Bleach, Vol. 19

The long-awaited showdown between Ichigo and Byakuya Kuchiki begins. Has Ichigo mastered bankai, the highest level of power a Soul Reaper can reach, well enough to face Byakuya as an equal? With Rukia rescued at the last moment, Yoruichi squares off against her former subordinate Soi Fon while the Court Guard Companies edge toward civil war. The duel between Ichigo and Byakuya will settle Rukia's fate, and their own.
