The Curtain Falls (First of Two 4,000-Character Updates)
"Why are you still smiling, Aizen?!"
"Roar, Tenken!"
As the words rang out, they echoed in Sajin Komamura's heart. He immediately swung a punch, and almost instantly, a gigantic arm materialized behind him and struck along the path of his left arm!
Aizen's expression didn't change in the slightest. A flash of disdain flickered in his eyes and vanished!
Boom!
The punch slammed into the ground, kicking up an endless cloud of dust. Yet a figure emerged from the smoke at an unhurried pace and came to a stop beside Ichimaru Gin and Tōsen!

The blue crescent veered off course, swept past Aizen, and crashed down in the distance with a thunderous boom.
"Impossible!!!" Kurosaki Ichigo's pupils
