Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: A Memory Without an Owner

Crystal-clear wings of ice unfolded from Tōshirō Hitsugaya’s back.

Behind Sajin Komamura, a towering black-armored warrior—dozens of meters tall—materialized with a thunderous presence.

As the two activated their Bankai, the entire Lieutenant’s office began to tremble violently. The once elegant and refined room was instantly reduced to ruins by the overwhelming force they unleashed.

Realizing the threat posed by Aizen, both of them went all out, displaying their full power without reservation.

"Lieutenant, we’re going in!"

Komamura shouted boldly.

Even in the face of such a powerful enemy, his voice rang with determination and courage—just like a true 7th Division Captain.

Aizen watched them silently, his expression distant and dismissive, as if everything playing out before him was just an elaborate joke.

He didn’t spare Shinji Hirako a single glance.

He knew all too well that despite Hirako’s seemingly desperate release of Reiatsu, he wouldn’t recklessly resort to using his Bankai.

As long as Hitsugaya and Komamura were still alive, Shinji would never dare use that ability—because he’d likely end up being struck down by his own allies first.

Aizen understood perfectly.

Shinji Hirako’s Bankai was extremely unique. Once released, it indiscriminately inverted the perception of "enemy" and "ally" for everyone caught within its range.

Even he himself couldn’t control who was affected.

Because of that, Hirako’s Bankai only reached its full potential in a one-versus-many scenario. In the current situation, it would do more harm than good.

Without a second thought, Aizen casually swung Kyōka Suigetsu—cleanly severing Shinji Hirako’s head from his body.

Hitsugaya and Komamura were both horrified. Shock and rage flashed across their faces as they roared in unison and charged straight at Aizen.

They each unleashed their strongest attacks.

The ice dragon and the black-armored giant hurtled toward Aizen with overwhelming force.

But Aizen simply gave a small smirk.

He gently shook his head, as if the devastating attacks coming his way were beneath his notice—completely devoid of threat.

He looked at the two and calmly incanted:

"Hadō #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō."

"Hadō #90: Kurohitsugi."

Two ultra-high-level Hadō spells erupted one after another, cast by Aizen as effortlessly as breathing.

A blinding beam of lightning tore through space, instantly shattering both the ice dragon and the black giant.

Immediately after, a massive black coffin of spiritual energy erupted from the ground, rising with a menacing presence.

As their vision darkened, both Hitsugaya and Komamura sensed impending doom—but it was already too late to escape.

Moments later, the black coffin faded, revealing two battered, crumpled bodies inside.

Thud!

Their bodies hit the ground with a heavy crash.

Aizen stood calmly, a faint smile on his lips—gentle as always, yet laced with an unmistakable chill.

He narrowed his eyes, pulled a skull-marked token from his waist, and spoke softly into the glowing screen.

"Masatsuki..."

...

World of the Living, Karakura Town.

As the Reiatsu around them faded, the Shinigami girl’s Zanpakutō had already transformed—no longer a blade, but a staff with four golden rings and a sharp, arrow-shaped blade at its end. The entire weapon, save for the blade, glowed with a brilliant golden light. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
