Ichigo best challenge by By:Jean Bio (best way to read e books TXT) 📕

plan to Sado and Renji: she will use Hakuren to freeze Rudobōn’s soldiers, then Sado will attack the them, and Renji will finish Rudbornn off with Zabimaru. With that said, they act. However, when Renji uses Hikōtsu Taihō with Zabimaru against the now-vulnerable Rudobōn, Rudbornn creates more of his solders to stop the attack and cause Renji’s Bankai to collapse. Rudbornn comments that it was an excellent effort, but explains again that with an infinite number of soldiers, no one can reach him. However, when Rudbornn is about to finish off the three, he is caught by Rukia’s ice and his body begins to freeze from the bottom up. Rukia explains that the real plan was to keep Rudobōn’s attention away from herself as well as his weakness. Rudbornn curses his opponents as his body is fully encased in ice. Almost instantly, an enraged, but injured, Yammy Llargo rises and finishes off Rudobōn.
Renji and Sado are surprised by this outbreak with Renji asking if this is the Arrancar that Tōshirō Hitsugaya warned them about. Sado responds that it is, but speculates that there is something different about Yammy. Sado proceeds to explain that he fought Yammy once in the living world, but his size was not nearly as huge back then. Yammy yells at the top of his lungs that he will get his revenge on Uryū Ishida, who defeated him earlier.

Meanwhile, a red Cero is blasted downwards through the roof of Las Noches, creating a huge explosion within Las Noches. Ichigo Kurosaki in his new Hollow form throws Ulquiorra Cifer, now unconscious with more than half of his body blown away from the explosion, to the ground. Ichigo slowly walks towards Ulquiorra and prepares to finish him off, but Uryū stops Ichigo by grabbing his wrist. Uryū tells Ichigo to stop since the battle is over and attempts to convince Ichigo that if he goes through with it, he will no longer be considered Human. After countless pleads from Uryū to stop, Ichigo throws his Zanpakutō into Uryū's stomach. Ichigo tells Orihime that he will protect her as well as hinting that it does not matter who gets in the way, friend or foe.


Ichigo breaks free of his Hollow's control.
As Ichigo approaches Uryū, Orihime blames herself for Ichigo's transformation, that she called out to him to protect; and asks herself why she keeps relying on Ichigo regardless of how many steps she has taken to protect herself and her friends. Ichigo proceeds to charge a Cero on Uryū, but Ulquiorra appears behind Ichigo and severs one of his horns, causing the Cero to disperse and create a huge explosion as well as shattering Ichigo's mask which returns him to human form. As Ulquiorra watches Ichigo fall to the ground, he notes that his body is regenerating, but it is only superficial as the internal organs that were blown way will not regenerate.
Ichigo's reiatsu flows out of his body, and then back in to repair the hole in his chest. Ulquiorra, in surprise, questions if that was instant regeneration. Ichigo wakes up and is horrified to see his Zanpakutō in Uryū's stomach. Ulquiorra pulls Ichigo's Zanpakutō from Uryū and tosses it to Ichigo, demanding to finish the fight. Ichigo questions if that, as well as the cause of Ulquiorra's severe injuries, were his own doing. Ulquiorra stays silent to the question. Ichigo then requests Ulquiorra to cut off his own arm and leg, so that the fight will be fair to which Uryū exclaims his concern to Ichigo. Ulquiorra complies, but as he is about to proceed, his body begins to turn to ash.


Ulquiorra is entrusted with a heart
Realizing that he is finished, Ulquiorra requests that Ichigo finish him off immediately, or else the fight will never be considered finished. Ichigo declines and exclaims that he did not want to win this way. Ulquiorra woefully states that even to the very end, Ichigo never does what Ulquiorra wants or expects and expresses his growing interests in Humans. The Cuatro Espada reaches out and asks Orihime the same question he asked while they were alone in the fifth tower: whether or not she was afraid of him. Orihime responds that she is not afraid and tries to grab hold of Ulquiorra's hand, but it begins to dissolve into ash before she is able to. From her gesture he finally realizes what a heart is, believing that there in his disintegrated hand is a heart. Ulquiorra fades entirely into the wind.
Ichigo VS Byakuya Kuchiki

The fight between Shūsuke Amagai and Ichigo Kurosaki heats up as Ichigo dons his Hollow mask. The power of Amagai's Bakkōtō seems to be unable to stop Ichigo, but Amagai's determination for revenge will not be beaten easily. Amagai attacks with his most powerful attack, and Ichigo is left with only half his mask. Rurichiyo Kasumiōji pleads with Ichigo to stop fighting but he continues because he never wants to see her sad again. As the fight continues, Ichigo loses more of his mask but manages to get one Getsuga Tenshō in to hit Amagai. It is so powerful that it makes rubble fall from the tower above them and this appears to crush Amagai. But Amagai doesn't appear harmed and declares that he is willing to die for his revenge and starts to draw more power from his Bakkōtō's power.
After Ichigo manages to successfully block the Sōkyoku's attack on Rukia Kuchiki, the Sōkyoku is destroyed by Captains Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake of the 8th and 13th Divisions respectively.[2] Ichigo breaks the Sōkyoku's stand and passes Rukia to Renji Abarai who runs away with her in his arms. Lieutenants Marechiyo Ōmaeda of the 2nd Division, Chōjirō Sasakibe of the 1st Division and Isane Kotetsu of the 4th Division are sent to chase Renji, but Ichigo blocks their path and effortlessly defeats all three without the use of his Zanpakutō. He is then forced to pick up his sword to defend himself against Byakuya's first attack, he tells Byakuya that he can see his every move.As they cross swords, Byakuya asks Ichigo why he keeps on trying to save Rukia, but Ichigo questions why Byakuya isn’t trying to save her. Byakuya brushes it off as a pointless question and states that even if he was inclined to answer, Ichigo wouldn't understand. The two clash and push themselves apart. Byakuya then tells Ichigo that he will kill him and with his own hands, he will carry out Rukia's execution, but Ichigo states that won’t happen. The two then charge toward each other.[4]
Byakuya states that he finds it interesting that Ichigo was able to master Shunpo, but before he can finish Ichigo interrupts him, taunting Byakuya, stating that he hasn't scratched him once and telling him to hurry up and use Bankai. Byakuya tells him that his taunts are meaningless and he won’t change his mind about Rukia's fate or Ichigo's. He then releases his Shikai, but Ichigo blocks that attack with a blast of spiritual energy.[5]

The effect of Ichigo's attack results in a large explosion, which injures Byakuya's left hand, prompting him to ask if that attack was an ability of his Zanpakutō. When the smoke clears, a large fissure is evident where the attack took place. Ichigo confirms what the ability is, and explains that its name is Getsuga Tenshō. Once again, Ichigo tells him to fight with his Bankai. Byakuya remarks at how arrogant the name of the attack is, but he decides that since Ichigo wants to see his Bankai, he will show it to him and then releases it. Ichigo uses his Getsuga Tenshō to attack Byakuya, but it’s blocked by Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, which crushes him into the ground. The smoke clears and an injured Ichigo lays upon the ground. Ichigo begins to get up and he admits his error at using only his Shikai. Byakuya, unimpressed, and says that he is talking as though he has already achieved Bankai, but Ichigo says that’s exactly it.[6]


Ichigo revealing his bankai, Tensa Zangetsu.
At first, Byakuya doesn't believe him, and Ichigo says he will have to show him. Ichigo then releases his Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu while Byakuya gazes in disbelief, and asks why his Zanpakutō’s shape looks like that of a sealed Zanpakutō. Byakuya then tells Ichigo that it seems that he enjoys stepping on their pride, so he will carve on his body the penalty for violating their pride. Before Byakuya can attack, Ichigo gets up close, pointing the tip of his blade at Byakuya's throat, and asks him if that pride has anything to do with Rukia's execution, because if so, he will step all over it.[7]
When Ichigo backs off, Byakuya calls him arrogant and tells Ichigo he will regret not attacking when he had the chance and shouldn't count on getting another one.[8]


Byakuya tries to catch Ichigo by directing Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's movements with his hands.

Ichigo blocks all of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's blades.
The two clash, but neither hits the other as both equally dodge the others attacks. Eventually, Ichigo becomes so fast that Byakuya makes note that his speed is amazing to the point that Senbonzakura Kageyoshi can't keep up with him. Although Byakuya keeps attacking, Ichigo shows off his great speed by moving around him in a circle, escaping his attacks. Ichigo taunts him by asking if he is going too slow for him, and comments on how he can go even faster. Byakuya tells him not to get cocky and uses his hand to direct Senbonzakura Kageyoshi at Ichigo, causing it to move even faster. However, Ichigo is able to fend off Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. Byakuya gazes in disbelief, thinking how it's impossible, as he deflected all of them. Before Byakuya realizes it, Ichigo is behind him taunting him, before Byakuya grabs Tensa Zangetsu, wounding himself. He then realizes the power of Ichigo's Bankai and promises to destroy it.[9]

Byakuya using his technique Senkei.
Ichigo moves away and Byakuya reveals Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's true form, using the technique "Senkei". Ichigo stares in disbelief, but Byakuya assures him that the thousand swords will not strike him all at once.[10] They continue to battle and Byakuya asks him why his movements have become slower. Ichigo taunts him, saying he swore Byakuya was so slow that he thought he wasn't moving at all. Byakuya then calls forth one of the surrounding swords, stabs Ichigo in the foot and then uses Hado #4 Byakurai, shooting a hole through Ichigo's right shoulder. Byakuya pulls the sword from Ichigo's foot and he falls to the ground. Byakuya then tells Ichigo that he is at his limit and he explains Senkei. Ichigo finally realizes that he is the one that had gotten slower. Byakuya commends him on having made it as far as he did, having accomplished the wins he attained and even surviving Senbonzakura Kageyoshi intact, but tells him that he must realize by now that this is the end. He then raises his sword for a killing blow, only for Ichigo to grab the blade with his hand to stop it. Byakuya is surprised and asks
