The cold, emotionless Arrancar Ulquiorra is entrusted by Aizen to judge Ichigo's fate. His empty eyes fix on the immeasurable potential sleeping within the boy. Meanwhile, alarmed by the Arrancar threat and Aizen's ominous moves, the Soul Society dispatches Rukia, Renji, and a handful of Soul Reapers to the living world as reinforcements. The reunion of his friends lifts Ichigo's spirits, yet the enemy already stands in a realm beyond human reckoning. At last, Soul Reapers and Arrancar clash head-on, opening a brutal all-out war to protect the ordinary days worth defending.
