When Mazuru hunted down Tokinada in Hueco Mundo, Mazuru used his Bankai battle for the first time, and summoned countless hollow figures who died in his hands in the sea of blood, and eventually, Tokinada was swallowed up too.
After that, Mazuru rarely used this method again.
One reason was that there were not many opportunities for him to use Bankai to its fullest extent to fight.
Most of the time he released his Bankai was just to open the enchantment for training.
Even in the last battle of the Las Noches, he faced Byakuya, Zaraki and Unohana, it was a targeted training for Byakuya to show his shortcomings and motivate him to train even more, the only thing that surprised him was that while he was probing Zaraki's prowess he had heard about from Unohana, he not only awakened his Zanpakuto but also learned his Bankai during that battle.
And then he let Zaraki bombard the enchantment with all his strength, and the result was that the enchantment was broken.
This could be regarded as a disguised verification of the monstrous power of Zaraki's Bankai.
Another reason for not summoning these dead souls to fight was that most of the battles that Mazuru fought in the past were one-on-one.
But given the current situation, he used this move of his, as even he didn't expect Yamamoto's Bankai, Zanka no Tachi, to be so powerful.
Yamamoto wanted the dead under his hands to have a siege on Mazuru, but he doesn't want to give him that chance.
Although there were many powerful people among the group of dead who were briefly revived under Yamamoto's Bankai, including Menos Grande, quincies, and shinigami too, but in the end, they were just a bunch of dead bones.
They were all ruined people, which was equivalent to garbage in his book.
Although in terms of quality, compared to Mazuru's lineup, which was mostly Gillian, it was far better.
But it was not still not enough to defeat him.
Although the quality of Mazuru's dead soldiers was not high, but the quantity was a lot.
After his initial hundred years of venture in Hueco Mundo, the number of Menos Grandes who died in Mazuru's hands could be said to be a massive number.
After many years of fighting, even he didn't know how many Menos Grande had been slaughtered by him, and there was one more crucial point... The souls he summoned there were not only those who died under his hands
Even, those who died in the hands of Beelzebub were also intercepted by him.
This was why the souls of arrancar who died in the decisive battle in Karakura Town, such as Baraggan, Zommari, and Yammy, also appeared there.
Although the members of Soul Society and Hueco Mundo were shocked, they didn't try to gouge out the reason. Immediately afterwards, they saw the skeleton summoned by Yamamoto and the soul of the dead summoned by Mazuru advancing at each other at the same time and started fighting.
What unfolded before their eyes was an extremely tragic battle scene.
Whether it was those scorched skeletons or the dead souls summoned by Mazuru, they all seemed to blindly follow the respective wills of Yamamoto and Mazuru, to kill the enemies in front of them, and never to take even a half step back.
Even though their bodies were obliterated and their souls scattered, they were still moving forward and never retreated.
"A similar technique of summoning the dead to fight, it allowed him to counter the dead summoned by Kaka Jūman'okushi Daisōjin?"
Yamamoto watched this scene, and immediately made another move.
He pulled out his Zanpakuto that was stabbed into the ground, and flashed, not slower than Flash Goddess Yoruichi's Shunpo. Using Shunpo, in an instant, he came beside Mazuru.
Another slash came out, and it was the "Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin!"
The blade slashed out without bursting flames. Before it touched Mazuru's body, Mazuru did not even feel the burning of the flames.
Yamamoto tried to use this move to break the enchantment before, and the aftermath of the attack from a very long distance once made the inner wall of the barrier burst into flames. Now, he would feel the blow at a close distance.
Mazuru only had the feeling that no matter where he hid, he would die in the flames for sure once it makes contact.
*Swish*
The Kyokujitsujin sliced through, and Mazuru's body was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Even after knowing that Mazuru's Bankai had the ability to grant him immortality, after seeing his body reduced to ashes in the flames, no matter whether it was Nanao, Rangiku, Sui Feng, or Toshiro, they all couldn't help but have a stiffened expression.
Especially Nanao, she even started worrying about him mid-battle.
Obviously he had become their enemy, but she still couldn't hold back the emotions in her heart and started worrying about him.
Fortunately, in an instant, Mazuru's body condensed again, and appeared behind Yamamoto.
Mazuru beckoned, and a blood-red long sword appeared in his hand, stabbing towards Yamamoto's back.
"Useless tricks!"
Words came out of Yamamoto's lips, carrying a hint of little disdain.
Ignoring Mazuru who was attacking from behind.
Blazing flames rose instantly, and a terrifying temperature permeated the air. The blazing flames covered Yamamoto's body like a piece of clothing.
The blood-red long sword in Mazuru's hand touched the flames on Yamamoto's body, and turned to ashes, and then, even his whole body seemed unable to bear the terrifying flames, and evaporated.
Yamamoto's deep voice sounded, "Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjitsu Gokui (Longsword of the Remnant Flame, West: Remnant Sun Prison Garb)!"
This move was to turn his own reiatsu into massive flames of fifteen million-degree celsius, and then turning it into a piece of clothing that covers his entire body and blade. At this moment, his body and blade was the same as being wrapped in the sun.
This was also the only defensive skill he possessed after his Bankai.
Though, it was not just a defense at all, but it shrank the brutal offensive means of Zanka no Tachi as his own body's garb, thus using its offense as a defense.
With the Zanjitsu Gokui, no enemy could ever touch him.
It was fifteen million degrees of flame, nothing could withstand it.
For example, Mazuru just attempted to attack Yamamoto, but was burnt to ashes by the Zanjitsu Gokui worn by Yamamoto, which was the best depiction of its use.
Mazuru's figure reappeared again, he didn't seem to care about the matter of dying suddenly under the flames before, and once again attacked Yamamoto.
Yamamoto didn't dodge or tried to counterattack, allowing Mazuru to attack smoothly.
On his body, the Zanjitsu Gokui swayed slightly, like a piece of clothing. However, this piece of clothing was a more terrifying technique than the Kyokujitsujin and the Kaka Jūman'okushi Daisōjin.
Mazuru who just got close to Yamamoto, was again directly burned and evaporated under the flames.
"Like I said, it's useless!"
Yamamoto's voice sounded.
"Under my Zanjitsu Gokui, you can't get close to me no matter what you do, and all your attack methods are useless against me in this state, so you should just wait for your death!"
