Ichigo's runaway Fullbring erupts into a black cloak even Jackie has never seen, just as Tsukishima crashes the hideout to hunt him down. When the intruder splits open the tank, Ichigo rises wreathed in energy shaped like a soul reaper's robes.
Summary
As Jackie marvels at how battle has honed Ichigo's instincts, a strange energy overtakes him and dark Reiatsu pours from his badge to swallow his body. She tries to halt the session, warning his power is spiraling beyond control, but he ignores her and his own force pins her down as he insists he has a grip on it. Outside, Kugo assures Sado that Tsukishima's Book of the End does nothing but cut through anything it touches, dismissing any tie to Orihime's confusion, and stresses that Fullbrings do not evolve on their own.
He adds that the real test is whether Uryu suffered the same memory distortion as Orihime, since a match would point to Tsukishima and a mismatch would clear him. At that moment Tsukishima himself tears the door from its frame, greets the group, and homes in on the tank hiding Jackie and Ichigo. Ignoring Kugo's shout, he cleaves it open, releasing a surge of black Reiatsu, and Ichigo rises from it draped in energy that takes the form of a Shinigami's robes.
Key Events
Ichigo's Fullbring evolves violently into a clad form, overpowering Jackie during training. Kugo explains that Book of the End only severs objects, insisting Fullbrings cannot spontaneously grow stronger. Tsukishima invades the hideout and shatters the tank, drawing out Ichigo's newly transformed power.
