Later, in Karakura Town, Ichigo looks up at the sky before being confronted by three teenagers, who demand to know what he is doing in their territory. Ichigo kicks one of the teenagers confronting him in the face when the latter attacks him. As his tissue and organs regrow at high speed, the figure looks up and screams in pain and rage, causing the river of lava in the level of Hell above him to flare up and engulf the skull-shaped platform he is buried beneath. Meanwhile, deep in Hell, a skeletal figure in a pit of skulls who had been watching the battle through flames raises the chains restraining him. With Orihime Inoue and UryЕ« Ishida looking on in terror, a roaring Zangetsu pins Ulquiorra down with his foot and charges an even larger Cero before unleashing it, creating a powerful explosion of energy. However, Zangetsu grabs Ulquiorra by the throat and throws him into another tower, which he decimates with a second Cero.ДЄ mysterious man screams as he regains his body. Ulquiorra quickly regenerates his arm and wing before generating a Lanza del RelГЎmpago and throwing it at Zangetsu, who responds with a Cero that collides with the energy lance, creating a large explosion that Ulquiorra tries to fly away from. Falling to the dome below, Ulquiorra slams into the surface and tumbles limply as Zangetsu lands before him. Zangetsu cuts off Ulquiorra's arm and wing.ДЄs Ulquiorra evades him and flies above the resulting dust cloud, Zangetsu appears behind him with SonГdo and grabs his left wing before cutting it and his left arm off with one slash.

Landing, Zangetsu and Ulquiorra turn around and take their fight to the air, with Ulquiorra blocking multiple strikes from Zangetsu, before Zangetsu grabs Ulquiorra's wrist and attempts to pull him in.
