The Immortal Man
Time freezes and Zangetsu (the spirit of his zanpakutō) appears before Ichigo. He takes the injured Ichigo into his world and makes Ichigo fight his shadow self before he will allow Ichigo to wield him once again. Zangetsu explains that they are linked. It rains in Zangetsu's world when Ichigo is distressed. Zangetsu doesn't like rain.
Ichigo bests his shadow self and then with Zangetsu's help he returns to the Seireitei. Zaraki is stunned to see that Ichigo has recovered. Their fight continues but it quickly becomes clear that Ichigo is much stronger and more capable now. Zaraki understands that at last he need not hold back. He removes his eyepatch, which keeps his power in check.
Together, Ichigo and Zangetsu fight with Zaraki and nameless sword. Buildings around them come crashing down but the fight goes on.
Ichigo's friends do not appear in this episode. Zaraki and Kusajishi, his lieutenant, are the only high ranking Shinigami to appear in this episode.
How much longer will this fight go on? I think that it must be near ending. I'm enjoying the story but I'm ready for it to move forward.
