In which Yumichika makes some bad choices, Uryuu makes some questionable choices, Hitsugaya makes no choices because Giselle is making choices for him, and Kurotsuchi makes some excellent choices.
Lethan apologizes for this one. Del doesn't. Enjoy :)

Anime Episode 349: "Next Target, The Devil's Hand Aims at Orihime!"
437, Manji Break (Note: This chapter is nameless in the Weekly Shonen Jump due to controversy over what the word "Manji" translates to. The symbol itself is that on Zangestsu’s hilt, but because of the way this symbol was co-opted the western world, the name was probably left out of the Weekly Shonen Jump and release, and then left in Japanese in volume releases.)
