Soifon prevents Ichigo from harming Kumoi and Lurichiyo by allowing them to escape. Kenryū and Enryū are apprehended, but Ichigo and Rukia manage to escape with Kannogi’s help. The three hatch a plan to get past the 2nd division by pretending to take Kannogi hostage. Soifon reports this to the rest of Gotei 13, and Yamamoto orders the 2nd and 3rd divisions to lead a manhunt for Ichigo and Rukia. Soifon reveals some doubts about Kumoi’s intentions to Yamamoto, but he merely takes them under consideration. Izuru voices his suspicions on Kibune’s recent actions and his apparent relation to Kasumiōji family to Amagai, which Amagai views with skepticism. He tells Izuru to keep an eye on Kibune just in case.
