[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Excellent, this explains why the captains could battle Aizen's forces with full strength.
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Perfect, then our town residents will be safe.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: That's good... That's really good...
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: I finally understand Aizen's plan. I believe we'll never give Aizen another opportunity to succeed in the future!
[Tier Harribel]: Hmph, this is beneficial for us as well—at least we know Soul Society's layout! We can target you accordingly.
The Shinigami and Espada began retorting and quarreling with each other.
Although the current scene wasn't a shocking battle sequence, it answered many questions and allowed countless Shinigami and Espada to obtain crucial information.
[Afterward, the scene shifted to Karakura Town.
The remaining Gotei 13 members were confronting the Hueco Mundo forces!
Captain-Commander Yamamoto addressed Aizen, who had emerged from the Garganta with perfect composure:
"Excellent, it appears we arrived in time."
Aizen responded calmly:
"I don't understand your meaning."
"I know this isn't the real Karakura Town, but it doesn't matter."
"Starrk, Baraggan, Harribel..."
"Come forth!"
The three strongest Espada under Aizen officially appeared.
Aizen remained unconcerned about the Gotei 13:
"If Karakura is in Soul Society, I'll destroy you first, then create the Ōken in Soul Society."
"Isn't this simple?"
"Before that, Las Noches is in your hands, Ulquiorra."
This was Aizen's confidence! As long as he was present, there would be no rivals before them!
A battle everyone anticipated was about to unfold on screen.
Witnessing so many terrifying opponents, the Shinigami all appeared grave.
They discussed how to handle these formidable enemies.
These subordinates alone were frightening enough, not to mention Aizen watching them menacingly! They didn't even know which opponents to prioritize.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke:
"All of you, retreat!"
He was about to begin:
"Reduce all creation to ash, Ryūjin Jakka!"
Captain-Commander Yamamoto officially released this most powerful fire-type Zanpakutō!
WHOOSH!
"Jōkaku Enjō!"
He swung his blade heavily! Flames like a sea of fire swept over, engulfing the enemies before him!
He created a flame barrier to seal Aizen's trio.
The flames released by Ryūjin Jakka formed like a massive palm, overwhelmingly enveloping the enemies instantly!
If Aizen and the other Shinigami wanted to break through from within, they would only face attacks from 6,000-degree scorching heat!
Therefore, Captain-Commander Yamamoto was confident he could contain Aizen's actions!
At this time, even other Shinigami were panicking and dodging, fearing being swept up in Captain-Commander Yamamoto's attack!
"Excellent, they won't be able to pass through the fire wall shortly. Let's eliminate the other opponents first!"
Witnessing Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's attack, the Shinigami said somewhat frantically:
"Oh, Captain-Commander, you're truly savage!"
"I nearly got caught!"
"It seems those guys really irritated him."
As long as their Captain-Commander was present, the other Shinigami were filled with fighting spirit! They all believed that if the old man took action, Aizen definitely wouldn't be his match!
As for Gin Ichimaru, still smiling within the fire wall, he said:
"Wow, so hot! Captain-Commander, please don't be so extreme."
"Captain Aizen, what should we do now?"
"It seems there's no way to join the battle?"
Aizen maintained his confident victory, speaking lightly:
"We don't need to engage in battle. This war will end without our intervention."]
At this moment, the initial scene of the Battle of Karakura Town was revealed to everyone.
After witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly admire the Captain-Commander's tremendous strength.
[Unohana Retsu]: As expected of the Captain-Commander! He blocked all three with one technique!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Hmph, as long as I don't fall, none of you are permitted to harm Soul Society.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: Oh, so all we need to do is defeat you? That's so simple—any Sternritter could accomplish it, correct?
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Come on, if you dare! Let me show you our Captain-Commander's power.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: As expected, you are the strongest Shinigami! You're not easily dealt with!
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: I finally understand why Aizen didn't eliminate them instantly from the beginning.
[Tier Harribel]: Tch! These Shinigami are merely gaining temporary advantage. Our Lord Aizen will emerge soon!
Everyone began arguing fiercely again!
Of course, the Shinigami had witnessed most of the Karakura Town battles. The screen quickly shifted!
[In the current projection, a previous battle scene that hadn't been fully shown appeared again.
The Gotei 13 was overwhelmed once more!
At this moment, Aizen easily defeated most of the captains.
Witnessing this scene, Ichigo Kurosaki could only swallow hard!
How should he deal with such an invincible Aizen? So many captains couldn't defeat him—did he still have a chance to overcome Aizen?
He could only rely on his sense of responsibility and charge forward futilely.
At this time:
BOOM!
A pillar of fire shot skyward, blocking Ichigo Kurosaki's path while preventing Aizen and other enemies from escaping...
Captain-Commander Yamamoto finally took action.
Aizen remained composed:
"Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, you've finally arrived."
"If we defeat you completely, the so-called Gotei 13 will be dead in name only."
"You've already lost your opportunity—you shouldn't have even appeared!"
Even when facing Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Aizen believed he was completely incapable of stopping him!]
After witnessing this scene, everyone was tremendously surprised:
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: Ah, it's the battle we didn't see previously. We didn't know what happened to the Captain-Commander then, so now we can finally witness this confrontation?
[Aizen Sosuke]: If nothing unexpected occurs, Captain-Commander Yamamoto will definitely be defeated by me, correct? After all, there's no scene of him appearing afterward.
[Komamura Sajin]: Impossible! Captain-Commander Yamamoto is the strongest Shinigami—you cannot deal with him.
[Sasakibe Chōjirō]: Before Ichigo Kurosaki's birth, he was definitely the strongest among Shinigami. How could you possibly defeat him? You must have used some trick to deceive him.
[Aizen Sosuke]: Indeed, I must admit Captain-Commander Yamamoto is tremendously strong, so I won't engage him head-on without preparation.
[Aizen Sosuke]: My favorite approach is defeating you in the manner you despise most.
[Aizen Sosuke]: Doesn't Captain-Commander Yamamoto believe that because he's militarily powerful, there's basically nothing commendable about his strategic thinking?
[Aizen Sosuke]: Then I'll defeat him through cunning, leaving him with great power but nowhere to apply it.
[Gin Ichimaru]: Haha, he's still the ruthless Captain Aizen!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Hmph, bring it on!
[Hearing Aizen's mockery, Captain-Commander Yamamoto snorted coldly!
"Don't be so arrogant, boy. You believe you can kill me at your level?"
Aizen smiled confidently:
"I didn't wonder whether I could kill you—I already can."
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni shouted:
"Nonsense!"
The next second, Aizen appeared behind Captain-Commander Yamamoto and pierced his body with his Zanpakutō.
However, at this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto smiled and grasped Aizen's hand:
"I've caught you, Aizen!"
Aizen spoke calmly:
"How interesting. Even if you've caught me, what then? Is the hand you've grasped truly mine?"
Aizen, possessing Kyoka Suigetsu, wasn't afraid of these Shinigami at all.
Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni ignored his taunting completely:
"If relying solely on sight, that would be correct."
"However, I wouldn't misjudge the spiritual pressure of the Zanpakutō that pierced my abdomen."
"You mentioned I lost an opportunity... Actually, it's the opposite. It was to create this opportunity..."
"That's why I've waited until this moment!"
At this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto finally possessed the confidence to crack Kyoka Suigetsu and damage Aizen!
This was the crucial reason he had been enduring all this time! The purpose was ensuring Aizen could be eliminated with one strike!
At this moment, audiences were in an uproar! Unexpectedly, Captain-Commander Yamamoto could also crack Kyoka Suigetsu!]
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Wait, the Captain-Commander figured out how to beat Kyoka Suigetsu?!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Impressive. Using spiritual pressure instead of sight—quite clever.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: A thousand years of experience taught me never to rely on a single sense.
[Gin Ichimaru]: Captain Aizen, this looks troublesome...
The revelation that Captain-Commander Yamamoto had found a method to counter Kyoka Suigetsu sent shockwaves through all audiences, as the ultimate battle between experience and innovation reached its critical moment.
