Summary

On one corner of the field, Lilynette Gingerbuck throws herself at Jūshirō Ukitake again and again, and every attempt falls flat. The captain has bested her countless times without ever meaning to kill her, treating their encounters as a kind of training by denying her the use of her own blade. So one-sided is the mismatch that Lilynette ends up in tears even as she keeps fighting.

Key Events

Elsewhere, Baraggan Louisenbairn moves in to end Ōmaeda with his Gran Caída, only to stop short when he feels the enormous energy pouring off Suì-Fēng's released Bankai. He turns to face her instead.

Notes

Suì-Fēng steps forward and admits why she rarely calls upon Jakuhō Raikōben: the weapon is too bulky, heavy, and showy to suit an assassin. Even so, she fires its missile-like projectile straight at Baraggan, and the resulting blast is enormous. Whether the Espada survived is left unanswered. The chapter, which lends the volume its title, was adapted in Episode 276, One Hit Kill, Suì-Fēng, Bankai!
