What is that?
Is that a question?
Or are you talking to yourself?
If so, then I'll ignore you.
Since we have never seen anything like that before,
no one in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads
will be stupid enough to ask questions like that.
So I guess I should ignore...
Well, I'll cut it down then.
Were you about to say something, Nemu?
Of course not, Lord Mayuri.
Wait, Zaraki!
Zaraki...
No worries.
It's just an arm.
But at least I got his head.
What is that thing?
Are you asking me?
Or are you talking to yourself again?
BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War
The head became huge.
What's that?
It doesn't look useful for fighting.
There must be a reason.
It's kind of creepy.
You say that?
We lost the chance to jump in.
Idiot! We don't have to jump in!
If we intervene, they'll get mad at us!
I agree.
It's weird that you voice your opinion.
Is it?
Lord Mayuri always orders me
not to move until he calls me.
I don't think Lord Mayuri is struggling so much
that he will need to call me.
What are you saying?
It's the same for Captain Zaraki too.
What's that?
The broken arm...
He folded it up so much that it turned into a pool of blood.
How does that work?
Oh. That's quite nice.
It was a good idea to rip off your arm right away.
Good job, Captain Zaraki.
If you hadn't taken that decision on the spot,
now you'd be turned into a sinewy and tasteless...
mountain of meatballs.
I'm not sure whether you're praising or provoking me.
What do you think?
Whatever.
What is his power?
As always,
I don't understand if you're asking me or just talking to yourself.
But either way, I don't know either.
What I can say now, is that it's better not to get close to it.
Not to get close?
Nemu, tie up his arm and stop the blood loss.
Yes.
Don't kid me.
How can I slash it up if I don't get close?
Good grief. Another question?
Slashing is not the only way to fight.
I'll think of a way to deal with him without getting close...
Sorry.
I was just talking to myself.
Hey, Zaraki!
If I don't understand his power,
I'll just cut him in half
before he gets me!
- Captain! - Captain!
Kurotsuchi, you...
In just controlling the limbs, the other bones will break.
Ashisogijizo.
Fear Factor 4.
Please cover your ears.
You'll go paralyzed in four seconds.
Okay.
Anesthesia is the best thing I can do.
This guy's wrist strength may still come in handy.
Being turned into meatballs here would be a bit inconvenient anyway.
And also, that the anesthetic is working means
you've revealed the true nature of your power.
In other words,
your nerves.
You're using your own nerves to infiltrate the enemy's bodies
and forcibly control their movements.
I saw it coming, you know.
I hear that Quincy can pump Reishi into the blood vessels
and make use of that power for himself.
So it's not a surprise that other beings use Reishi
to control other parts of the body.
But, whatever the process is, we do not need to be scared
once we know what it is.
Does it hurt?
The acrid hardship of having your nerves exposed.
I'm very interested in your power.
Let's take our time.
I have tons of drugs that will work on the nerves.
Oh.
I stabbed you for your own sake.
That couldn't be helped.
Don't glare at me like that.
Oh. It's pretty amazing that you can still move your eyes.
You're quite a monster.
Well. I'll improve
Ashisogijizo's paralytic power before stabbing you again, I guess.
Oh. Besides the enemy's power,
you also made me discover a way to improve Ashisogijizo.
Good grief.
I can't help but feel gratitude towards you.
Jerk, he sent the captain against the enemy on purpose.
He was curious about the enemy's power
and wanted to fight him alone.
So the captain was in the way of that?
Your captain is always the same.
Yes. So I hope.
What do you mean?
Just...
Exactly what I said.
Alright.
Thanks to the noble sacrifice of a captain
of our beloved Thirteen Court Guard Squads,
we learned how your power works, which is valuable.
Do you know what this means?
Eerie Quincy.
Since you're not replying, I'll go on.
What I'm trying to say is
that I'm almost on the verge of crying because of this touching sacrifice.
Noble victories are always preceded by noble sacrifices.
That jerk! How dare he talk like that?
In other words, you should show your respect for this touching sacrifice
by donating your body to me for my experiments.
Oh. It seems that you don't agree.
You're too stubborn to understand romance, I see.
This is...
What is that?
I see, I didn't expect this.
I reckon that is the Soul King's left arm.
This monster is the Soul King's left arm?
Was Soul King this huge?
I've no idea since I've never met him.
His Spiritual Pressure is almost the same as the one I sampled from Ukitake.
If Ukitake had a contract with Soul King's right arm...
it's not weird that the left arm can still move
after being parted from the Soul King.
I think it's weird.
The fact that it has one eye on it
also matches Kisuke Urahara's description.
I guess someone might say that it's wrong to call that "one eye."
The only thing I don't understand is
why the Soul King's left arm would work for Yhwach.
But
compared to my happiness now, that's just a tiny issue.
Happiness?
You understand? I didn't expect that either.
I wonder what organs you use to speak.
It's so intriguing.
Captain Kurotsuchi!
Stop grinning and run!
How can you be so happy about this situation?
How can I be so happy, you ask?
I found a never-before-seen object to observe.
It keeps on growing beyond my expectations.
How could I not be happy about this?
Yes.
Show me more, Soul King's left arm!
Left... arm...
Name is... wrong...
What?
Louder, please.
My name... is Pernida...
Pernida Parnkgjas.
That's long.
I'm the one who found you anyway,
so I've got the right to name you.
But if you say so yourself,
I guess this time I can make an exception.
He makes no sense.
Same as always.
However I'll decide the spelling.
Not understand... what... you say...
What I not... understand... is bad things...
You are enemy...
The bad things enemy say... are bad things... toward Quincy...
So what if it is bad things?
Unforgivable!
You can penetrate inorganic things too with your nerves.
I didn't expect that. Nice.
You have some kind of grudge with Haschwalth, don't you?
You can go find him.
What?
We will take care of His Majesty.
I will take down both of them.
I really want to see His Majesty
and Haschwalth turn into zombies.
Let's go.
- Captain Kurotsuchi! - Captain Kurotsuchi!
Don't yell.
That's just reactive armor.
I won't explain it. Look it up in the dictionary yourself.
Stop, Captain Kurotsuchi!
The ground has that guy's nerves!
Do you know this?
Of course!
This is the sky-walking technique used by you Quincies.
Hirenkyaku.
However, this is the name used by Soken and Uryu Ishida.
The real name might be a different one.
But anyway,
you may as well cover the whole ground with your nerves,
but it's meaningless if I don't step on them.
No!
Well then, as planned, I'll take a sample.
It's preserving liquid.
It might sting a little.
After the fight is over, I'll build a water tank to preserve it.
Until then, this is needed to maintain its freshness.
What?
I rearranged the position of nerves, blood vessels, and muscles.
Don't think you can take control of my body so easily,
Pernida.
It's not very well done.
It's been a while since I last did an operation on singlehanded,
I've lost my intuition.
It's quite shameful.
Shameful?
Do you mean that you're nervous?
Do I look so?
Want to become more nervous?
No!
The ripped finger becomes another left hand?
I guess it will be hard to rip you apart and take home the pieces.
Become more nervous?
I see.
Blood got in my eye.
It hurts, it really hurts.
This is what I read in a book when I was young.
The right hand of the Soul King governs stillness.
His left hand governs advancement.
The knowledge you learn in books is just knowledge.
I usually don't believe it until I can prove it with my own hands.
But I never imagined that I'd be able to prove both at the same time.
This is really a wonderful fight.
Bankai.
This is bad, it's Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!
He wants to poison it to death!
- Captain Zaraki! - Captain Zaraki!
Poison it to death?
That would be a real waste.
Now.
It's time to give birth.
Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo, Matai Fukuin Shoutai.
What is that?
It's a modified Bankai.
I created Matai Fukuin Shoutai by modifying Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo.
It's an aberrant form.
It can give birth
to other Ashisogijizo based on the information I send to it.
You don't understand?
Just look, and you'll know.
This Ashisogijizo has nerves on the surface of its body.
That's why it feels pain even just by coming in to contact with air
or hitting the ground.
Let's not talk about this for now.
What's important is that those nerves are divided into 70,000 layers.
In other words, even if you shoot your nerves onto it,
the surface layer detaches itself, and that's it.
What's wrong? You can fight it.
If you're able to shoot your nerves
through all the 70,000 layers before it completely swallows you down.
On a stage stained crimson with blood,
pine needles are dispersed.
Traversing numerous Buddha realms to the hell.
