Yhwach dreams of possible futures of Ichigo beating him. Giant guardian statues within the palace attempt to hold off Ichigo's search for Yhwach, but Chad and Ganju stay behind to fend them off. Uryū engages Haschwalth in battle, but the Almighty allows him to avoid all of his attacks and immobilizes him. Haschwalth shows Uryū the rifts starting to form in the Three Worlds, heralding their destruction. Yoruichi and Yūshirō lay badly beaten at Askin's feet, but Kisuke arrives and gives Yoruichi a temporary antidote to Askin's Death-Dealing, before triggering her transformation into a wild, feline-like Thunder God form, called Raijin Senkei Shunryu Kokubyo Senki. Her erratic spiritual pressure and greatly increased speed and power allow her to pummel Askin, before the antidote wears off. Just as Kisuke prepares to finish off Askin, he rises and uses his Vollständig, Hass Hein.
