[In the projection, after inheriting the Quincy power from Uncle Zangetsu and watching him fade away with such dignity, Kurosaki Ichigo muttered to himself in a tone that was both melancholy and uplifting.
"Yes! You and that guy are both absolutely right."
"You saved me with the Quincy's protective shadow, healed me with the Quincy's blood, and lent me the Quincy's power."
"You helped me when I was incredibly weak and vulnerable."
"Zangetsu, it doesn't matter who you are! Whether it's you or White, you are definitely my Zangetsu!"
That's right! Kurosaki Ichigo wanted them both!
This demonstrated that he was no longer a naive child, but had grown into a mature adult capable of complex decisions!
This wasn't being a scumbag - this was achieving the best of both worlds!
Facing these two entities who loved him so deeply, Kurosaki Ichigo simply couldn't let either of them down!
So at this pivotal moment, the Zangetsu he intended to create would be a dual blade - representing both aspects of his power!]
In the chat group, everyone was amazed by Ichigo Kurosaki's decision.
[Nimaiya Oetsu]: Oh, this little Ichigo is quite greedy! He actually wants both of them to be his Zangetsu?
[Kirinji Tenjiro]: Yeah, I originally thought he was going to say goodbye to that "Yhwach" figure, but it turns out they're still deeply attached to each other.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: What will Ichigo's new generation Zangetsu look like?
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Kurosaki Ichigo truly is a deeply devoted person. Could he actually possess two separate Zangetsu blades?
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: A Zanpakuto that combines both Quincy power and Hollow power? That's genuinely unprecedented and will never be replicated!
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Does Ichigo have to say goodbye to the powers within his body again? I really feel reluctant about this!
[Ichimaru Gin]: Not letting down anyone who loves you? How touching. This is very similar to our gentle Captain Aizen and myself!
[Shiba Isshin]: We're genuinely moved here, so you bastards please stop ruining the atmosphere!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Kurosaki Ichigo, you've completely changed your perspective on Uncle Zangetsu and White. What about me? You should also recognize my good intentions!
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: I... I don't want to talk to you, Aizen!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Very good, Kurosaki Ichigo, just keep moving forward with such determination!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Say goodbye to your past limitations and defeat that detestable Yhwach!
[Aizen Sosuke]: The Uncle Zangetsu within your body is simply a force that assists you. He's completely different from the evil Yhwach.
Yhwach also began speaking nonsense in order to compete for Kurosaki Ichigo's loyalty.
[Yhwach]: Kurosaki Ichigo, are you certain that what Uncle Zangetsu told you is actually true? Previously, these entities within your body said so many ambiguous and contradictory things. Do you really think you should believe Uncle Zangetsu now?
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: I... I just want to believe it! This is the instinct flowing through my genes!
Kurosaki Ichigo, who had grown accustomed to being manipulated, was finally trying to resist the words of these various "fathers."
Even though he was only seeing future scenes on the screen at this moment, he firmly believed in his choice!
It seemed that Uncle Zangetsu was like his mother in many ways... How could his mother ever want to hurt anyone?
[Yhwach]: Besides, this so-called Uncle Zangetsu never explicitly said that he wanted to oppose me or kill me!
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: Yhwach, stop making excuses! We can all clearly see what this Uncle Zangetsu truly wants to express!
[Shiba Isshin]: Ichigo, don't listen to their manipulation. Always remember that protecting your friends is the correct choice!
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Don't worry! I know exactly what I need to do in the future!
[In the projection, under the infusion of overwhelming power, Kurosaki Ichigo escaped from the bottomless spiritual ocean and saw the light of reality once again.
Back in the physical world, he walked toward the blazing forging flames that Nimaiya Oetsu was maintaining, his expression filled with unwavering determination.
The ethereal female Zanpakuto spirits were genuinely surprised by his transformation.
These were incredibly hot and intense forging flames - dangerous beyond measure!
Nimaiya Oetsu said with an approving smile:
"Excellent work, Ichigo! Now inject your soul into the flames, and the process will be complete. This will be your authentic Zanpakuto - pull it out!"
At the moment when Kurosaki Ichigo injected his soul into the forging process, an incredible transformation began.
BUZZ!
Extremely powerful spiritual pressure exploded outward rapidly, erupting with tremendous heat and devastating shock waves!
The surrounding ocean within a radius of several miles evaporated instantly under the incredible energy release. It was truly like burning the sky and boiling the sea - reminiscent of a legendary fire sword being born!
The steam swept in all directions like a massive tsunami! The sword forging platform where Kurosaki Ichigo stood became like an isolated island surrounded by churning vapor!
The real Zangetsu was finally being born!
The special effects of this appearance alone were absolutely breathtaking!
The screen continued broadcasting this live transformation. At this moment, Nimaiya Oetsu, who had been smiling with satisfaction, began offering his explanation.
"That's correct - he's no longer pretending to be a Zanpakuto spirit."
Kurosaki Ichigo spoke to himself with newfound clarity and resolve:
"Zangetsu! I will never ask you to lend me your power again, and I will never tell you to stop interfering with my battles."
"I won't demand that you fight alongside me anymore."
"From now on, I will fight using my own authentic strength. Thank you for everything!"
"Zangetsu, you are part of me!"
His soul completely merged with the two blades materializing before him.
In Kurosaki Ichigo's hands, two distinctly different black Zanpakuto appeared, each with its own unique characteristics.
His left hand held a shorter blade representing the power of the Quincy - elegant and precise in its design.
His right hand grasped a longer sword representing the fusion of Hollow and Shinigami powers. The blade featured a distinctive hollow section near the handle, symbolizing its complex dual nature.
Even though they were in the physical world, the audience could clearly perceive two ghostly figures in the sky surrounding Ichigo Kurosaki!
Uncle Zangetsu and White!
They represented their eternal protection for Kurosaki Ichigo!
Although they could no longer manifest directly for the time being, they would continue using their combined strength to safeguard Ichigo Kurosaki! Ichigo had finally grown up completely!
It was time for him to achieve true independence!
BUZZ!
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's regal aura was completely unleashed!]
Seeing this incredible transformation, the entire audience erupted in amazement!
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: What overwhelming spiritual pressure! I really want to fight Kurosaki Ichigo right now!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: He's significantly stronger now than ever before. It's difficult to say which state is more powerful - this form or the state he achieved in his final battle against Aizen?
[Matsumoto Rangiku]: Either way, it represents power far beyond our imagination!
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Even if he's not quite as strong as his former Mugetsu form, at least his endurance and sustainability are far superior to that temporary transformation.
[Ukitake Jushiro]: Of his two Zanpakuto, one originates from the Hollow within his body, while the other comes from his Quincy power?
[Shiba Isshin]: They will definitely be wielded by Kurosaki Ichigo effectively, and Ichigo can no longer be described simply as either a Shinigami or a Quincy.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: His Zanpakuto were already unusual enough, but I never expected these two to be equally extraordinary!
[Ukitake Jushiro]: My twin swords pale in comparison to his! At least mine maintain similar forms. These represent the only true dual-wielding setup in all of Soul Society!
[Unohana Retsu]: Kurosaki Ichigo's power will definitely exceed our wildest expectations, and defeating Yhwach should no longer be an impossible task!
[Komamura Sajin]: I suddenly realized that Uncle Zangetsu seemed like Ichigo's mother figure! Only a mother would desperately want to keep her son away from dangerous battlefields!
[Rukia Kuchiki]: That's absolutely right! Compared to White, this Uncle Zangetsu was indeed much gentler and more protective. It's no exaggeration to say he filled a maternal role.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Hey, you're going too far! Treating His Majesty like Ichigo's mother - how can that be tolerated?
At this moment, the audience was absolutely amazed by Kurosaki Ichigo's transformation. They were eagerly anticipating his future performance and battles.
After successfully creating his authentic Zangetsu, just how powerful would Kurosaki Ichigo become?
Could he defeat Jugram Haschwalth, who had previously broken his sword, or even face Yhwach himself in direct combat?
As everyone watched with growing anticipation, a previous scene suddenly appeared on the screen.
[After his intense battle with Gremmy "The Visionary," Zaraki Kenpachi had successfully defeated the imagination-wielding Quincy using his newly released Shikai, Nozarashi.
At this crucial moment, the first thing Zaraki Kenpachi thought of was finding his beloved partner Yachiru!
But despite searching the entire battlefield thoroughly, he could only discover the lieutenant's badge and shoulder straps belonging to the 11th Division's vice-captain.
It seemed as though she had vanished into thin air without a trace.
Although Zaraki Kenpachi desperately tried to sense Kusajishi Yachiru's spiritual pressure, the strange thing was that she didn't seem to be anywhere on this battlefield at all.
Zaraki Kenpachi immediately ordered the other Shinigami to begin searching for Kusajishi Yachiru.
But at that critical moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clear sky!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All of these Shinigami were struck by the devastating electrical attack!
The acrid smell of burning flesh filled the entire battlefield as screams echoed continuously.
Simultaneously, four women made their dramatic entrance under the brilliant illumination of thunder and lightning!
The female members of the Sternritter!
The one who had unleashed the lightning was "T" Candice Catnipp!
Her holy letter represented "The Thunderbolt!"
After Candice released her electrical assault and arrived on the battlefield, Zaraki Kenpachi quickly moved behind her position and swung his sword with lethal intent.
However, as the living embodiment of thunder and lightning, Candice possessed incredible speed and easily dodged Zaraki Kenpachi's attack. She immediately retaliated with another lightning strike that directly paralyzed his nervous system.
Then another pink-haired girl appeared and used her tremendous brute strength to slam Zaraki Kenpachi directly into the ground with devastating force.
BANG!
Seeing this, other members of the Shinigami forces quickly moved to engage these female Quincy warriors.
A cute girl with short blonde hair and distinctive bangs suddenly transformed her mouth into an enormous, gaping maw!
Her mouth could grow bigger and longer at will, and she used it to directly bite off and consume a Shinigami's entire body!
She spoke while chewing with her grotesquely distorted mouth:
"Of course, our opponent is Zaraki Kenpachi after all, so this level of resilience is understandable! We must take advantage of his exhaustion and finish him off in one decisive strike!"
She was "G" Liltotto Lamperd - "The Glutton!"
Zaraki Kenpachi still wanted to rush forward and engage them in combat, but at this moment he was already covered with severe wounds from his previous battle, so he was quickly knocked to the ground by repeated lightning strikes.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At this moment, Zaraki Kenpachi was like a mighty tiger trapped on flat ground, being bullied by opportunistic scavengers...]
Seeing this dire situation, everyone expressed their surprise and concern!
[Madarame Ikkaku]: I never expected that Captain Zaraki would encounter such danger! Is this the scene immediately after he fought Gremmy "The Visionary"?
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Yes! He's been fighting for so long, so it's completely natural that he wouldn't have the energy to continue battling these new opponents.
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: Ah, Ken-chan, don't be so careless! They're taking advantage of your weakened state - how can you let yourself be so vulnerable?
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: Hmph, I just look down on their cowardly tactics! That Gremmy at least gave me an honorable fight. But this bunch of opportunistic cowards - I didn't see them take action before when it mattered!
[Candice Catnipp]: Hey, what are you saying! Maybe we just happened to arrive at the right moment. No matter how strong you are, I'd dare to fight you in a proper one-on-one duel!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: So these are Quincy as well? Four women who seem quite formidable!
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Are we not going to see what happens after Kurosaki Ichigo forges his new Zanpakuto? I'm genuinely looking forward to this!
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: Do I need Kurosaki Ichigo to come rescue me next? How frustrating! If I could recover from my injuries, it shouldn't be too difficult to cut down these Quincy with a single strike.
Zaraki Kenpachi was indeed very angry and concerned at this moment.
Although he loved fighting, he preferred fair combat! He wasn't afraid of death, but he was terrified of losing future opportunities to battle worthy opponents!
As for the Quincy, they were naturally quite pleased with this development.
[Lille Barro]: Are we Quincy about to start another massacre of the Shinigami? You Shinigami are just pathetic!
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Hmph, finally giving our female warriors a chance to demonstrate their abilities!
[Bambietta Basterbine]: Go get them! But wait, everyone else showed up except me?
[Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Hah, what are you so proud of? It's all thanks to me that you got a weakened Zaraki Kenpachi to fight!
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: You Quincy shouldn't get too complacent. Don't forget that Kurosaki Ichigo hasn't appeared yet!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Exactly, you should know that every time Kurosaki Ichigo completes his training, he has a tremendously dramatic moment... I wonder if this time will be like his Final Getsuga Tensho?
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Aizen, you still dare to bring that up? You were taught a terrible lesson!
[Aizen Sosuke]: A truly strong person never denies their past failures! Only by acknowledging them can one advance to higher levels! Besides, I may not have been the true loser in my battle with Kurosaki Ichigo! Moreover, I will definitely play a crucial role in this upcoming conflict!
