3 vs. 1 Battle! Rangiku's Crisis

Exhausted and unable to counter, Rangiku is battered by Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun until Momo Hinamori appears and scatters the Fracción with a ball of fire. Momo declares she now fights as the Fifth Division lieutenant and treats Aizen as an enemy, though Rangiku notices she still slips and refers to him as Captain Aizen. Combining her Kidō with Tobiume, Momo snares all three opponents in a net wired to her badge and detonates it, impressing Rangiku with how sharply her skills have grown.

Nearby fights run in parallel. Hitsugaya stays locked with Harribel, his focus wavering when he senses Momo, while Shunsui Kyōraku spars with Coyote Starrk and finally admits he wields both a long and a short blade. Ukitake declines to raise his sword against the child-like Lilynette, who draws on him anyway, and he urges Shunsui to bring out his second sword against Starrk.

The Fracción refuse to stay down. Entering their Resurrección forms, they heal their wounds, overwhelm the two lieutenants with a massive Cero, and then chant the incantation Quimera Parca, fusing energy drawn from their severed left arms. From the collision rises Ayon, a towering chimera that leaves Rangiku and Momo stunned.

Momo Hinamori joins Rangiku's fight and openly renounces Aizen. Momo binds and detonates the three Fracción with a combined Kidō and Tobiume technique. Harribel's Fracción enter their Resurrección forms, healing and powering up. The trio performs Quimera Parca to create the beast Ayon.

This entry adapts Chapters 333 through 335 during the Fake Karakura Town arc and concludes the three-on-one clash. Released abilities include Rangiku's Haineko, Hitsugaya's Hyōrinmaru, Momo's Tobiume, and the Fracción forms Cierva, Leona, and Anaconda. A Shinigami Zanpakutō Introductions segment has Renji explain Shūhei Hisagi's blade, Kazeshini, which its wielder dislikes for looking built to reap lives.
