THE LIGHT

Candice Catnipp's lightning fells several of Kenpachi's men, and their comrades curse her as they cradle the dead. When she readies another strike, Kenpachi flashes in behind her, but she slips away and wreathes him in lightning; Meninas McAllon then hammers him into a crater. Candice marvels that he still moves at all after facing Gremmy.

As the surviving Shinigami rally around their captain, Liltotto Lamperd blocks them, calling it fair to exploit the weakened state of a Special War Power, and conjures an enormous mouth that devours them by the handful while complaining they taste poor. Kenpachi's attempt to warn the others off draws another of Candice's bolts, and Meninas drops a whole building onto the men rushing to his side, telling them it is pointless to save a captain who is already dying.

Elsewhere, Giselle Gewelle claims she has no real combat power and urges the Shinigami to help Kenpachi instead, but one slashes her across the chest anyway. Rather than fall, she reveals that her blood turns any it touches into obedient corpses, and she orders the splattered soldiers to end their own lives. The four Bambies gather around the immobile Kenpachi, who wonders if this is his end, and bicker over who should finish him, until an explosion erupts in the sky overhead.

The four Bambies overwhelm the Eleventh Division: Candice with lightning, Meninas with raw strength, and Liltotto by eating soldiers whole. Giselle reveals that her blood converts the wounded into corpses under her command and turns slain Shinigami against themselves. As the four surround the crippled Kenpachi to finish him, an explosion in the sky interrupts them.

This chapter closes Volume 64, DEATH IN VISION, whose cover belongs to Gremmy Thoumeaux. Its events were adapted in Episode 387, The Headless Star. The following volume is MARCHING OUT THE ZOMBIES.
