"Shunsui! Jūshirō!" Upon witnessing his two cherished disciples sustain severe injuries in rapid succession, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni called out with uncharacteristic emotional intensity, his weathered face momentarily revealing the depth of his concern beneath his customary stern exterior.

He prepared to intervene directly, his ancient spiritual pressure beginning to rise ominously around his form, but halted abruptly when significant developments occurred near Aizen's position. The massive Fura was expelling powerful currents of spiritually-charged air toward the flame prison that had contained Aizen and his two companions, systematically extinguishing the incandescent barrier.

"This odor defies conventional description!" After successfully escaping the confinement, Ichimaru Gin couldn't resist voicing his displeasure, his perpetual smile momentarily strained.

Fura's ability itself demonstrated considerable effectiveness, but evidently due to the numerous Menos Grande entities contained within its digestive system, its exhalations produced an exceptionally repulsive effect. While the concentrated air currents successfully neutralized the flame cage constructed by Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's formidable spiritual power, the accompanying stench resembled industrial-grade biochemical contamination—absolutely unbearable even to spiritually resilient beings.

Aizen and Tōsen Kaname maintained their characteristic silence, their calculating gazes fixed in Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's direction, assessing potential strategic countermeasures with clinical detachment.

"The worst possible scenario has manifested!" Observing Aizen and his lieutenants' liberation, several Shinigami experienced a profound wave of mounting despair permeating their spiritual resolve.

Confronting the Ten Espadas alone had presented a formidable challenge, but now they faced the additional threat of three captain-class adversaries with unique capabilities. Furthermore, they needed to account for the reality-distorting interference generated by Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu—a variable that complicated every tactical calculation.

The primary concern centered on the rapidly deteriorating condition of several key Shinigami combatants.

This assessment excluded Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō, who had just been effectively removed from active combat status.

Captain Suì-Fēng had successfully executed her Bankai against Barragan following extensive tactical maneuvering, yet she had only temporarily suppressed his offensive capabilities. Barragan's fundamental ability represented a seemingly insurmountable problem—physical proximity ensured rapid decomposition, and he had demonstrated capacity to prematurely trigger Suì-Fēng's Bankai detonation. This combination of effects resisted conventional countermeasures.

As a consequence, Suì-Fēng had been operating beyond sustainable exertion thresholds throughout the engagement, and her physiological condition showed unmistakable signs of progressive deterioration.

Captain Hitsugaya Tōshirō faced even more dire circumstances. He had sustained multiple serious injuries and had been maintaining his Bankai release well beyond recommended duration limits. His current status indicated he could barely maintain combat effectiveness, his breathing labored and spiritual pressure fluctuating dangerously.

If not for the reassuring presence of two transcendent pillars of strength—Uehara Shiroha and Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni—the Shinigami forces would likely have surrendered to absolute despair, their morale completely shattered.

Matsumoto Rangiku observed Aizen's emergence while maintaining control over her ash-based Zanpakutō manifestation, her expression betraying deep-seated anxiety as she declared, "The genuine threat has only now revealed itself!"

As the appointed Captain-Commander bearing ultimate responsibility, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni redirected his formidable attention toward Aizen, whom he regarded as the paramount strategic concern:

"Traitor Aizen Sōsuke, prepare to meet your final judgment! Your elaborate machinations shall not achieve fruition!"

Aizen deliberately disregarded the enraged Captain-Commander's declaration, maintaining his characteristic composure as he methodically issued tactical directives to his assembled forces:

"Barragan, Stark, please proceed immediately to reinforce Harribel's position. Gin, engage Captain Suì-Fēng—prevent any interference with Commander Uehara's current entertainment. Tōsen, responsibility for barrier neutralization falls under your jurisdiction. I shall personally address remaining opposition elements!"

Regarding Uehara Shiroha, Aizen exhibited minimal authentic concern. After all, he reasoned, the opponent merely represented a temporary spiritual projection, and it would inevitably reach operational limitations. Nevertheless, his methodical nature compelled him to establish contingency protocols and implement precautionary measures should circumstances deviate from expected parameters.

"Precisely as anticipated!" Upon receiving Aizen's explicit orders, Stark's expression reflected resigned acceptance. "I genuinely wished to avoid direct confrontation with Uehara Shiroha!"

His natural inclination favored energy conservation strategies, and he harbored no enthusiasm for engaging an opponent of Uehara Shiroha's caliber. Moreover, he maintained genuine admiration for Uehara Shiroha's combat methodology and philosophical approach.

However, present tactical realities eliminated personal preference considerations. Survival imperatives necessitated Uehara Shiroha's defeat. Alternative options no longer existed within their constrained decision matrix.

The "Gun Spirit" Lilinette maintained her characteristic fearless demeanor, vocally encouraging Stark with enthusiastic declarations:

"Dismiss your concerns, Stark! Our numerical advantage stands at three against one! Victory remains inevitable! We will absolutely prevail! You must abandon such hesitation—accept your responsibility!"

For an entity with her inherently brave and combat-oriented temperament, defeat represented an acceptable outcome, while cowardice remained categorically unacceptable under any circumstances.

Emboldened by Lilinette's spirited exhortation, Stark employed Sonído technique and materialized directly before Uehara Shiroha. This confrontation diverged significantly from his preferred engagement parameters, yet participation had become mandatory—and victory had become existentially necessary.

Adorned with his skeletal crown and encased in osseous armor, Barragan activated his own Sonído and appeared alongside Stark, his ancient visage projecting undisguised contempt. He directed his baleful gaze toward Uehara Shiroha and issued a dismissive sound of derision:

"Hmph! Ultimately, you must rely upon my intervention. The timing proves fortuitous for our encounter, insignificant youth. I shall impart appropriate disciplinary education. Your existence has provoked my displeasure for considerable duration. Henceforth, I shall become your opponent—prepare for lamentation and supplication!"

Dating back approximately one century, during the Shinigami expedition into Hueco Mundo's forbidden territories, Uehara Shiroha had operated with complete autonomy, demonstrating blatant disregard for Barragan's self-proclaimed sovereign authority over the realm.

This youthful interloper had eliminated numerous subordinate entities, established unauthorized operational facilities within Hueco Mundo's domain, and conducted himself with unmitigated arrogance. From Barragan's perspective, such insolent and disrespectful behavior warranted capital punishment, identical to the fate he envisioned for Aizen.

Naturally, had combat conditions dictated individual confrontation, Barragan would have prioritized self-preservation protocols and never risked personal endangerment for Aizen's benefit. However, the current tactical framework, involving coordinated three-against-one engagement parameters, presented fundamentally altered considerations.

Three elite combatants "serving" a single Uehara Shiroha—wouldn't such overwhelming numerical superiority guarantee decisive victory? He would not disregard such favorable probability ratios. The moment had arrived to demonstrate to this "presumptuous Shinigami infiltrator" the unassailable supremacy of Hueco Mundo's legitimate sovereign.

Observing Aizen's successful liberation and subsequent reinforcement by two formidable allies, Harribel experienced renewed tactical confidence, gripping her distinctive bone-constructed blade with intensified determination. With reinvigorated resolve, she articulated her assessment with conviction:

"Confronting our combined might in fully released forms, despite your considerable capabilities, you may find yourself unable to eliminate our entire formation before your Reiatsu reserves reach depletion thresholds!"

Simultaneously, Ichimaru Gin initiated engagement protocols against several vice-captain-class opponents and Captain Suì-Fēng. She desperately sought to provide tactical support to Uehara Shiroha, but her compromised physical condition prevented effective disengagement from Ichimaru Gin's persistent offensive pressure.

She could only implement continuous Shunpo techniques and evasive maneuver sequences to neutralize Ichimaru Gin's sustained attack patterns, maintaining slim hopes for eventual breakthrough opportunities that would permit auxiliary support provision to her imperiled ally.
