           Urahara notes that Ichigo is a scary kid to be able to do this with only one attack before informing a sleeping Ichigo that he has passed the third lesson. Elsewhere, in the wilderness, a panting Uryū declares that it is finished as he dissolves his Heilig Bogen and thanks Sōken Ishida while looking at his Sanrei Glove. Meanwhile, in Jason underground training area in Karakura Town, Sado destroys a large portion of a huge rock with an energy blast from his Fullbring, Brazo Derecha de Gigante, leading him and Orihime to celebrate his success and their readiness to go to Soul Society.Urahara explains the limitations of consecutive attacks.At a later point during his training of Ichigo in the training grounds underneath his shop, Urahara explains to him that an attack can be employed fewer times in succession in direct correlation to its power, with a revolver being able to fire six times and a missile only firing once, and asserts that the number of consecutive attacks is always pre-determined. Urahara instructs Ichigo to determine the maximum number of attacks because a desperate opponent will always strike the maximum number of times, which will allow him to attack while the opponent is vulnerable and defenseless between the end of the first series of attacks and the start of the second.Ichigo narrowly dodges an attack from Urahara, who is pushing him to learn to use his Getsuga Tenshō at will.Some time after this, while training with Urahara, Ichigo narrowly dodges an attack from the former that shatters a rock behind where he was standing, and as Urahara flatly states that he cannot run away, Ichigo angrily points out that Urahara tried to kill him just now and that he would have been killed had he not run. However, Urahara reveals that this is the point and explains how he is trying to corner Ichigo and drive him to the edge so he can learn to deliver the killing blow at any time. With Urahara indicating the massive chasm in the ground he left in the ground after manifesting Zangetsu, Ichigo claims that this was due to luck and not something he can perform on command, but Urahara insists that he has to be able to do it on command.Urahara sends Ichigo flying with a slash of Benihime as he continues pushing him.Clarifying that Ichigo is on the verge of learning how to fight by activating the true power of his Zanpakutō, Urahara describes him as having talent but only being as strong as a 3rd or 4th Seat at best before informing Ichigo that the enormous strength of Shinigami requires him to master this attack in order to be their equal. Ichigo concedes this, but admits that he does not even remember how he performed this attack due to how desperate he was at the time, only for Urahara to conclude that he is driving Ichigo to the edge in order to make him remember as he leaps forward and jabs at Ichigo with Benihime, which Ichigo blocks with the broad side of Zangetsu before sending him flying backward, where he crashes into the top of a large rock formation.Urahara prevents Tessai and Ururu from tending to Ichigo.Though Tessai and Ururu attempt to move to Ichigo's side in order to tend to his injuries, Urahara appears before them and instructs the two of them to hold back for now as he ascends the side of the rock. As he tries to catch his breath, Ichigo is stunned to see Urahara appear in front of him and attack once more, resulting in Ichigo crashing into a second rock formation nearby after being sent hurtling off the top of the first one, to Jinta's astonishment. Having carved a trench into the top of the rock with his crash, Ichigo coughs as Urahara criticizes him for falling apart after being pressed only a little and expresses disappointment in Ichigo's condition before asserting that his blade only resonates with fear. Urahara details how Ichigo's every move revolves around his fear and declares that this will not bring him victory in battle because nothing is born of fear as he tells Ichigo that his actions should revolve around his resolve to kill and not let himself or others be killed.Ichigo succeeds in firing a Getsuga Tenshō at will.When Urahara points out how Benihime is filled with the resolve to kill him, Ichigo gets to his feet and raises Zangetsu above his head as his Reiatsu surges, and while Urahara notes that he is capable of resolve after all and instructs Ichigo to never forget this feeling, he uses Nake, Benihime to fire an energy blast at Ichigo as the latter unleashes a Getsuga Tenshō.
