As the dust of Suì-Fēng's Bankai settles, this chapter turns to Starrk, who reveals the strange truth that he and Lilynette are two halves of one Arrancar before merging back together in his released form.
Summary
Suì-Fēng's released Bankai seems to land squarely on Baraggan, and the detonation is so violent it hurls both the captain and her lieutenant backward. Her sash tears loose in the shockwave, and Ōmaeda catches her before she falls.
Key Events
Having just witnessed the released power of both Hitsugaya and Suì-Fēng, Coyote Starrk turns to Shunsui Kyōraku and asks whether every captain's Bankai carries that kind of force, and whether Kyōraku's own outmatches Hitsugaya's. Kyōraku deflects, calling the tenth Division's captain a prodigy who might, in a hundred years, surpass even him.
