Clang!
With a single slash, Ichigo Kurosaki forced Yhwach back. Pressing his advantage, Ichigo's dense spiritual pressure swirled around his Zanpakuto.
"Getsuga—"
"Tenshō!"
Sshhk!
Ichigo Kurosaki's slash cleaved Yhwach directly in two.

"As expected."
As Ichigo Kurosaki stood in shock, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto approached.
"This old man already felt that something was off about this
