During her stay in the 7th Division's prison, Ai regularly talks to Guren Haruki, who is assigned as a janitor there. When he remarks on how she always seems gloomy and sad, Ai asks him not to address her with honorifics. She tells him of Ren, expressing her faith in her. She goes on to mention how it is her fault Ren's life changed, and that she suffered greatly. 14 days before Ai's scheduled execution, Nanase escorts a group of Onmitsukidō guards as they transfer her to the Senzaikyū. Once there, he points out to her they can see the Sōkyoku, which will be used for her execution, from the windows. Before leaving, Nanase tells Ai there was an unconfirmed report that seven Ryoka invaded Soul Society, and one of them matched Ren's description.
While in the Senzaikyū, Ai notices the sky becoming brighter when Ren and her companions break into Seireitei. She senses the Reiatsu from Ren's battle with Alto Tsukigami, but is unable to determine if anyone died because of the prison's Sekkiseki walls. She quietly asks Rei if she is worth spilling blood over. Shortly after, Guren and open the door to her cell. However, they are caught in the act by Kim's sudden arrival. When Guren decides to face Kim by himself to allow Ai to escape, Rukia goes out to face him instead.
Ai tries to stop the fight, but is unable to handle Jin's Reiatsu because of the Sekkiseki's effects. She is shocked when Ren arrives, but becomes angry at her for attempting to rescue her. Ren, ignoring her protests, fights Kim. As Jin prepares to use his Shikai, Ai warns Ren to run. However, Ichigo Kurosaki arrives, and stops him from releasing, Rukia tells him about her.

Hye asks Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to allow the Ryoka to leave Soul Society after the execution, to which he agrees, pleasing her. As she watches the release of the Sōkyoku, Ai notes her heart is at peace once again, despite Lim's earlier intervention. She wonders to herself whether it is because of Yamamoto's promise or because Kim ignored her. She reflects on her life, concluding she has no regrets. As she says goodbye, the Sōkyoku moves to attack her. However, Ren, arriving, manages to halt its advance.
After overcoming her initial shock, Ai becomes upset that Ren is attempting to rescue her again. As the Sōkyoku prepares to approach again, Ai warns Ren not to face it. However, Aki and 8th Division Captain Shun Yotsuba destroy it, after which Ren destroys the Sōkyoku's stand, freeing Hye. Ren dismisses Ai's protests, but she refuses to thank her. As she asks what her next move is, she notes to herself she has become stronger. Nanase arrives moments later, much to Hye's relief, but the moment is cut short as Ren throws her to Nanase. Ai and Nanase scold Ren for being reckless, but are told to get to safety.
