You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and it seems you've finally been dragged into the chaos that has rocked the Seireitei since Kuchiki Rukia's arrest in the living world.
Some distance to your right, your daughter Rangiku has engaged Captain Tōsen Kaname, one of Aizen's flunkies and the man responsible for betraying your predecessor Kensei. The blind man leaves you a bit wary: you know precious little about his actual abilities, although the fact that he's clearly underestimated Rangiku's skill and power leaves you hopeful that your daughter may score a decisive victory.
Before you, however, stands another problem: Captain Komamura Sajin, a large wolf-man who has been a friend of Tōsen's for many years. He's a Captain fanatically devoted to the notion of “justice”, who has apparently been convinced that justice means taking you and Rangiku into custody at any cost. His large body means he's probably quite strong, at least in terms of pure muscle strength, so although his reiatsu can't hold a candle to your own a successful blow may still wound you. It's also problematic that you know so little about his sword, or his degree of training in shunpo. He's big, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's slow. It's safe to assume he's slower than you: almost every shinigami is, after all.
Any assumptions beyond that could be dangerous. Komamura draws his sword, and you do the same.
“Your Lieutenant has done well to keep up with Tōsen so far,” Komamura growls, apparently meaning to commend Rangiku despite his gruff tone. “I am not so soft-hearted as to hold back against a lady.”
“Roar!” the Captain shouts, “Tenken!”
>1/2
>>44000501
Above Komamura's swirling reiatsu, you see the ghostly form of a massive sword appear seemingly from nowhere. It's aligned to match the position of his own sword, a confident sweep from which swings the building-sized blade towards you as well. It's slow however, and you manage to sidestep it. The building below you isn't so fortunate, and half of it begins to crumble away under the force of the blow.
As the dust clears you note that the sword is gone and Komamura has moved behind you. A horizontal swing of his sword alerts you to the onrushing blade of Tenken, which destroys the remaining building in a cloud of tiles and rubble.
“Not bad!” you commend Sajin, having embedded Tenkotsuki into the side of Tenken's spectral blade and simply gone along for a ride. “I didn't expect proper Te no Uchi to translate so well to those attacks. Your fundamental technique is flawless.”
“To have discerned so much from the movement of Tenken itself,” Komamura replies, with what looks like a grin tugging at his canine cheeks, “and to account for my speed and skill after only seeing it once... your reputation must be well-deserved after all.”
“So, Lady Riku,” Tenkotsuki interrupts. “Have you decided how you wish to fight?”

We are probably going to take him out with a kido or something.

I don't want to give them anything new. if we drop him with one nasty kido attack before he goes into bankai, Aizen won't get any new intel on our powers

Bankai is overkill, but I don't think he's going to go down like a chump to Onmitsu shenanigans

I kinda want to see how Kobara no Tachi affects Komamura considering the connection between him and his sword.
If I can just point out, these guys are Aizen's flunkies. I'd rather not show Aizen exactly what Riku can do.
>>44000687

just making sure, ending it with a single attack is going to be something like what Aizen did to him or when Kenny used both hands against Nnoitra, not using all our tricks at once, right?
>>44000715
Riku's ability with kido is well known.
>>44000725
It should be something like a one hit kido.
>>44000715
Tosen is at least. Komamura's probably just a moron. but yeah, releasing Rosa's a bad choice

“This is my zanpakuto,” Mirai announces quietly, staring across the flat roof where she and Lieutenant Kira have stopped to fight. “Sesshōseki. Its power is to make yours irrelevant.”
“You think you don't have to worry about facing a Lieutenant? Surely there must be some limit to your arrogance,” Kira counters, drawing his own sword and releasing his reiatsu. “Shall we find it together, Fourth Seat?”
“Raise your head and prepare to die, Wabisuke!”
The Lieutenant immediately attacks his opponent, a rather petite young woman from the Ninth Division wearing a sleeveless white haori like that of her Captain. Everything about her must strike the rookie Lieutenant as arrogant, from her decision to wear a uniform so much like a Captain's to her relaxed attitude. His hooked, angular blade rings loudly as Mirai parries it several times in quick succession with her heavy kanabō, which she moves with startling speed and grace.
Kira grins at the results of the exchange, as if he's already secured a victory.
“My Wabisuke doubles the weight of whatever it cuts,” he declares, and the kanabō in Mirai's hands slams down into the roof in a cloud of ceramic sherds. “Would you say that club of yours weighed about fifteen kilograms? After exchanging blows with me eight times, it now weighs two hundred and forty.”
Lieutenant Kira vaults into the air, sword held high as he prepares to deliver a fatal blow. “It's over!”
As Kira falls towards his would-be victim, Mirai can't help but grin. She shifts her stance, easily swinging the warclub in a wide arc as she turns, and slams it with titanic force into Kira's exposed ribs. Any forward momentum he had disappears instantly, and instead he's thrown down to the rooftop to Mira's right side. Much of the structure is pulverized on impact.
“Confidence is not the same as arrogance,” Mirai scowls down at her victim, who lays motionless on the ground below. "Learn the difference."
>>44000775
>>44000780
He really should have used Bankai. It might have given him a chance.
>>44000870
Not really, Riku would just have a larger target.

>“This is my zanpakuto,” Mirai announces quietly, staring across the flat roof where she and Lieutenant Kira have stopped to fight. “Sesshōseki. Its power is to make yours irrelevant.”

Mirai best subordinate
What's Mirai's zanpakto power?
>>44000907
no he didn't. His bankai's the full suit, his shikai is only the arm and sword
>>44000922
if she hits you, she can hurt you. differences in spiritual pressure don't matter
>>44000922
If i remember correctly she ignores difference between spiritual pressure that would normally make it impossible for someone to hit a captain or someone else above her.
>>44000907
Nah, his Shikai is the giant spectral body parts.
His Bankai summons the giant itself. Unless it's different in this canon, I guess?
>>44000942
Since it also negates kido trying to affect it I wonder if it can bat aside hado and cero as a side effect.
>>44000970
Don't think so. In canon his shikai release is Roar too
>>44000942
Though it doesn't explain how she could still wield her kanabō after it was weighed down.
>>44000922
It's a Sekkiseki club. That means that it doesn't matter if you have retardedly high spiritual pressure, if she hits you, you're going to feel like you just got hit with a giant club made of rock.
It also seems to negate spiritual based powers that might affect it.
>>44001001
The stones on it make affecting it with abilities impossible.
>>44000978
if so, we need to teach her baseball
>>44001008
Her whole weapon ability is a big fuck you to a lot of abilities in bleach.
I wonder how strong she might get if she got her potential restored here.
Seems unlike other captains we drill our soldiers to actually perform outside the lieutenants. I guess we some sergeant Arch Dornan (mo-ron) in us.
>>44001001
It wasn't weighed down, she probably just bullshit him into believing it was to draw him into committing
>>44001001
while the thing may have ended up weighing at around 3000 kilo's it she is STRONG with her own spiritual pressure.
>>44001083
the seikirei stones on the club make it impossible for it to be directly affected. Kira's shikai literally couldn't do anything to her.
>>44001083
Yup. She probably used the strength enhancing technique used with Hakuda
>>44001098
Bah i like my version of that she just swung a 3840kg club like it was nothing better
>>44000859
Did you mean 4x or is Kira's maf as bad as his chance of winning that fight?
8x woulda made the kanabo 3760 kg if the base was 15
>>44001098
Well, if he hits her it will probably work.
“I'll end this in one attack,” you declare confidently as Tenken's blade disappears once more. Komamura stares at you in obvious disgust.
“Such arrogance,” he replies, holding out his sword. “Do you truly think you can defeat me so easily?”
“Bankai: Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō!”
Behind Komamura rises the giant figure of a demon wearing heavy iron armor, the blade in its hand now appearing very much solid. Its eyes burn a fiery red within the slits in its helmet as it mirrors the Captain's movements. With such a physically powerful body behind that sword, its destructive power has probably increased exponentially.
It'd be best not to get hit by that.
“Tenkotsuki,” you greet your blade as you ready yourself to make good on your promise to end this fight in one step, “please prepare number 91 for me. I will do the rest.”
“Of course,” Tenkotsuki replies cheerfully to you before beginning her chant. “Limit of the thousand hands, respectful, unable to touch the darkness, shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky...”
You dash forwards with your blade held high, building as much force as you can in your arms and shoulders even as the swirling tempest of your sōkō shunkō explodes from your body, ripping at your clothes with a force that would shred any normal garment with its ferocity. The monstrous form of Tenken brings in its sword to block you, Komamura clearly sensing the danger presented by your head-on attack and hoping to crush you under his Bankai's blade.
“The road basking in light, the wind igniting the embers, time that gathers when both are together, no need for hesitation, obey my orders...”
Hirenkyaku allows you to vault over the giant blade, landing on your feet behind Komamura. Shock is etched into his features as your muscles visibly bulge, and you release a massively powerful Kamaitachi at him, which he seems to have anticipated. He begins his defense even as you start your swing.

“Bakudo 81: Dankū!” he calls, managing to disperse the force of your strike with the powerful defensive kidō. That said, he's obviously alarmed when the simple zanjutsu is able to crach and nearly break through his barrier.
“Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey tower. Aim far, scatter bright and clean when fired!”
Komamura tries to use shunpo to escape the attack you've planned, hoping that what remains of his Dankū will buy him time to counteract your strategy.
It doesn't.
“Hadō 91: Senjū Kōten Taihō!”
Nine violet spears of blinding light race not towards Komamura himself, but towards his Bankai. The giant, nearly immobile soldier paints a perfect target, and the blast lifts it cleanly off its feet and hurls it into the air like a ragdoll.
You'd be concerned about it crushing something important, but thankfully it seems to disperse as it falls back down towards the earth. Komamura comes crashing down as well, and neither speaks nor stands.
Is it possible that the Captain's connection to that giant goes both ways?
Rangiku and Tōsen seem to have disappeared into a large structure that's sprung up around the rooftop they were fighting on like a black mushroom cloud, which feels like it's made from the Captain's reiatsu. It must be his Bankai... but you can't feel what's going on inside it at all.

>FuckEven using just a bit of her full power can ACCIDENTALLY one-shot kill a captain?FUCK
IIRC, in canon Aizen took him down with a level 90 Kido that he quick-cast so it wasn't as powerful as normal. (After Komamura had been in a fight with a Captain, admittedly...)
Here, we fully incantated a level 91 Kido and hit him with it dead on.
Even then, the main reason it worked to OHKO him was partly due to luck -- we were able to get a perfect direct hit because his Bankai is a huge target, and it transfers all damage to him.
I mean, we would still have WON the fight in one blow even without the damage-sharing -- because we were expecting to totally shut down his Bankai.
We thought we'd beat his Bankai with one blow. It turned out that we also beat HIM with one blow too...
>>44001512
kek. 9th division doesnt fuck around. You dont mess with homeland security on steroids.
>>44001544
That's after he was fucked up fighting someone else.
>>44001544
He was fucked up, and was he in Bankai already? This was a straight one shot right through his defenses.
>>44001561
it was also a quick-cast, and 90 is nowhere near as powerful as every hit from 91
So what do you put Rangiku's chances with Tosen at? And if she does lose, what would you put his chances of living longer than about 30 seconds after Riku sees her daughter hurt?
>>44001268
You close in on Komamura's prone form cautiously, relieved to find that he's still breathing. More of a surprise, he appears to even be conscious.
“I'm not dead?” he asks wearily, to which your shake your head.
“You would be if I'd aimed it straight at you. I didn't expect your Bankai to have such a weakness, Sajin... I'll be sure to keep it quiet.”
“If this is what survival feels like,” the Captain groans, “I may have preferred death. Why did you spare me?”
Frowning at first at the implied accusation, you turn back to face the dome of Tōsen's Bankai. “Because as much as you seem to think I'm your enemy, I'm not.”
“You could have fooled me.”
With a sigh, you return Tenkotsuki to her sheath.
“The situation is complicated,” you reply simply. “Far more so than you realize. It's my hope that when this is all over I'll get the chance to explain properly.”
“You did not kill Aizen,” Komamura mutters quietly, almost to himself. “That seems clearer to me now after crossing blades with you. So I look forward to your explanation. But for now, may I ask a favor?”
You shrug. “You can, but remember I'm under no obligation.”
“Please take me to where Captain Tōsen is fighting. There are questions now that I would like to ask him.”
>I'll trade you: tell me how to help Rangiku, and I'll do as you ask.

>>44001745
He has a lot more planned, he should. He knew since WW2 Riku was serious business.
>>44001745
Aizen's accomplishing his primary goal-weakening the Seireitei. Our people'll probably be in more danger during the Arrancar arc, since there'll probably be more and stronger Espada than canon
>>44001783
Ouch, Scar-boy lost, didn't he?
>>44001747
>>44001783
...this worries me
>>44001783
>>44001747
which one is for rangiku? which one is for tozen?
I hope the former roll is for our daughter
>>44001747
>>44001783
well, let's hope Rangiku rolled first
>>44001811
I dunno, how many people stronger than the King of HueCo could be hanging around?
>>44001811
Well it's only down two captains this time and we've trained up a large enough group of people who can step it up, this isn't half the blow it was in canon. So far any way.
>>44001812
>>44001819
Nah. Just don't expect to be hearing much from Tōsen.
Maybe ever.
>>44001811
maybe not just Espada. I'm wondering when that evil god that we talked to is going to show back up
>>44001843
ho boy.
>>44001843
Ash cat got his face?
>>44001843
>>44001843
Damn, he's mute to now?
>>44001843
HA! Don't fuck with ninth division!
>>44001843
Well then.
>>44001843
He Lost His soul Chain and Soul Sleep, didn't he?
>>44001843
kek
Rangiku accidentally Tosen?
>>44001843
>MAN DECIDES TO FIGHT 9TH DIVISION, REGRETS EVERYTHING
>>44001874
And wheel chair bound. With no arms. And everything tastes like ash forever. Because fuck you Tosen.
>>44001857
Yeah divine shenanigans is something we need to be wary of. Also we shouldn't forget Lt. Filler Villain.
>>44001907
silly anon, the dead have no regrets
>>44001889
I would laugh very hard
>>44001918
Not to mention that we were told the sword arc is happening. Worst Noble may be recruited by Aizen.
>>44001843
Pulling a bankai like that, against a Lt? brutal.
Lt in question is Rangiku trained by Riku? Tosen done fucked up.
>>44001843
Rangiku does a kenpachi
>>44001950
She does hang with the 11th.
Mostly to take their lunch money.
>>44001943
The one with the zanpaktou spirits popping out?
>Tenkotsuki manifests
>With full power
>panic
>>44001907
That could describe Komamura as well though. I think they could be less subtle about it, too.
>NINTH MAKES OTHER DIVISIONS LOOK LIKE INCOMPETENT BUFFOONS, STORY ON PAGE 2
>>44001950
I figured she'd just fill the air with her own bankai and electrocute the guy.
>>44001950
Nah, I suspect that Rangiku's Bankai is just a hard counter to Tosen because it fucks up everything in a given area, which negates any advantage he has in his tent.
>>44001983
>Her and Rosa still like and tolerate us
>Both just came out because they wanted to have bodies again
>And then Rosa meets Kenpachi
>>44002035
Nah, Rosa will be training Quincy boy how not to suck. By Shooting at Him until he stops sucking.
>>44001843
Goddamnit Rangiku, you can't just go around murdering captains before we have proof that they're traitors. That's the kind of shit that gets you in trouble.
>>44002004
Kinda sad we had her fight Tosen since I want to see her new ability. Though I kinda doubt she would have even had to pull it out if she fought puppy Captain.
>>44002004
ment more as in doing the whole keep what you kill thing all kenpachis' except unohana did to become captains.
>>44002004
There's also the benefit that every time his sword hit a part of Haineko the sword at least should sense where he is. Rangiku could just keep some ash on his sword to track him if she can keep track of her ashes in the tent.
>>44002059
isn't that how quincies work sucking the spirit particles?
>>44002077
sorry to nitpick but there needs to be atleast 200 other shinigami watching. So captain Rangiku is a no go.
>>44002004
Her Shikai is turning the blade to dust. Her bankai returns it to a blade while keeping a large volume of dust active. Pretty fucking brutal if used with the proper mind.
>>"My Bankai," Haineko practically purrs. "Byakkokiri. I almost thought I'd never see it. Every Japanese sword contains steel crystals, called nie, which shine like tiny stars. My Bankai compresses Rangiku's reiatsu into clouds of these crystals, and further compressing the crystals into a blade makes them truly deadly.”
>>Sure enough, Haineko's blade has become a silvery edge that flickers and dances like an open flame, without visibly reducing the amount of shining dust in the air around Rangiku.
>>44002100
It negates everything but touch, she can keep a light film of dust active.
Or even have Tosen breath in the dust.
>>44002100
or just surround herself with it, and when Tosen tries to attack her she channels the nastiest Hado she can cast through it. wouldn't even need bankai that way
>>44002070
"But Mooooommm, even though he is blind, he always stares at my chest! Beside's I I only killed him a little!"
>>44001843
“Fine,” you sigh, lifting Komamura's battered body over your shoulder. “But you try and cop a feel, I'll take your arm off and beat you to death with it.”
“You have my word.”
As you carry Komamura towards your daughter's battlefield, you see the giant structure ahead of you rip itself apart like a balloon. You can immediately feel Rangiku again, seemingly hurt but still in reasonable shape, while her foe is severely weakened.
“He cannot maintain his Bankai any more,” Sajin observes. “It seems your Lieutenant is something special.”
Setting Komamura down on the pavement, you give your daughter a once-over. Her shoulder has been wounded with a deep slash, but it could be much worse. In fact it hardly seems to be affecting her performance, and she waves to you when she spots you.
“I see you wrapped up quickly, too!” Rangiku greets you cheerfully. “He's not dead, is he?”
“I could ask you the same,” you observe, jerking your thumb in the direction of Tōsen. The Captain is trying to stand, but his wounds are severe: especially around his ankles and feet, which leave you astonished that they can even support his weight.
“The man's starting to look like a real ghost.”
Rangiku chuckles to herself. “Yeah, that's what happens when you step on my Bankai... I used her ashes as a sensor. Tōsen never figured...”
“Behind you!” you shout, as the Captain you thought to have been mostly immobilized puts on a sudden burst of speed. Perhaps it's a final attempt, as his feet look almost ready to come off from the exertion. To your astonishment, he manages to ram his sword through Rangiku's gut as she turns to face him.
“I hold no grudge against you,” Tōsen declares, “but for the sake of peace...”
>1/2
>>44002100
>have Tosen breath in the dust.
Fucking brutal. Like chemical weapons level of "fuck you".
>>44001843
welp. Tōsen just became Hellen Keller. Except he can still cognitively navigate spaces via 6th sense decently and kick ass. the only problem he'll need to overcome is learning sign language and reading brail.
>>44002165
Tosen, if you didn't just stab an utsusemi there won't be enough of you left to fill a matchox
>>44002165
>“Behind you!” you shout, as the Captain you thought to have been mostly immobilized puts on a sudden burst of speed.

>“I hold no grudge against you,” Tōsen declares, “but for the sake of peace...”
What ever you lying shit. You did this to get back at riku
...welp. he's dying slow.
>>44002165
Afterimage funsies. Cappy Oblivious get wrecked.
>>44002165
>>44002212
Like getting stabbed in the gut does anything to a shinigami.
>>44002165
You fully expected her to parry that, to the point where you didn't even bother to move. She had more than enough time to do so, and clearly saw it coming, but instead she just took it? That's when her reasoning becomes clear to you.
“You never learn, do you Tōsen?” Rangiku sighs as her body splits into two identical clones, each one with the same spiritual presence as she normally has. The two clones run the Captain through his gut with their respective copies of Haineko, one through the front and one through his back.
Spitting up blood, the traitor falls to the rooftop like a puppet whose strings have been cut.
“I won't condemn you to death for your treachery,” a third Rangiku insists quietly as the two clones from before dissipate into wisps of sparkling silver dust. “That's not my place, nor is it my desire. Your crimes were not against me.”
“Captain? Shall I?” Rangiku glances down at the Captain, understanding how easy it would be to remove him as a threat forever right here and now. And yet, her voice seems uncertain.
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>Go ahead. Someone would have to do it sooner or later anyway.
>Don't lower yourself to that. I'll do it.
>>44002212
Only if he hit Rangiku. Odds are he just hit an Utsusemi
We're about to see a man be beaten to death by his own dreadlocks, what a time to be alive.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
Fucking nanomachines. The bankai!
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
"Also? If it turns out these guys -are- officially sanctioned to bring me in for questioning, it'd -probably- be a bad idea to kill him."
>>44002233
>>Don't lower yourself to that. I'll do it.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
also doge wants to have some words with blind mang.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
Also, Komamura wanted to ask him something.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
Wait it occurs to me, who would be the court that would run the trial, Central 46 or the head captain?
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
this but I say we take one of his arms (or both) Can't start shit with no arms.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
Holding the moral high ground over him is probably more painful than anything we can possibly do to him.
On short notice.
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002274
OMG. This is a military issue
>>44002233
>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
That is a pretty cool ability. "Steel is my body" indeed.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
Who knows. Maybe we can get something useful out of him.
Also, huh. Quad dubs. Don't see that everyday.
>>44002280
how about just take his damn sword and cuff him in reiatsu locks?
>>44002274
It'd be the 46, so he'd get off Scott free if we had it before cleaning house.
>>44002233
>>No. We'll give him the benefit of a trial.
>>44002233
And here's the mythological tie-in: the Ainu, an indigenous people native to Hokkaido, had a fable warning hunters about the lynx. There was a very specific way you were supposed to deal with them, as anything else was believed to cause them to split into many clones of the original lynx, numbering up to thousands.
With her Bankai, Haineko can use the reflective, razor-sharp steel crystals to reflect visible light and reiatsu in such a way that it creates tangible clones, similar to Soi Fon's speed clones but capable of killing. When struck they can either shear apart the weapon striking them, or split off and multiply. Thus, the ability is translated roughly as "Dance of the Lynx", using the Ainu word for lynx which I can't recall right now.
>>44002322
They dead.
>>44002349
brutal
>>44002349
that's brutally spoopy mang.
wait, why do we have GTA title screen now?
>>44002349
Yeah, very brutal bankai, and very versatile.
She just created another move with her bankai and can do many more as she gets practice with it.
>>44002363
they might just be mind controlled. In which case, Yamamoto'll probably burn them all
>>44002349
That is damn good. So I guess she just reflected her spiritual pressure and had a blind man fight her clone the whole time while she just chilled?
>>44002419
He never stood much of a chance.
>>44002418
Aizen can't do mind control. It's why he killed them.
>>44002440
he can't mind control, but he could have controlled every single thing they've seen, heard, and read for the past few hundred years
>>44002433
Its a fantastic counter to a guy who relies on sensing reiatsu but it seems like it is just as good vs anyone with out exceptional senses and a quick wit. Or a stupid powerful bankai I suppose.
>>44002476
He would have to constantly be around each and everyone of them. It's just not possible.
>>44002258
If OMG had beef with Riku and needed to bring her in by force, he would go himself, and might take Shunsui, Byakuya, and Unohana with him for insurance.
>>44002476
I'm dubious about that in scale at least both he and his sword have limited attention spans.
>>44002484
I feel sorry for shuhei, he's the only one who was matched up against someone without having an overwhelming advantage.
>>44002484
"good vs anyone with out exceptional senses and a quick wit, or a stupid powerful bankai' basically describes the abilities of everyone we've gotten on our side
>>44002496
He's a busy man. Wonder why he decided to try and sick the two of them on Riku right away?
Maybe get a feel for the strength of Riku's team, but he basically lost Tosen for a few days.
>>44002516
Yeah, any time a captain killer is loose, they often bring about a half dozen captains to bring them down. Overwhelming force.
>>44002534
Less serious fight, Iba just wanted to brawl a little and see how the newbie was. He knew he might need to bring his captain to the 4th.
>>44002516
supposedly Central 46 did this, not OMG. different authorities
>>44002534
yeah, but Iba's a cool dude. Great option for breaking in the newbie
>>44002165
Striking from behind? Where is the justice in that captain dreadlocks? Then again that has more to do with honor then justice, but you get what I mean, right? In the end... Poor show captain, poor show.
>>44002578
Komamura is likely grumpy from this whole thing. His bankai got BTFO, then watches Tosen try to sneak attack a Lt that blew him out?
>>44002534
Iba didn't actually want to fight all that much, so it's fine.
>>44002578
you expected something else? Tosen's "morals" are the most hypocritical I've ever seen
>>44002349
“What a lazy way to fight,” you comment, noticing that this third Rangiku is unharmed aside from a few scratches. Those probably weren't even from the Bankai, but rather the clashing of their respective Shikai. “Still, damn proud of you. When did you make the switch?”
“Bout five seconds after he used Bankai,” Rangiku admits sheepishly. “Figured he was probably delivering some sort of monologue, so I used that time to release Bankai and make preparations. The tactile feedback from Haineko's ashes let me know how to adjust the clone's performance appropriately.”
“So... really, Captain. What do we do with him?”
“Leave him,” you reply with a shrug. “Not worth you killing him, and I want him to face a proper trial. His death won't change anything, but at least lording the moral high ground over him will be satisfying.”
Your daughter laughs at the notion. “You're not wrong!”
“Incredible,” Komamura groans. “How is it that two Captains were so woefully inadequate?”
“It's because we're better than anyone thought!” Rangiku explains. “Also, because our hearts and thoughts are pure.”
You can't help but cock an eyebrow at her for that comment. “Take it easy there, kiddo.”
“You've mentioned a few times that you have a grudge against Kaname,” Komamura continues, taking the time to choose his words carefully. “Why is that? What crimes has he committed?”
>Tell him everything. Aizen's not influencing him right now anyway.
>Tell him that Kaname was likely involved in the Hollowfication Incident, sparing the details... like how you know that, for example.
>Explain that Kaname's a traitor, and that you'll show him the proof when the time is right.
>Tell him to ask for himself when the traitor wakes up.
>Other?
>>44002613
>Tell him that Kaname was likely involved in the Hollowfication Incident, sparing the details... like how you know that, for example.
>Tell him to ask for himself when the traitor wakes up.
>>44002578
Isn't the code that all shinigami are taught
". If you wish to protect that which you must protect......slice the enemy you must defeat from behind."?
>>44002613
>Tell him that Kaname was likely involved in the Hollowfication Incident, sparing the details... like how you know that, for example.
>Mention that we still have contacts among the Vahallans, who work with the Vizards. Tosen's previous captain was not impressed with his performance as a commando that night. Something about cutting his fellows down in cold blood.
>>44002613
>because our hearts and thoughts are pure
Rangiku staph. My heart cant take it.
>Tell him that Kaname was likely involved in the Hollowfication Incident, sparing the details... like how you know that, for example.
>>44002613
>>Explain that Kaname's a traitor, and that you'll show him the proof when the time is right.
