"Secret Technique: Ikka Senjinka!"
Byakuya's voice, calm yet brimming with killing intent, rang like a divine oracle from Mount Olympus, pronouncing the false god's fall.
The Seireitei-sized sword array sent the Bleach world into a frenzy.

Las Noches
"Insane!"
"This power's the limit just below the Shinigami's peak! Who'd have thought that stoic guy would become this strong?"
Zommari's jaw dropped, his eyes dyed pink by the swirling cherry blossom blades.
He had once resented losing to Byakuya, believing he could've escaped with his Amor. But this god-slaying sword array crushed his defiance. Even one blade could erase him.
"No wonder he and the ice kid ranked—they're undeniably impressive," Grimmjow admitted, his usual arrogance subdued.
Even as a future Vasto Lorde, he acknowledged his inferiority.
"Grimmjow, you get it now?" Baraggan's hollow voice echoed from his throne. "As Vasto Lordes, we're nothing in that war. Aizen's strength, however, is undeniable—far above these two."
"Our only chance to rebel is when Aizen's ranking reveals Kyōka Suigetsu's secrets. That's the key to taking him down."
Ignoring Ulquiorra's presence, Baraggan openly stoked the Arrancars' hatred for Aizen.
"I agree," Yammy grinned savagely. "Once Aizen's secrets are exposed, the Shinigami will hunt him down. That's our chance to rise!"
Nnoitra's single eye gleamed with murderous intent, brandishing his crescent scythe. "I can't wait to cut off Aizen's head and vent all my frustrations!"

Back in the Video
Pink cherry blossoms and white frost collided, turning Silbern into a kaleidoscope of deadly beauty.
"It's over!" Byakuya declared, directing the countless blades at Gerard's head.
Lock-on! Critical hit!
With Tōshirō's freezing assist and Ikka Senjinka's pinpoint lethality—
Boom!
A planet-shattering explosion shook the screen, revealing Gerard's headless body crumbling.
"He's gone!"
"The giant Quincy's head is obliterated!"
"He did it! Captain Kuchiki, betting everything, succeeded!"
Cheers erupted across the Soul Society, from the Seireitei to the Rukongai, even reaching the remote Zaraki District.
Byakuya became a savior, his captain's haori bearing the "Six" emblem shining with the Kuchiki clan's honor.
"You did it, Captain!" Tōshirō exclaimed, his breathing rapid from excitement, though his spiritual energy was drained, reverting him to his youthful form.
"You held your own admirably," Byakuya said calmly, unfazed by his "god-slaying" feat.
As a captain and the Kuchiki clan head, protecting the Seireitei was his duty and his reason for being a Shinigami. There was no pride in simply doing his job.
"After killing this monster, only Yhwach and his blond aide remain," Tōshirō said, sheathing his Zanpakutō.
But—
Boom!
The area where Gerard's head was destroyed glowed with holy light, his shattered body reforming—not as flesh, but as a radiant, ethereal form.
"What… is happening?!"
Tōshirō turned, his mind reeling as beams of holy light converged, his anger flaring.
He can still revive?!
"Damn it!"
That single curse summed up his emotions and the absurdity of Gerard's Miracle.
Byakuya, too, gave up, his hands dropping. "I'm tired. Do whatever."
It wasn't that they didn't try—the enemy was piloting a Gundam!
How do you fight a cheater like that?
---
The Bleach world mirrored their despair.
"Damn it!"
From every corner, the same curse echoed as they watched Gerard reform as a light giant.
Ten captains had given their all, unleashing ultimate techniques, only for another absurd revival.
If the screen weren't indestructible, the enraged crowd would've smashed it to pieces.
The ranking round ended amid curses.
