-99. Turn Back The Pendulum 10

Summary :

Cover of -99. Turn Back The Pendulum 10

Shinji talks to Aizen about how he chose him to be his lieutenant so as to keep watch of him- He always had doubts about Aizen. These same doubts caused his downfall. Instead of trying to connect with Aizen and learn more about him like other captains with their lieutenants, Shinji stayed distant. That is why Aizen was able to trick Shinji with his Zanpakutō's illusions. Throughout most of the time he's worked in the 5th Division, when Aizen was away Shinji had no idea it was an illusion in his place. At the end of the chapter, before Aizen and his group can leave, Kisuke arrives wearing his reiatsu hiding cloak.

-98. Turn Back The Pendulum 11

Summary :

Cover of -98. Turn Back The Pendulum 11

Aizen tells Tōsen and Ichimaru that it seems there are a couple of intruders: Urahara Kisuke and Tessai Tsukabishi. Realizing they have been caught, Tōsen asks Aizen if he can dispose of them, to which Aizen states it will not be necessary. When Tōsen insists, Aizen tells him once more (with much less lenience in his voice) that it won't be necessary, and Tōsen bows his head for forgiveness for his insolence. Hirako tells Kisuke that he picked a bad time to take interest in his night life, and Kisuke tells Shinji that mask has made him infinitely better looking. They exchange smiles and Kisuke begins to interrogate Aizen. Aizen states he was walking out for some fresh air, and just happened to walk into the spearhead unit in charge of investigating the disappearances in shambles, when Kisuke showed up. He sees right through the lie, and explains to Aizen how foolish it is to say the unit has mortal wounds as they are in the varying stages of Hollow Metamorphosis. Revealing his strong reiatsu, Aizen smiles as he tells Kisuke Urahara he lined up to his expectations perfectly. He tells Kaname and Gin that their work is done here, and begin to depart.

Tessai tells Kisuke to move as he attempts to stop them by force using Hadō 88, but Aizen counters with Bakudō 81 Danku. This leaves Tessai in disbelief that a lieutenant can nullify that level of a spell without reciting the incantations. At this point the three traitorous Shinigami have escaped, and they both conclude their immediate concern is the safety of their comrades as Shinji Hirako lurches forward in pain. Despite being past the point of no return, there is one way to save them that Kisuke prepared for, but he tells Tessai it's "one hell of a long-shot." Tessai uses Jikanteishi and Kūkanten'i, two forbidden techniques so as to remain unfettered in their objective. All eight of the soon to be Vizard are transported to Kisuke's lab along with some of their surroundings. Urahara has one invention meant to make more tangible his hypothesis of breaking the boundary of all Shinigami (one of these hypotheses involves Hollow Metamorphosis.) This device is none other than: the Hōgyoku.

Summary :

Cover of -97. Let Stop The Pendulum

When Kisuke fails to reverse the effect of Hollowfication with the Hōgyoku, he is dismayed and goes outside for some fresh air. He is apprehended by guards, saying Central 46 has issued a warrant for his arrest. Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi are transported to Central Room 46, and Kisuke Urahara asks just what is going on. Central 46 replies by saying he is under an investigation they have not given him permission to speak. Central 46 begins questioning him about where he was at midnight last night, and as Kisuke responds, they accuse him of conducting Hollowfication experiments. Kisuke replies, asking who told them that information. Central 46 brings up the fact he does not have the right to ask questions. He continues, asking if it was the 5th Division's Lieutenant, Sōsuke Aizen. They give him a second warning, but Kisuke resumes, explaining to them that Aizen had done it all and that he and Tessai were headed to save the others. Central 46 tells Kisuke his lies are becoming ridiculous, and 124 guards and 1 captain can vouch for him.

Soon after, a guard reports in informing that various signs of Hollowfication experiments have been found in the Twelfth Division's laboratory. Central 46 responds, saying that the matter is settled, and they will now sentence them. Tessai Tsukabishi was sentenced to be imprisoned in an Underground Prison 3, 'Shugo' for the use of forbidden techniques, and Urahara was sentenced to be stripped of his powers and eternally banished to Earth for the crimes of conducting taboo, deceiving his colleagues, and causing grievous injury. Furthermore, the Vizard will be dealt with as Hollows. A masked Yoruichi enters the chamber and rescues Tessai and Kisuke. When they get to a safe place, Kisuke thanks Yoruichi, who says there is no need to thank her, as she will refrain for the moment for not kicking him for not taking her with them. She had also brought all eight of the soon-to-be Vizard and Kisuke's new Gigai. Kisuke says within 20 hours, he will make Gigai for both him and Tessai along with the Vizard. Tessai asks about Yoruichi and she says she'll escape somehow. Kisuke then says that they will hide out on Earth taking their time solving the mystery of how to reverse the effects of Hollowfication.

The Vizard are now shown, as Hirako explains that they are really indebted to Urahara and to Aizen. All of the Vizard are armed and ready for battle as they leave their compound.

Baraggan Luisenbarn sends his Fracción to kill the four guardians of the four pillars that are keeping Karakura Town in Soul Society.

Summary :

Cover of 319. Ants And Dragons
Ikkaku, Yumichika, Kira and Hisagi finishing off the hollows sent to destroy the pillars they were assigned to guard. Omaeda is shocked by their presence and wonders what they are doing there are he had assumed they had been left behind in Soul Society, claiming that it made him believe that he was better then them. He then demands to know if he is the only one who didn't know the four of them were going to join them in Fake Karakura town. Captain-Commnader Yamamoto does not reply to him but Kyōraku and Matsumot inform Omaeda that they all knew. Soifon tell Omaeda that she had told him but that he was probably not listening but on second thought she doubts whether she had in fact told him.

Baraggan is unimpressed with the four of them and informs the Shinigami that if they have placed four ants to guard the pillars then he will send four dragons to crush them. He then orders his Fracción Poww, Cuuhlhourne, Avirama and Findor to crush them. They disperse immediately and head towards the four pillars. Poww is the first to arrive and opts to face Madarame, who comments on Poww's size and tells Poww that he will pray that he is as tough as he looks. Poww wonders who Madarame is going to pray to and asks if Shinigami even have a god. Madarame admits that he does not pray to anything in particular and replies that he will pray to Poww's god. Poww replies that is fine because his god and king knows full well that Madarame is no match for Poww.

Elsewhere, Findor appears in front of Hisagi and immediately asks him what seat he is. Hisagi replies that is the Vice-captain of the 9th Division. Findor tells him that in that case he will fight Hisagi at a level on par with the power of a vice-captain. Cuuhlhourne picks Yumichika as his opponent but finds Yumichika unwilling to look at him. Yumichika claims this is because Cuuhlhourne is ugly, earning him a slap from Cuuhlhourne. Yumichika demands what Cuuhlhourne is doing, Cuuhlhourne in turn demands to know what Yumichika is doing given that he just called a perfect stranger ugly. Cuuhlhourne goes on further to say that the only ugly thing is Yumichika's heart given that he judges people by their appearance. However, Yumichika still refuses to look at Cuuhlhourne, causing the latter to lose his temper and attack Yumichika with both of them calling each other fugly.

The last to be shown is Avirama and Kira. Avirama is psyching himself up and demands to know why Kira is not doing the same. Kira replies that he thinks its childish to psych himself and his opponent up by screaming aggressive phrases, claiming that it is a very negative ritual. Avirama accuses Kira of having a negative attitude and says that he thinks he has ended up with a coward. He then demands to know Kira's name. Kira introduces himself as the Vice-captain of the 3rd Division. Upon hearing this, Avirama taunts Kira for being a subordinate of Ichimaru Gin and being abandoned by him. This angers Kira and he retaliates by cutting off a portion of Avirama's mask. He then tells Avirama to not mention Gin's name lightly in his presence, saying that while Avirama's life is already forfeit, that it would undoubtedly be preferable that Avirama died an easy death. Avirama comments that he is beginning to like the expression on Kira's face.

Tōsen asks if Ichimaru is worried, given that he abandoned Kira. Ichimaru replies that he is not but that he is glad that Kira is doing so well. In the meantime, Kira flicks his Zanpakutō clean as Avirama tells him that the face Kira is making now is the one he wanted to see: Kira's battle face and that he is now going to erase it. With that he activates his Resurrección: Águila.

Elsewhere, Yumichika and Charlotte clash their swords repeated against each other while screaming "break" with Charlotte demanding that Yumichika's sword breaks like his heart and Yumichika demanding Charlotte's sword break like his nose. They eventually manage to push each other away. Yumichika accuses Charlotte of not making sense with the "break like your heart" comment and calls Charlotte ugly. Charlotte in-turn countering that Yumichika's "break like your nose" didn't make much sense either. Charlotte goes on to say that such a physical description angers him and calls Yumichika ugly. They resume clashing blades as each demand to know who the other is calling ugly. Charlotte points out that Yumichika keeps calling him ugly and as such Yumichika is the really ugly. However, Yumichika counters that as such Charlotte is the ugly one as he has called Yumichika ugly three times. Charlotte aims an attack at Yumichika that Yumichika barely dodges. Charlotte then observes that it would seem that talking isn't going to get them anywhere and as such whoever dies is the ugly one.

Yumichika asks if that means Charlotte thinks of them as equals, Yumichika goes on to say that he does not care for the opinion of someone with such a weird hairdo. This is when Charlotte notices that Yumichika has slashed his hair. Charlotte becomes enraged and activates his Resurrección: Reina De Rosas.
