• Retsu Unohana said Soul Society’s Kendo ranks should be reclassified and identified the responsible group as the Women's Shinigami Association.

Su Feng was pulled into the 237th meeting of the Women's Shinigami Association by Retsu Unohana, who planned to propose new Kendo ranks. After meeting Ginrei Kuchiki and trading barbs with Byakuya Kuchiki, Su Feng joined the association as Unohana began presenting her proposal.

• Retsu Unohana persuaded Su Feng to accompany her to the Women's Shinigami Association meeting, where she planned to propose dividing Kendo into ranks.
• Su Feng and Retsu Unohana arrived at the Kuchiki Family estate, and Ginrei Kuchiki welcomed them before sending Byakuya Kuchiki to attend in his place.
• Byakuya Kuchiki led Su Feng and Retsu Unohana past the concealed entrance, and Su Feng mocked him for not knowing where the association office was.
• Nanao Ise welcomed Su Feng and Byakuya Kuchiki into the meeting, then privately asked Retsu Unohana whether the two men were in conflict.
• Retsu Unohana began presenting the proposed Kendo rank reclassification at the 237th Women's Shinigami Association meeting, with Nanao Ise recording the discussion.

Su Feng was appointed vice president of the Kendo Association despite Byakuya Kuchiki's objection, then began teaching Nanao Ise Kido with a hands-on Byakurai method that made her flee. Days later, the First Division ordered Su Feng to investigate disappearances in North Rukongai and authorized him to use Bankai if necessary.

• Byakuya Kuchiki objected to Su Feng serving as vice president, but Retsu Unohana approved Su Feng and pressured Byakuya into dropping his objection.
• The Women's Shinigami Association meeting concluded, and Su Feng took Nanao Ise and Rangiku Matsumoto to the Ninth Division's Kido training grounds.
• Su Feng used Byakurai to help Nanao sense Reishi patterns as he taught her Kido, but she abruptly pulled away and left.
• Nanao Ise avoided Su Feng for several days, prompting Rangiku Matsumoto to watch the two with suspicion.
• The First Division ordered Su Feng to investigate the disappearances of residents and Soul Reapers in North Rukongai, allowing him to lift his Bankai restriction if necessary.

Su Feng and Nanao Ise investigated the disappearances in North Rukongai and found that a resident of Zaraki District had abnormal spiritual pressure. The resident’s corpse exploded after Nanao examined it, leaving Su Feng uncertain who was behind the incident.

• Su Feng chose Nanao Ise to accompany him to North Rukongai while Rangiku Matsumoto suspected something was amiss between them.
• Su Feng and Nanao searched the deserted districts and discussed how the disappearances resembled the earlier Hollowfication incident.
• In Zaraki District, a crazed resident attacked Su Feng and Nanao, and Nanao killed him with Hadō #4: Byakurai.
• Nanao discovered that the resident’s corpse held far more spiritual pressure than a soul of his potential should have contained.
• The corpse began to swell and split, so Su Feng moved Nanao away and raised Bakudo #39: Enkosen before the body exploded.

Su Feng and Nanao Ise investigated a series of explosive attacks in Zaraki District and encountered former Squad 3 Captain Takehara Kazuhiro, now a member of the Rebel Army. Takehara threatened them and offered Su Feng the choice to join him or die.

• Su Feng examined the crater left by a resident’s explosion and concluded that the blasts could be killing Shinigami investigators.
• Su Feng and Nanao Ise continued deeper into Zaraki District, where unstable reishi currents threatened to consume the surrounding buildings.
• Nanao Ise destroyed one reishi current with Hado #63: Raikoho, but strange purple powder appeared and drew spiritual pressure from Su Feng’s Enkosen barrier before vanishing.
• Takehara Kazuhiro confronted Su Feng, mocked his strength, and was identified as a former Squad 3 Captain aligned with the Rebel Army.
• Takehara Kazuhiro demanded that Su Feng kill Nanao Ise and join the Rebel Army or let him kill them both.

Su Feng fought Takehara Kazuhiro, a former Squad 3 captain whose hatred of nobles and the Ise Family had driven him to defect. After overpowering Takehara Kazuhiro’s Shikai with Storm Howl, Su Feng pierced his chest, but Takehara Kazuhiro survived and began releasing his Bankai.

• Takehara Kazuhiro explained that he had defected to avoid marrying into the Ise Family and declared that nobles should die, then attacked Su Feng after Nanao Ise withdrew from the battlefield.
• Su Feng outmatched Takehara Kazuhiro’s swordsmanship and clashed with him, provoking him by calling his hatred jealousy.
• Takehara Kazuhiro released Poison Dust and used its poisonous particles to amplify Hadō #54: Haien, but Su Feng unleashed Storm Howl’s Celestial Phenomenon Advent to destroy the attack.
• Su Feng pierced Takehara Kazuhiro’s chest with Storm Howl, but Takehara Kazuhiro survived and admitted he had underestimated Su Feng.
• Takehara Kazuhiro raised Poison Dust and began his Bankai, Kodo Tenso.
