Bleach 245 picks up with Kuchiki Byakuya’s battle with Zaraki Kenpachi. Sadly we won’t be able to see the epic conclusion of their match since their battle is unceremoniously interrupted by the Zanpaktou of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Ashisogi Jizo. Using the confusion and poison cloud as cover, Byakuya manages to escape with the help of Senbonzakura who manages to throw Ichigo into the poison cloud.
As the Shinigami regroup, Yachiru manages to “pin” down Ashisogi Jizo. This girl really scares the hell out of me. I’ve never seen her seriously fight before and yet she just plays around with such a powerful Zanpaktou. Anyway, before the “thing” can go Bankai, Kenpachi grabs it by the mouth, silencing it. Before he strikes it down, Mayuri enters the scene and presses a button which makes Ashisogi Jizo self-destruct.
Captain Retsu Unohana shows up with the rest of the 4th squad and starts healing everyone from the poison of Ashisogi Jizo, much to the chagrin of Mayuri.
On the other side of the battlefield, Soifon is engaged in mortal combat with her Zanpaktou, Suzumebachi. She barely manages to avoid getting hit twice because she’s having a hard time coping up with the speed and the small frame of Suzumebachi. However she manages to finally reign in her Zanpaktou after she uses Demon Flash to protect where Suzumebachi attacks. She follows up with a brutal slash, defeating her Zanpaktou.
At the end of the episode, it’s revealed that Captain Commander Yamamoto is being held captive by several Zanpaktou. I’m not sure but they look like the swords of Shunsui and Ukitake plus one more unknown Zanpaktou. Maybe it’s the Zanpaktou of Yamamoto?
Anyway, Bleach 245 was a blast. Hopefully Bleach 246 can also be as exciting.

Pagka-alam ko hindi na materialized yung Zanpaktou ni Yamamoto dahil nahirapan si Muramasa na tawagin yung Zanpaktou nya, at isa din ata yan ang dahilan kung bakit sya nakakulong.

I think the cloaked zanpakuto in green is Unohana’s zanpakuto.

Muramasa already mentioned at the start of the filler arc that ryujin-jaka was too stubborn and does’nt want to join his cause that’s why he used ukitake’s and shunsui’s zanpaktou spirits to seal ryujin jaka and captain yamamoto away. Apparently, the two zanpaktou were too powerful together to even seal yamamoto and ryujin jaka so they can’t help in the war. This is one of the evidence why it is said that if shunsui and ukitake fights together with their zanpaktou, they’re unmatchable.
