Spoiler Warning!! [+/-] Show/Hide Synopsis...
Ikkaku flashes back to his first encounter with Kenpachi Zaraki, which he lost miserably. Kenpachi advises him that when one loses a fight but doesn't get killed then the person is lucky. He tells Ikkaku to survive so he can kill the person that failed to kill him. When Kenpachi becomes the captain of the 11th division, Ikkaku and Yumichika join under him. Later, Ikkaku is shown teaching Renji how to fight. After their training is eventually finished, Renji asks to see Ikkaku's final release, but Ikkaku refuses. Ikkaku wishes to keep it a secret so he can continue fighting under Kenpachi's command. In the present, Ikkaku falls from the sky, his weapons shattered. However, Edorad is missing a fair portion of his chest and his entire right arm. Edorad falls to his death and Yumichika congratulates Ikkaku for winning.
