In this Volume 41 chapter, Hitsugaya reveals an ice-clone trick to survive Harribel's release, while Baraggan corners Suì-Fēng, unveils that his aspect of death is old age, and rots the flesh from her arm before releasing his skull-headed Resurrección.
Summary
The severed half of Hitsugaya's body drops to the ground amid a spray of blood, and Harribel coldly warns Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the head captain, that he is her next target, vowing to avenge the Fracción he slew. She has no chance to act. A fully intact Hitsugaya slashes at her face, and when she counters, he vaults over her blade. The cracking air around him reveals itself as ice: the captain had left a frozen decoy in her path, a trick he warns he can pull only once.
Key Events
Elsewhere, Baraggan Louisenbairn presses Suì-Fēng and Marechiyo Ōmaeda, one sweep of his weapon cleaving an entire building in half. Every kick Suì-Fēng aims at his head mysteriously slows before it lands, and he seizes her leg and flings her onto a rooftop. Puzzling over the effect, she cannot pin down his ability until he explains it himself: each Espada personifies a facet of death, and his is old age, which he calls the surest and therefore mightiest of them all.
Notes
To prove the point, Baraggan lays a hand on Suì-Fēng's shoulder, boasting that a single touch can wither her very bones; her arm shatters and terror crosses her face. He then speaks the release command, Rot, Arrogante! and emerges transformed, a crowned skull for a head and dark robes draping his frame. The chapter feeds into Episode 274, Hitsugaya, the Suicidal Frozen Heavens Hundred Flowers Funeral! and Episode 275, The Approaching Breath of Death, the King Who Rules Over Death!
