While Riruka recounts how each member of Xcution came to follow Ginjō, Rukia seizes the opening to freeze her captor's leg, only for a stray sneeze to free her right into the reach of Riruka's horned arm and a new ability.
Summary
Still trapped inside the plush toy, Rukia listens as Riruka lays out the pasts of the various Xcution members and how each of them came to fall in behind Ginjō. The distraction hands Rukia an opening: she calls up her Zanpakutō's first dance, Some no mai, Tsukishiro, and freezes Riruka's left leg solid. A sudden sneeze from Riruka expels Rukia from the toy, and the Fullbringer at once drives the horns on her arm into Rukia's chest, unleashing yet another of her powers on the lieutenant.
Key Events
Riruka narrates the backstories of Xcution's members. Rukia frees herself enough to freeze Riruka's leg with Some no mai, Tsukishiro, but Riruka's sneeze releases her, and she stabs Rukia with the horns on her arm to trigger a new ability.
