• Yhwach and Aizen exchanged destructive Reiatsu attacks that made Soul Society tremble.

Aizen fought Yhwach but could not overcome his control of the past, present, and future, so he stalled until Yamabuki Chidori arrived. Chidori took Yhwach to Hell to prevent their battle from destroying Soul Society, and the two prepared to fight.

• Aizen wounded Yhwach with Hadō and Kyōka Suigetsu, but Yhwach used his powers over time and rejection to injure him and consume his body.

Yamabuki Chidori defeated Yhwach, returned to Soul Society, and arranged for Aizen to become the new Soul King before retiring. Ten years later, Chidori enjoyed a quiet life with Yoruichi and his daughter, Yamabuki Kajin, whose blunt answer about why she liked girls startled them.
