Season 10, Episode 199 - "Holy Birth, The Resurrected Szayel Aporro"
16 December, 2008
Rukia regains consciousness, and Byakuya tells her to rest and regain her strength for the battles ahead. Kenpachi continues to battle Nnoitra, and Orihime heals Nel at Ichigo's request. While swallowing Szayel with his bankai, Mayuri inadvertently poisons Uryū and Renji, and Szayel seizes the opportunity to resurrect himself by absorbing Nemu's spiritual particles through his Gabriel technique. However, he ingests a “superhuman” drug from inside Nemu in the process that increases all of his senses to the point where his body cannot respond to the flood of sensory information, immobilizing him. Mayuri then stabs him through the hand before stabbing him in the heart.
