20 January, 2009
After Kenpachi defeats Nnoitra, the Espada Starrk arrives and carries Orihime away to a tower where Sōsuke Aizen greets her. He informs her that he, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen are preparing to destroy Karakura Town. Aizen orders Tōsen to contact all of the Soul Reaper captains, Ichigo, and his friends with kidō, and reveals that he brought Orihime to Hueco Mundo to lure and trap them. As he travels through a garganta portal to Karakura Town, however, Aizen is confronted by Commander-General Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the leader of the Gotei 13, with five other captains. Aizen summons the Espada Starrk, Barragan, and Harribel and orders Espada Ulquiorra Cifer to protect Las Noches. Ichigo, sensing the threat to Orihime now, flies off to save her.
