Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Battle Between Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng! 'I Love Watching Women Fight!'
Witnessing Kenpachi Zaraki's overwhelming power, countless Quincy were indeed terrified!
Among so many Quincy, perhaps only the elite few—Haschwalth and similar powerhouses—could barely maintain their composure.
Yhwach naturally remained calm, merely sighing:
"As expected of a Special War Power, truly worthy of the designation."
"It seems when the opportunity arises, I must eliminate Kenpachi Zaraki first. Otherwise, his potential will prove as immeasurable as Ichigo Kurosaki's!"
"Even losing to him wouldn't be particularly shameful."
"Besides, Gerard didn't fail completely. With the immortal body I granted him, facing this Shinigami who only maxed out his attack power, he need not fear."
"They are Special War Powers after all, so they possess some skill. As for the other captains, you can still easily capture them!"
Yhwach's words boosted Quincy morale.
That's right!
They had to believe these Shinigami weren't worth mentioning at all!
Only Kenpachi Zaraki was a rare exception!
The Quincy would definitely achieve final victory!
...
While Gerard and Kenpachi Zaraki's battle caused chaos among all factions, the Three Realms Projection remained silent. Only after the audience barely calmed down did it resume questioning.
[DING!]
[Next, let's proceed to the Q&A session!]
[Among the numerous comments, which was selected as the featured comment?]
[Please answer within five minutes.]
Hearing this, everyone tensed up again, frantically searching for comments that had appeared earlier.
Every time Kenpachi Zaraki released his Zanpakutō, it created spectacular drama.
Therefore, the comments that appeared were indeed countless.
[Madarame Ikkaku]: Captain-level understanding of the Eleventh Division!
[Urahara Kisuke]: Yhwach truly is an old man selling cheats.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: This isn't even Kenpachi's strongest Bankai. If the sword wasn't broken, wouldn't it be stronger? Kenpachi has no conscious control
[Unohana Retsu]: Angels vs. Demons? What irony. The Quincy is an angel, and the Shinigami is a demon
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Sure enough, Kenpachi the Berserker can't perform unless he's at low health.
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi]: In fact, if Kenpachi was conscious now, he wouldn't be excited but sad and angry, because he'd rather not have power than lose Yachiru.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: The only one who can defeat Kenpachi Zaraki is really himself
...
[Nnoitra Gilga]: Deliberately weakening myself - this is familiar territory for me
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: The stronger the person, the more fragile their heart becomes.
[Coyote Starrk]: I didn't expect a tough guy like Kenpachi would have a loli in his heart?
[Tier Harribel]: Imagination could recover continuously before, but it was imagination that wanted to eliminate itself. I feel Gerard might not be defeated by enemies…
[Ichimaru Gin]: You may not know that Kenpachi is called Little Ichigo
[Shunsui Kyōraku]: Could it be that Aizen was similar to Kenpachi, unable to withstand his own Bankai?
...
["K" BG9]: Is this cheater invincible?
["V" Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Kenpachi: I underestimated my own full strength.
[Gerard Valkyrie]: It's a pity that Kenpachi Zaraki's cheat has expired.
[Lille Barro]: Gerard's health-locking cheat is something even Ichigo would call excessive.
...
After everyone submitted their answers, the Three Realms Projection began searching for the correct response.
[DING!]
[Beginning answer search...]
[The correct answer is—If Kenpachi were conscious at this moment, he definitely wouldn't be excited, only sad and angry! He'd rather not have Bankai's power than lose Yachiru!]
[The first to answer this question was Mayuri Kurotsuchi!]
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi gains 1 point!]
Hearing this, Soul Society's forces cheered.
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi]: Not bad, I actually earned points. I hope future rewards include components I need.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: If there are rewards other captains require, I hope Captain Kurotsuchi will assist them.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Damn it, why do these comments love cursing me so much? Though this comment does have some truth to it
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Look on the bright side—this comment might have been chosen simply because it was long... Don't take it too seriously
[Kusajishi Yachiru]: Ken-chan, some things need to be accepted gradually.
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Alright, Yachiru, stop talking. I need to control my own power. When I have time, I'll learn more about communicating with my Zanpakutō. I must master Shikai and Bankai through my own strength! Anyone familiar with this can help me—I'll be very grateful!
[Ōetsu Nimaiya]: Wow, it finally smells good, right?
[Unohana Retsu]: Captain Zaraki Kenpachi rarely thanks others. It's truly precious. I hope you quickly gain the power you deserve! We Gotei 13 will help you.
[Madarame Ikkaku]: Captain, I can help you! Hehe, though I can't beat you, I can still do this much.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: I... I'm not great at communicating with Zanpakutō either, but I'll help you if I get the chance, Kenpachi Zaraki
[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Thank you, everyone!
Witnessing Kenpachi Zaraki's transformation, Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollows alike were amazed.
Incredible that this battle maniac could change like this.
It seems Kusajishi Yachiru holds an extremely high position in Kenpachi Zaraki's heart.
Perhaps even the other captains can't compare!
While everyone remained immersed in Kenpachi Zaraki's terrifying combat prowess, the familiar mechanical voice of the Three Realms Projection returned.
[DING!]
[Next, we'll begin playing a new famous scene. Please prepare to answer questions.]
[This features two of Soul Society's most worthy Valkyries!]
[Yoruichi Shihōin and Suì-Fēng!]
[First, let's examine the love-hate relationship between them!]
[This poem is dedicated to them...]
[Your shadow is like a purposeless poison needle, blocking my path!]
[Your light is like thunder gently striking a water tower, severing my life's source!]
This poem's style differed completely from Kenpachi Zaraki's previous verse.
[Yoruichi Shihōin]: Ah, I'm featured in this. Valkyrie... seems quite fitting for us!
[Suì-Fēng]: Excellent! As long as it's a video of Yoruichi and me, there's a chance I can answer correctly, right? But why is there poetry here... and it feels like something I'd say... so embarrassing!
[Yoruichi Shihōin]: How can a girl like you speak such touching verses?
[Urahara Kisuke]: Ahem, even videos about myself might not guarantee correct answers. In fact, there might be more pitfalls. This follows the patterns I've observed!
[Nnoitra Gilga]: Two women? How boring.
[Ōmaeda Marechiyo]: Haha! Excellent! I love watching women fight the most!
["E" Bambietta Basterbine]: Tch, you dare boast about being Valkyries? Let me see how many of you female Shinigami can actually fight.
["G" Liltotto Lamperd]: Compared to us, it's definitely nothing
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Don't get cocky, Quincy! We'll show you how powerful our female Shinigami are.
...
In the projection, everyone soon witnessed the battle between Suì-Fēng and Yoruichi Shihōin.
After Ichigo Kurosaki rescued Rukia Kuchiki, countless people gathered at the scene, each finding their opponents.
Suì-Fēng observed the chaotic execution grounds, uncertain what she should do.
A figure arrived just in time!
Swish!
The attack targeted Suì-Fēng directly.
Suì-Fēng blocked the assault, but her form was continuously repelled, eventually falling from a high cliff.
Suì-Fēng also saw her attacker's face.
It was Yoruichi Shihōin, whom she'd dreamed about for years!
The shock on her face was impossible to hide!
...
Comments flooded with jokes:
Suì-Fēng: This is wonderful!
Suì-Fēng says "let me go," but she's actually delighted.
The lovers' quarrel begins.
Suì-Fēng might be a dowry gift—if Urahara Kisuke got a buy-one-get-one-free deal, she'd be quite willing, right?
...
At this moment, Suì-Fēng still believed Yoruichi was guilty, so she said coldly:
"Yoruichi! You committed serious crimes and defected from Soul Society. As Commander-in-Chief of the Special Forces, I have the obligation to arrest you!! Now I'm stronger than you!"
Of course, for Suì-Fēng, the second sentence was clearly the key point.
Then, the two women from the Second Division began their high-speed battle...
Before long, Suì-Fēng suffered minor shoulder injuries while Yoruichi Shihōin coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing this, Suì-Fēng quickly released her Shikai.
Suì-Fēng's Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi, transformed into a spike with a gauntlet-like shape.
It also possessed a two-hit kill ability!
Once Suì-Fēng's attack struck an enemy, it left a mark!
If the same location was hit twice, the marks would stack, guaranteeing the enemy's death.
Yoruichi Shihōin avoided direct confrontation with Suì-Fēng, beginning strategic retreat.
During the chase, Suì-Fēng left marks on various parts of Yoruichi Shihōin's body.
One more hit would kill Yoruichi!
...
Comments streamed past:
Aizen: Two-hit kill? Ah, yes, yes!
As everyone knows, abilities with instant-kill effects basically never kill anyone.
Actually, you can't say Suì-Fēng's two-hit kill is useless. After all, Suì-Fēng definitely wouldn't want to kill Yoruichi with two hits.
This isn't fighting—it's clearly flirting!
Don't stop, I just love watching women fight!
The domineering Yoruichi and spoiled Suì-Fēng couple dynamic.
Stop fighting, it's useless! The yuri is decided! 🐶
...
In the chat group, although the current battle was less shocking than the previous one, everyone still enjoyed it.
Those on the Shinigami side knew they were all allies, so they wanted to praise each other.
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Oh, your fight is really interesting... My speed might be slightly inferior to yours.
[Zommari Rureaux]: Interesting. I'd also like to compete with these Shinigami in speed.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Don't even think about it. Yoruichi is much faster than me. Compared to her, you'd simply be crushed.
[Baraggan Louisenbairn]: All flashy nonsense. If I were fighting, I'd counter your close-range attacks perfectly.
[Ichigo Kurosaki]: These captains are really powerful in their own ways.
[Chad Yasutora]: Indeed, without help, we probably wouldn't have rescued Rukia so easily.
[Inoue Orihime]: Yeah, I feel like my eyes can't keep up with their speed
...
In the projection, as Suì-Fēng pursued, Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly stopped!
Seeing Yoruichi Shihōin panting, Suì-Fēng felt very proud.
She also employed advanced combat techniques combining Hakuda with Kidō!
Boom!
Suì-Fēng was surrounded by intense white spiritual pressure, her momentum suddenly soaring.
Seeing she could show off before her former idol, she said proudly:
"How's this? My Zanpakutō, speed, and this technique all far exceed your imagination!"
"See the violent spiritual pressure around me? There's no way you can defeat me!"
"Since I'm showing you my technique for the first time, I'll demonstrate my respect for you."
Yoruichi Shihōin laughed at Suì-Fēng.
She'd mastered this technique long ago and even named it—"Shunkō"!!
Yoruichi Shihōin also explained to Suì-Fēng that she wore sleeveless clothing because the high concentration of kidō energy gathered around her body would explode shoulder garments.
BOOM—
Yoruichi's tall, slender, alluring figure was fully displayed!
Seeing Yoruichi could also perform Shunkō, and so provocatively...
Suì-Fēng was shocked!
How was this possible?
Wasn't this an original technique she took pride in?
Could Yoruichi do it too?
Damn it...
I thought I could surpass Yoruichi in this aspect!
At that moment, Suì-Fēng charged forward relentlessly, competing with Yoruichi to see who was stronger!
However, whether due to insufficient kidō mastery or losing control after seeing her idol's alluring figure...
Suì-Fēng was no longer in control as before, quickly defeated by Yoruichi Shihōin.
She'd obviously been holding back when fighting Suì-Fēng earlier—now getting slightly serious, Suì-Fēng was swiftly overwhelmed.
This was an unbridgeable chasm!
At this point, Yoruichi Shihōin grabbed Suì-Fēng's hand, pulling her into an embrace.
Suì-Fēng also revealed her journey during this time!
In the past, Suì-Fēng had deeply admired Yoruichi Shihōin.
She'd also promised Yoruichi Shihōin that she would always protect Lady Yoruichi!!
Suì-Fēng's feelings toward Yoruichi Shihōin were complex and profound...
Lord, family, friend, lover...
She resented that Yoruichi Shihōin left without taking her, so she worked hard to capture Yoruichi Shihōin with her own strength.
Suì-Fēng might even think Yoruichi Shihōin's secret defection was her eloping with Urahara Kisuke!
This was probably Suì-Fēng's greatest source of pain.
Unfortunately, she ultimately lost to Yoruichi Shihōin.
Suì-Fēng's mentality completely collapsed.
She cried and began questioning Yoruichi Shihōin through tears:
"Why didn't you take me with you back then?!"
The reunion oflovers after long separation—truly a good show...
Yoruichi Shihōin was actually deeply saddened. Urahara Kisuke had been framed by Aizen's Hollowfication experiments and forced to flee Soul Society urgently.
It was difficult enough for Yoruichi Shihōin to help them escape—how could she have had the opportunity to bring Suì-Fēng along?
Moreover, she didn't want to implicate Suì-Fēng!
So Yoruichi Shihōin held Suì-Fēng in her arms, letting her cry.
Everything was understood without words.
...
At this moment, another barrage assault arrived:
It's unfortunate Suì-Fēng didn't hear what Aizen said: "Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding..."
When did you get the illusion that you'd become stronger?
No wonder Suì-Fēng is so hostile toward the shop manager.
Suì-Fēng probably really thinks Yoruichi eloped with the manager...
Don't look at her crying so sadly—Suì-Fēng might be celebrating internally right now!
This Suì-Fēng seems like a dowry gift, haha, but she was abandoned by Yoruichi.
Suì-Fēng's greatest achievement is becoming Ōmaeda's captain.
Big Spending Division!
I want to know who's richer—Ōmaeda or Byakuya Kuchiki.
The Second Division really is full of hidden talents, with Flashstep and Shunkō.
...
In the chat group:
[Suì-Fēng]: Ah, what an embarrassing scene!
[Yoruichi Shihōin]: Sigh, these past hundred years have been truly difficult for you, Suì-Fēng
[Suì-Fēng]: Hmph, Lady Yoruichi is so annoying
[Ōmaeda Marechiyo]: Yes, I was moved to tears too. This is the deep friendship between two Second Division captains. Captain Suì-Fēng, I believe you can fulfill your wish and surpass the master you admire, Yoruichi.
