Chapter 337

"Hahaha! I can see! I can see!"

In his Resurrección state, Tosen let out a twisted, maniacal laugh, his gaze sweeping across the Seireitei, which had completely devolved into a purgatory.

"This is the sky!"

"This is blood!"

"And... this is you! Komamura!"

Finally, Tosen Kaname turned his gaze toward Sajin Komamura, who was in his Humanization Technique state, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer filled with mockery.

"You are... even uglier than I imagined."

Facing the mockery of his old friend, there was no anger on Sajin Komamura's face; in the depths of his eyes, there was even a trace of pity.

He then secretly tightened his grip on his blade.

At this moment, the only thing he could do was grant the other man release.

Tosen Kaname, in his Resurrección state, erupted with terrifying power, but he immediately noticed that the giant before him was completely different from the Black Rope Heaven Condemnation King he had known when he was still Captain of the 9th Division.

No matter what kind of attack he launched.

He could not wound it in the slightest!

"Black Rope Heaven Condemnation King is a Bankai of armor infused with life; Dangai Joue strips away that armor, leaving only a form of Spiritual Pressure and power."

Sajin Komamura shouted:

"No matter how much power you have obtained from Aizen, you cannot defeat him!"

Black Rope Heaven Condemnation King: Dangai Joue!

After barely managing to take flight by flapping his fly-like double wings, Tosen Kaname turned his head and unleashed a verdant sonic shockwave at Sajin Komamura.

Nine-Phase Wheel Kill!!!

"Your Bankai is linked to your own body, so what if I attack you directly—ugh!?"

Before Tosen Kaname could finish his sentence, he saw Sajin Komamura allow his attack to land directly on his own body.

After a massive explosion, the Shinigami robes on Sajin Komamura's body were blown away.

Revealing a sturdy chest, and... a blood-filled hole in his left chest!

"That is!?"

Even in his Resurrección state, with most of his face covered by that creepy fly mask.

One could still hear from Tosen Kaname's tone just how astonished he was at this moment.

"The man I am now is nothing more than a vessel meant to defeat you."

At this moment, the plot briefly cut to a flashback.

Sajin Komamura, still in his werewolf form, returned to the Beast Clan territory and found his grandfather, sacrificing his own heart as the price.

To learn the secret technique: Humanization.

The man he was now was nothing more than a walking corpse!

The next moment, instinctively controlling Black Rope Heaven Condemnation King: Dangai Joue, he prepared to deliver the final blow.

Yet, at the very last moment, he held back his strength.

"I suppose... I still couldn't bring myself to kill you after all..."

Ultimately, due to his severe injuries, Tosen Kaname was forced to revert from his Resurrección state back to his daily form.

Reverting to human form, Tosen Kaname collapsed to the ground, barely opening his eyes to see two familiar figures reflected in his vision.

"Komamura... Hisagi..."

"Don't speak anymore; it is only by relying on the Hollow's regenerative power that he has barely managed to hold onto his life... cough, cough!"

Speaking to the end, Sajin Komamura could not help but cough violently.

Having sacrificed his heart, his own life was like a candle in the wind after experiencing this battle.

"Komamura, I..."

Tosen Kaname stopped mid-sentence, yet Sajin Komamura had already spoken again:

"Perhaps it is only until this moment, with blades drawn against each other, that we have finally managed to understand each other from the heart."

Tosen Kaname widened his eyes in astonishment.

Sajin Komamura spoke earnestly, continuing slowly:

"I will not ask you to abandon your hatred, nor will I ask you to abandon your revenge, but do not lose yourself for the sake of revenge."

"Just as you lost your dearest friend, losing you will also leave a hole in my heart."

Saying this, Sajin Komamura raised his hand and pressed it against his own chest, where a large hole had been torn open.

Tears streamed down Tosen Kaname's face, his voice choked with emotion as he said:

"Thank you... Kom... amura..."

At the very end of his life, this man found peace.

Just as Xu Feng had previously deleted the plot where Aizen wounded Tier Halibel.

After thinking about it, Xu Feng also cut the plot where Aizen tampered with Tosen Kaname's Hollowfication, as it affected his prestige.

After all, in the original work, Tosen Kaname's state at this time was already like a candle in the wind.

There was simply no need to play that hand.

It would only add a stain to the image of this perfect BOSS.

"Rest in peace... Tosen."

Sajin Komamura lowered his head and placed his old friend's remains in a corner of the Seireitei.

At the very, very end, the two of them finally reconciled.

However, just at this moment, that face which had originally been human suddenly sprouted fur, rapidly returning to his original appearance.

"Can I... only maintain it for this long?"

Looking at his hands and feet, which had grown fur once again, Sajin Komamura gritted his teeth and looked toward Aizen's position at the top of the 1st Division barracks, whispering to himself with unwillingness:

"Still, not yet, I cannot die yet... I, I still have to go and defeat Aizen!"

Sajin Komamura used all his strength to try and stand up again.

But he stumbled and fell to the ground.

As his body gradually reverted to its beast form, his life was also rapidly slipping away.
