Summary

Yushima's Zanpakutō stabs Hollow Ichigo, and within his own consciousness he can see Nozomi inside Yushima's as well. Nozomi calls out to Ichigo, but before he can do anything to help her, Yushima regains his will and attacks him, causing his Hollow-self to break apart. Now powerless once again, Ichigo is left to watch as his friends attempt to overpower Yushima. But no matter what they try, he finds a way to counter it. Yushima has Reigai-Nemu bring him something that will help the fusion become permanent, and when she arrives, she unexpectedly kicks him backward. It is revealed that Kon was helped by Urahara and Mayuri by placing his Soul Candy into that of the Reigai. Kon gives Ichigo a complete Gikongan which he takes, and it restores his Shinigami powers. He prepares to unleash his Bankai against Yushima. Meanwhile, Byakuya has deduced that the Reigai do not sacrifice themselves to attack the originals when they are all together, as it goes against what they and Yushima believe in. The originals join forces against the Reigai to protect Soul Society.

Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book

Kon brags to Rukia and Orihime that he wasn't scared at all on what he's been through. The scene then shifts through to Kon being in the fusion lab, where Mayuri and Urahara ponder over the lifeless body of the Reigai Nemu. Urahara then suggests something to Mayuri who says that they'll have to eviscerate him if they need to, which makes Kon begin to freak out. Urahara then says that when they're done they could use him for experiments and the both of them start to snigger. Kon then thinks that he can't believe Urahara is in this too, but then is called by Urahara, asking whether he could help them out as he and Mayuri stares closely on Kon, which causes him to scream in terror.
