Kariya explains the background of his past as a Bount and how the Shinigami betrayed and slaughtered all of his companions. As Kariya begins to attack Rantao, Ishida jumps and fights instead. After some really cool fight scenes, it becomes apparent that Ishida's battle accessory has reached its limit. Rantao manages to hold Kariya still long enough for Ishida to fire off a powerful blast. Ishida holds back and Kariya lives. Rantao's reiatsu goes out of control and Ishida absorbs all her spirit particles and fires them off in one shot toward the sky. This causes his accessory to break and Ishida once again loses his powers. Luckily Rantao survives and Ichigo arrives just in time to save the day.
