Summary

Irritated by how his captain treats him even as he tries to help, Ōmaeda earns a swift punch to the face and a stern lesson on what belonging to the Onmitsukidō truly demands. Ggio hauls himself up from the wreckage, and Suì-Fēng promises to demonstrate a genuine assassination. He roars at her not to look down on him and calls up the true shape of his released form, but before he can act she runs him through twice, striking his chest and his back, and he fades from sight, dead.

Key Events

Ōmaeda, delighted, wonders whether her weapon can bring death in two blows even when they land in different places. Suì-Fēng corrects him: both thrusts pierced exactly the same point, driving through Ggio's lung twice over. Captain and lieutenant then turn to confront Baraggan. In the other struggle, Matsumoto remains locked with Sung-Sun, Mila Rose, and Apacci, plainly unable to overcome all three Fracción by herself. Apacci demands she summon Hitsugaya to liven things up, and when Matsumoto attacks she is swatted aside. The two trade blows one on one, Apacci growing more furious at each of Matsumoto's fruitless efforts. Just before Apacci can land a hit, a huge sphere of flame slams into her, and Matsumoto turns to recognize the newcomer who shielded her.
