Chapter 627 sees Ichigo bench Yukio and Riruka before the final push, thanking her for bending her power to their cause. When the elevator reaches the top of the Dangai, the group steps out into a rebuilt Quincy city, realizing Yhwach has remade the Soul King Palace entirely to his liking.
Summary
With the elevator nearing the top of the Dangai, Yukio declares he will stay behind, sparking a clash with Ganju over what it truly means to gamble one's life. Ichigo settles it by ordering both Yukio and Riruka to remain, reasoning their talents would not survive the fight ahead. He quietly thanks Riruka, whose Dollhouse only accepts things she finds cute, for forcing it to hold something as grim as a Valley of Screams, and asks her to stay ready to pull the team out.
Key Events
Down in the transplanted Seireitei, the Shinigami watch in alarm as whole buildings are torn upward, and Shinji doubts the Wandenreich has any limit to its power. When Ichigo opens the elevator door at the summit, the group finds not the Royal Guard's cities but a reassembled Quincy metropolis wrapped in darkness. Yoruichi, knocking her own marker loose underfoot, realizes they landed exactly on target and points to the ruined Greater Soul King Palace behind them: Yhwach has remade the entire realm to suit himself.
