Hear. Fear. Here 2

Standing a few meters back from the frozen As Nodt, Rukia carefully warms herself again, aware that her tissue will break down if she rushes it, and a small cut on her thumb tells her she lingered a fraction too long at absolute zero. A sudden chill of alarm turns her around: the ice sheathing As shatters, tearing flesh from his face, and he scorns the idea that this is fear, since the only thing he dreads is Yhwach's displeasure. His eye rolls back to bare a Wandenreich crest as he calls up his Quincy: Vollstandig, Tatarforas, stitched down his length and crowned with a barbed halo and wings.

When Rukia lunges and slashes, her blade keeps stopping short, which As blames on fear rooting her feet, though she protests that her body is still dead. He points out that her sight remains, and Tatarforas plants terror through the optic nerves: she finds herself trapped inside a dome of diamond plates, each one an enormous watching eye. Shutting her eyes only makes it worse, he claims, because a fear met once burns deeper in the dark, and she is soon seeing Ichigo, Orihime, and Byakuya with blank black eyes, screaming as As promises to sear her soul with old terrors. The torment breaks when the dome is cut open from behind him, spilling countless blade petals and revealing Byakuya Kuchiki poised in the air.

The chapter escalates the fear duel of the Thousand-Year Blood War and brings Byakuya Kuchiki to Rukia's rescue. It was adapted into episode 385, The White Haze. Present are Rukia Kuchiki and As Nodt, with Yhwach, Zangetsu, Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Orihime Inoue in flashback, followed by Byakuya's arrival.
