Chapter Summaries

Ginrei Kuchiki explained that the escaped Kuchiki Koga could incite Zanpakuto to betray their masters, and the captains organized a search for the rebellious weapons. Su Feng and Rangiku Matsumoto prepared to patrol, while Soi Fon hurried off to find Suzumebachi, weighed down by resentment.

• Ginrei Kuchiki revealed that Kuchiki Koga had escaped his seal and could turn Zanpakuto against their wielders.
• Yamamoto Genryusai ordered the captains to patrol the Seireitei and Rukongai and told Mayuri Kurotsuchi to activate spiritual-pressure monitoring.
• Mayuri Kurotsuchi warned that the equipment might not detect Zanpakuto concealing their spiritual pressure, so the patrols and captains' senses remained the main strategy.
• Rangiku Matsumoto told Su Feng that she could no longer sense Haineko, and Su Feng explained that the captains had no better plan than searching the Seireitei.
• Soi Fon passed Su Feng and Rangiku Matsumoto, felt envious of Rangiku's figure, and hurried to find the rebellious Suzumebachi.

Su Feng interrupted Ikkaku Madarame’s fight with the materialized Hōzukimaru, then questioned Hōzukimaru about who had awakened him. Hōzukimaru knew nothing, so Su Feng ordered him to recover and join the patrol as unrest spread through Soul Society.

• Ikkaku Madarame gained the upper hand against Hōzukimaru, but Su Feng arrived and kicked Hōzukimaru into the surrounding mountains.
• Su Feng questioned Hōzukimaru, who said he did not know who had awakened him or what they looked like.

• Su Feng told Ikkaku Madarame and Hōzukimaru to patrol and capture any rebellious Zanpakuto they encountered.
• Ikkaku Madarame became excited at the prospect of fighting during the unrest.

Su Feng and the Ninth Division fought to contain the widespread Zanpakuto rebellion across the Seireitei. After helping Satoya defeat Gyaku-bashira, Su Feng left Yanagawa Ki still struggling against Sōitachi.

• Su Feng sent Rangiku Matsumoto east and went west to suppress the battles breaking out across the Ninth Division Barracks.
• Rangiku used Shakkahō to overwhelm rebel Zanpakuto, while Nanao Ise bound several with Bakudo #9: Geki so their owners could defeat them.
• Su Feng sought out the rebels belonging to seated officers and found Yanagawa Ki fighting Sōitachi, whose flames kept him at a disadvantage.
• Satoya's Shikai, Gyaku-bashira, surrounded him with burning pillars that attacked, and Su Feng struck it with Byakurai.
• Satoya followed Su Feng's attack with Shakkahō and destroyed Gyaku-bashira.

Su Feng helped suppress the Zanpakuto rebellion in the Ninth Division and ordered the Kuchiki Family to pay for the damage. Meanwhile, Aizen invited Gin Ichimaru to witness Soul Society’s history, leaving the larger conspiracy unresolved.

• Su Feng struck down Sōitachi with Byakurai, allowing Satoya and Yanagawa Ki to subdue their Zanpakuto and support the other battles.
• Su Feng used his lightning-enhanced Kido to defeat rebel Zanpakuto across the Ninth Division as reinforcements stabilized the fighting.
• At the Fifth Division Barracks, Gin told Aizen about Kuchiki Koga’s unstable condition and Shinsō’s attack on him.
• Aizen invited Gin to witness the truth of Soul Society’s history, and Gin accepted.
• After the Ninth Division’s unrest was suppressed, Su Feng ordered Satoya to visit the Kuchiki Family and collect compensation for the damage.

Su Feng came across Soi Fon battling her rebellious Zanpakuto, Suzumebachi, and intervened when Suzumebachi gained the upper hand. After his overwhelming spiritual pressure frightened her, Suzumebachi tried to flee as Su Feng unleashed a sweeping wind attack.

• Su Feng left the Ninth Division Barracks and spotted Soi Fon chasing Suzumebachi through Seireitei.
• Suzumebachi mocked Soi Fon and marked her with Hornet Mark while exploiting her distraction over a woman who had left years earlier.
• Suzumebachi nearly struck Soi Fon again, but Su Feng’s gale blew her away before she could land the attack.
• Suzumebachi taunted Su Feng, and he enraged her with a remark about her appearance.
• Su Feng overwhelmed Suzumebachi with his spiritual pressure, but she broke free and tried to escape.
• Su Feng drew his Zanpakuto and unleashed a violent wind that swallowed everything ahead.

Su Feng defeated Suzumebachi and learned that rebellious Zanpakuto had destroyed the Maggot’s Nest barrier, putting the Soul Society’s prisoners at risk. He took the embarrassed Soi Fon back toward Squad 2, while she wrestled with her frustration at feeling weak.

• Su Feng overwhelmed Suzumebachi with a gale and lightning, leaving her unconscious and charred.
• Soi Fon thanked Su Feng and reported that Squad 2 had finished its battles, but Tōzen'e’s Zanpakuto had joined other rebels and destroyed the Maggot’s Nest Kido Barrier.
• Su Feng suggested using Squad 2 to search for the mastermind, Kuchiki Koga, and Muramasa, then wondered whether someone else was manipulating the captains.
• Soi Fon prepared to return to Squad 2, and Su Feng covered her damaged clothes with his haori before carrying her over his shoulder with Shunpo.
• As Su Feng carried her through the streets, Soi Fon thought bitterly about her weakness and Yoruichi Shihoin’s departure.

Su Feng helped Soi Fon contain a breakout at the Maggot’s Nest, testing and defeating Tōzen'e’s Cloud Demon before the two captains subdued the escaped criminals. With the Nest’s Kido Barrier destroyed and the Kido Corps unavailable, Su Feng offered to set up a temporary barrier.

• Su Feng entered Soi Fon’s quarters through the window, learned the Maggot’s Nest was northwest, and left to help contain the breakout.
• Su Feng’s Byakurai attacks strengthened Tōzen'e’s Cloud Demon, but a Raikōhō made the creature erupt and scatter.
• Soi Fon arrived, ordered Tōzen'e to handle the aftermath, and joined Su Feng in suppressing the escaped criminals.
• Soi Fon reported that the Maggot’s Nest’s Kido Barrier was destroyed, and Su Feng offered to create a temporary one.

Su Feng sealed the Maggot's Nest with a powerful Kido Barrier and sent Squad 2 members to search for missing Zanpakuto. Meanwhile, Aizen and Gin Ichimaru entered the Great Spirit Book Corridor to investigate Soul Society's history, where they found an empty bookshelf.

• Su Feng used Bakudo #81: Danku to enclose the Maggot's Nest in a barrier, then ordered Squad 2 to search the area for Zanpakuto and endangered squad members.
• Soi Fon recognized Su Feng's skill across the four combat disciplines and privately considered learning from him to increase her strength.
• Aizen and Gin Ichimaru descended beneath the Underground Council Chamber and discussed the Great Spirit Book Corridor, which recorded information about Soul Society.
• Aizen opened the forbidden gate to the vast archive and took Gin to a floor where he expected to find information from a particular year.
• Gin urged Aizen to hurry, but Aizen stopped at an empty bookshelf.

Aizen and Gin Ichimaru found the shelf containing Tsunayashiro Su Feng’s life story empty, then discovered books about Kisuke Urahara below. In West Rukongai, Haineko’s materialization turned Rangiku Matsumoto’s attempt to subdue her into a jealous contest over Su Feng, ending with Rangiku kissing him.

• Aizen found the shelf of books about Tsunayashiro Su Feng empty and continued searching with Gin Ichimaru.
• Aizen selected a book bearing Kisuke Urahara’s name from the next shelf.
• Rangiku Matsumoto tracked down Haineko with Bakudo No. 58, Gakushi Tsuishou, and fought her until Su Feng arrived.
• Haineko abandoned Rangiku Matsumoto, clung to Su Feng, and blamed Rangiku’s hesitation and failed drugging for her betrayal.
• Su Feng ordered Haineko back into her Zanpakuto, but she kissed his cheek before returning, then ignored Rangiku’s attempt to summon her.
• Rangiku Matsumoto grew jealous and kissed Su Feng on the lips.

Su Feng and Rangiku Matsumoto were interrupted after an intimate moment by reports that Ryujin Jakka had appeared in East Rukongai. Su Feng joined Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake at Nigoku District, where they combined their attacks to suppress the flames.

• Su Feng kissed Rangiku Matsumoto back before Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s call summoned the Captains and Lieutenants to East Rukongai.
• Su Feng and Rangiku Matsumoto arrived at Nigoku District, where Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake were fighting Ryujin Jakka’s flames.
• Su Feng unleashed powerful tornadoes that sealed off the flames and lowered the battlefield’s heat.
• Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake prepared a combined strike, with Ukitake amplifying Zanka no Tachi through his Zanpakuto.
• Su Feng, Shunsui Kyoraku, and Jushiro Ukitake struck together, unleashing a massive attack across Nigoku District.

Su Feng and the other captains contained Ryujin Jakka, while Muramasa and Kuchiki Koga unleashed rebel Zanpakuto on Noble District. Su Feng arrived to fight Tenken as the rebels gathered around him.

• Su Feng, Shunsui Kyoraku, and Jushiro Ukitake suppressed Ryujin Jakka inside a Kido Barrier, then Kyoraku and Ukitake stayed to guard it while Su Feng returned to the Seireitei with Rangiku.
• Su Feng contacted Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and the unrest elsewhere in Soul Society was brought under control as the captains' Zanpakuto were subdued.
• Kuchiki Koga ordered Muramasa to destroy Noble District, and Muramasa's power sent rebel Zanpakuto rampaging through the area.
• Shinsō and other Zanpakuto wrecked much of Noble District as noble families and Soul Reapers fought back.
• Su Feng arrived, struck Tenken with Byakurai, then kicked it into distant ruins after it tried to explain itself.
• The rebel Zanpakuto converged on Su Feng and surrounded him with their spiritual pressure.

Su Feng faced a swarm of rebellious Zanpakuto before Kuchiki Koga confronted him and used Muramasa’s ability. The ability had no effect on Su Feng, leaving Koga confused.

• Dozens of Zanpakuto attacked Su Feng at once, but he escaped the barrage and blocked a fireball with Bakudō #31: Enkōsen.
• Kuchiki Koga approached Su Feng and mistook him for a Kuchiki clansman because of his Kenseikan.
• Koga described his resentment toward Soul Society and the Kuchiki Family, while Su Feng said he was glad the Kuchiki estate had been ruined.
• Koga activated Muramasa’s Shikai to make Su Feng’s Zanpakuto rebel, but nothing happened.
• Koga looked at Muramasa in alarm, unable to understand why its power had failed.

Su Feng let Muramasa’s power wash over Storm Howl, hoping to draw out his Zanpakuto, but it remained unresponsive. After the captains arrived and dealt with other rebellious Zanpakuto, Su Feng faced Kuchiki Koga alone, and the chapter ended with Koga wondering whether Su Feng was Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s new heir.

• Muramasa tried to provoke Storm Howl into rebelling, but Su Feng’s Zanpakuto did not respond.
• Gin Ichimaru seized Shinsō and took him away, while Sajin Komamura confronted Kuchiki Koga as the captains arrived.
• Su Feng asked Isshin Shiba to subdue Engetsu and claimed Muramasa’s ability was ineffective against him.
• Retsu Unohana left Kuchiki Koga to Su Feng while the other captains went to handle the remaining rebellious Zanpakuto.
• Kuchiki Koga attacked Su Feng with Kongo Baku, but Su Feng’s hurricane swallowed the flames, making Koga suspect he was Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s new heir.

Su Feng fought Kuchiki Koga, countering his powerful Kido and Muramasa’s binding ability with his own techniques. After defeating Koga with a decisive cut, Su Feng passed judgment on him and declared his death.

• Kuchiki Koga attacked Su Feng with Gaki Rekko, but Su Feng’s Blade of Chasing Wind shattered the beams and forced Koga to defend with Danku.
• Kuchiki Koga unleashed Hyōga Seiran, and Su Feng countered it with One-Sword Style: Danku, breaking through the ice and snow.
• Kuchiki Koga used Muramasa to bind Su Feng with the Shadow Binding Technique and attacked, but Su Feng blocked the beams with Danku and broke free using Danfeng Yuyi.
• Su Feng rushed Kuchiki Koga and cut through a false body, then calmly declared that Koga had been sentenced to death.
• Kuchiki Koga tried to attack again but discovered a bloody line across his chest as spiritual pressure poured from his body.

Su Feng killed Kuchiki Koga, gained spiritual pressure, new Bakudo, and increased soul strength, then destroyed Muramasa before the Zanpakuto rebellion ended. Three days later, he met Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ginrei Kuchiki at the First Division, where they had invited him for an undisclosed purpose.

• Su Feng killed Kuchiki Koga with a Blade of Chasing Wind and gained spiritual pressure, three Bakudo techniques, and greater soul strength.
• Su Feng froze Kuchiki Koga and Muramasa with Hyōga Seiran, then destroyed Muramasa with two more Blades of Chasing Wind, restoring the Soul Reapers' connections to their Zanpakuto.
• Central 46 backed down from pursuing Kuchiki Koga's unauthorized killing after Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto identified Su Feng as the one responsible.
• Three days later, Su Feng visited the First Division in Tsunayashiro Family attire and joined Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ginrei Kuchiki for tea.
• Su Feng asked why Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Ginrei Kuchiki had invited him, but they had not yet revealed their purpose.

Ginrei Kuchiki and Yamamoto Genryusai asked Su Feng to join Byakuya Kuchiki in delivering a wedding gift to Shiba Kaien, hoping to improve relations among the noble clans. Yamamoto then assigned Su Feng to investigate reports of spiritually powerful humans in the Human World.

• Ginrei Kuchiki asked Su Feng for his thoughts on the Shiba Family, and Su Feng said they should bear the consequences of their choices.
• Yamamoto Genryusai revealed that Shiba Kaien had applied to the Gold Seal Council to marry and that Ginrei planned to send Byakuya Kuchiki to offer congratulations.
• Ginrei Kuchiki asked Su Feng to accompany Byakuya, offering to have the Kuchiki Family prepare the gift, and Su Feng agreed.
• Yamamoto Genryusai told Su Feng that reports had identified humans with high Spiritual Power in several Human World cities and assigned him to investigate.

Su Feng attended Shiba Kaien’s wedding before decisively defeating Byakuya Kuchiki in another Kendo match. A week later, Su Feng investigated a spiritual-pressure disturbance in Naruki City and discovered that an unknown attacker had erased a Hollow with a beam of spirit particles.

• Su Feng and Byakuya Kuchiki attended Shiba Kaien’s wedding at the Shiba Family estate and met Isshin Shiba, Ganju Shiba, and Shiba Kūkaku.
• On the journey back, Byakuya Kuchiki challenged Su Feng to a Kendo match without spiritual pressure, and Su Feng defeated him in under ten minutes.
• Su Feng passed through the Senkaimon to Naruki City to investigate an abnormal spiritual-pressure fluctuation, but the Shinigami Soldier assigned to meet him did not arrive.
• While wandering the city, Su Feng sensed a Hollow and watched an azure beam destroy it, erasing its soul completely.
• Su Feng suspected that Quincy remnants in the Human World had attacked the Hollow.

Su Feng confronted Uryū Sōken after he killed a Hollow and made him agree to stay in contact with the Soul Society. Uryū accepted the arrangement after Su Feng promised he could call stationed Shinigami to deal with Hollows instead of killing them himself.

• Uryū Sōken explained that he had killed the Hollow to avenge the human souls it devoured.
• Su Feng questioned Uryū about his family and learned that he had postponed his arranged marriage until he inherited the Quincy Cross.
• Su Feng spared Uryū but recorded his offense and required him to maintain communication with the Soul Society.
• Uryū agreed, fearing that breaking the agreement could bring disaster upon the Quincy.
• Su Feng told Uryū he could use a Communication Device to summon stationed Shinigami to deal with Hollows, and Uryū thanked him.

Su Feng gave Uryū Sōken a Communication Device and considered using his ties to the Wandenreich to reach their shadow space. After a Menos alarm drew them to Naruki City's Third District, Su Feng arrived to confront the Adjuchas Balak as it hunted a human soul.

• Su Feng introduced himself to Uryū Sōken as a Ninth Division captain and offered him permission to attack Hollows, hoping to use his potential connection to the Wandenreich.
• Ishikawa Naoto arrived, and Su Feng ordered him to give Uryū Sōken his Communication Device.
• Uryū Sōken spotted a Menos-level Spiritual Pressure alert, and Su Feng led Ishikawa Naoto and Uryū Sōken toward the Third District.
• Balak emerged from a Garganta, killed a human with his mane, and began eating the soul.
• Su Feng appeared before Balak, and his Spiritual Pressure weighed heavily on the Adjuchas.

A Quincy girl fought Balak, an Adjuchas whose rapid regeneration and powerful attacks made him difficult to defeat. Su Feng protected her from Balak’s Cero, then killed the Menos with a single wind blade.

• Balak survived the Quincy girl's attacks and regenerated, then trapped her in a Cero blast.
• Ishikawa Naoto trembled as he sensed the strength of the Adjuchas, while Su Feng asked Uryū Sōken about the Quincy girl's identity.
• Balak caught the girl with his mane and sent her crashing through a high-rise before firing another Cero at the ruins.
• Su Feng cast Bakudo #81: Danku to block the Cero and protect the girl.
• Su Feng struck Balak with a pale blue crescent-shaped wind blade, splitting the Adjuchas in two.
