Bleach 316 Swing the edge down
The battle commences!
The scene starts off when a young girlbeing chased by a group of hollows. One of the hollow unexpectedly blows up in front of her. Apparently, the little hollow was affected by the powerful reaitsu flowing out from the Soul Society and Aizen’s armies.
All the captains are on guard to attack but they are hoping to attack the Espadas without Aizen’s interference. Else, the battle will be gruesomely difficult. Even Ukitake cannot determine whichE is the strongest. Without wasting time, Yamamoto releases his shikai to separate Aizen, Tousen and Gin from the Espada group. Gin wonders whether they need to assist the Espada but Aizen confidently tells him that the Espada will handle things easily.
Then, the scene goes back to Huenco Mundo where Orihime is kept imprison by Ulquiora. The fourth ranked Espada asks her if she is scared by the whole situation. She says she is not as her friends are there to save her and her heart belongs to them. Lastly, Ichigo is on his way where Orihime is to save her.
I love to see top three Espadas again. Stark is so funny in this chapter. He seems like a weak one but in reality, he is definitely an enemy to be reckoned with. Halibel is so cool in the calm posture while Baragan is pissed just like Yamamoto. Well, we have to see the next chapter in the following two weeks time!

Urahara is accused for illegally conducting experiments on shinigamis. Tessai is accused for using a forbidden technique.
Things do not look too good for the both of them. Urahara tries to explain that Aizen is behind this but the court mentions that Aizen has alibis. Apparently, everyone is being hypnotized by Aizen’s Mirror Flower Water Moon ability.

Bleach -98 Turn Back the Pendulum 11
Aizen and Urahara confrontation!
Urahara manages to stop Aizen from killing Shinji. However, Aizen tries to pretend that he is there to help the investigation team. That, however, does not fool Urahara. Urahara tries to questions Aizen more but Aizen keeps on denying until Urahara mentions the word “hollowfication.”
After knowing that Urahara knows something about the situation, Aizen decides to leave the crime scene. Tessai uses his forbidden technique #88 to attack Aizen’s group but Aizen easily blocks his attack with his Danku #81. This comes to a shock for Tessai as no vice captain has ever manages to block his forbidden spell.
Without wasting anymore time, Tessai transports the injured to the 12th division headquarter for treatment. There, Urahara reveals the prized Hougyoku to heal his fallen comrades.
