Bleach 30 / 2.10

Renji's Confrontation

Word spreads within the Seireitei about what happened to the three shinigami who encountered the ryoka (outsiders) and about the decimation of 11th squad. 

Hanataro leads Ichigo and Ganju through the sewers below the Seireitei and explains to them why he’s helping them. He tells them about all the things he learned from Rukia while cleaning her jail cell.

Ichigo, Ganju, and Hanataro emerge from the sewers only to find someone waiting for them, Renji. Ichigo’s spirit energy starts to rise as he gets ready to clash with Renji. Ichigo’s friends in other parts of the Seireitei (Chard, Orihime, Uryū) sense Ichigo’s spirit energy and rush to find him.

Ichigo and Renji begin fighting. Renji explains as the fight begins that he is considerably stronger than he was when they last fought. Ichigo is not phased by the reveal.
