Ichigo is sealed within a mirror dimension which causes him to relive his childhood and his mother's death. The mirror then reflects Ichigo's guilt for not able to protect her, and the illusion of his mother tries to kill him. He is able to break free of Hanza's illusions by making peace with his mother and himself, much to Hanza's disbelief. They resume battle again with Ichigo entering his hollow mode. Hanza allows the parasitic bakkoutou to consume more of his spiritual power to fight on par with Ichigo, but is still outmatched. Hanza reveals that he and his fellow assassins once served under Rurichiyo's mother, but betrayed the family by trying to kill Rurichiyo. Despite Ichigo's attempts to stop him from using his bakkoutou, Hanza refuses to admit defeat and is consumed entirely by the parasite. Back in Soul Society, Izuru covertly follows Kifune to the Kasumioji compound. Rurichiyo's fiancé is ordered to be locked up in his room by Kumoi. Kuzuryuu is shown to be alive and reports to Kumoi the deaths of Hanza and his comrades. Kumoi decides he has no more use for him and has Kifune, who has just entered the room, kill him, revealing that he and Kumoi are in fact in league.
