With Madarame Ikkaku of the 11th Squad beaten by one of Barranggan’s Fraccion - Poww, one of the four pillars broke and the barrier hiding the real Karakura town starts disintegrating, causing the real town to surface. Once more, Poww asked Ikkaku whether he’s still hiding his real powers but when he denies, the Fraccion prepares to finish him with a kick. However, Captain Komamura Sajin of the 7th Division Squad stopped Poww with a punch straight to the face. Iba managed to stop the barrier from disintegrating further with the help of black rods causing the same effect as the four pillars.
Poww released his zanpakutou by calling “Calderon: Pilot Whale” revealing his true form with huge size and attack powers. Iba took the weakened Ikkaku and fleed as Captain Komamura released his Bankai - Kokujou Tengen Myou-ou: Enlightened King Kokujou’s Heavenly Punishment, a heavily steel-armored giant warrior. Poww forced a cero attack while wrestling arm to arm with Komamura’s bankai but the armoured giant only forced it back to the Fraccion’s mouth and with a single swing of the giant’s sword, Poww was defeated.
Iba revealed how he know about Ikkaku’s Bankai but don’t have any plan to tell it to his captain. He questioned Ikkaku why he let the pillar he’s supposed to be protecting to be destroyed just so he could keep his pride and lectured him
“But you really need to think about this, Ikkaku. It was your job to protect the pillar but you let it get destroyed. And do you know why? Because you hid your powers.
“I don’t care if you die without ever using your full power but it better not come at the cost of failing your mission. Don’t hurt the entire squad because of your own pride! As long as you’re in the 13 Protection Squads, your orders are absolute!
“I don’t care if you’ve got to swallow your pride, you must execute your orders succesfully!
Captain Komamura Sajin seem to have heard their entire conversation but said that he seem to have something stuck in his ears.
