"Tekken: Ikkotsu!"
Bang!
The immense power within Yamamoto was channeled entirely into Yhwach, sending him flying!
Even Yhwach was caught off guard by this blow.
After all, who would expect someone to suddenly abandon swordsmanship and throw a punch?
But Yhwach quickly regained his composure after being sent flying!
Then, turning back to look at Yamamoto, Yhwach revealed a sinister smile.
"Almost there." Yhwach said.
"Almost there?" Hearing Yhwach's words, Yamamoto was puzzled.
"Almost there for what?" Yamamoto asked.
"Why, the collection of your data is almost complete, of course!" Looking at Yamamoto, Yhwach's smile turned eerie.
"Hmm?" Yamamoto frowned.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Then, deciding to ignore Yhwach, feeling he had been acting strangely all day,
Yamamoto decided to simply kill him!
"Zanka no Tachi..." Yamamoto prepared to unleash the technique that had cut down two at once!
But at that moment, the arena containing them shook violently.
"Hmm?" Yamamoto felt a pulling sensation!
The next second!
"Give it here!" Yhwach raised his hand and pulled.
In an instant, the entire world took on the shape of a Star Cross!
Then, an intense suction force targeted Yamamoto!
He was shocked to find that his Zanpakuto, his Bankai, was gradually disappearing from his grasp!
Finally, it condensed into a circular medallion in Yhwach's hand!
Looking at that medallion, Yamamoto remembered what Sora had told them: the enemy could steal Bankai!
But he hadn't expected it to happen like this!
And there was another problem...
He was already using the Bankai! How could it be stolen?
Looking at Yhwach, Yamamoto's expression darkened, his earlier confidence gone.
After all, Bankai was too important to a Shinigami, accounting for seventy to eighty percent of their strength.
Having that much strength taken away, anyone would panic. It was normal.
But hadn't they taken precautions against this?
"How did you do it?" Yamamoto looked at Yhwach.
"Heh, it's simple!" Yhwach smiled. "You thought mixing Hollow's Reiatsu into your own would prevent us from stealing Bankai?"
"I must admit, it's a valid approach. I'll give you that."
"But the problem is, mere Hollow's Reiatsu is a problem for ordinary Quincies. Is it a problem for me?"
"I didn't steal your Bankai earlier simply because I didn't understand it."
"But now, within this large-scale analytical formula, everything is within my grasp!"
"And this formula also enhances my absorption!" Yhwach smiled. "Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, your defeat was inevitable."
"Now, let me slay you decrepit old men!"
Gripping his blade, Yhwach approached.
"Bankai... Zanka no Tachi!!"
Yhwach used Yamamoto's Bankai.
But then, Yhwach suddenly noticed that Yamamoto showed no sign of panic!
'What is going on? His Bankai had been stolen. Why wasn't he panicking? What gave him the confidence?'
But soon, he understood!
Because just as Yhwach activated the Bankai, the feeling of Bankai, the surge of Reiatsu, vanished!
"Hmm?" Yhwach looked on in shock.
His shock was beyond words!
Because Yhwach could clearly perceive that his Medallion was useless!
"Surprised?" Looking at Yhwach, Sora spoke.
"It's you!!?" Turning his head, looking at Sora, Yhwach understood.
"Yes, it was me!" Sora nodded. "Your Quincy abilities are too broken, really. You could just kill the Captain-Commander as you pleased, and your abilities were like rules that could be turned on and off at will."
"So I decided to fix this. I want to make this world more reasonable!"
"From today onwards, the Bankai stealing technique is defunct. No one is to research it further!"
"Do you understand?" Sora looked at Yhwach!
"Damn you!" Hearing Sora's words, Yhwach gritted his teeth in hatred!
Now that Sora stood before him, many things Yhwach hadn't understood became clear.
