Chapter 343 turns Yammy loose on his own side. The hulking Arrancar batters Loly and Menoly aside and sets his sights on Orihime, until Uryu breaks through the pillar wall and stops him cold with an Arrancar-killing mine of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's design.
Summary
Yammy Llargo hauls himself out of the wreckage, greets Ulquiorra, and offers to deal with Ichigo, whom he notices has grown stronger. Ulquiorra instead orders him off to Karakura Town to handle the captains there. Spotting Loly, Orihime, and Menoly, Yammy slams Menoly into a wall and asks what they are doing, to which Ulquiorra dryly suggests he ask them himself. When Yammy reaches for Loly, she draws a hidden Zanpakuto and slashes his hand in defense.
Key Events
Loly releases her blade and swears to kill both Yammy and Ulquiorra, but Yammy swats her down, lifts her by one hand, and drives her into the pillar wall before dropping her limp body down the shaft. He then turns back and asks Ulquiorra whether he may finally kill Orihime. At that instant Uryu Ishida emerges from a hole he has smashed in the wall and puts an arrow into Yammy's shoulder. Yammy shrugs off the shot, but a single step forward triggers a violent blast, and Uryu reveals the floor is seeded with mines that Mayuri Kurotsuchi built for use specifically against Arrancar.
