Summary

When Ichigo goes still and grips the broken hilt as if to sheathe it, Zangetsu urges him once more to abandon fear and shout his name. Ichigo obeys, and a surge of spiritual pressure erupts as he wheels around and fires an unintended Getsuga Tensho that rips between the surrounding rocks, forcing Tessai to shield the children.

From the settling dust, Ichigo rises with his released Shikai, a blade lacking any hilt or guard, buried in the ground. Urahara steps up to resume lesson three, but Ichigo warns him to dodge, admitting he cannot rein the weapon in. He swings down a second, tighter Getsuga Tensho, and Urahara barely survives behind his Chikasumi no Tate shield, losing half his hat's brim and, by his own reckoning, nearly an arm. Surveying the ravine the attack carved, Urahara calls the sleeping Ichigo a frightening kid and declares the third lesson passed.

Elsewhere, a winded Uryu dissolves his spirit bow and thanks Soken while studying his Sanrei Glove. In a Karakura building, Sado blasts through a wall with his Fullbring arm, celebrating with Orihime, before an exasperated Yoruichi hurries them out the back as sirens close in.
