Ichigo also used a new move, the Getsuga Jujisho, which already showed a tremendous level of power. As other Sternritter such as Bazz B piled on, Renji, Rukia, and Byakuya came to help Ichigo out. Ichigo then headed off to battle Yhwach, only to be stunned by the sight of Uryu at his side. Uryu and Yhwach ascended to the heavens, leaving Ichigo speechless as Chad and Orihime arrived.
