Summary

Love Aikawa and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi corner Coyote Starrk, whose grief over Baraggan's death leaves him sluggish and reluctant. Love releases Tengumaru and lands heavy blows, reading the Espada's shaken state, while the pistol-bound Lilynette Gingerbuck goads Starrk into fighting seriously. As the two Visored coordinate their released blades and Hollow masks, Love drives Starrk down with Hifuki no Kodzuchi and Rose answers his Ceros with Kinshara. Elsewhere, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Lisa Yadōmaru, and Hiyori Sarugaki wear down Tier Harribel, the two Visored making clear they fight independently rather than as a team.

Pressed by opponents whose power spikes behind their masks, Starrk finally accepts he cannot win alone. Lilynette reminds him they have always stood together, and he disperses his pistols to summon Los Lobos, a pack of exploding wolves formed from his and Lilynette's split soul. Love and Rose hack at the beasts to little effect, taking severe damage as the warheads detonate and shatter their masks. Starrk offers his battered foes a chance to flee, and when Love refuses, he drops down to finish them, only for a sword to erupt through his chest from behind, wielded by an unseen attacker.
