The Burnt Offerings opens a volume on the captains' darkest hour. Hitsugaya and Sui-Feng both fall, Mayuri stands alone among the Bankai-less, and Urahara's voice cuts in with the answer everyone has been waiting for.
Summary
Bleeding from Bazz-B's strike, Hitsugaya freezes his wound shut and runs, cloaking himself in icy fog and seeding the ground with a six-sigil trap. Bazz-B thaws it away, then carves through the captain with Burner Finger 2, snapping his sword and dropping him. Cang Du lands to claim the kill, invoking the pact that leaves each captain to whoever robbed him of his Bankai. Not far off, Sui-Feng lies buried beneath BG9's blast.
Inside his shadowless laboratory, Mayuri registers two captain-level presences winking out, Hitsugaya's and Sui-Feng's, and grimly notes that he alone can still fight without a Bankai. Before the thought can settle, Kisuke Urahara opens a line to him, cheerful as ever, and announces that he has finished a way to reclaim the stolen Bankai.
High in the Soul King Palace, Ichigo forces himself down the punishing path of the Irazu Sando, the pressure mounting with every step. Ichibe'e Hyosube recites a solemn verse about a weight that grinds the unworthy into gravel and dust, and about a road that exists only for those who never walk it, the passage the dying come to know.
