Summary

Isane wakes and is told to rest as her captain, Unohana, brings her manta-like Shikai Minazuki down into a Seireitei street. The creature disgorges the injured it had been healing in its stomach, among them Omaeda, Chojiro, and Kiyone, then folds back into its sealed form. Sensing that someone still fights on Sokyoku Hill, Isane learns that Ichigo is battling Byakuya, and Unohana, judging that they cannot halt the captains who have left, asks Isane to accompany her elsewhere.

In the forest, a single leaf is sliced apart between the clashing kicks of Yoruichi and Sui-Feng, who each accuse the other of losing their edge. Sui-Feng recognizes the Shihoin crest on Ichigo's Tentoken and mocks the clan for its coming fall from the Noble Houses, then reveals that she now leads both the Onmitsukido and the Keigun. She stabs her sword into a branch and dozens of Keigun appear, since a drawn blade from their commander signals an execution. Yoruichi routs every one of them with Shunpo so fast she leaves afterimages, and points out that she may have left her post but never surrendered her title. Sui-Feng names her the Flash Goddess and strips off her haori, exposing the sleeveless Keisen Shozoku beneath.

Far away in a ruined district of the Third Old City, Shunsui and Ukitake settle on ground remote enough to spare bystanders. Nanao arrives to Shunsui's teasing, but her relief turns to alarm when she spots Yamamoto already seated behind the two captains. Rising, he warns that his prey never escapes and that this time they will not get away with a mere beating.
