Chapter 32

Kinji slowly made his way towards the Sokyoku Hill as several members of the Kido Corp followed behind him. His dark purple Haori slightly fluttered in the wind as a small breeze whisked through the air. A silent tension was growing in the atmosphere as the time of the execution was near. It would start the moment that he arrived on the Hill and so he took his time to get there.

Ding.

It was then he heard the jingle of his denreishinki and quickly took a peek at the message that was sent.

Hm? It's from Yushiro. Finally, it looks like he's ready.

A smile graced Kinji's lips and his mood slightly perked up causing a member of the Kido Corp behind him to tilt their head to the side and curiously ask, "Umm...Commander? What is it? Did something good happen?"

Kinji coughed and quickly switched his demeanor back to his solemn and emotionless one as he replied, "It's but a private matter."

That Kido Corp member sensing that Kinji didn't want to elaborate or say anything further was tactful enough not to ask anything more. It wasn't long after before they arrived atop the large Hill. A solemn tension filled the air as Kinji took note of everyone who was present. Captain Ukitake stood off to the side of the giant guillotine archway along with Sentaro and Kiyone.

Toshiro stood opposite of Jushiro along with Rangiku right behind him.

Captain Kyoraku was present standing next to Jushiro with his straw hat covering his current facial expression. Nanao silently stood beside her Captain holding a large book in her arms keeping her eyes closed and emotions to herself.

Captain Komamura stood next to Toshiro with Iba obediently standing behind him.

Captain Unohana and Isane took up their positions by Kyoraku and Nanao.

Captain Soi Fon stood to the left of Komamura simply waiting for the entire ordeal to be over with whilst Omaeda stood behind her eating a bag of potato chips. Everyone present could tell that the loud chewing sounds made from Omaeda's snacking were starting to get on Soi Fon's nerves.

And last but not least, the Captain Commander Yamamoto was present along with his Lieutenant, Chojiro as they stood at the head of everyone with Yamamoto preparing to give his address. Rukia and Hinamori were already standing before the giant guillotine arch.

Kinji silently mused to himself noting how different the facial expressions of Rukia and Hinamori were. Rukia had a calm and graceful look showing that she remained fearless and unconcerned in the face of being executed. Hinamori on the other hand had an expression of dejection and loss. Her eyes reflected nothingness and emptiness. Kinji knew it was most likely because she got word that Aizen had died. He took one more sweeping glance around before raising his eyebrow in curiosity.

Huh...I wonder if Captain Kuchiki will app-

His thought was left unfinished as he took note that Byakuya finally arrived completely alone and walked straight past him taking a silent stand off to the side of Unohana. He gave no outward appearance of being emotionally affected by the entire ordeal at all, however only he himself knew what struggles he was currently internally fighting. Kinji's eyes rested on the stoic Noble Captain for a moment in curiosity.

Well...I guess that answers my question. Eh?

Kinji took note of some white linen cloths wrapped around Byakuya's left arm and the torn stitched up Captains Haori on his back and immediately thought about Kishin.

Seems that he injured Byakuya in their little confrontation from earlier. Well, it seems like about half of the Captains of the Gotei 13 are present. Only Kurotsuchi, Zaraki, Tosen, Aizen, and Ichimaru are missing. I wonder where Kishin is hiding.

It was then that Kinji was brought out of his thoughts as Yamamoto slammed his giant wooden cane on the ground to gather everyone's attention. In his wise old voice he turned to address Rukia and Hinamori. "Kuchiki Rukia. Hinamori Momo. Do you have any last words to say?"

…

There was a quiet moment of still silence as a solemn feeling permeated the air. Hinamori simply shed a single tear and shook her head. The look of lost hope as if there were no meaning left in the world was present on her face. That look made Toshiro's heart throb in pain. Rangiku placed an encouraging hand on Toshiro's shoulder feeling useless knowing that she couldn't do anything to help her Captain.

Rukia who stood next to Momo also shook her head. "No. I have made my peace." Her calm and graceful demeanor caused many of the Captain's to feel a bit perplexed and awe at how fearlessly she faced her execution head-on.

Yamamoto curiously glanced at the two prisoners before grunting and tapping his large wooden cane on the ground again. "Very well. Release the Sokyoku."

Kinji inwardly sighed and nodded taking up a position near one of the large wooden posts that had one of the giant ropes tied to it which held the Sokyoku in place. He placed his own cane on the ground and commanded the other Kido Corp members, "Take your positions. Let us begin."

With their orders given they all weaved a few hand signs before a burst of light blue reiatsu erupted from around the Sokyoku. In mere seconds after that the giant ropes that held the sealed Sokyoku in place began to rip and tear apart before flying off into different directions down below the giant cliffside hill. It was then that three stone boxes hovered in front of Rukia and Hinamori. One for both of their arms and one by their legs. Those boxes tethered them to it, and as it slowly ascended into the air it brought them with, only stopping when they reached the top of the giant guillotine archway.

BOOM!

Not a moment later the giant halberd that was the Sokyoku burst into a blazing tornado of heat and fire taking on the form of a giant flaming phoenix. Rukia felt her heart beat faster and faster as she stared at the true form of the Sokyoku. Its burning heat made her skin feel dry as a prickly sensation like she was being stabbed by needles roamed all over her body, however she closed her eyes and took deep breaths filling her thoughts with Kishin. The memory of his handsome face, his warm body, the gentleness of his touch...her heart soon began to find its calm. During her stay in the Senzaikyu she had heard that he was accused of killing Aizen which caused her to immediately worry for his safety. Even though he told her not to pay attention to any rumors or events going on within the Seireitei it didn't lessen her concerns.

The rumors and information going around had only gotten more and more dramatic. There were orders for his arrest, then she heard that he injured two Captains and that the new order was no longer just capturing him alive, but dead or alive. Then she had heard that he had gone missing. Worst of all was that she was stuck in the Senzaikyu powerless to go confirm what the truth was. She was thrown in even more turmoil when she felt Renji's reiatsu fall to life threatening levels. Then to top it off she felt the fierce fighting reiatsu of both Kishin and Byakuya. Even though the walls of the Senzaikyu were made of Sekkiseki minerals, with the level of strength and power that both Byakuya and Kishin possessed their reiatsus were able to leak through the prison tower and let her sense their presence. She was heartbroken because there was no way she could hope for either one of them to come out victorious. She wanted only for them both to be safe. Thankfully in the end she felt that the fight between them had ended prematurely with no change in either of their life force presence.

Kishin...you're okay right?

She quickly returned to her calm mental state and gave a quick glance down at Byakuya who currently kept his eyes closed and facial expression indifferent.

Nii-sama...

Shen then also decided to keep her eyes closed and focused on the image of Kishin's face in her mind. It helped her find some solace and courage. Down below Yamamoto remained unfazed in the presence of the Sokyoku's true form and began to explain the nature of the execution's ritual. "Kiko-oh. The spearhead of the Sokyoku has taken on its true form as the officiating executioner to render the ultimate punishment! The execution will be over once the prisoners' bodies are pierced by it."

Everyone watched with bated breath at the spectacle. Some had looks of curiosity, some had looks of indifference, and some had looks of sadness, but Ukitake, Kyoraku, Toshiro, and Kinji had looks of expectance. Not expectance in the face of watching the execution play out, but rather in knowing that Yushiro was nearby and that the Sokyoku was about to be destroyed.

As if on cue when they were all thinking of Yushiro, a long rope flew down from the air and wrapped itself around the fiery phoenix's neck before it could move. Two giant steel rods at the end of that rope then fell down to the ground stabbing into the earth. The Sokyoku's true form screeched in anger and flapped its fiery giant wings, but in the end it was unable to do anything. Whilst everyone was still confused and shocked at what just happened, Yushiro dashed down from the air and placed his hand on one of the rods with a loud boisterous laugh.

"Bahahaha! Made it just in time!"

Kinji smirked and appeared before the other steel rod as he replied, "As if you were planning to be late in the first place."

"Hm?" Yamamoto grunted in shock at the unexpected turn of events.

FWOOSH!

Yushiro placed a giant wooden shield between the two of them that had the crest of the Shihoin Clan on it. Yushiro grinned and gripped the orange colored hilt of his Zanpakuto that was strapped behind his back.

Let's get this over with. I temporarily took out my Zanpakuto just for this Kishin. Technically I'm going against protocol by removing my Zanpakuto from within the Clan's sacred grounds, but with big sis's Zanpakuto still keeping the barrier formation together it'll be okay if my Zanpakuto is gone for a day or two.

Without wasting another second both Kinji and Yushiro unsheathed their Zanpakuto and stabbed it into the giant shield channeling their reiryoku into the artifact. Their immense energies quickly traveled along the rope wrapped around the Sokyoku's neck in a shining blue light and instantly caused the powerful phoenix to explode.

BAM!

A fierce whirlwind erupted as the Sokyoku completely disintegrated into broken fragments of flaming balls falling down towards the ground. The sky that had turned an orange hue from the Sokyoku's giant body had now returned to its clear blue color.

Soi Fon widened her eyes in shock and angrily glared at Yushiro as she shouted, "How dare you! You are the Head of the Shihoin Clan! Do you truly wish to follow in the footsteps of a traitor like Yoruichi that much?! You shame the Onmitsukido and your family name!"

Before Yushiro could even respond, a blinding blue light of reiatsu filled the giant guillotine causing it to shine and glow across the entire hill before creating a loud cracking noise as it burst and broke along the top of the connecting arch.

FWOOM!

CRASH!

A giant gaping hole also appeared beneath the arch looking as if someone had sent an attack straight down the middle of the ground piercing into the earth below. Everyone quickly turned their attention to the top of the execution stand and widened their eyes in shock once more. Standing on the broken archway were three individuals. They were Ichigo, Kishin, and Toshiro and between the three of them were Rukia and Hinamori.

Rukia slowly opened her eyes and immediately took in the site of Kishin holding her in his arms. He smirked at her delayed reaction and poked her cheek. "Not going to even say thank you?"

She pouted and elbowed him in the side before quickly wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug. "You idiot! I heard that you were accused of killing Captain Aizen! You're a wanted criminal! How did that happen?!"

Kishin awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged his shoulders in response. "Eh...things happened, but it's all part of the plan remember?"

She glared up at him, but in the end she huffed out a sigh in defeat. It was then Ichigo interrupted their little reunion. "Ahem!"

"Hm?" Rukia turned her head and finally took notice of the strawberry headed Human. "Eh?! I-Ichigo? You're here too?"

A thick vein popped on his forehead at her reaction. "Oi! What kind of expression is that? I came here to save you and Momo. Tch. I even risked my life to get this far but," he pointed to Kishin and continued, "who knew that this guy already had everything planned out. Honestly I feel a bit useless here. He won't let me do anything. With him its all training this and training that and shut up and follow orders and blah blah blah. Yeesh, it's like having an annoying older brother around."

Kishin just smirked ignoring Ichigo's complaint and patted Rukia on the head before shoving her into Ichigo's arms.

"E-EH?!" Rukia and Ichigo both exclaimed unprepared at the same time.

Kishin ignored their shocked expressions and placed Rukia's Zanpakuto that he was carrying in her arms. "Take this. You might need it. Oh, and Ichigo, don't you dare let her out of your sight. If she gets hurt because of you I'll kill you myself. Oh, and don't even dare touch her in a weird way. I'll kill you. Also, don't even dare to look at her weirdly or you're dead."

Ichigo clicked his tongue in annoyance. "See what I mean? Why are you always ordering me around huh? I'm not one of your henchmen." He then stared down at Rukia with curiosity and asked, "Errr...what is your relationship with this violent guy anyways? He's an ass."

Rukia was left speechless for a moment, but before she could respond Toshiro coughed and interrupted. "Ahem. We should get going."

It was then that Yamamoto furrowed his brow and questioned, "What is the meaning of this? Captain Hitsugaya? You have decided to rebel and side with the traitor and the Ryoka?"

Soi Fon also shouted in anger and disbelief. "Kishin! You bastard! To go as far as helping the Ryoka infiltrate the Seireitei is one thing but THIS?! Destroying the Sokyoku and freeing the prisoners?! I can't believe you were once a member of the Onmitsukido! You're a disgrace to one who once bore the title of Commander of the Punishment Force! And to think you'd even give up your position as a Lieutenant. It appears Ukitake was too easy going on you!"

Ukitake who stood nearby immediately felt a bead of sweat drip down the side of his head feeling completely awkward as he heard Soi Fon cuss Kishin out.

Ahahaha...uhhhh...I wonder what Captain Soi Fon would say about me personally then when she finds out that I'm actually helping Shin-chan out...

Komamura's anger wasn't any less than Soi Fon's. In fact it was even greater as he glowered at Kishin. "Chigetsu Kishin! I've been waiting for you! You dared to take Tosen's arm! I will bring justice upon you and have you pay for your crimes!"

Jushiro and Kyoraku inwardly sighed at the same time knowing that total chaos was about to ensue, however they had already mentally prepared themselves for what was about to happen. Byakuya on the other hand was still conflicted as he recalled that Kishin told him he was going to save Rukia.

So this is what he meant back then. But what will he do now...is he so foolish to think that he will actually be able to save Rukia in this way?

Before anymore arguing, banter, and criticism could go on Yamamoto slammed his cane on the ground and commanded, "All Captains and Lieutenants, apprehend the prisoners as well as the traitors."

Kishin smirked and said, "Let's go."

"Right." Toshiro and Ichigo responded.

FWISH!

The three of them instantly utilized their Shunpo to dash towards the forest, however appearing right before them were Soi Fon and Omaeda, Komamura and Iba, and last but not least, Byakuya.

Soi Fon scowled and commented, "Did you really think that you can escape from us Captains? How naive. Exactly what did you think was going to happen? That you'd stop the execution and we'd just let you all walk out of here freely? Foolish!"

Rukia bit the bottom of her lip as she stared at Byakuya and whispered, "N-Nii-sama…"

Byakuya kept an emotionless facial expression, but he was inwardly filled with turmoil. Kishin waved his hand in the air and gathered everyone's attention as he replied, "With only three of you stopping us? Then it's practically no different than letting us walk off freely."

Soi Fon wanted to retort, however she was interrupted by the sound of Yushiro and Kinji appearing on the scene. Kishin smirked and nodded to them. "Great timing. A slight change of plans. Kinji, Yushiro, Toshiro, take Rukia and Hinamori and get out of here like we discussed."

Toshiro frowned and ventured to ask, "What about you and...the Ryoka?"

Kishin turned his head towards Ichigo before replying, "Don't worry about us. It's time for Ichigo to be of some use."

Ichigo glared back at Kishin and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tch. Bastard. It'd be nice if you filled me in on your change in plans beforehand."

Kishin just shrugged. "Can't be helped. I'm working on the fly." He took a moment to glance at Byakuya before continuing, "I hoped that Captain Kuchiki wouldn't interfere but I guess I wasn't previously convincing enough." He then felt the murderous intent hidden within Byakuya and awkwardly scratched the side of his cheek. "Haha...rather than convincing him to remain a neutral party I think I just convinced him to kill me even more."

Everyone gave a curious glance between Byakuya and Kishin for a quick moment noting that Byakuya seemed to hold some sort of personal grudge against Kishin, but they all quickly put that to the back of their minds and brandished their weapons in hand.

Soi Fon rested her hand on the hilt of her Zanpakuto as she said, "Do you really think that you all stand a chance? Kishin, Yushiro, you both are or were once part of the Onmitsukido. Surely you know what it means if I draw my swo-UH!"

She never got to finish her sentence as she was instantly whisked away into the distance by another intruder.

"EHHHH! C-C-CAPTAIN!" Omaeda shouted in alarm and confusion.

Kishin stared off into the distance mildly amused.

What impeccable timing, Yoruichi-san. Though we never discussed her doing something like this it seems she wanted a bit of time to confront her old subordinate.

Komamura growled noting the disadvantaged state he and Byakuya were in. Before he could make a move Kinji clapped his hands together and said, "Bakudo #85: Roppo Fujin!"

ZING!

A green colored three dimensional cross shaped barrier instantly enveloped the burly Captain keeping him stuck inside of it. Without waiting around to exchange more meaningless words, Kinji, Toshiro, and Yushiro disappeared with Rukia and Hinamori. Rukia wanted to stay, however she was forcefully taken away by Yushiro. This left only Byakuya, Omaeda, Iba, a trapped Komamura, Ichigo, and Kishin.

"Well...this is awkward." Kishin lightly commented.

Byakuya frowned and unsheathed his Zanpakuto. "Kurosaki Ichigo. Chigetsu Kishin. I shall erase you both together."

Komamura also chimed in as he quickly said, "Lieutenant Omaeda. Iba. Captain Kuchiki and I will leave the Ryoka for the both of you to handle."

Iba worriedly glanced at the barrier that still kept Komamura trapped and asked concernedly, "But what about you Captain?"

Komamura growled and unsheathed his Zanpakuto. "This barrier won't hold me...Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Myo'o!"

WHOOSH!

A giant armored samurai quickly appeared behind Komamura and slashed down with its giant blade.

ERRRRRRKKKK!

A loud screeching and fierce silver green light flashed in the surrounding area as Komamura attempted to break Kinji's spell. Every second that passed caused more and more cracks to appear on the green barrier. Komamura gritted his teeth and held his ground pushing his blade against the barrier growling out in intense focus until finally, a loud shattering noise echoed in the area as the barrier finally broke into pieces.

Ichigo furrowed his brow and questioned, "What now?"

Instead of answering Ichigo directly, Kishin quickly placed out his palm and shouted, "Hado #3: Hirameku!"

ZING!

A flash of bright blinding white colored light erupted from Kishin's hand causing everyone to quickly shut their eyes. A couple seconds later and the light disappeared, however Iba and Omaeda were nowhere to be seen. Ichigo widened his eyes in confusion and glanced at Kishin. "What the...what happened to the other two guys?"

Kishin simply shrugged. "Just some insignificant flies. They shouldn't bother us again for awhile."

"Eh? What did you do t-"

Cling!

Ichigo grunted as he slashed out with his giant sword to block Byakuya's attack. "Oi. I was still talking."

Byakuya frowned and slid his blade along Ichigo's attempting to slash at Ichigo's arms, however Ichigo quickly countered by taking a quick step back whilst twisting and pushing his blade against Byakuya's to disengage from their interlocked position. "Heh. Compared to Kishin's Shunpo you're a bit slow, Kuchiki Byakuya."

Byakuya narrowed his eyes in disapproval at Ichigo's remark. "So you were training during your disappearance."

"Yeah. That's right. Don't think that things will go the same way as when we last fought, Kuchiki Byakuya." Ichigo replied while completely focusing his attention on the Captain.

It was then that Kishin coughed and gently patted Ichigo on the shoulder. "He's all yours."

"E-EH?! Wait, where are you going?" Ichigo wanted to ask Kishin what was going on, but it was too late. Kishin already dashed off into the distance. Byakuya was about to give chase, however Ichigo clicked his tongue and said, "Oi. I don't think it's a good idea for you to turn your back to me."

Byakuya paused and glanced at Ichigo with contempt. "You think you can stop me on your own?"

Ichigo smirked. "Well, the last time we fought I was definitely not your match, however��" He immediately raised his reiatsu to incredibly high levels causing a violent whirlwind to swirl in the surrounding area as he recalled his training with Kishin. "Heh. As much as that guy irks me it remains a fact that I got a lot stronger thanks to him. I think holding you here won't be much of a problem."

Byakuya narrowed his eyes in caution as he stared at Ichigo feeling inwardly confused.

What's going on? This child is only a Human yet he can exude such spiritual pressure...what did Kishin do to him?

It was then that Komamura quickly chimed in. "Do not worry Captain Kuchiki. I won't let that traitor escape." He deactivated his Bankai and quickly dashed after Kishin's trail...

Meanwhile up on the Sokyoku Hill stood Yamamoto, Unohana, Kyoraku, and Ukitake along with their subordinates. None of them had yet to move a single step from their spot causing the Captain Commander to curiously glance at Kyoraku and Ukitake. "Why are you both still here?"

Ukitake attempted to fake cough and replied, "Eh...Eh...ah, guess my health isn't the greatest right now. Haha…"

Kyoraku also attempted to make an excuse as he gave a long yawn and said, "Yamaji, it's alright isn't it? I mean three Captains gave chase already. I didn't stretch this morning. Who knows? I might pull a hamstring or something."

Unohana silently mused to herself whilst Yamamoto remained unamused. He slammed his cane on the ground and scolded, "Enough! I have already given the order. You two are to join the other Captains and retrieve the traitor, Ryoka, and the prisoners."

…

Silence.

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes and gave one long good look at the two Captains before asking with an angry undertone, "What is it? You two seem to have something you wish to say."

Ukitake struggled to find his words so in the end it was Kyoraku who said with a loud sigh. "Haaah...Yamaji. Things have gotten a bit dramatic no? I mean let's just think about it for a minute. Would Central 46 really give the order to execute someone like Hinamori-chan and Rukia-chan with the Sokyoku? That thing hasn't been unsealed for hundreds and hundreds of years. I mean Central 46 never even attempted to try and execute Azashiro this way. Granted it probably wouldn't have worked but still, you have to admit that something seems fishy here."

Ukitake quickly agreed. "That's right! The Sokyoku is usually released for executing criminals of the Captain class! Why go through all this trouble to-"

"Enough!" Yamamoto quickly interrupted. He took a step forward and questioned, "It appears that the two of you were aware that this was going to happen. That means that the two of you were accomplices. Whether or not you believe or think that Central 46's decisions are right or wrong does not matter. They are the law that governs Soul Society. It has been that way for millennia's. You need not understand their process. You need only obey the order. In this way Justice shall be preserved. That is the way of the World. If every person were to always have their own individual justice be met then the world would descend into chaos, therefore you two had better have a good explanation for your disobedience."

Ukitake slightly frowned whilst Kyoraku gave a light sigh. Kyoraku tilted his straw hat on his head a bit and took note that Unohana, Isane, Chojiro, Nanao, Kiyone, and Sentaro were still atop the hill. Knowing that he and Ukitake wouldn't be able to talk themselves out from a confrontation with Yamamoto he quickly gripped Ukitake by the shoulder and commented, "Guess we've got no choice eh? Ukitake. Since Chigetsu-kun and Hitsugaya-kun fulfilled their parts then I guess we should do ours no?"

Ukitake curiously glanced over his shoulder at Kyoraku and questioningly responded, "Y-Yeah...but what are y-"

FWISH!

Kyoraku just smirked and dashed off with Ukitake into the distance at an incredible speed. Yamamoto gave a huff before disappearing in a blur soon after. Unohana sighed and closed her eyes as she turned around and started to walk off.

"E-EH? Captain?" Isane questioned.

Unohana just let out another sigh. "Haah...come, Isane. I sense Kishin's reiatsu heading towards the direction of the Central 46 Compound. It just so happens that I wished to see something for myself."

888

Kishin smirked as he nearly made it to the Central 46 Compound while taking note that Komamura was still chasing after him. "He's persistent isn't he?"

Tap!

He quickly halted his step atop the roof of a building and waited several long seconds for Komamura to catch up.

FWISH!

Soon after the sound of the wind rustling and the flapping of a Captain's Haori fluttered nearby. Kishin turned and stared at the giant burly Captain who stood several meters away on another rooftop sensing the anger rolling off of his body.

"Oh? Captain Komamura, you seem to hold a strong grudge against me."

Komamura once more unsheathed his Zanpakuto and shouted, "I will reclaim justice for Tosen! And I shall begin by taking off your left arm."

Kishin lifted said arm and taunted, "Here. Come take it. That is, if you can."

Komamura gritted his teeth at how nonchalant Kishin could still act in the current chaos that Soul Society was currently thrown in. "Do you have no shame or honor?! Have you even realized what turmoil you have caused the entirety of the Seireitei to undergo?!"

Kishin just shrugged. "Captain, I don't have time to waste words with you, but I'll expect an apology from you when all of this is over."

"Apology? Exactly what are you plotting?"

"Me? Plot? Haha, nothing. I'm not plotting anything. I'm just letting someone else's plot reveal itself."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ahhh, nothing nothing. It's so bothersome to explain what's going on when things are already in motion. It's faster if things just play out. Oh, where is Tosen anyways?"

"You dare address Tosen without his honorific title as Captain? How brazen of you."

"Fine fine." Kishin waved his hand in the air and sarcastically continued, "Captain Tosen it is then. So? Where is he? I didn't see him at the execution."

"Hmpf. He's recuperating from his injuries."

"Oh? I see I see. So he's probably with Aizen."

Komamura furrowed his brow in confusion. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Kishin simply ignored Komamura's comment. "Yo, if you're only going to talk and not attack then am I free to go? I have something I need to do."

"Hmpf. Very well. Don't get cocky just because you caught me off guard the last time we fought. Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Myo'o!" Once more the giant armored samurai of Komamura's Bankai appeared and slashed down with its mighty giant blade instantly smashing apart the entire building that Kishin was just standing on, however its slow movements let Kishin easily avoid being hit.

"UH?!" Komamura grunted in shock as he turned around to find Kishin standing behind him. Kishin just smirked as he recalled the memory of how Aizen defeated Komamura in his head and said, "Hado #90: Kurohitsugi."
