Loss of Control × Wandenreich

"Howl, Zabimaru!"

In the underground space beneath the Sōkyoku, Renji Abarai's wild Shikai Command echoed endlessly.

"Boom!"

A violent impact struck the ground, the serpent stretching dozens of meters slamming straight down to carve a massive crater.

Kira Izuru's figure appeared on the other side, his expression serious as he watched Renji Abarai's released Zanpakutō.
