Nanao wants to finish off Chad, but Shunsui stops her, and Ichigo is able to sense his faint spirit power once more. Galvanized, he readies himself to fight whole-heartedly against Zaraki Kenpachi, and now, he is actually able to cut the latter. Unohana tells Tousen and Komamura that Aizen is indeed dead and that it is not a faux body that they see. Ichigo discovers that Zaraki’s Zanpakutou is name-less, and is relieved to know this as he thinks he now has a chance of winning. However, he is wrong – Zaraki breaks Zangetsu and wounds Ichigo, walking away disappointed by the outcome of their match. The one who walks towards Ichigo now is Zangetsu himself.
