Back then, Kuchiki Koga cast Bankai, but still was defeated by Mazuru.
Although that incident does not necessarily prove that Mazuru has the combat power of the captain level, it may also be that Kuchiki Koga's Zanpakuto was restrained by Mazuru's Zanpakuto.
Captain Yamamoto also learned some information about Kuchiki Koga's Zanpakuto from Kuchiki Ginrei.
After Bankai, Koga suffered the backlash of an unknown force and lost directly before even showing the true power of his Zanpakuto, which seemed really incredible.
Since then, Mazuru has also entered the eyes of the head-captain.
It was just because there was no vacancy for the captain of the Gotei 13 at that time, even if the captain of the Twelfth Division Hikifune Kiryu was promoted, he quickly found someone to fill the vacancy.
Mazuru was only remembered by him after that.
In Captain Yamamoto's life, he has seen strong men and geniuses like crucian carp crossing the river. Even if Mazuru has the strength of the captain level, he is not worthy of his attention.
Until this time Seireitei encountered unprecedented changes.
Out of thirteen captains, six at the same time left.
Mazuru, the spare tire, was only remembered by Captain Yamamoto at this time.
Facts have proved that his vision is not bad, and Mazuru is worthy of his attention.
Captain Yamamoto looked at Shunsui who was opposite Mazuru again, "If you slack too much, you will suffer a lot."
When Shunsui dodged Mazuru's slash earlier, he seemed to be serious.
But Captain Yamamoto, as Shunsui's teacher, still saw that Shunsui was only half-serious, not completely serious.
After all, Shunsui is used to being lazy. Even if he wants to fight the enemy seriously, it is not so easy to do it because of the habits he has developed in the past.
Just like now, after half-liberating Zanpakuto, Mazuru's speed seems to be much faster.
Crimson light flashes.
Shunsui managed to dodge, but a corner of the hat on his head had broken and fell off.
"It's so dangerous."
Shunsui sighed, "Such a dangerous Zanpakuto, brother Mazuru even regarded it as the Zanpakuto of the medical department, and was preparing to enter the Fourth Division, is it really alright?"
Mazuru smiled lightly, "Captain Shunsui seems to have misunderstood, this is not my Zanpakuto's ability."
"I'm simply fast..."
The sound came out, and he was slashed by him again. Shunsui was prepared, but Mazuru still slashed across his clothes with the sword. A corner of the robe was also damaged.
The head-captain, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, just wanted to say that the damage was good. He found the flowered robe on Shunsui not pleasing to his eyes a long time ago.
"Is it your raw speed?"
Shunsui murmured Mazuru's words in his heart, and felt the eyes of several people around him. Although Mazuru still hadn't shown Zanpakuto's true ability, he felt that if he continued like this, he would lose face.
Anyway, he's an old senior.
"When the Flower Wind Rages, the Flower God Roars, When the Wind of Heaven Rages, the God of the Underworld Sneers! Katen Kyōkotsu!"
The sealed state was liberated, and a sword appeared on each of Shunsui's hands. This is his Zanpakuto, Katen Kyōkotsu, which is known as the only pairs of Zanpakuto with 'Sōgyo no Kotowari' in Jūshirō Ukitake's hand!
With the liberation of Katen Kyōkotsu, Shunsui's reiatsu also surged instantly.
Before Mazuru slashed at him again, Shunsui's speed increased suddenly, he avoided Mazuru's slash in an instant, and then jumped up, reaching the sky above Mazuru.
"Brother Mazuru, pay attention, this is my first move, Takaoni (Mountain Demon)! The taller one wins!" Because he is not the enemy, Shunsui politely introduced his ability to Mazuru before launching the attack. After that, the two swords in his hand were suddenly slashed down.
*Boom!!*
With the falling of the sword, the blue reiatsu slash suddenly swept towards Mazuru. It seemed that because Shunsui was standing higher than Mazuru, the slash was so powerful that it reached Mazuru in an instant.
Mazuru was not surprised by Shunsui's move.
Not to mention that Shunsui introduced the rules of the game, but in the original book, Shunsui also revealed the related abilities of Zanpakuto.
*Boom!!*
The ground split, but it was not from Shunsui's slash, but from under Mazuru's feet. As the ground split under Mazuru's feet, an afterimage appeared on his body instantly.
Shunsui's attack tore through the afterimage and landed in the void.
At the same time, Mazuru came to Shunsui's side almost at the same time, obviously making the shot later.
Zanpakuto was swung out by him, and the crimson light flashed again.
Shunsui's pupils contracted slightly, looking a little surprised.
He had lamented that Mazuru's Shunpo was very fast before, but he never thought that Mazuru could be even faster.
Although it is not a good thing for a man to be fast, but in a battle, being faster makes it easier to take the lead.
In a hurry, Shunsui could only dodge with all his strength.
However, the bamboo hat that Mazuru had chopped off by one corner was completely cut into two halves.
Jushiro Ukitake, Kuchiki Ginrei and others watching the battle nearby were also a little shocked.
I thought that after Shunsui liberated Zanpakuto, he would become more serious, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
Also, that speed is not weak compared to Shihouin Yoruichi who is called "Flash Goddess".
Although Yoruichi defected from the Soul Society along with Urahara Kisuke, no one ever questioned her strength.
Shunsui looked at his broken hat and felt lucky. Fortunately, it was not a life-and-death battle. If Mazuru was the enemy, during the battle, he suddenly showed such a speed. Even if he did not die, he would be injured.
"However, being forced into such a mess by a junior, it seems like I can't keep my face as a senior."
Shunsui thought, swiping the two swords in his hand.
"Bushōgoma (Lazy Spinning Top)!"
Shunsui spun around, and a mighty storm blew up from its surroundings, sweeping towards the surroundings. Mazuru, who was close to Shunsui, encountered this gust of wind. However, Shunsui had already flashed in front of him, and Zanpakuto swung down like wind in his hand.
Just when Shunsui's Zanpakuto was about to slash on Mazuru.
A crimson shield appeared in front of Mazuru, blocking Shunsui's Zanpakuto's first round of attack, and then the thin line of swords followed suit, and overlapping crimson slashes emerged, counteracting the gust of wind.
At the same time, crimson threads appeared around Shunsui's body, restricting his figure.
"This is my Zanpakuto ability."
Mazuru looked at Shunsui, as if responding to his previous words.
