Yoruichi, Master of Speed, dances!

We start the episode with Renji handcuffed and his Zanpakutou, Zabimaru*, taunting him about how he is slow in recovering. Zabimaru expresses interest in taking on Ichigo's Zangetsu one time more, but Renji notifies him that Ichigo is no longer his enemy. After inquiring Renji who he will battle now, and obtaining no response, Zabimaru disappears.

Back at the Shrine of Pentinence (the white tower where Rukia is being held), we glimpse the continuation of Ichigo and Byakuya's battle. Byakuya starts to issue the power of his Zanpakutou, whereas Rukia notifies Ichigo that he has to run away. Just as Byakuya starts issues his Zanpakutou, Yoruichi halts him. Yoruichi and Byakuya converse as if they understand each other, and it is disclosed that Yoruichi was one time a highly regarded infantry foremost in another part of Soul Society. Ichigo thanks Yoruichi for approaching to help him, but states that he desires to take Byakuya down on his own. Yoruichi bangs Ichigo out by hitting an anesthetic into the cuts on his stomach. Byakuya assertions that there is no way that she can get away, and after they play cat-and-mouse with Shunpo (Flash Steps), Yoruichi get aways undertaking to make Ichigo more powerful than Byakuya in three days.Byakuya concludes to depart, asserting that he's uninterested, and Rukia passes out. Ukitake calls out his subordinates, Sentarou and Kiyone. After they disclose that they pursued him and then abuse each other, Kiyone is notified to call the fourth partition to be inclined to Ganju, and Sentarou is notified to put Rukia back in her cell. Kiyone and Sentarou pledge to work with Ukitake to issue Rukia from her cell. Hanatarou sees Ukitake going to Ganju to be inclined to him, and Ukitake notifies Hanatarou that he will not murder him, because on the surrounds that Ganju may have data about Aizen's death, and he endeavoured to release Rukia (Rukia is a subordinate of Ukitake).

Meanwhile, Orihime and Ishida represent as Shinigami so as not to get caught. They overtake another Shinigami who is premier a group of Shinigami in a search for the ryoka (Ishida and Orihime). Although the man interrogating them does not identify them, he arrives on to Orihime due to her "assets". Ishida steps in to defend her, and the man is called away by other Shinigami before a battle ensues. Orihime applauds herself for her large concept, and we find out that she knocked out the shinigami they robbed the robes from. (Evidently Tatsuki educated her some karate, and she is effortlessly at the grade of a very dark belt). Orihime and Ishida conclude that they need to rush so as to apprehend up with Ichigo and business, in order that Ichigo does not get into trouble. As they depart, Kurotsuchi arrives out of a partition, as he is following them.Back in the cave, Ichigo chews Yoruichi out for not keeping Rukia from the assault with Byakuya, and Yoruichi discloses her scheme for keeping only Ichigo--he is the only one who has promise to beat Byakuya. She notifies him that she understands that every individual is protected, as Ukitake is very kind (and Rukia's captain), but that he should mend himself and become more powerful so as to beat Byakuya. She takes him to a locality under Soul Society, which examines like the locality under Urahara's shop. Yoruichi interprets to Ichigo Shikai, or the first issue, and Bankai, the last issue of a zanpakutou. She mentions that Zangetsu is certainly in Shikai, but Ichigo should work to accomplish Bankai, which will give him a power increase of about 10 times his present power. She discloses that whereas it generally takes 10 years to accomplish, she understands a procedure that will need only three days for Ichigo to accomplish Bankai, and that she will have him accomplish Bankai with this method.

*Zabimaru's manifestation is a white baboon with a serpent for a tail. He has azure markings on his body alike to Renji's.
