Ikkaku emerges victorious but heavily wounded. Despite the win, he is frustrated that he had to reveal his ultimate trump card. He swears Yumichika to secrecy, as Ikkaku wishes to remain a Lieutenant under Kenpachi Zaraki rather than being promoted to Captain.
Ikkaku and Edrad trade devastating blows. As the dragon turns fully crimson, Ikkaku swings with everything he has, shattering Edrad’s steel-like skin and the Arrancar himself. The Aftermath
Edrad Liones, a massive Arrancar, overwhelms Ikkaku Madarame.
Ikkaku refuses to use his full power to keep his Bankai a secret.
A dragon crest is etched into the central blade.
Edrad releases his Zanpakutō, Volcanica , transforming into a lava-spewing giant. The Turning Point
