2 vicecaptains!?
3rd Seat, Okikiba, will be in charge of practical business, and vicecaptain Ise will follow me. They know how to do their job. Together they'll be my assistants.
- You can not.. just do as you...! - Every captain has the right to appoint and dismiss the vicecaptains of his own division.
It was you who decided this.
...Well then. Can I proceed? My first job as captain-commander..
..I'll teach Kenpachi Zaraki.. the Art of Killing.
What...?
Captain Kuchiki and the others headed to Reiokyu, but we can't know whether they'll come back safe. Captain Zaraku's battle power is extremely important. The way he is now is no good.
No! If he becomes more powerful than he is now it will be impossible to stop him if he starts a revolt!! Do you forget that even Genryuusai tried to teach him the sword but the stopped after just one day!?
Then what should we do? Soul Society as it is how won't be able to resist another invasion. Can you perhaps.. protect yourselves on your own?
Can you perhaps.. protect yourselves on your own?
..It looks like.. I gained your consent.
Come in. I'll leave captain Zaraki to you.
Captain Unohana... or should I say...
First "Kenpachi", YACHIRU UNOHANA. /"Kenpachi", the name that is only given to the strongest Shinigami.
/Hikifune's "entertainment" gave Ichigo and Renji a completely different reiatsu!! Now, on to the next palace!!
Master! Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai arrived at Rakubutai!
I see.
- Isn't anyone here? - So it seems.
- Hey!! Haven't you got anything to say about the fact that you keep on using me as a cushion!? - Shut up. You came here of your own will, don't complain.
My own will!? I said that I was gonna stay in that paradise we just left. It was you who dragged me here...
What's that!?
- GUESTS!! HAVE A SEAT!! - Too loud!! - What's this sound!?
YOU'RE HOLDING YOUR HEADS TOO HIGH!!
IN OTHER WORDS...
Your heads are... SO HIGH------!!!
I am number One Zanpakutou creater, Nimaya Oh-etsu. Nice to meet ya, Nice to meet ya!!
Zanpakutou LOVE IT!!!
WEEEEELCOME!!
- Kyaaaaah!! - Cute!! - You're showing so much skin! Sexy!!! - Which one is Ichigo-kun!? - Dummy! It's the one with orange hair! - The red hair must be Renji-kun!! - Nice to meet yooouuu!
Renji: ...What the hell is this...? Ichigo: Don't let them deceive you... I'm sure it turns out they're all guys or something like that.. Kon: Paradise!! Paradiiiiissse!!
KON: This is the real paradise!! ICHIGO: Shut up. OETSU: So!
Kurosaki-kun, Abarai-chan! And mysterious plushie-chan! Did ya enjoy the welcome show I prepared for you!? Let me introduce myself! I'm Oetsu Nimaiya, owner of this Hououden! (note: Hoohouden = Fenghuang Palace) /Zero Divison - Tooshin (God of the Sword) OETSU NIMAIYA
Nice to meet ya!!

Hmmm something's not right... Ya not gettin' into this, are ya..
..goin' home?
Eh!?
- Jeet.. do we have to choose? What do we do? We can't back now... - I don't think he'll really send us back.. - Who knows? He's weirdo, he might do it..
Ok. We're not going home!! Pleased to meet you!!
Nooon non non nooon!!!
Ya not askin' in the proper way!! Hououden's formal style is...

AND THEN! PLEASE!
- I can't do that pose... - Cool down, Ichigo! We have to!!
***..
PLEASE!!! NICE POSE!
- Look at that, my honey-chans! - That's so lol. - Like a banana! - Cuuute. - Gyahah!
***...!
How long are you gonna... keep that up!?
What're ya doin', Mera-chan!?
- With master it's never gonna start. Come with me!
/HOUOUDEN
- This is the real Hououden. Master creaters those dubious things because he doesn't want to acknowledge that the lives here! - Quit the gap..
- Come inside! - Nooo!! I don't like this sad plaaace!! I want the other one!!
- Shut up... - Ya think so too? Mysterious plushie - d'ya understand me feelings!?
WAAAAAHHHH
- Ouch.. - Hey! What the hell!?
Yep yeeep. "Kurosaki-chan, Abarai-chan... did ya realize?"
- Til now, actually... ya haven't met any Shinigami... but myself.
Those honey-chans are all... Zanpakutou.
Zanpakutou..!?
Huh? That's weird. Weeird it is. Even tho ya're Shinigami, ya can't distinguish between them and Zanpakutou? Ya not ok.
Ya got no love for your Zanpakutou, that's why... I lose the ability to distinguish 'em, rite?
When did you...!?
Aaaah la la la Zanpakutou that ain't loved... really break so easily.
The wrat of the Zanpakutou... is aaall around ya.
..If ya can get out alive... I mite as well reforge ya Zanpakutou.
What...
I'll sa it once more. I am number one Zanpakutou creater.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five. And in the end three. I'm Nimaiya Oetsu! My swords ain't for weaklings.
***...
Have fuuun.
/A crafty man, Oetsu!! What will the Zanpakutou's destiny be!?
Isn't that well done? Say so!! Getting closer to the Zanpakutou's mystery!! /Full color for the last arc - Reiokyu Arc!!
/The test prepared by Oetsu, the creator of the Zanpakutou!!
- There's something I don't like.. a lot.. - ..Yeah.. What are they?
You dun have to be scared. You should know 'em well.
They're.. the strongest Zanpakutou, they can become anything...
He entirety of the more than 6000 Gotei 13 members are temporarily loaned a nameless Zanpakutou when they graduate and enter a division.
All of the Shinigami eat and sleep with these "Asauchi" and while continously training, they project the essence of their soul onto the Asauchi.
They construct their "own Zanpakutou".
Them "Asauchi" are all made by one person, which is me. That's "Tooshin" Nimaiya Oetsu for ya!
Is that so! So these guys are exteriorizations of those Asauchi?!
So.. why do we have to get attacked by those guys?!
CO2!!
Exteriorisation, huh. Yes yes, CO2, CO2. But it's a lil' different. But that'll be fine for now that ain't the importation thing tho, they're angry with you guys.
Angry?! Why?!
Cos of the way you use yer Zanpakutou.
The way we use them...?!
You dun get it? That ain't stranger, yer way a fighting, the way you swing it? Wrong, wrong! What's the wrong? The basis is wrong!
Ya been using it as a tool? Been treating it as a subordinate? Relying on it like it's yer buddy? As a family? A friend? A senior? A junior? A pet? An acquaitance? Your loved one? A lover?
STOP FOOLING AROUND!!
This is what they think of ya, the basis is all wrong.
Let's start talkin' from this..
..the Zanpakutou or the Shinigami, which is one top?
ELIMINATE FROM HEAVEN
71 hours and 48 minutes. 3 days and 3 nites.
Ya did ya best. Ya're really good.
..Ya passed the test.
RENJI-CHAN!
Annd..
Ya didn't... Ichigo-chaaaan.
...Wa.. Wait... I can still...
Oh noes. Not gonna wait. It's over. Ya failed. Chan chan.
I can still do it...! Please let me try... it's ot like the time is over, is it...!
Time's not over.. but ma feelings are. It ain't a matter of whether ya can do it or not.
Asauchi didn't choose ya. That's all.
Can't be helped. It's over. Chan chan
- Wait...! - Ya a pain to watch.
Ya were dumped, don't be whinin' forever. During these 3 days... I understood that Renji-chan's a Shinigami and ya're not.
It's OK. I'll open the way for ya.
Ya can just... go back home.
Eh...
- Mela-chan. Take'iem out. - Ah...
Wa.. wait, no way!! Hey!!
Ahh. Yeah..
Never come back to Soul Society either. That's a place for Shinigami.
Ya're just a human without even a Zanpakutou. It ain't a place for you.
Jerk.
I've come this far.. don't think I'll just go home now. What will happen to Zangetsu if I leave?
It won't change either way. Zangetsu won't be fixed. Well. I won't fix it.
I told ya.
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 Oouetsu. I have no swords for a fake Shinigami.
***!!
Bye bye bye, Ichigo-chan.
Ain't no good the way ya're now. Ichigo-chan.
The fact that Asauchi didn't choose ya.. the fact that ya were able to fight without Asauchi so far.. Ya don't understand how serious that is.
Ya got to return.. to ya roots. And.. ya gotta know 'bout ya roots.
Even if that means.. not bein' able to come back.
Why is he different? What hasn't he? Ichigo's origin...?!
