Ichigo Kurosaki was struck down with a single slash, collapsing heavily to the ground as blood gushed out, pooling around him like a small lake. "Kurosaki!" "Ichigo!" Ichigo Kurosaki's companions cried out in alarm when they saw him cut down. Uryu Ishida's expression tightened as he drew his bow, forming an arrow of Reishi. His gaze remained fixed on Aizen, surrounded by cherry blossoms. Orihime Inoue pressed a hand to her ear, her face full of worry as she stared anxiously at Ichigo Kurosaki lying on the ground.
