The volume's title chapter opens with Orihime and Sado cornered by Hiyori and Shinji, then follows Ichigo as he broods over the inner Hollow gnawing at him and Karin reveals she knows his secret. It closes on a park in Karakura where Ulquiorra and Yammy, the first fully realized Arrancar, crash down out of the sky.
Summary
Hiyori bluntly introduces herself to Orihime and Sado, needling them over the flattering kanji in their names before smacking Shinji and writing the two teenagers off as good as dead. She reaches for her sword, but a panicked Shinji scoops her up and flees, apologizing as he runs, and Sado holds Orihime back from a chase that would only get them killed. High over the town, Hiyori grumbles that she hates both Humans and Shinigami, and Shinji once more urges patience.
At home, Ichigo absorbs his father's flying elbow without flinching and crashes into the wall, alarming the family before he retreats to his room. There he broods over the inner Hollow that has been calling to him ever since his duel with Byakuya, its mask returning no matter how many times he throws it away, and he concedes he needs no warning to know it could swallow him. Karin then quietly reveals that she knows her brother is a Shinigami. Far off in the Seireitei, the Research Institute pinpoints a disturbance in eastern Karakura, and a crater bursts open in a local park to reveal Ulquiorra Cifer and Yammy Llargo, Ulquiorra baring the Hollow hole at his throat.
