With the familiar Release Command, the two weapons in Yinsen's hands were no longer invisible, intangible blades, but the two swords Shunsui Kyoraku knew very well.
"My, my, this is serious!"
He was unsure whether Yinsen's Zanpakuto merely imitated the appearance of his own Zanpakuto, or whether it could copy its abilities as well.
If it was the former, there was no need to care. At most, it could frighten enemies lacking in resolve during battle. But if it was the latter, then Yinsen's Zanpakuto was truly formidable.
"So this is your Zanpakuto's true ability!"
Shunsui Kyoraku was not the only one to think of this. The several people watching nearby all came to the same conclusion and kept studying Yinsen with astonished looks.
Setting aside earlier times, the Thirteen Court Guard Squads had existed for two thousand years. Yet throughout that long history, there had never been a Zanpakuto like the one in Yinsen's hands.
Of course, Zanpakuto abilities had always been strange and varied. To this day, there had never been two completely identical blades. Many Shinigami possessed Zanpakuto but never truly mastered their power throughout their lives, which meant that many Zanpakuto with unusual abilities had been buried by the passage of time.
Given that, Yinsen's Zanpakuto ability was unusual, but not so extraordinary that people could not accept it.
But... was that really its ability?
The answer came quickly. Yinsen did not play games. While he was still quite some distance from Shunsui Kyoraku, he attacked again.
Inefficient Top!
It was Katen Kyokotsu's ability. As Katen Kyokotsu's true owner, Shunsui Kyoraku naturally had a way to tell whether this was merely a flashy imitation meant to confuse an enemy or the genuine Inefficient Top.
"Inefficient Top!"
The method was to counter it with the same technique.
