In the real world, all the Shinigami were surprised to see that it was such an ordinary-looking Wonderweiss who sealed Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Zanpakutō!
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: I see. It was with this method that Aizen was able to defeat Captain-Commander Yamamoto. Bah... was he able to scheme against Captain-Commander Yamamoto?
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Hmph, I used to think highly of Aizen... If he could fight Captain-Commander Yamamoto with his own abilities, I would still praise him...
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: What's wrong with that? The Arrancar we created are meant to be used as weapons. Should we only fight with swords and brute force?!
[Tier Harribel]: Fighting with only strength and no strategy is the behavior that should be looked down upon most.
[Tosen Kaname]: Captain-Commander Yamamoto thinks he's powerful, doesn't he? Then Lord Aizen is using his intelligence to outmaneuver you and make you defeat yourself.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: That's right—defeating you with what you're best at.
[Zommari Rureaux]: He is still the calm and composed Lord Aizen we're familiar with!
[Coyote Starrk]: Sure enough, all of us Espada combined are no match for Lord Aizen, who can easily deal with all you powerful opponents.
The Shinigami were speechless about this. This Aizen was indeed a master at psychological warfare!
[At this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, who could harm Aizen, began to rage and vowed to burn the enemy before him to ashes!
Even without his Zanpakutō, he believed he could deal with Aizen through combat alone!
Therefore, he quickly rushed toward Aizen, prepared to make him understand his fury.
However, Wonderweiss, who had been knocked far away, appeared again and blocked his attack.
Aizen simply observed indifferently. He seemed to believe he didn't need to take action.
This Wonderweiss had completely lost language and reason, so he didn't appear afraid at all, continuing to fight Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke with murderous intent:
"You're quite resilient. Since Ikkotsu cannot kill you, I'll show you my more powerful techniques..."
He was indeed worthy of being called the strongest Shinigami in a millennium.
Even having lost his Zanpakutō's power, he could easily defeat this opponent through physical prowess alone.
Soon:
BANG!
Wonderweiss was shattered to pieces by his "Sōkotsu" technique.
Witnessing Wonderweiss's tragic death—someone who had no emotions at all—Captain-Commander Yamamoto was somewhat moved:
"How pitiful! You even deprived him of feelings. How cruel you are, Aizen!"
Aizen observed Captain-Commander Yamamoto with interest, speaking indifferently:
"Cruel? To a soul that has become a Hollow, it has no meaning whatsoever."
"They merely hunt souls constantly."
"But I gave it purpose—that is the most merciful thing!"
"You crushed his soul to fragments, so obviously you are the crueler one."
Faced with Aizen, who was extraordinarily skilled at debate, Captain-Commander Yamamoto truly had nothing to say. No one could win an argument with Aizen.
"Hmph. I don't wish to exchange more nonsense with you, so speak more now! Because this will end soon."
Aizen still didn't panic, speaking coldly:
"Yamamoto Genryūsai... You actually ignored my words so much that you missed what I said earlier!"
"I mentioned before that Wonderweiss was created to seal Ryūjin Jakka..."
"To prevent flames from being generated and seal them within the blade."
"Are those flames the only ones?"
Captain-Commander Yamamoto tensed as he spoke, his mind buzzing again!
Aizen's demonic voice made him feel indescribably agitated...
"In fact, there are other flames—those that have been released from the sword."
"So where are these flames now?"
Upon hearing this, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's eyes widened as he thought of something terrifying.
He noticed the expanding Wonderweiss behind him.
Aizen's cold words continued:
"You understand the consequences of the power you unleashed with full strength, if it explodes instantly without distinguishing friend from foe, correct?"
At this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto rushed over quickly and used his body to resist the tremendous impact of the explosion!
BOOM!
Raging flames rushed skyward! One could imagine how terrible this explosion's power was!
If uncontrolled, the entire Karakura Town would surely be reduced to ashes!
However, although the explosion was contained, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's body was also battered and bruised.
He looked at Aizen breathlessly, his eyes filled with blazing flames.
Aizen was still praising him at this moment:
"With such a powerful explosion, he only suffered such minor injuries. He is indeed an extraordinarily powerful Shinigami!"
"If you hadn't used your body to block it, the flames would have completely destroyed the fragile barrier you established."
"Then this town would have been completely reduced to ashes."
"I am very grateful to you, because you also protected my world!"
Aizen could truly be said to have mastered psychological manipulation to its extreme.
What he said now was not only tremendously irritating but also impossible to refute.
Although Captain-Commander Yamamoto wanted to kill Aizen completely to stop his evil deeds, after suffering such a terrible explosion, he could only fall to the ground unwillingly while burning with rage, unconscious.
After all, this was the fire he had created himself, and even he couldn't bear it easily.
This was the power of the strongest fire-type Zanpakutō...
Only after Captain-Commander Yamamoto collapsed did Aizen slowly approach him:
"I will not say anything like 'sparing your life' to you. Your history is equivalent to Soul Society's history. So, at least let my sword see you off!"
But at this moment, Captain-Commander Yamamoto suddenly moved again and grasped Aizen's leg with his hand.
His eyes blazed brilliantly at this moment! Although panting, he still spoke imposingly:
"Don't make me repeat myself, boy—you are truly too naive..."
"Hadō Number 96! Ittō Kasō!"
It was exactly as everyone had anticipated.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto used his own hand as the price to seriously injure Aizen.
In the raging pillar of fire, Aizen struggled to escape the attack.
Although Aizen barely evaded this assault, he was also in a tremendously embarrassing state.
Aizen couldn't help but sigh:
"I still underestimated this captain! After falling into my trap, he could immediately abandon his charred body and transform it into a weapon..."
Then, Kurosaki Ichigo also launched a fatal attack against him.
BANG!
With a Getsuga Tenshō, he carved a deep wound on his shoulder.]
After witnessing this, the Shinigami were all filled with emotion!
[Komamura Sajin]: The Captain-Commander is so powerful. Even in this situation, he can still seriously injure Aizen and create opportunities for Kurosaki Ichigo's attack.
[Sasakibe Chōjirō]: Hmph, if Aizen hadn't used such dirty tricks, how could he have defeated our Captain-Commander?
[Sui-Feng]: But now his plan has been exposed to us, so even if he invades the real world again in the future, we will completely eliminate him.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: As long as his strange Arrancar Wonderweiss doesn't activate the sealing technique, our Captain-Commander will definitely defeat Aizen easily.
[Tosen Kaname]: Are you being presumptuous? Do you really believe this is all our Lord Aizen can accomplish?
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: There's no need to fight him. Even without this method, we can easily deal with Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
[Tier Harribel]: How much damage could you inflict on our Lord Aizen? Later, he was still able to fight and converse with his son.
The Arrancar were tremendously proud at this time! In terms of debate, the Shinigami basically couldn't compete with them.
While the Shinigami and Arrancar argued, the next scene appeared again.
[Previously, the scene where Kurosaki Isshin and Kurosaki Ichigo fought side by side against Gin Ichimaru and Aizen reappeared.
The previous perspective had always focused on Gin Ichimaru and Kurosaki Ichigo. Only now did everyone witness Aizen's battle.
After Kurosaki Ichigo absorbed Gin Ichimaru's attacks, Kurosaki Isshin fought Aizen with full strength!]
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Even after all that, the Captain-Commander still managed to hurt Aizen!
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: A millennium of experience doesn't disappear so easily.
[Aizen Sosuke]: I must admit, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's final gambit was impressive.
[Wonderweiss Margela]: ...Purpose... given... by Aizen-sama...
The epic confrontation between two titans—one relying on centuries of experience and indomitable will, the other on meticulous planning and psychological manipulation—left audiences in awe of both combatants' extraordinary capabilities.
