Chapter 625 reunites Ichigo with old rivals and allies as Grimmjow and Nelliel spar over their Espada pride. Riruka and Yukio then unveil a hidden elevator that will smuggle the group into the Soul King Palace, just as Yhwach finishes consuming the Soul King and begins to change.
Summary
Grimmjow springs from the Garganta to renew his rivalry, slashing the ground and boasting he would never die before finishing Ichigo, only for Nelliel to barrel in and wreck the moment. Now able to hold her adult body thanks to a bracelet from Urahara, she and Grimmjow instantly bicker over their old Espada rankings, which Grimmjow dismisses as worthless now that Aizen is gone.
Key Events
Riruka cuts the squabble short over a speaker and reveals a box-shaped elevator, along with Yukio, whose Fullbring built it. Once everyone is aboard, Yoruichi lays out the plan: the Dangai is ringed by lost-soul pockets called Valleys of Screams, which stay stable enough to stand in without spending Reiatsu. Using Riruka's Dollhouse and Yukio's Digital Radial Invaders, Urahara sealed one such valley inside an elevator that travels between two markers she planted, letting them ambush the Wandenreich without being sensed.
