"Impossible…"
"Aizen, how can your power be this strong!!!" Under the metal helmet, Komamura's panicked roar.
Zanpakutō pinched by Aizen's fingers.
Pinnacle Shinigami pressure crushed through the blade, pinning Komamura!
Thus…
Video frame showed ironic scene:
Clearly several times Aizen's size!
Yet before Aizen, Komamura's rage resembled a plush bear waving a toy knife!
His every move no longer his.
Controlled by Aizen's two fingers—like a puppet!
"Why? Your question is odd…"
Aizen looked up indifferently.
Lenses glinting, voice emotionless:
"When did you get the illusion you'd seen my 'full power'?"
"Bakudō #90: Black Coffin—!!!"
No delay.
After verbal strike, Aizen cast without chant!
His low, confident voice.
Via video's special audio, caused a level-10 quake!!!
---
5th Division.
"What?!"
"Kidō #90—Black Coffin?!"
"Aizen fluently casts a legendary Kidō without chant?"
"But…"
Surrounded by over a dozen captains, hundreds of high seats, thousands of Onmitsukidō.
Watching the screen.
Every soul exclaimed, eyes turning to the "Aizen" battling Kenpachi and other captains in the office!
Faces drastically changed!
Something wrong…
If Aizen mastered legendary Kidō, why in the arrest fight did he only defend with Zanpakutō?
No Shikai…
No Bankai…
No Kidō or spells…
Besides matching pressure, the office "Aizen" had no offense against the captains!
Clearly not the same person as the video Aizen!!!
"Captain Unohana, what's going on? Things are getting weirder!" Near the office, Kotetsu Isane sought comfort from Unohana.
"Isane, I know what you're thinking."
Beside her, Unohana serene, eyes fixed on the intense battle.
Gently soothing:
"Currently…"
"Whether 'visual,' 'pressure perception,' or Lieutenant Hinamori's testimony, all prove the surrounded man is Aizen Sōsuke himself!"
Yes.
After netting the 5th Division.
Ignoring Hinamori's pleas, they isolated her and heard her defense!
Times, places, witnesses…
From Hinamori's words, Aizen never left the 5th Division!
Meaning,
The soon-defeated "Aizen" under attack was undeniably the real one!
"But…"
"Ichimaru Gin and Tōsen Kaname are missing! Don't you find it strange, Captain?" Isane timidly glanced around, mustering courage: "If accomplices, they should stand together!"
She glanced back.
Seeing video Aizen about to cast Black Coffin without chant! Gin and Tōsen watching!
Her scalp tingled!
Video vs. reality.
Two opposite scenes!
One: surrounded, isolated Aizen!
One: overwhelmingly dominant, flanked by captain accomplices, two-finger suppressing Komamura, chanting legendary Kidō!
Here,
Isane was utterly confused, unable to tell,
Which scene!
Which was the real Aizen!
Now.
5th Division office.
Zaraki Kenpachi's disdainful roar:
"What the hell…"
"Aizen, is this all? So far below the video! Boring!"
Golden pressure surged!
Ferociously slashing the heavily wounded "Aizen"!
Golden light flowed, slash's destruction emptying air instantly!
Wooden floor cracked under sword pressure!
"I… I'm framed…"
Covered in blood.
For some reason, under cracked glasses, "Aizen's" eyes shifted from confidence to panic!
As he desperately explained,
One lens shattered under sword pressure!
This pathetic state.
Impossible for the video Aizen suppressing Komamura!
Yet…
As the violence-obsessed flat-slash king.
Single-minded Zaraki cared not for details, slash unrelenting!
"Over?"
"Traitor Aizen finally brought to justice…" Nearby, Kyōraku Shunsui said complexly.
Surrounding Aizen.
Mainly Shunsui, Zaraki, Byakuya, Hitsugaya—he mostly guarded escape!
Watching a former colleague, once praised and urged subordinates to emulate!
Ending his Shinigami life in such depravity!
Truly lamentable!
"Hope Captain Zaraki leaves him alive. With Ichimaru and Tōsen missing, the Court Guard Squads remain in peril!" Ukitake Jūshirō frowned.
He too hadn't acted.
Patrolling, guarding against Gin and Tōsen's rescue!
"Too late…"
"By my estimate, with Aizen's wounds, survival odds are slim…" Kyōraku shook his head.
Failing to capture alive was regrettable.
But executing the traitor, crushing the defection plot—great news!
Then,
A cry from the crowd:
"Look!"
"Chantless Black Coffin released!!!"
This shout.
Broke the near-frozen atmosphere, drawing all eyes to the screen.
Now,
Video dark!
BOOM!!!
Pinnacle spiritual pressure!
Burst from Aizen, forming vast flow! Air wailed, turning to endless black shadow blades!
A massive square coffin-like barrier, carrying decay and death, encased Komamura from above!
Annihilation! Darkness!
Even without chant.
Bakudō #90—Black Coffin's power changed heaven and earth!
Weirder—
Future and present seemed synchronized.
As Zaraki's golden sword pressure crushed "Aizen,"
The death-scented dark coffin engulfed Komamura!
Reality and future!
Simultaneous fatal strikes!
