"Bankai: Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinju!!"
As Kyoraku released his Bankai, a graceful figure flashed past behind him. Then, a beautiful pattern resembling a black pine tree blossomed across the ground touched by Kyoraku's Zanpakuto...
Along with that pattern came endless, bone-chilling Spiritual Pressure. The sheer weight of it made Obana Danjirō and Shigyō Nobutsuna tremble inwardly just from falling upon them.
"So that's it. Is this why you can't use Bankai in front of your companions?!"
After sensing that immense, frigid Spiritual Pressure, Obana Danjirō suddenly understood why Kyoraku had never been able to use Bankai.
Indeed, if Kyoraku used Bankai in front of his companions, he would certainly force everyone else into this powerful Bankai as well...
"Sorry! My Bankai isn't really suited for training. Once I use it, it usually ends with either the enemy dying or me dying! In theory, my Bankai works best only when I've suffered fatal injuries from an enemy. But if I did that, either Senior Nimaiya or I would probably perish because of it, so I chose to activate my Bankai in advance..."
Sitting on the ground, Kyoraku first apologized to Obana Danjirō and Shigyō Nobutsuna, then began explaining the abilities of his Bankai.
"Since none of us have harmed each other before, we'll start directly from the third act!"
"Third Act: Dangyobuchi! Those who have resolved themselves plunge together into the surging waters, until both sides' Spiritual Pressure is completely exhausted."
As Kyoraku's words fell, 'Kyoraku,' 'Obana Danjirō,' and 'Shigyō Nobutsuna' immediately fell into a vast ocean. Endless seawater submerged the three of them, continuously draining the Spiritual Pressure within their bodies.
Yet 'Obana Danjirō' and 'Shigyō Nobutsuna' were not worried at all...
"Kyoraku, do you remember one particularly strict requirement Araki set for your graduation?!"
Obana Danjirō folded his arms
