Recovery and reprisal run side by side. Keigo's sister happily takes in two wounded Shinigami, healers mend the fallen across Karakura Town, and inside Las Noches, Tosen makes a brutal example of Grimmjow while Aizen quietly reveals how little the night's losses mean to his plan.
Summary
Home at last with a bloodied Ikkaku Madarame and an untouched Yumichika Ayasegawa in tow, Keigo Asano braces for his sister's temper, only for Mizuho Asano to gleefully welcome the pair in, confessing a soft spot for close-cropped heads. Her slip in calling Ikkaku shaven rather than bald earns Keigo a warning slash of his hair. Elsewhere, Tessai Tsukabishi and Kisuke Urahara nurse Ururu Tsumugiya, while Orihime Inoue closes Rukia Kuchiki's wounds under Ichigo Kurosaki's downcast gaze.
Key Events
Within Aizen's throne room, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez refuses any apology for his unsanctioned raid. Sosuke Aizen shrugs the defiance off as excess zeal, but Kaname Tosen begs leave to punish him and, arguing that killing without cause is mere murder, shears away Grimmjow's left arm before reducing the severed limb to ash with Haien. Aizen stays the Espada's furious retaliation, and Grimmjow storms out in contempt.
