Mazuru was very curious about Tokinada's Zanpakuto.
Through the previous conversation with Tokinada, he already knew that this sword is not Tokinada's own Zanpakuto, but it seems to be a sword passed down from generation to generation by the Tsunayashiro family.
These great nobles, as beings at the top of the Soul Society, each family has some background.
Even the declining Shiba family should not be underestimated.
Mazuru lifted his Bankai and the earth and sky gradually returned to normal. He walked to the side of Tokinada's body and grabbed Tokinada's Zanpakuto with a quick grab.
"It looks like a normal Asauchi."
All Asauchis are actually not very different. Only after knowing Zanpakuto's real name and liberating Zanpakuto, shinigami can customize the appearance of his Zanpakuto's sealed state.
Head-Captain Yamamoto turned it into a walking cane, and Gin's became a short sword.
Holding this Zanpakuto passed down from generation to generation by the Tsunayashiro family in one hand, Mazuru holds his own Zanpakuto in the other.
He did not go to give first aid to Kaname lying on the ground on the other side, who was seriously injured and dying, but entered his own Zanpakuto space (inner world) first.
In the Zanpakuto space, the woman in red stood quietly on the river. It seems that because of the use of Bankai just now, the river has become much shallower.
"Help me pull out Tsunayashiro Tokinada's soul, I want to know something from him."
Mazuru looked at the woman in red and said straight to the point.
(T.L Note: Don't know why the author despite having the mc unlock bankai is calling the zanpakuto spirit as "woman in red" instead of a name)
Generally speaking, except that the spirit sons of hollows and shinigamis that killed by the quincy and are completely annihilated, after the death of most hollows or shinigamis, the spirit sons will return to the reincarnation cycle. But there is a saying that the Third Class or above reishi can't return to the reincarnation cycle no matter what, but these powerful reishi also can't be allowed to float in Soul Society forever, so there is a "soul funeral ceremony". The soul returns to the earth, but the earth here does not refer to the Soul Society's earth, but...hell.
It should be noted that great power requires a price, and because of the pursuit of strength, the place where the soul should return is lost, so after death, the final redemption is the 'gentleness' of falling into hell.
But Mazuru's Zanpakuto is a bit special. Before his Zanpakuto awakened, Mazuru can use the Asauchi he picked up to devour hollows' spiritual power, and after awakening Zanpakuto, this ability to devour spiritual power become stronger.
The soul is made up of spirit particles, and he devours the enemy's spirit particles, which can also forcibly intercept the enemy's soul that should have fallen into hell.
In the past, because Mazuru only devoured a part of spirit seeds, only a small part of the souls were retained.
But Tokinada is different, he died under Mazuru's Bankai, inside his Chikai no Senjō, so his soul, everything about him, was swallowed by the sea of blood, so to speak, except for his body everything else was detained by Mazuru.
The woman in red didn't say anything nonsense, she raised her hand plainly, the river below her body shook slightly, a vortex suddenly appeared, and an extremely weak figure quietly emerged from the vortex.
(T.L Note: Should I continue to refer the zanpakuto spirit as "woman in red" or should I refer to her by her name "Chi no Kawa"?)
It's Tokinada!
However, after seeing Tokinada's appearance, Mazuru was taken aback again.
"How did he become like this?"
Because the Tokinada in front of him is not complete, his body is incomplete, and his soul is full of gaps, as if he was bitten by hollows.
The woman in red explained, "He made himself like this."
Mazuru frowned slightly, a little puzzled. Now he didn't know if he could get any information from the soul of Tokinada, after all his soul was now full of holes and incomplete.
Mazuru waved his hand, strands of river water emerged, and then turned into blood lines, piercing through Tokinada's incomplete soul, and then Mazuru began to read his memory.
After mastering Bankai, even though the woman in red was very upset, Mazuru did have some authority over this space.
Because of the severe incompleteness of the soul, the information Mazuru obtained from Tokinada's soul is also somewhat incomplete, but he still knows a lot of secrets.
The first secret is that the fact that Tokinada's soul is so incomplete is really his own fault.
In other words, it was because of that Zanpakuto.
"Enrakyōten."
"Can imitate any Zanpakuto's ability he has ever seen. Although it can only imitate Shikai's abilities, but it is already strong enough."
"The strength of the imitation depends on the reiatsu of the holder. If the reiatsu of the holder is strong enough, the imitated ability can even surpass the real one. The price for using this Zanpakuto is to consume one's own soul."
"And the consumed soul cannot be recovered."
Since Tokinada got this Zanpakuto, Mazuru is not very clear about how many times he has imitated other Zanpakuto's abilities, but he knows that Tokinada is a lunatic.
Is it possible for a sane person to use this Zanpakuto forcibly without caring about the loss of one's own soul? Isn't it just a certified lunatic!
"But having said that, this Zanpakuto seems to be very useful if it is used properly."
Mazuru thought to herself.
That's right, he was going to keep this Zanpakuto and not hand it over.
Because the ability of this Zanpakuto is really strong.
Besides, there is another reason.
That is, few people even in the Tsunayashiro family know the existence of this sword.
Because the former head of the family was afraid of the power of this Zanpakuto, he kept it sealed. Even Tokinada, by chance, knew that the Tsunayashiro family had hidden such a Zanpakuto.
Right now, the Tsunayashiro family is all dead and so no one knows the existence of this Zanpakuto.
Maybe someone in the group of nobles in Central 46 knew about it, but when Tokinada slaughtered the Tsunayashiro family and defected from the Soul Society, no one knew that he took this sword with him as he never used it in front of other people.
Since there is no definite proof that Tokinada took this Zanapkuto, Mazuru embezzled it as a trophy will also be known by none.
Besides, another piece of information that really shocked Mazuru was the truth about Spirit King.
As mentioned earlier, Mazuru only watched the anime version of Bleach before traveling, and only watched the finale of the manga "Thousand Year Bloody War", knowing that the final villain is an uncle named "Yhwach". (He also came to know some spoilers by the media and reading the ending)
And after traveling to this world, even if he became a captain, he still doesn't know much about the secret of the Spirit King. He even doesn't know where the Zero Division is hiding, but in the memories of Tokinada, he saw a glimpse of the truth of this world.
