Bleach Broadcast : Ichigo Has Four Dads?!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Two-Handed Attack is Better Than One-Handed? Are You Insulting My Intelligence?



After learning that Kenpachi Zaraki hadn't used his Bankai yet, Nnoitra's eyes bulged out in disbelief. He gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept such a massive gap existed between himself and Kenpachi Zaraki.

Hmph! He refused to believe it.

He had nearly crippled Kenpachi Zaraki - surely that would force him to use his Bankai?

Even if he was instantly killed by Kenpachi's Bankai afterward, at least he would have no regrets!

...

In the Wandenreich, the Quincy were also discussing what technique Kenpachi Zaraki would employ next.

"Although we haven't answered the question yet, I'm genuinely curious about Kenpachi Zaraki's abilities."

"I don't think I've ever seen him use any actual techniques?"

"His attacks are purely physical slashing."

"I was worried that his tattered sword might actually break..."

"By the way, he doesn't seem to have achieved Shikai yet... will he use it now?"

"Having said that, his current strength doesn't seem to match a top-tier combatant. He struggled this much against Aizen's Fifth Espada and sustained injuries."

"I think I could defeat him without even using Vollständig."

If they weren't afraid of questioning Yhwach's judgment, some Quincy would have asked whether this "special war potential" designation was a mistake.

Hearing so many self-satisfied remarks, Lille Barro interrupted:

"Don't forget that Kenpachi Zaraki has yet to release his Zanpakutō, so his true strength remains unfathomable. Of course, I don't believe his slash could penetrate my The X-Axis..."

His words sobered many of the overconfident Quincy.

Kenpachi Zaraki hadn't released his Zanpakutō yet!

This was unprecedented!

If that was the case, estimating his true strength was impossible!

With this realization, everyone felt secretly alarmed!

So what technique would Kenpachi Zaraki use next?

Would he finally release his Zanpakutō? At minimum achieve Shikai, surely?

At this moment, several Quincy were eager to answer the question.

If not for lacking Yhwach's permission, they would have revealed their existence long ago.

After all, the rewards from the Three Realms Projection were genuinely tempting.

...

In Soul Society, countless Captains looked at Kenpachi Zaraki with questioning expressions.

"Captain Zaraki, do you have any hidden techniques you haven't used yet?"

"Surely you won't be defeated by such an Arrancar?"

Zaraki Kenpachi scratched his head and pondered seriously.

After considerable thought, he suddenly realized:

"Oh yeah, I still have some kendo skills I haven't used yet."

Kuchiki Byakuya appeared somewhat surprised:

"You... actually know... techniques?"

Zaraki Kenpachi said nonchalantly:

"Well, I kinda understand them, but unless it's an emergency, I might not remember to use them."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni said calmly:

"Zaraki Kenpachi, I taught you extensive kendo in the past... Although you showed little interest in learning, what techniques do you still remember? Answer quickly. I suspect only you can answer this question correctly."

Hearing this, Zaraki Kenpachi responded:

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: I'll answer... Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I should... use the technique of holding my sword with both hands.

[Ichimaru Gin]: Uh, and then what?

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Ichimaru Gin, are you brain-dead? I'm holding the sword with both hands - what more do you want? Can't you see I've always held my sword with one hand? Isn't it obvious that two-handed grip is stronger than one-handed?

[Ichimaru Gin]: Eh? Captain Zaraki is actually questioning my intelligence?

[Yachiru Kusajishi]: Ken-chan is very smart! You definitely couldn't think of such a move.

[Nnoitra Gilga]: Are you mocking me? Are you questioning MY intelligence? What kind of technique is this? How is this different from your earlier nonsense about chopping off extra hands?

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: You have a hole in your head, so don't worry about others questioning your intelligence!

[Nnoitra Gilga]: Hmph! If that's the logic, then I have six hands, each wielding a weapon - wouldn't that instantly kill all you Shinigami? I'd rather answer that Kenpachi Zaraki can only match me by releasing his Zanpakutō!

At this moment, the Three Realms Projection quickly judged the respondents' answers:

[DING!!]

[Now judging the correctness of all answers...]

[Nnoitra's answer "Release his Zanpakutō" was incorrect... punishment is as follows!]

[The number of arms after Resurrección will be reduced by half!]

[Kenpachi Zaraki answered correctly and receives 1 point!]

[Nnoitra Gilga]: What?! I just said a few extra words and it counts as an answer... And it's really the two-handed grip answer? I refuse to accept this!

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Stop being so stubborn. I used a technique I didn't even use against Ichigo Kurosaki. Be honored that this move can defeat you!

[Ichimaru Gin]: It seems Captain Zaraki was right to question my intelligence!?

Those who had just mocked Kenpachi Zaraki's answer were now looking at their own hands and weapons... falling into stunned silence!

Who could have predicted that Kenpachi Zaraki would actually use two-handed sword grip as his ultimate technique?

Was this really his ultimate move?

Why couldn't they do it!?

They had truly failed in their studies...

Meanwhile, Nnoitra was extremely frustrated.

After Resurrección, he could have up to 6 arms.

Now it was only half - meaning just 3?

Not only was his strength greatly diminished, but it looked incredibly awkward!

Having only one extra arm looked terrible no matter where it was positioned!

...

Soon, while everyone was complaining, the corresponding scene appeared on screen again.

Realizing he was dangerously low on stamina and couldn't afford to waste more time, Kenpachi Zaraki prepared to end his battle with Nnoitra swiftly!

He decided to use his kendo.

Nnoitra was bewildered upon hearing this.

Kenpachi Zaraki had been fighting this entire time without using kendo?

What a joke!

Afterward, Kenpachi Zaraki employed the kendo techniques taught to him by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto:

"Two-handed slashing is much stronger than one-handed slashing!"

This seemingly obvious truth made Nnoitra want to rant furiously.

Wasn't this just common sense?

Then, Zaraki Kenpachi gripped his sword with both hands and began launching serious attacks.

This was Zaraki Kenpachi's advanced technique beyond one-handed strikes - the two-handed slash!

BOOM!!

The tremendous spiritual pressure transformed into massive impact force, surging toward Nnoitra like a tidal wave!

One strike to decide the victor!

Nnoitra couldn't withstand such an attack at all. He stared wide-eyed at this unstoppable blow and was completely defeated!!

Kenpachi Zaraki's two-handed swordsmanship was indeed no mere reputation!

...

In response, the comment army attacked again:

'Kenpachi really can't get serious unless he's low on health!'

'His throat was nearly severed before he realized he needed to be serious.'

'That's right - when I, Kenpachi, get serious, I hold my sword with both hands!'

'Nnoitra can be said to have won with honor since he made Kenpachi use the two-handed technique he didn't even use against Ichigo!'

'Nnoitra: I have six hands holding weapons, so why am I weaker than Kenpachi?'

'Captain Yamamoto: Back then, I taught Kenpachi kendo for an entire day!'

'The bald guy next door expresses approval: Isn't this just serious punching and serious sword fighting?'

...

In the scene, after being struck by Kenpachi Zaraki's two-handed swordsmanship, Nnoitra struggled to rise before succumbing to his wounds.

It was as if he was possessed by an unyielding spirit!

He begged Kenpachi Zaraki to strike him once more.

He advocated strength and despised weakness - he absolutely could not tolerate charity from the strong!

This was an insult to his very being!

Nnoitra had always fought with mad intensity, disdaining the existence of the weak. After encountering the powerful enemy Kenpachi Zaraki and being defeated, he would rather die than continue living.

Hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki said...

He had never heard such a request in his life!

Wasn't asking others to finish you off supposed to be his own signature move of giving up?

But Nnoitra insisted on his conviction, and Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to understand his inner desire.

That was to die at the hands of a true warrior, thus completing the death he desired!

Kenpachi Zaraki, respecting his opponent's resolve, swung his final strike and ended Nnoitra's life!

...

After this, the screen temporarily went dark.

Witnessing this classic scene - a battle without elaborate techniques - countless viewers were amazed:

[Kyōraku Shunsui]: As expected, Captain Zaraki is truly formidable. None of us Captains would casually engage him in combat.

[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Is Kenpachi Zaraki this powerful at his peak? It seems he wasn't using his full strength when fighting me.

Ichigo Kurosaki was shocked at this realization.

He felt incredibly fortunate to be alive. He even wondered - could he have truly survived in Soul Society and rescued Rukia if it wasn't for Aizen's deliberate arrangements?
