After a few more hours had passed most of the hollow army had been killed but at a cost. Many districts were destroyed in the process along with many souls being consumed so although some may consider this a victory some think about how it cost lives but every battle works that way. As the Shinigami collect the dead bodies of their fallen comrades they head back to the Seireitei to rest although most expect it to be short...it seemed that the Shinigami still didn't have enough numbers and with the recent battle now even less remained but in doing so this has potentially revealed promising Shinigami that showed no hesitation in the face of danger.
