Bleach Vol. 17 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Only a few hours remain until the execution. As the clock winds down, Orihime, Chad and the others find unexpected allies inside the Soul Society and throw themselves into an all-out fight, even squaring off against captain-class opponents. Kenpachi Zaraki's entry alone tips the balance, and desperate battles erupt across the Seireitei at once. On his way to the Repentance Cell, Renji Abarai finds Byakuya Kuchiki standing quietly in his path as the wall he must overcome. Yet in contrast to the raging combat around them, Ichigo still cannot reach bankai, clawing at the edge of his training.
