Originally, the story of Tokinada Tsunayashiro killing Kakyō was not widely publicized and was forcibly Sealing. It was only because Kyōraku encountered a roaring blind man that he learned of it.
He then gathered some evidence and reported it to the Central 46, which led to Tokinada Tsunayashiro being summoned and interrogated. Tokinada Tsunayashiro hated Kyōraku to the extreme.
After several rounds of maneuvering, Tokinada Tsunayashiro was eventually acquitted. However, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, the Tsunayashiro Clan confined Tokinada Tsunayashiro to the Tsunayashiro Clan for two hundred years, preventing him from leaving.
The roaring blind man was none other than Kakyō's good friend, Kaname Tōsen. After failing to achieve his goal at the Seireitei) and being brutally kicked and humiliated by the released Tokinada Tsunayashiro, he secretly vowed to become a champion of justice and seek justice for his friend...
More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. The siege of Quincy in the World of the Living is nearing its end. Quincy almost extinct. Even those who survive are people whose Reiatsu is so weak that even Soul Reaper cannot detect them.
In the past two or three decades, more than 100,000 Quincy have been killed and at least nearly 30,000 have been crippled, which is far from the Soul Reaper's original estimate that there were only 50,000 Quincy.
After eliminating the Quincy, the Soul Reaper leadership turned their attention to the exposed Wandenreich, trying every possible way to locate their space. Unfortunately, without the Research and Development Institute, it was impossible.
This war is beneficial to Soul Society, but even more beneficial to the Quincy, especially to Yhwach...
At this moment, in the hidden Dark Palace, Yhwach's originally incomplete body was gradually repaired.
Because after the deaths of those more than 100,000 Quincy, their soul power did not disappear, but instead fed back into Yhwach, healing him.
The Schutzstaffel was overjoyed to discover that Yhwach's body had been completely restored, believing that Yhwach was about to wake up. However, only Jugram Haschwalth truly understood the situation, knowing that it would still be quite some time before Yhwach awoke.
During this time, he also sent several Sternritter to World of the Living Wandenreich to teleport all the Quincy whose Reiryoku had been stripped to the Wandenreich.
Although their Reiryoku was abolished, they could still reproduce, and their offspring could still possess Reiryoku and become Quincy. The most important thing for Quincy is not anything else, but the power of the bloodline Yhwach.
After arriving in the Wandenreich, these people who had been stripped of their Reiryoku did not need to fight for the time being; they only needed to reproduce and then let their offspring fight each other.
The hybrids will constantly die, providing Yhwach with the power to awaken, which is why Jugram Haschwalth risked bringing them into the Wandenreich.
The selection process in the Holy City was just a lie, a scheme to make the half-bloods fight each other. It was all a fabrication to deceive those half-bloods in order to Resurrection Yhwach...
"His Majesty's appearance has been fully restored!"
"This is just the beginning. His Majesty's heartbeat, consciousness, and power will eventually be reclaimed."
"Jugram Haschwalth, what's the next step?"
Only a few members of the Royal Guard and Jugram Haschwalth were present to witness everything; ultimately, they had to follow Jugram Haschwalth's orders.
"His Majesty has already told me what to do: first, let the mixed-bloods fight each other, then select the strongest and bestow upon them the Schrift..."
After Jugram Haschwalth finished speaking, he turned and left. Yhwach's body had recovered, and his blood was flowing again. He had received instructions on what to do at this moment long ago.
New members of the Sternritter are selected and bestowed with Schrift. They are then sent to Hueco Mundo under the guise of training to slay Hollows. The soul fragments of those slain are absorbed through the Schrift and fed back into Yhwach's body, helping him reclaim everything...
The Gotei 13 have returned to Soul Society, and the walls built with Sekki-seki have been dismantled, leaving only a low wall surrounding the Seireitei.
The organization of each Squad gradually returned to normal, except for the 11th Division, which retained a force of 1,500 people. This number was terrifying; they always did things in huge groups.
"Captain, Captain! Someone wants to challenge you."
Suddenly someone shouted outside the 11th Division's training ground. Zero, who was practicing Kidō, stopped and released Kidō. Gosuke and several other team members were seen outside.
It was Gosuke who shouted. The colorful Kidō was flying around the training ground, and he could only shout from a distance for fear of being implicated.
"What the hell? Rukongai has no shortage of people looking to die... Let's go!"
Zero grabbed the Blood Drink, casually draped the Captain's Haori over his shoulders, and walked out. Maki, standing nearby, cautioned, "Brother, Kuruyashiki is a cautionary tale; we can't be careless!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Captain, this man is no ordinary person. He is Kiganjō, known as the 'Fierce Warrior,' and is active in the 12th to 20th districts of South Rukongai. Years ago, you wiped out a group called 'Starving Ghosts,' which was founded by him."
Zero had just nodded in agreement with Maki when Gosuke began recounting the challenger's information. Zero felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it.
"I don't remember that name very well. What I remember most are the 'Wild Boar Group' and the 'Bald Group,' a bunch of guys who were too fat to wipe their own butts and a bunch of bald guys. It's still so funny to think about them now."
Zero couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled the strange forces that had appeared in Rukongai... Finally, with Gosuke's help, he remembered that the leader of the 'Starving Ghosts' Kiganjō, had fled in disarray.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Kiganjō must have returned after completing his studies, feeling that he was ready to challenge me, which is why he has come to challenge me openly and fairly.
... According to the original timeline, after Azashiro was imprisoned, the leaderless 11th Division could only let Kenpachi become Gosuke. Then Kiganjō appeared, defeated Gosuke, and inherited Kenpachi.
After decades of arrogance, he was killed by Kenpachi Zaraki, but now everything has been changed by Zero...
Arriving at the Outskirts of South Rukongai, several hundred Squad Members of the 11th Division arrived, along with a considerable number of ordinary Pluses who were just there to watch. They were all bored and kept their distance.
In Soul Reaper, there are also Captains who are so bored they come to watch the show. Originally, Kyōraku was the most idle, but now two more have joined: Kongqing and Seigen. Kongqing brought his Vice-Captain Hikosei, while Seigen brought the Third Seat, Hirako.
Several people, holding testing devices, immediately measured Kiganjō's Reiatsu and predicted that Zero wouldn't even need to use Bankai to defeat him, as the difference in their base Reiatsu was too great...
"Oh, so you're the one who wants to challenge me?"
Ling appeared out of thin air opposite Kiganjō like a ghost. Looking at this fierce-looking fat man, Kiganjō must be about 2.2 meters tall and weigh close to 300 kilograms... What a fat pig.
"Hmph, so you've finally arrived?"
Kiganjō was also sizing up 'Nangong Kenpachi': black hair, black eyes, white Captain's Haori a red inner shirt, and he liked to carry a red Greatsword. It was definitely him.
"I'm in a hurry, so show me what you've got!"
Zero held his self-invented Reiatsu Detector in his hand. Kiganjō's Reiatsu was 1.2, reaching the standard Captain-level, but it still didn't arouse Zero's interest.
"How dare you look down on me? Bankai - Tengu Stone Gargoyle!"
With a roar, Kiganjō unleashed his Bankai, a pale purple Reiatsu Gale covering his body. When the Gale dissipated, a purple giant about five meters tall, carrying two swords, stood before Zero.
"Oh my god, he can actually Bankai!"
"How could someone who isn't the Soul Reaper achieve something like this?"
"The Captain is in trouble."
Kiganjō's move stunned the Squad Members of the 11th Division. Under that terrifying Reiatsu, everyone involuntarily retreated.
The Captains, on the other hand, only showed slight surprise before secretly lamenting that such a talented individual had been foolish enough to challenge Kenpachi's position...
"Bankai? It looks a bit like Susanoo..."
Zero was startled by Kiganjō's Bankai. The purple, glowing Reiryoku karaoke Tengu Armor was just like Susanoo, except that it had no wings; it was a miniature version of Susanoo.
Kiganjō's Reiatsu climbed from 1.2 to 3.6. Considering the magnitude of the increase in Reiatsu, plus any other abilities he might possess, it could indeed be considered at the level of Bankai.
Knowing the power of Zero, Kiganjō used Bankai as soon as he made his move. It is said that when Nangong Kenpachi swept through the major forces in Rukongai, no one could make him wield his third sword.
The person who made him swing his sword a second time was none other than Kiganjō's mortal enemy...
"Sorry, I don't have time to waste with you. The title of Kenpachi is mine."
Kiganjō's voice came from inside the purple crow tengu giant. As soon as he finished speaking, the giant drew two Tachi made of Reiryoku from his back and charged towards Zero.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, Reiatsu Gale raged. When the smoke cleared, Kiganjō's twin blades, which he had been slashing down from above, were blocked by Zero's single sword held above his head, preventing them from falling.
"With just this much skill, how could he become Kenpachi?"
Zero revealed a sinister smile, his Reiatsu instantly doubling, and with a single sword strike, he sent Kiganjō, who was enveloped in Bankai, flying.
"What? Impossible!"
"The impossible is yet to come, take this!"
Kiganjō, suspended in mid-air, was in disbelief, but Zero caught up and, while answering him, raised his sword and slashed fiercely. What followed was a combination of Shunpo and slashes. Kiganjō took six sword blows in a row before finding an opportunity to parry the seventh, and then steadied himself and created distance.
Zero's six sword strikes had utterly destroyed the Tengu's armor, and the part of Kiganjō's body exposed after the armor shattered was not in a normal state; his body had been completely petrified...
"Just six swords and it's shattered to this extent? Your slash is truly powerful, Tengu Cross Slash."
With a Kiganjō, the Tengu Armor on the surface disappeared, revealing the Kiganjō himself inside. At this moment, his skin was like granite, with gray and Black Spots intertwined in a chaotic manner.
As the massive cross-shaped slash came, Zero was surprised to find that the Reiatsu contained within it was exactly the same Reiatsu he had released through the blade during his previous slash.
Zero blocked the attack with the Dankū, and then slightly offset some of the attack power with the Blood-Coagulating Slash. Only the remaining part of the attack reached him, which he forcibly withstood.
'To withstand attacks with an outer Tengu Armor, and then unleash them all at once through an inner stone body? What a boring ability.'
Zero saw through Kiganjō's Bankai ability on the first try. The so-called 'Tengu Stone Gargoyle' was just like that. The Tengu was responsible for absorbing the attack, and the Gargoyle was responsible for condensing and releasing it.
It's not without weaknesses. For example, right now, Kiganjō's armor has disappeared, leaving only his granite-like body exposed to face Zero's blade.
