When Aizen and Gin arrive in the real Karakura Town, Aizen tracks down Ichigo’s human friends, leading to a shocking betrayal from within his own ranks. This internal strike backfires, triggering a terrifying transformation that leaves Aizen more powerful and monstrous than ever before. Just as all hope seems lost for the helpless humans, Ichigo Kurosaki arrives from his special training, physically changed and bearing an unrecognizable presence. Aizen mocks Ichigo's apparent lack of power, completely unaware of the true nature of Ichigo's new abilities.
