PHYhwach finally steps into the Soul King’s Palace on Omotesando, gazing up at the Great Soul Palace. He is welcomed by Senjumaru Shutara, the captain of the Zero Division, who is accompanied by Hashwald and Uryu Ishida. Yhwach orders the battle to begin with ‘The Blade of the Soul King,’ but his attacks prove ineffective due to the abilities of Nianzol, who appears from the shadows. However, Senjumaru’s E×ρréššion remains unchanged… Meanwhile, in the underground of the former Twelfth Division barracks, Ikkaku Madarame appears before Ichigo and Orihime, who are trying to ascend to the Soul King’s Palace using the established artillery.
