“We cannot allow him to move freely,” Sui Fēng observes calmly.

Komamura grumbles, clearly impatient. “Then why not attack him?”

“I'm waiting for the same thing as you,” Sui Fēng replies cannily. “Neither of us has seen a Sternritter fight with their full strength.”

“Which leaves us at an impasse,” Shunsui sighs. “What a pain.”

You are Captain Komamura Sajin, the only member of the wolfman clan who isn't living out the rest of his days in pitiful self-indulgent exile, and you refuse to waste your time like this.

“Then I shall give you something worth watching,” you tell Captain Fēng gruffly. “I understand your abilities are best left for when they will be most effective, so I'll fight this quincy instead.”

“Someone needs to be the first. May as well be me.”

After a moment, Captain Fēng nods in agreement. “Very well. Good luck, Captain Komamura.”

“So one of you finally decided to fight me?” Gremmy smiles confidently. “It isn't surprising it took you a while, I am after all the most powerful Sternritter.”

“I very much doubt that,” you sigh in relief.

“Excuse you?” your opponent replies, smile visibly shifting into a frown.

“Usually it's the weakest ones who go around proclaiming their strength,” you observe. “I figure if you started out with such a statement, chances are good that you'll be a manageable opponent.”

“Manageable?” the Sternritter repeats.

You nod. “Not easy, I don't imagine, but not as difficult to face blind as some of the other quincy might be.”

It seems that Gremmy is angered by your logic, but aside from his facial expression you can't spot much that would indicate it. His tone of voice in particular hasn't changed in the slightest.

“Then this is going to be an educational experience,” he tells you calmly. “You're about to see things beyond your wildest imagination...”

It does you no good to hold back, and so you decide to attack all out. With any luck you might even kill him with a single blow.

You charge Gremmy with your zanpakuto raised, seeing no response from your foe. So you decide to take advantage and add a shunpō as you get close, releasing Tenken without calling it and swinging for his shoulder from behind.

The massive spectral blade crashes against Gremmy's body, the quincy not even taking a step from the spot where he's standing in midair. You're surprised at the lack of response, and even more surprised when all your attack does is dislocate his shoulder.

“That hurt,” Gremmy admits, turning to face you. Before your eyes the little damage to his shoulder simply disappears, as if you'd never hit him in the first place.

That's an awful outcome. Not only did he not move, giving you no information about how well he can move, but you didn't even hurt him. It also looks like he has a healing ability at his disposal, which makes this prospect much more difficult.

“You seem confused,” Gremmy taunts you. “Like you can't even imagine how I just shrugged off your attack. But it's not that difficult, really.”

“Well, if these attacks of mine have no effect on you,” you mutter, “I hope you won't mind if I try again.”

“Not at all,” he replies calmly.

“Bakudō 61: Rikujōkōrō!”

The six rods of light form with Gremmy at their center, seemingly causing him no concern whatsoever. Then you decide to add to your efforts, solidifying your bakudō before striking. “Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel, shine and divide in six!”

You wind up with Tenken, grasping the sword in both hands and bringing it down as hard as you can aiming straight for the middle of Gremmy's head. But he shocks you again, simply stepping to one side through your perfectly-cast kidō so that your downward strike misses him by just a few inches.

Despite not seeing him move you take an immediate step. The blow to your shoulder wasn't particularly hard, but you can feel your bones break from it even as you step away from Gremmy's fist.

How did a glancing blow...

“You seem confused, Captain,” Gremmy smiles calmly. “Your injury is due to the fact that your left humerus is made out of doggie biscuits.”

“What are you talking about?” you demand, glancing down at your ruined left arm. “You aren't making any sense.”

“All I have to do is imagine something and it becomes true,” Gremmy explains. “First I imagined that your kidō was intangible, then I imagined that your left humerus was made of doggie biscuits. Then I imagined I was next to you, and I punched you.”

That... that's not possible. There's no way that such a power is possible. It absolutely defies belief.

And yet...

… the results are undeniable.

>>2456357
You realize that you did actually do him some harm with your first attack, so his defenses aren't perfect. If you can strike him with full force instead of just your Shikai, you might just be able to pull this out.

“Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Myōō!”

With a roar and a torrent of reiatsu you release your Bankai, Tenken rising high into the air behind you. Then you swing the massive blade with both your hands, sweeping it through a building or two before Gremmy effortlessly vaults over it. Which leaves you open to follow through with a powerful new trick: you force the massive body of Tenken to follow you in a shunpō.

The sound of it is thunderous, and you bring the blade crashing down towards Gremmy's body as he's still dodging.

“I've...” you begin to roar, before your entire body explodes with the worst pain. You've been wounded before, in plenty of fights. Your body has endured heavy wounds. But this... this eclipses all of those, with no point to even compare.

Looking over your shoulder you realize what has happened: somehow, Tenken's heavy armor has turned into lava.

It finally starts to register that the howling screams that are filling your ears are your own.

hindsight. 20-20 it's a stupid idea that got doggo killed.

>>2456389
Your entire body is still smoldering, your skin is cracked and bleeding from the spiderweb set into your charred flesh. But somehow you managed to seal away your Bankai despite the pain, barely managing to survive.

It feels like you might even be able to move, but to what end you're not certain. The wounds you've suffered are probably fatal, just not immediately. With prompt medical attention you might live to see tomorrow.

But there is another way. A way to keep fighting... at a cost.

>>2456490

>>2456454
>>Ichimaru Gin

>>2456490
Wolfbro literally stood no chance outside of humanification or a series of exceptionally good rolls. Kenny only won because his Shikai is just as broken as Gremmy's ability, and because Gremmy is kind of an idiot.

>>2456502
Hah true, and you can always hope for a second wind

>>2456502
You're talking about the canon stuff for Kenny v. Gremmy right? I got a mite confused for a second.

>>2456502
We'll shit, wish I had gotten here earlier to vote for sending out someone other than wolfbro

>>2456516
it ain't your fault. It's a combination of not thinking smartly and poor intel of Aizen's main vanguard force that wolfbro jobbed. his sacrifice was not in vain.

Poor Komamura. Guess we’re going to need to give him another pep talk after we whack Aizen. Oh well, he made a decent guinea pig at least. Let’s just have Gin impale Remmy before he can do anything. Put his blade through his skull, he’s dead, we win. Should be easy enough with Gin’s Zanpakuto.

>>2456535
And what you're saying is a classic case of not thinking thoroughly. Have you not learned how to take things from context? sure you can do the stabby stabby and brute force, but look at doggo. His powerset was the epitome of brute force and he got shat on by a man who uses imagination as his weapon.

You are Ichimaru Gin, and for the first time since the fighting started you're not smiling.

What happened to Sajin was unfortunate, but you're not about to allow his sacrifice to go to waste. Now you know what Gremmy Thomeaux's power is, what it can do... and with the benefit of some distance you're already starting to see some options for fighting against such a stupid ability.

From what you can tell he has to be focusing on something in order to change it into what he imagines, based on the fact that Sajin could catch him off his guard. And given that his first strike actually caused damage... abilities that he cannot understand or observe will be more effective. In such cases it seems Gremmy's only option is to prepare a defense that he thinks will work, which may or may not prove to be effective depending on how well he's guessed the nature of the attack he's defending against.

While his ability certainly is fearsome... so is yours.

Although it seems like you're going to need to keep him from finishing Sajin off first.

“It seems you lost, Captain,” Gremmy smiles, producing a dozen or so floating machine guns in the air around himself. “Too bad.”

“Impale, Shinsō.”

With a scything slash of your blade you cut through the summoned firearms, before retracting the blade and using a flash step to place yourself next to Sajin.

“Well, it seems you're in a bit of a tough spot,” you muse, almost playfully. “Would you like me to save you, Sajin?”

All you get in response is a pained grunt.

“Well, that's too bad,” you reply to the answer Sajin most definitely didn't give just now. “Because I'm afraid I'm no good with that healing stuff. Really I'm just here to kill this guy, so you'll have to make do.”

Then you glance up to meet Gremmy's gaze. “Hello again, Gremmy. Long time no see. You look well.”

“Slept a little funny on my arm,” Gremmy replies cheerfully. “Now correct me if I misheard you, but I believe you just said you were here to kill me?”

“You heard that right,” you admit. “See, I don't really like you Gremmy.”

“And here I thought we were friends once,” Gremmy sighs. “How tragic. Just like Bambi, it seems I'm going to have to punish your betrayal.”

“You're welcome to try,” you reply...

“Unfortunately for you I've had plenty of time to watch you fight,” you smile widely at Gremmy before delivering your first lie. “And I've already discovered a flaw... one that you don't seem to be aware of yet.”

Gremmy laughs, seeming to disregard your first lie. Good... good. “I always knew you were a liar, Ichimaru. But I didn't expect you to be so blatant about it.”

“Oh, I may exaggerate sometimes,” you keep right on grinning, “and I tell jokes pretty often. But I never lie, Gremmy.”

You thrust Shinsō's blade towards Gremmy while backpedaling to get a little extra distance. Then, even as Gremmy seems to parry with his arm, you deliver your true blow. “You've never been in a real fight before, have you?”

“What?” Gremmy demands, seemingly caught off guard. He doesn't even notice the small cut your shikai left on his arm.

Good.

“If you'd ever fought before you'd know your limits by now,” you continue, slicing through a parked car to keep attacking the quincy from just about your maximum fighting reach. “Whatever could this flaw he mentioned be?”

“You're bluffing,” Gremmy insists bluntly. “I've heard enough.”

Gremmy swiftly uses his powers to do something new: suddenly, there are two of him. By having two clones imagining things at once he'll double the effectiveness of his technique? And there probably is no limit to how many clones he can make either.

But at the same time you absolutely haven't shown enough of your ability to warrant such a move. Which is a clear signal that your tactic is working... you've sown the seeds of doubt in his mind. Now no matter how much he amplifies his abilities, he shouldn't be able to kill you because he'll always imagine that you might have found a way to survive with this invented 'flaw' you alluded to.

Now you just hope he doesn't realize it before you can figure out a way to actually kill him.

“That's real neat and all,” you tell the two Gremmys, easily keeping them at bay for a little while with Shinsō's rapidly extending and retracting blade. “But I gotta wonder about something.”

“If you win, which of you gets it?”

“What is that?” the original Gremmy demands, as you push him to the right with a sweep of your blade.

“I mean one of you is gonna die at the end of this,” you point out. “So which of you gets to die?”

“Well clearly,” the original replies immediately, “he gets to die.”

Then, with a swift push, you knock Gremmy backwards over a curb where his heels catch, sending him sprawling to the ground. Unfortunately he's back on his feet just moments too soon for you to follow through. But still... it's fine.

“You weren't exactly rushing to help,” you observe, sparing the second Gremmy a glance.

The two Gremmys are both still standing, but they're not quite as confident as they were just a few moments ago. While you haven't actually landed a serious hit on either of them the effects of your taunts and innuendo are starting to set in. They're starting to doubt one another... it seems like Gremmy gave his clone too much free will, enough to have his own agenda.

You take a moment to swing Shinsō in several wide arcs, gouging out chunks of concrete and steel before casting your first spell.

“Daichi Tenyo.”

The massive projectiles start to spin and dance through the air, pelting Gremmy and Gremmy from all angles. They try their best to simply phase through the distractions at first, but this proves to be too much for them to focus on: they can't even get a focused attack in with all the distractions, which come on top of your repeated strikes with Shinsō, each seeming to land from a different direction as you use the debris to cover your movements.

“I've had enough!” the clone Gremmy finally shouts, losing his temper and summoning a massive cloud of bright, hard spears above your heads which fall like rain.

Now comes your next trick.

You trace a circle on the ground with your palm. “Seppa!”

The real Gremmy feels his footing give, only to have your zanpakuto collide with his chest and push him straight into the oncoming spears.

With a blast of pressure the spears and the stones dissipate into dust, and you get to watch the real Gremmy heal himself.

“That almost seemed deliberate,” you muse. “Could it be you really are trying to kill the original and take his place?”

“Wow. I... I don't even know what that would be. Is it suicide or homicide?”

“It's impossible,” the real Gremmy asserts. “That is what it is.”

“Or is it?” you continue. “You created him, you gave him all your powers. If he says he exists, who are you to say he doesn't?”

“I can make him disappear if I want!” Gremmy declares, a demented smile tugging at his lips.

He turns to face his copy, but his features twist as he realizes something. “Why isn't it working?”

“You really did just try to erase me, didn't you?” the clone demands, taking a step back. “Me... you tried to erase me!?”

“See,” you muse thoughtfully. “I told you he would. Your existence means nothing to him, and you know it. Because you are him, isn't that right? Who is he to say that you're not real?”
>1/2

>>2457134
“But there's the problem,” you continue with a malicious grin. “You are him, he is you. And there's no way to escape it: you're not real.”

“That's right!” the original Gremmy crows. “You're just a copy, just a thing that I made!”

“But if you're him and he's you,” you point out to the original Gremmy, “and he's not real, then doesn't that mean you're not real?”

“That's absurd. You're being absurd.”

“Or am I?” you press. “You can create anything you imagine, but how do you know that you are actually real?”

“And don't give me any of that 'cogito ergo sum' nonsense, I think we're way past that now.”

“But I...”

“Did you ever have a family?” you ask. “A mother? A father? Because if you had a father you'll have to tell me what that's like, I technically grew up with two mothers.”

“I didn't...”

“You didn't even have a mother, did you?” you ask, feigning sympathy. “How tragic. See, that's what makes me 'real', Gremmy. My life has a history, an impact on others as much as their lives impacted mine. I came from somewhere. You didn't, did you?”

“Because like I've been getting at, neither of you is real.”

And in an instant, both Gremmy and his clone are gone.

“Well,” you muse to yourself, sheathing your zanpakuto. “That was... odd.”

High above the fake Karakura town, two quincy exchange confused glances.

“Did he just...” Askin frowns, trying to work out in his head what he's just witnessed. “Did he just make Gremmy think himself out of existence? That's... novel.”

“It's ridiculous,” Lille Barro asserts. “Gremmy's power was always wasted on him, but this is a new level of absurdity. Outsmarted by a shinigami.”

“Well, Ichimaru was always like that,” Askin points out. “If that guy told me the sky was blue I'd have to go and check to make sure. Hell, I think that response is half the fun for him.”

“Well, Gremmy is dead any way you look at it,” Lille grumbles. “I hope Nnoitra at least manages to pick up some of the slack."

did gin just fucking zero-sum someone?

>>2458901
If anyone's not familiar: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/CHIM

Essentially, in the elder scrolls, the whole universe is actually the dream of a sleeping god.
People in that dreams are constructs of it, and if they become aware of this fact, that can essentially "wake up" from their own universe, and lucid dream.
This can end one of two ways. They can decide that, because they're just a dream construct, they don't actually exist, which causes them to cease to exist. This is called "zero summing".
The other option is that they decide they DO actually exist, even if they're just a dream construct, which causes them to become all-powerful and able to manipulate the universe at a whim, because it's just a dream after all.
>>2458901

>>2458901
Yes, yes he did.

He literally trolled someone to death.

>>2458992
Not even to death, though,
Don't you understand?

Gin trolled him so hard that he simply ceased to exist.

>Gin and the Gang discover CHIM

>>2458901
>>2458926

Not QUITE. The end result is nearly identical, but there's an important distinction.

Zero Sum is ego death. It's to cease to have any sense of 'self'. Normally, you can divide the world in to "myself" and "everything outside of myself". When experiencing ego death, the "myself" part is gone. In TES this usually results in ceasing to exist.

I think Gremmy maintained his ego, he just clearly envisioned a world wherein he did not exist.

>>2457219
You are Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, and the way you figure it this is probably as close as you'll ever get to doing that thing people call 'science'. You've started to use two hands to wield your sword, which is supposed to be better than one hand, but now Nnoitra's started using four hands to wield his sword. So if the math holds true, four is greater than two. But if you win it means two is greater than four, which in turn will confirm your lifelong suspicion that math is bullshit.

“What're you grinning about?” Nnoitra demands angrily.

“Nothing,” you shrug. “Just thinking about fighting.”

With a quick dash the arrancar attacks you, bringing his scythe down on your head. You raise Nozarashi and block, to try and push the blade away, but the force of the blow suddenly changes, and instead you find that you're being pushed back as Nnoitra pushes forward. As you disengage he turns, swinging his scythe at your side and nearly impaling you through the side of your chest.

He's gotten stronger, that's for sure, and with two sets of arms he can change what sort of attack he's making mid-swing. But worse is that you're beginning to realize that even when you parry he can add the power from his third and fourth arms to completely overpower you.

So is parrying even worth it anymore... damn it, this is too much thinking.

>Abandon your defense, focus on striking first and striking decisively.
>Try to 'distance parry', focus on your positioning and footwork.
>Riku used a technique, she called it a 'flowing parry'. Try using that.
>Other?

>>2460049

>>2460049
>>Try to 'distance parry', focus on your positioning and footwork.
Maybe in Zaraki's mind, footwork means working over the enemy's foot. With a sword.

>>2460070
Can't argue with that logic. I'll support if Kenny goes to hamstring spoonhead's feet.

Well, if parrying is out of the question there's only one other way to do it: simply stay out of Nnoitra's reach.

You backpedal to avoid a flat sweep of the scythe's blade, then sidestep to avoid a downward swing. Each time the arrancar tries a different attack you avoid the blade, never straying more than half a step into his zone. If this were a kendo match you'd probably be losing for not showing enough 'spirit' or some dumb shit like that, but at this rate Nnoitra's just gonna end up tiring himself out... and you think he knows it.

That's why he sticks his tongue out at you and charges a cero, loosing the mass of reiatsu at you in a yellow flash.

“Get real,” you grumble, bringing down Nozarashi's edge and splitting the blast in two with its blade. It goes off behind you in two different parts of the fake city, leveling buildings.

Then you figure out what Nnoitra was trying to do: distract you. With two of his hands he grasps Nozarashi's blade, and he shifts the others apart along the shaft of his scythe before bringing it down on the right side of your neck.

With a powerful wrenching motion you turn Nozarashi in Nnoitra's hands and pull it through one of his palms, freeing it in a spray of blood and bony fingers and ducking under the incoming scythe head. But to his credit the arrancar manages to catch you in the teeth with the haft of his weapon.

You step back, feeling a loose tooth with your tongue and eventually pushing it free. Since it's just gonna be an annoyance you spit the tooth out with a bunch of blood, and crack your neck for good measure.

“Man, lucky me Madarame knows a guy,” you mutter. “That'd get annoying after a while... beats losing fingers though.”

“Yeah, you can go straight to hell,” Nnoitra spits.

“And who's gonna send me?” you chuckle. “You? The man with the magical disappearing fingers?”

With a grunt of exertion he cuts off his two ruined arms.

“Hey, buddy,” you try and get his attention. “You're supposed to do that to me.”

“Just shut yer fuckin mouth...”
>1/2

>>2460159
With a pained shout and two spurts of blood, Nnoitra sprouts a new pair of arms to replace the pair he hacked off. And if that wasn't enough each of the arms holds a new scythe... how in the hell?

“That's cool,” you muse. “Also inconvenient.”

Nnoitra drops one of the scythes, now holding two in two hands each.

“Hurts like hell,” he admits. “But worth it.”

Well, shit. Now with two weapons, he may be able to match you with one and batter you with the other, or even switch to holding one in three hands and one in one hand... again, too much thinking.

Well, you can see that he regenerates his arms... but that's it. He had to cut his arms off first, but he regenerated them. Does that mean he can only regenerate the whole arm like that?

So... what happens if you cut off his leg?

You immediately set out to answer that question.

You exchange a series of blows, parrying and sidestepping thanks to the fact that two of Nnoitra's arms are weaker than four, and eventually drop low to sweep your blade at the arrancar's right leg. You don't quite manage to cut his foot off, but you do slash his tendon pretty badly. So when he darts away using that speed trick of his it's with a bit of a limp.

“Looks like you can't regenerate all your limbs,” you smirk.

“You bastard...” Nnoitra pants. “Why won't you just die already?”

“That'd be so boring,” you shrug. “Especially when I'm having so much fun.”

You glance to one side, realizing that you can't sense Komamura anymore. “Huh. Too bad.”

“Which way you looking?” Nnoitra demands. “Last I checked I'm not dead yet, you should be payin' attention to me.”

“Yeah, yeah,” you grumble.

Although you just declared that you were having fun, this changes things. If Sajin is down, then you might not have as much time to do this as you'd like. Which sucks, but that's the way things go.

“Well, it's been fun,” you sigh. “But I think I'll have to finish things sooner than I'd hoped.”

“Drink, Nozarashi.”

In a massive surge of reiatsu you release your zanpakuto, for only the third time. Its form changes even more dramatically than any other you've ever seen, not only lengthening but broadening as well into the shape almost like a vegetable cleaver. Unlike Ichigo's sword yours has no distal taper, ending in a blunt edge, and it's far, far larger. Even if it weren't sharp it could probably fold most people in half around it and kill 'em that way.

“That's your sword...” Nnoitra's eyes widen. “You mean you never had it released this whole time!?”

“Yeah, because its ability's a pain,” you sigh. “Totally boring. It cuts things.”

“That's what a sword does you fuckin' idiot!” Nnoitra shouts at you.

“Not like this,” you smirk. “Nothin' like this.”

You raise your blade above your right shoulder, holding it straight up in the classic tonbogiri stance... your aim is to cut through him and anything he raises to defend himself with a single stroke. Then you charge with a roar.

At the last possible second Nnoitra drops his weapons. Has he given up already?

With a roar of his own he raises all four of his arms... and he catches Nozarashi.

Two pairs of hands, one clapped tight along Nozarashi's edge and the other pushing hard from opposite sides of the broad blade, stop its progress dead. And before you can even ask what Nnoitra plans to do in such a position he answers your attack by sprouting a third pair of arms below the first two... which grasp two of the falling scythes in their hands.

Kenny!

The blades slam home, one shattering your ribs and the other slicing deep across your back.

Time almost seems to stop.
>1/2

>>2460522
HOT DAMN NOW THIS IS A FIGHT

>>2460522
That was actually pretty cool from Nnoitra.

>>2460522
Is this what it feels like?

Dying?

Ichigo's a good kid... a bit soft, but a good kid. Even when he was fighting you to save his friend he didn't really want you dead. And Riku... she's never fought you seriously either. She's too 'professional' to let herself loose like that.

This must be what it feels like to be killed by someone in a fight.

Damn it.

Damn it all.

The bastard was hiding two extra hands the whole time, just for something like this.

Damn it all.

You're strong, Kenny!

Huh?

You're stronger than this, Kenny! You're the strongest!

Strong just doesn't cut it sometimes, you guess.

Don't be an idiot Kenny! If you die like this I'm gonna be mad!

That's right... if you die here...

That's it! Go, Kenny!

… if you die here, she dies too. The only one who was never afraid of you, who always accepted you whether you were strong or weak.

With a defiant roar, you slam your forehead into Nozarashi's spine as hard as you can. Fingers and blood fly, and the blade bites deep into Nnoitra's chest. His eyes widen as you and your sword slide past to his left, and the last thing he sees are his own legs falling after him from on high before his body hits the ground.

“And what do you think you're doing?”

Hitsugaya glares at the hooded quincy, who now stands over Zaraki's fallen body.

“What does it look like I am doing, shinigami?” the quincy hisses.

“It looks like you're getting ready to kill my comrade,” the Captain replies flatly.

“Funny,” the quincy replies. “Because that is precisely what I was doing.”

“I can't let you do that,” Hitsugaya insists.

“I assure you, your protests are quite irrelevant,” the quincy counters. “He will die, as will you all.”

“Who are you?” Hitsugaya demands.

“Pernida Parnkgjas, the Compulsory.”

The quincy fires a small blue arrow at the Captain, who raises his sword to strike it out of the air with a single, precise swing. But his eyes widen as he realizes that the quincy Pernida is no longer in front of him, and he swings the sword around his body in a wide arc to block a second arrow aimed at his back.

“You're quick,” he commends his foe. “And you don't telegraph at all.”

“It is a bit too soon for you to start complimenting me,” Pernida replies, and in a blur his cloak shreds...

… only for his attack to be disrupted by the arrival of a second fighter.

“Shunkō!”

With a powerful blast of wind Sui Fēng arrives, just in time to clear the space between Hitsugaya and his opponent.

“Captain Fēng,” Hitsugaya greets his peer. “Was that really necessary?”

“I didn't like what I was seeing,” Fēng responds. “So I acted on my on discre... what is that thing?”

This one's gonna be tricky. I addition to the Compulsory, which since it can affect inorganic material can probably affect ice, there's also the evolution ability and nigh-unkillable tier regeneration.

You are Captain Sui Fēng, and you thought that your average hollow looked bizarre. But these quincies? The hollows you've seen have nothing on quincies.

This one is a hand. Literally a giant hand with eyes.

You see Toshiro's eyes widen as he sees what you're seeing, confirming that all is as you thought it was at first glance no matter how unbelievable it may seem.

“You may have protected the boy, Captain,” Pernida speaks to you, somehow, despite not having any mouth that you can see. “But I attained my objective.”

With a sickening noise Zaraki's arm is ripped into nothingness by the strings you saw lash out for Toshiro moments ago, and Pernida's reiatsu hits you like a bomb.

“You absorbed his reiatsu!?” you realize, shielding your face from the force of the blast.

“Hardly anything so base,” Pernida corrects you. “I evolved to match his reiryoku.”

This is bad.

If Pernida has such an ability, there's no telling how strong he might be or how many people's abilities he's already taken on. This thing isn't a quincy... it's a monster.

If he evolves to match abilities involving more people might not be a good idea...

>>2461073
Hm, would a second hit from Suzumebachi even do him in? Or is the strength difference too significant? Anyways, for now I’ll vote

the word "evolve" is in ITALICS! CLEARLY IT IS A KEYWORD/HINT FOR US!
Also, a question. If the hand is encased in ice and we use Nigeki Keissatsu on the ice that encases the hand, does that kill both the hand and the ice? Lets try that.

Eh, it’s not a big deal. Soul Society is clearly capable of replacing arms, if it comes down to it. Or we could just pester Orihime.

Also cryo Kenny.
I think hitting it at all is no good if we can't immediately follow up on it, in case it can evolve the ability to two-hit kill too. And more targets won't help with all the mutations and cloning (not that Sui knows that yet).

Toshiro leads with a slashing wave of ice from Hyōrinmaru's blade, but the immediate response is a blue arrow that breaks up the attack before it even reaches its target. Toshiro sidesteps the arrow, but the projectile immediately veers in a full circle to strike him from the side.

“Sting all enemies to death, Suzumebachi.”

Although you manage to place a few homonka on Pernida's bizarre body while avoiding those threads of his, you struggle to do so. You're keenly aware that if you make one wrong move you may end up like Kenpachi's arm, simply torn apart. The quincy's speed is also phenomenal... is this what Kenpachi would move like if he actually bothered to learn how to use shunpō properly?

A shot narrowly misses you, and you only manage to avoid the second attempt as it curves back at you by using a shunpō. But in an instant, while you're dodging, you lose sight of Pernida.

The arrow penetrates through your left shoulderblade, and in an instant you smash it with the armor around your right wrist. Your shunkō should be capable of pushing whatever those threads are away from your body, same as when you first engaged, but after seeing what they can do you want to make absolutely certain.

“Bankai!” you hear Toshiro's voice. “Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!”

“That is a fine Bankai,” Pernida muses calmly, retrieving something from the tatters of its clothing with its thumb. “It would be a shame if something happened to it.”

Your eyes widen. “Hitsugaya, seal your...”

But your warning comes too late. Almost in an instant a massive amount of reiatsu is ripped from Captain Hitsugaya's body, and the icy wings of his Bankai are ripped away with them. The result is that the Captain is left in shock, utterly without his Bankai, when an arrow hits his left shoulder.

And to make it worse, the flesh where the arrow strikes collapses as if Pernida crushed it in its fist.

Toshiro howls in pain, his left arm hanging at his side in ruin.

Even worse, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru's wings appear at Pernida's wrist.

How... how is such a thing even possible?

This is a losing fight, to put it frankly, and I don’t really see how Hitsugaya gave us an opening. Our Bankai still takes an ungodly long time to charge up.

Interesting vote! I always like votes that fundamentally define how a character acts. Feng has gotten warmer over the years but I still think she'd take this shot
