3. Episode 8 Recap

Zaraki searches for Yachru after the battle. He finds her batch lying in the ruins and orders his subordinates to find her. Suddenly, they all are attacked by Liltotto, Meninas McAllon, Catnip Candice, and Giselle.

All of Zaraki’s subordinates are crushed, sliced, burned, and eaten up. Zaraki attacks them, but he is too weak to cause any damage. They easily corner him and pin him down.

They are about to kill him when everyone senses a powerful spiritual pressure. Just then, someone crash lands on Seireitei. The quartet tries to find who crashed, but Ichigo Kurosaki is already standing before Zaraki.

They are left shocked by his speed. Ichigo tells Zaraki that he is there to save him. The girls attack him, but Kurosaki throws them away with ease. Catnip gets frustrated and goes to attack her alone.

Yhwach senses Ichigo’s presence and tells Uryu and Jugram that it is time for it to begin. (“it” here is unknown). The girls try their best against Ichigo but cannot even put a scratch on him.  

After Catnip gets beaten up, the rest three use Sklave Rai to transform into their ultimate forms. The battle goes on for some time, but they still fail to get any success.

Frustrated, Catnip transforms into her Skalve Rai form and launches a big attack on him. Ichigo uses Getsuga Jujisho to counter the attack. Seeing Catnip unhinged, he tells her to dodge, but she refuses.

As a result, she gets her hand blown away. She tells Giselle to heal her. After healing, she rushes to attack again, but Bazz-B fires a beam at her, putting her down.

He says that he is there to take the glory of defeating Ichigo. Some other Sternritters also show up, and everyone gangs up against Kurosaki. Suddenly, Kurosaki sees a huge beam of light.

Yhwach thanks Ichigo for opening the gate to the Royal Palace for him. It is revealed that the coat Ichigo was wearing was specially made to protect him from the 72-barrier membrane between Seireitei and the palace. 

However, it has also led to an opening in the shield, which takes 6000 seconds to close. Yhwach prepares to leave for the palace. Ichigo rushes at him, but the other Sternritters attack him.

He is almost cornered when Renji shows up and tells him to move on. The Sternritters rush at him, but the other Soul Reapers also show up to stop them. Ichigo is shocked to see Ishida beside Yhwach.

Ishida tells him to go back, or he will waste his life. Ichigo asks him what he is doing, but Ishida bombards him with numerous arrows. Some arrows hit Ichigo, but Chad and Orihime arrive at the right time to protect him.

Ishida turns their back on them, and the three Quincies set out for the Royal Palace.
