Hitsugaya offers Yukio his life for shutting down the game, sealing him in ice with minutes to comply, while Ikkaku weathers a broken Hōzukimaru and Moe's fickle luck to drop the Fullbringer with a single headbutt.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
To Yukio's surprise, Hitsugaya shields him from the pursuing monsters, then swiftly encases him in ice with only his head and one arm left free. Suspecting the pocket world might linger even if its creator dies, the captain offers Yukio his life in exchange for shutting down the Fullbring within five minutes.
Meanwhile, Moe grows exasperated with Ikkaku, who calmly hovers in midair. Their exchange resumes and Moe shatters Hōzukimaru, forcing Ikkaku into bare-handed combat. As they trade strikes, Moe cannot fathom how the battered Shinigami keeps pressing forward. When one of his hits lands without setting off his lucky windfall, Moe works out that firing the ability in quick succession steadily lowers the odds of it paying off. He connects with a genuine jackpot on his next attempt, but Ikkaku grabs him and delivers a headbutt that leaves him crumpled on the ground, after which Ikkaku proclaims himself the Gotei 13's luckiest man.
Key Events
Hitsugaya freezes Yukio and gives him five minutes to disable his Fullbring. Moe breaks Hōzukimaru but discovers his luck ability weakens with repeated use, and Ikkaku downs him with a headbutt.
