At this time, regarding the ability of Shukuro Tsukishima, Mayuri began to analyze thoughtfully!
"It seems that in a way, it can be achieved."
"Because if you can modify the past, then on this Tensa Zangetsu, attach a timeline that Yhwach has no way to interfere with..."
"It should be possible, right?"
"Even such a mysterious thing as memory, Shukuro Tsukishima can change, then it is estimated that repairing a sword is not a difficult thing."
"Maybe... In the end, Kurosaki Ichigo really relied on this Shukuro Tsukishima to achieve the repair of Tensa Zangetsu!"
For a time, countless Shinigami were brainstorming, very much looking forward to seeing the development of the plot later. If they really rely on Shukuro Tsukishima to repair Tensa Zangetsu and achieve the final victory over Yhwach, that's really a very dramatic thing!
One of the individuals defeated by Kurosaki Ichigo ended up standing by Kurosaki Ichigo's side. It's really a bit funny!
But for Kurosaki Ichigo, it is not an incredible thing. Because the Shinigami in Soul Society have long been accustomed to it! Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to turn enemies into friends again and again, making the people around him more and more numerous.
In the beginning, the Shinigami of Soul Society wanted to sentence Rukia to death, which caused Ichigo Kurosaki to break into Soul Society to save Kuchiki Rukia. It even changed the perception of the whole world, letting the Shinigami slowly change their old thinking.
After that, Kurosaki Ichigo came to Hueco Mundo and also let Grimmjow and even Aizen help Ichigo Kurosaki in the final decisive battle—it's a very incredible thing.
So in the future, even if Shukuro Tsukishima helps Kurosaki Ichigo win the final victory, they will not be so surprised. After all, Kurosaki Ichigo is such an incredible existence.
Thinking of this, everyone is looking forward to continuing to watch. They want to see what Kurosaki Ichigo will be like in the next battle.
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi: How fascinating! To think that an enemy's ability could become the key to victory. The irony is simply delicious!]
[Ukitake Jushiro: Ichigo-kun has always had this talent for turning former enemies into allies. It's quite remarkable.]
[Kyoraku Shunsui: Well, if it works, it works! Sometimes the most unexpected solutions are the most effective.]
In the projection, after a period of intense fighting between Byakuya Kuchiki and Shukuro Tsukishima, the battle reached a critical turning point.
[While fighting, Byakuya revealed what appeared to be a flaw, and was finally cornered by Shukuro Tsukishima. Although Byakuya used close-range attacks to counter, he was still in a dangerous position. After all, his Zanpakuto rarely attacks at such close distance—this was uncharted territory for the noble captain!]
"Senbonzakura's petals cannot achieve maximum effectiveness at this range," Byakuya thought grimly as he maneuvered around Tsukishima's relentless assault.
Tsukishima seized the opportunity when Byakuya couldn't retract his blade quickly enough and managed to slash him with his own Zanpakuto.
SHING!
Blood splattered across the battlefield as Tsukishima's blade found its mark. This was a very unimaginable outcome for the usually composed Byakuya Kuchiki.
Subsequently, Byakuya quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and indeed seemed to lose his combat effectiveness. Shukuro Tsukishima approached the fallen captain with a confident smirk.
"Is this the extent of the Kuchiki family's power?" Tsukishima taunted, thinking that Byakuya had no way to escape at the moment. "After injuring your left hand, you've basically lost most of your combat effectiveness. Even if you can still use Kido, it's estimated that you won't be able to produce much of an attack."
However, seeing this man mocking him, Byakuya just smiled coldly. I have long since ceased to be bound by the rigid principles of the past. For Ichigo Kurosaki... for the one who saved my pride and my sister... I will use any means necessary.
As Tsukishima approached him, confident in his victory, a hidden Senbonzakura blade suddenly materialized in Byakuya's left hand—a technique he had never used before, one that went against his traditional fighting style.
THRUST!
The concealed blade penetrated Shukuro Tsukishima's chest with lethal precision, piercing straight through his heart.
"Impossible..." Tsukishima gasped, blood spilling from his lips as he staggered backward. "The cold, proud Byakuya Kuchiki... you who have always disdained the use of underhanded tactics... you would even use such a trick?"
"It's really... unexpected..."
Byakuya was very frank at this moment, his voice carrying a newfound resolve. "After experiencing a series of ideological struggles, I have long ceased to be my former conservative self. Therefore, this underhanded method can also be employed at this moment."
Besides, in order to defeat you... in order to protect my benefactor Ichigo Kurosaki... even if it was a trick, I don't care about anything. I will be very willing to use it!
"For Kurosaki Ichigo, I am not even afraid of death! What's more, just going against my own personality and using some underhanded tactics?"
THUD!
Tsukishima collapsed heavily to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief as his strength ebbed away.
[Abarai Renji: Captain Byakuya! That was amazing! I've never seen you fight like that before!]
[Kuchiki Rukia: Nii-sama... you've really changed.]
[Kurosaki Ichigo: Byakuya... thank you.]
[Madarame Ikkaku: Who would've thought the noble captain had tricks like that up his sleeve!]
[Yumichika Ayasegawa: Sometimes even the most beautiful fighter must employ less elegant methods.]
In this way, the battle between Byakuya Kuchiki and Shukuro Tsukishima ended decisively.
Subsequently, the other Shinigami also ended their battles one after another and gathered together, demanding that the Fullbring user who controlled the game console, Yukio, quickly release Kurosaki Ichigo and the others.
Ichigo Kurosaki and Kugo Ginjo were currently trapped in a dimensional game room in the sky. For the moment, there was no way to determine a winner or loser.
The controller of this game, Yukio, said very helplessly, "I've signed a contract with Kugo Ginjo, so at the moment, even if I wanted to dissolve this game space, the only person who can lift it is Kugo Ginjo himself. Therefore, we can only wait for Ginjo and the others to finish their battle before this can end."
The assembled Shinigami had no choice but to slowly wait for the end of the battle between Kurosaki Ichigo and the others, but they remained confident in Ichigo Kurosaki. They believed that Kurosaki Ichigo would eventually be able to defeat Kugo Ginjo—they just had to wait for him to emerge victorious.
After all, in all his previous battles, Kurosaki Ichigo had proven himself through conflict after conflict to be an incredibly powerful person! As long as it's for his companions, he will definitely be filled with determination. Kurosaki Ichigo is bound to defeat these enemies with unwavering resolve.
[Ukitake Jushiro: Ichigo-kun has never let us down before. I have faith he'll find a way.]
[Kyoraku Shunsui: The boy does have a knack for turning impossible situations around.]
[Hitsugaya Toshiro: Still, this Ginjo seems particularly dangerous. He's absorbed Kurosaki's power.]
Inside the dimensional game room, Kugo Ginjo demonstrated his formidable abilities by creating a mysterious replica of Karakura Town—almost exactly the same as the real town where Kurosaki Ichigo lived, but merely a fake game map constructed from spiritual energy.
"Impressive, isn't it?" Ginjo called out, his voice echoing through the artificial cityscape. "Here, we can fight to our heart's content without worrying about collateral damage!"
His strength was indeed much greater than Kurosaki Ichigo's current level. Because he had absorbed Kurosaki Ichigo's Fullbring power earlier, the combination was greater than the sum of its parts. Coupled with Ginjo's original formidable power, this made him a truly dangerous opponent that Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't easily underestimate.
At this moment, Uryu Ishida had also joined the battle. But even with Ishida's addition, they were clearly in an inferior position and had no way to launch an effective counterattack.
"Kurosaki, we need a strategy!" Uryu called out as they took cover behind a replica building. "His power level is beyond what we initially calculated!"
But before Uryu could finish analyzing the enemy's weaknesses, Ichigo rushed forward again, raising his Zanpakuto high above his head.
"I don't need complicated strategies!" Ichigo shouted. "I'll adapt to all changes with consistency!"
He launched his signature technique: "Getsuga Tensho!"
BOOM!
A massive crescent-shaped blast of spiritual energy erupted from his blade, tearing through the artificial cityscape toward Ginjo.
What surprised Kurosaki Ichigo even more was that Kugo Ginjo countered with the exact same technique!
"Getsuga Tensho!"
RUMBLE!
The collision between the two identical attacks created a massive explosion that shook the entire dimensional space. This was the ultimate clash—imposter versus the genuine article!
[Kurosaki Ichigo: What?! How can he use my technique?!]
[Urahara Kisuke: Fascinating... it seems absorbing your Fullbring gave him access to more than just raw power.]
[Kuchiki Byakuya: A copy will never surpass the original. Show him the difference, Kurosaki Ichigo.]
[Ginjo Kugo: Let's see whose Getsuga Tensho is stronger, substitute Shinigami!]
