Byakuya uses the second form of his bankai, summoning multiple rows of swords. As he and Ichigo continue to fight, Ichigo becomes progressively weaker as the strain from using his bankai increases. His inner hollow takes over his body after Byakuya wounds him, and he starts to overwhelm Byakuya. Ichigo manages to surpress his inner hollow. Both he and Byakuya focus the remainder of their powers and clash in a final strike, with Ichigo being the victor. Byakuya reveals the reason he wishes to execute Rukia, and admits defeat, claiming that Ichigo has convinced him not to execute Rukia. Hitsugaya and Matsumoto enter the Central 46 Chambers, but are horrified at what they see.
