Rangiku fights Tier Halibel's three Fracciones, those being Emilou Apacci, Franceska Mila Rose, and Cyan Sung-Sun. She struggles against them until fifth division lieutenant Momo Hinamori arrives, having resolved to fight against her former captain. Momo uses a kidō combination that seriously injures the three Fracciones, but they heal their wounds by releasing their zanpakutō, and use their left arms to create a strange creature that shares their traits. Elsewhere, Kyōraku continues his battle with Stark, but neither is willing to release their zanpakutō.
