Chapter 629 splits the invaders across the reshaped realm. Mayuri slips away to work alone only to be trailed by Kenpachi, while Grimmjow flattens a building atop Askin. On the central platform, the defectors Bazz-B, Liltotto, and Giselle reach Silbern, and Bazz-B swears his revenge.
Summary
With the fortress looming over the reshaped realm, Shunsui orders the assembled captains, lieutenants, and Visored to charge it, only for Urahara to notice that Mayuri has slipped away. On the city of Vier Ast, Mayuri gloats about escaping the group by shifting the gate's coordinates so he can pursue his research undisturbed, until Kenpachi strolls through behind him, having missed the others while in the restroom and dragging along an anxious Hanataro.
Key Events
Ichigo's party threads the streets with Nelliel and Grimmjow guarding the rooftops, unnerved that they cannot form Reishi footholds and unable to link up with Rukia and Renji. Growing impatient, Grimmjow bolts ahead and levels an entire building on top of Sternritter Askin, who had been grumbling about the intruders. Elsewhere, on the central platform, the defector trio of Bazz-B, Liltotto, and Giselle reach Silbern through the still-working Gate of the Sun, and Bazz-B swears vengeance on both Yhwach and Haschwalth.
