The Scissors

Yylfordt flings the impaled Ururu from his horn, and a furious Jinta catches her midair and cracks his club against the bull's skull to no effect. When Yylfordt lunges to gore Jinta too, Renji blocks the horn with a segment of Hihio Zabimaru and shouts for Jinta to flee, only for the Arrancar to punch the horn straight through the segment and into Renji's chest. He tosses the skewered lieutenant aside, laughs, and introduces himself as Arrancar number fifteen now that he considers the fight won.

Elsewhere, Hitsugaya drops onto Shawlong with a stabbing blow from Daiguren Hyorinmaru, but the Arrancar shrugs it off and even catches the follow-up tail strike on his sword, shattering the ice that forms. Shawlong points out that the ice flower behind Hitsugaya is falling apart, deducing it tracks the energy left in an imperfect, still-maturing Bankai that a young captain cannot sustain in a drawn-out fight. With the petals down to three from twelve, he could simply wait, but out of respect he chooses to strike at full force instead. Setting his sword between his hands, he releases his Resurrección, Tijereta, emerging with long blade-like claws, an armored carapace, and a pointed tail. He slashes Hitsugaya before the captain can even react and names himself Arrancar number eleven, as Rangiku grips her communicator on the rooftop below beside an oblivious Nakeem.

Part of Volume 24, IMMANENT GOD BLUES, in the Arrancar arc, and adapted into Episode 120, Hitsugaya Scatters! The Broken Hyorinmaru. The chapter reveals the limits of Hitsugaya's underdeveloped Bankai through Shawlong's analysis of the disintegrating ice flower, and debuts Shawlong's clawed release, Tijereta.
