All parties were surprised, but also looked forward to the next scene.
In the scene:
Kurosaki Isshin suddenly said to Kurosaki Ichigo:
"Good, son, I know what we're going to do next."
"You have to practice here—this Final Getsuga Tenshō."
"Because the time density here is much higher than the outside world."
"At least 2000 times! If you practice here for 2000 hours, then only one hour will pass outside."
Hearing this, the audience was stunned.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: My goodness, this is too unreasonable! Can they hide here and develop slowly?
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: It seems that during this period, Kurosaki Ichigo will master the so-called Final Getsuga Tenshō!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: It sounds somewhat far-fetched, but after Aizen really eliminated the so-called Kōryū, it seems to work.
[Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Wow, Kurosaki Ichigo and his father are both strange. At this critical moment, they can still think of using this terrifying space to practice. I have to admit I'm impressed!
[Lille Barro]: Indeed... If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have enough time to run!
In Hueco Mundo, everyone was also somewhat confused!
"Oops! I didn't expect Kurosaki Ichigo would find an opportunity."
"Lord Aizen, you must not do such things again in the future."
Many Arrancars were still thinking: Was this Lord Aizen's mistake?
His actions would make countless people speechless... This cheating Kurosaki Ichigo might really have a chance to surpass him!
Although they didn't think the invincible Lord Aizen would lose to Kurosaki Ichigo! But this more than 2,000 times training time might really become an unstable factor!
Previously, Kurosaki Ichigo had already shown the violent Vasto Lorde form! If he could control this form during this period, would he really have a chance to compete with Aizen?
Facing other Arrancars' confusion, Aizen didn't take it seriously.
He said with interest:
"Oh, so what if that's the case? Do you really think I'll lose to Kurosaki Ichigo?"
"There really is no point in my becoming king if I don't have one or two worthy opponents!"
"After all, all these previous Shinigami were vulnerable."
"A game that's sure to win is really boring to play."
After hearing this, Aizen's subordinates were speechless.
This is really only Aizen who can act so pretentious! Perfect pretentiousness score!
They could only complain in their hearts:
"My goodness, Lord Aizen is really too extravagant!"
"But... it seems this is Lord Aizen's character!"
"If he doesn't show off, is he still Aizen?"
"Besides, it seems this isn't a whim anymore—he's just deliberately letting Kurosaki Ichigo win!"
"As expected of their Lord Aizen—in the end, he had to risk his life to make his son-like Kurosaki Ichigo surpass him."
"It seems in the future, when we see Kurosaki Ichigo's cheats or people with connections, we must avoid them."
The Arrancars under Aizen all understood each other tacitly: This Kurosaki Ichigo is not to be trifled with!
The video was still broadcasting live.
The video showed Kurosaki Ichigo's unique method.
He took out four special props and threw them at the slowly writhing purple flow. The tails of these props were tied to his hands with ropes.
He used his body's ability to create a barrier. Then, he sat cross-legged calmly.
To let his son practice, he even sacrificed his own spiritual power.
He said to Kurosaki Ichigo seriously:
"In the few months when my power is completely exhausted, you must ask Zangetsu about the training method of the Final Getsuga Tenshō!!"
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't waste any time and quickly took a posture to communicate with his Zanpakutō.
At this time, the audience could only complain madly.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Another father is helping Kurosaki Ichigo train, using up his own abilities to help him practice.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: I used to complain that Kurosaki Isshin always treats his son badly, but now I finally see his fatherly side, haha. Otherwise, I would have suspected he wasn't Kurosaki Ichigo's biological father.
[Haschwalth Jugram]: These two father-like characters are really interesting. One deliberately left a chance for Kurosaki Ichigo to practice, and the other cooperated very well. I even suspect they were in collusion.
Facing Kurosaki Ichigo who was cheating all the way, the audience really had many complaints.
This Aizen is really considerate!
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: Yes, this is a strange training method. Even I, who has a wide range of research, have never thought of this before.
[Kuchiki Rukia]: What is this Final Getsuga Tenshō they're talking about? Is there a strongest form of Getsuga Tenshō?
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: He's so confident that he and Kurosaki Ichigo can chase Aizen. It seems he's found a way to deal with Aizen.
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: I originally thought it was to use Kurosaki Ichigo's Vasto Lorde form.
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: I think we still have to rely on White... If the future relies on White to defeat Aizen, it would be really ironic.
[Suì-Fēng]: Yes! Although I don't know what this so-called White is, it should be a powerful Hollow that Aizen created with great difficulty and put into Kurosaki Ichigo's body.
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: And Kurosaki Ichigo is also Aizen's most perfect experiment. If he can really defeat Aizen, I don't know how he'll feel, haha.
Aizen remained calm about this:
[Aizen Sōsuke]: Oh, the most perfect experiment actually wants to defeat the master?! Although I'm very optimistic about Kurosaki Ichigo, I don't think this will happen.
[Aizen Sōsuke]: I just hope he can please me better—that would be great.
[Aizen Sōsuke]: If you can give me a little pressure and let me evolve stronger, I'll be very satisfied.
Aizen continued calmly, looking at Kurosaki Ichigo with a smile.
My future self has indulged me to this extent! Kurosaki Ichigo! You must not let me down!
In the projection at this moment:
Kurosaki Ichigo sat cross-legged, adopting the "Jinzen" posture to communicate with his Zanpakutō.
Soon, he entered meditation and synchronized his thoughts with his Zanpakutō.
The projection showed Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual space again, and this spiritual space was full of water! It was even more gloomy than before.
The tall buildings were directly submerged in water.
SPLASH!!
Kurosaki Ichigo was surprised! He kept sinking, trying to find a place without water here, but found he couldn't do it at all!
His world... why did it become like this?
At this time, a relatively thin figure suddenly appeared.
Kurosaki Ichigo loudly asked who he was?
The figure took off the hat on his head, revealing his face—a young man he had never seen before.
His eyes were melancholy and deep, and his appearance was stunning!
He said to Kurosaki Ichigo lightly:
"No wonder—this is your first time entering here with a Bankai mentality."
He suddenly produced a weapon in his hand! Tensa Zangetsu!!
Seeing Tensa Zangetsu appear, Kurosaki Ichigo was very surprised:
"Who are you? Are you Zangetsu?"
This handsome young man said something shocking:
"No, don't forget your Bankai's name—I am Tensa Zangetsu!!"
After witnessing this scene, the audience was shocked!
Wow! Are there so many people in Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual space? You could even play mahjong here!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: What the hell? A normal person only has one Zanpakutō spirit, right? You had two before, but now you have one more?
[Abarai Renji]: Is there any difference between Bankai and Shikai spirits?
[Kuchiki Rukia]: And this person seems somewhat familiar, like a younger version of the uncle from before?
[Hirako Shinji]: Wow, after becoming Bankai, he can still use beauty mode? What a vain uncle.
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: I... This is the first time I've seen this too... Why is there so much water in my spiritual space now?
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Obviously, Kurosaki Ichigo has serious mental problems, so the projected space becomes darker and darker...
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Is it really that difficult to communicate with Zanpakutō? I might as well just keep hacking away.
And in the real Soul Society, what surprised the Shinigami even more was...
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni shouted coldly:
"Hmph! Yhwach, don't think I don't recognize you just because you've changed your appearance! I won't forget you even if you turn to ash! Are you still pretending to be young?"
After hearing this, Hitsugaya Tōshirō was dumbfounded:
"Ah, this person is Yhwach? This is what Yhwach looked like when he was young?"
Unohana Retsu nodded:
"Indeed! The old man Zangetsu who appeared before was the same as when he fought us a thousand years ago, and the young man now is young Yhwach."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri was secretly trembling, his tone cold:
"No way? We saw he wasn't there before, so we thought it was good that White killed him... Unexpectedly, he finally came out again!"
Kyōraku Shunsui twisted his beard, puzzled:
"Why is he still in Kurosaki Ichigo's body when young?! Did Yhwach plan all this when he was young?"
After all, middle-aged Yhwach confused the Shinigami.
They also wondered if Yhwach was just faking his death in the battle thousands of years ago, and part of his soul could live with Kurosaki Ichigo, waiting for his future resurrection...
Kuchiki Byakuya was also shocked:
"Isn't this too scary? It was surprising enough that he was plotting against Kurosaki Ichigo a thousand years ago, but now or even before that?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni sighed:
"Indeed, although I defeated him, I actually don't know his full goal. I only know he wants to destroy Soul Society."
Faced with this mysterious plot, Captain-Commander Yamamoto couldn't understand it.
And Kurosaki Ichigo probably didn't expect his spiritual space would shock the Shinigami so much!
In the projection, something even more surprising to the audience happened!
This so-called Tensa Zangetsu quickly fought with Kurosaki Ichigo, causing a huge commotion in the spiritual space and creating massive tsunami vortexes.
Crash...
In reality, Kurosaki Ichigo's shoulder suddenly bled.
Kurosaki Isshin understood this very well and said to himself:
"This time Zangetsu is going to make a big splash, because my Zanpakutō is the same!"
"Ichigo, you must ask about the Zanpakutō's training method—this Final Getsuga Tenshō."
"But this isn't an easy thing to do—you'll understand the reason later."
"Zanpakutō doesn't want to teach us this move!"
At this moment, in Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual space, the young Yhwach had no smile, and his attacks were ruthless, making Kurosaki Ichigo unable to resist!
CLANG CLANG CLANG!!
Swords flashed, and every move hit vital points!
Kurosaki Ichigo was also confused and shocked.
In the past, it was fine for White to try to kill me! Why is it that now this old man, after becoming young, wants to kill me too?
Uncle Zangetsu! You've changed! Are you still the Uncle Zangetsu who stood behind me and fought side by side with me?
The audience was also very surprised:
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: My Uncle Zangetsu... Why is he like this? Could he be a disguised version of White? My Uncle Zangetsu would never be so rude to me!
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: Indeed, Ichigo's inner sword spirit seems scary. Is Bankai so mean to him?
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Who cares! Kurosaki Ichigo! If you're a man, kill him!
[Kurosaki Isshin]: As expected, this is how you train. Ichigo, you have to work harder! I can't help you!
In Soul Society, the Shinigami were complaining again:
"Does Kurosaki Ichigo have to fight every time he practices?"
"Are you fighting with Bankai this time?"
Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes gradually turned red:
"Could it be that for Kurosaki Ichigo to gain power, he'd have to take away their power, and that's why they resisted so much?"
Abarai Renji was even more imaginative:
"That's right! This Yhwach is threatened—will he have a showdown and tear his face off with Kurosaki Ichigo? Will he completely occupy Kurosaki Ichigo's heart?"
After hearing this, many Shinigami agreed:
"Why is Kurosaki Ichigo practicing Final Getsuga Tenshō? Does it conflict with Yhwach's interests?"
"So Yhwach is going to stop pretending and fight him to the death?"
"After that, will Kurosaki Ichigo awaken Quincy power?"
Ukitake Jūshirō even thought of the worst plan:
"Just like Kurosaki Ichigo turned into a Vasto Lorde before, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into Yhwach..."
Hearing this, the Shinigami drew sharp breaths: This is terrifying just to think about!
Is this an unprecedented betrayal by Zanpakutō?
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo fighting hard in the projection, all Shinigami sighed deeply.
Kurosaki Ichigo's life... is really unfortunate! Before, we complained he was very good at cheating... But if he wants to get these powerful abilities, he has to fight for his life!
I hope he can survive this time!
Hueco Mundo.
After witnessing this scene, Aizen was also confused.
It was strange enough that there was a middle-aged Yhwach in Kurosaki Ichigo's body! Unexpectedly, there's now a young Yhwach.
Why does Kurosaki Ichigo have so many weird powers?
Now that Yhwach is leading Kurosaki Ichigo's training process again, will he let him unlock new powers? Otherwise, he basically has no possibility of becoming stronger.
Could it be that this time, he'll awaken Quincy power? This is the power from his mother, Kurosaki Masaki, right?
If Quincy power prevails, will the Hollow White power in Kurosaki Ichigo still exist? What kind of monster will he become?
