Did her short blade truly not have one? Or... was there more to it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the middle of a battlefield like this, Kyūjō had the luxury of letting his mind wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the five Captains broke through the swirling storm of cherry blossom blades and launched themselves skyward, charging directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Tachibana Kyūjō raise his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a brand-new Zanpakutō materialized in his hand—yet the Senbonzakura Kageyoshi formation around him didn't fade at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Urahara Kisuke saw the long blade now resting in Kyūjō's grip, his brows furrowed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute... wasn't that his own Zanpakutō?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yes—his instinct was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft whisper escaped Kyūjō's lips, \"Bankai—Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, a towering woman appeared behind him, styled in traditional Japanese hair and wearing a sleeveless kimono. Her joints were like those of a puppet, her presence overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Urahara's original Benihime, Kyūjō's version was noticeably larger—more intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urahara's eyes bulged like bronze bells. The scientist within him couldn't contain the curiosity that now burned uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the chaos around him, Urahara immediately called out, \"Kyūjō! What even is your Bankai?! Can you copy every Bankai like that? And... there's no limit?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō replied casually, without the slightest attempt to conceal anything. \"Yeah, pretty much. As long as your Bankai hasn't been pushed to its ultimate form, I can copy it. Unless, of course, I push mine just as far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for how many I can use... that depends on my spiritual pressure. Right now? I can handle five at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urahara's eyes gleamed like a child discovering a new toy. \"Sugoi!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ukitake Jūshirō: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyōraku Shunsui: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoruichi Shihōin, silently: Thank goodness I never learned Bankai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Chōjirō Sasakibe screamed internally, Seriously?!

I'm dying holding this thing back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Kyūjō calmly duplicated three more Bankai:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū – Kyōraku Shunsui's elegant and deadly illusion-based Bankai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sōryū no Ryūka – Ukitake Jūshirō's dual-bladed elemental release, now in Bankai form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kinshara Butōdan – Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi's golden whip of sound, brought to life with overwhelming flair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone except Yoruichi now found themselves facing their own powers turned against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Kyūjō no longer had a weapon in hand, Yoruichi—the undisputed queen of Shunpo—smirked and flashed forward like a streak of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to end this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō was unarmed. What could he possibly do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal base was right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, the others—especially the exhausted Sasakibe still barely holding against the blizzard of sakura blades—watched with desperate hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, they prayed: Go, Yoruichi... finish it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yoruichi's short blade sliced toward his side, Kyūjō sidestepped with ease, still wearing that relaxed smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he whispered softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nijimidasu kondaku no monshō. Fusonnaru kyōki no utsuwa. Waki agari, hitei shi, shibire, matataki, nemuri o samatageru...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the chant for a Kidō spell—Hadō No. 90: Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoruichi's chest tightened. She surged forward, faster than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to stop him before he finished the incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn't, there was no doubt—all six of them would fall in one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... reality wasn't always so kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite pouring every ounce of her speed into that single dash, she couldn't land a single hit on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hakōsuru tetsu no ōjo. Taezu jikaisuru doro no ningyō. Ketsugōseyo, hanpatsuseyo. Chi ni michi onore no muryoku o shire!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hadō No. 90: Black Coffin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final word rang out, Yoruichi simply froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't run. She didn't fight it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just stood there, letting the darkness enclose her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Kyūjō wouldn't kill them—not yet—but the frustration boiled inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has everything they said about me... the title \"Goddess of Flash\"... all been just Seireitei propaganda?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resonant clang echoed across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sound echoed deep into Sasakibe's chest... and crushed what little hope he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he feared, they were all going to lose to a single man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin of shadows sealed Yoruichi inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kyūjō stopped the destructive effect from activating. He'd used the spell only for containment—not to injure her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he could've cast Black Coffin without even reciting the chant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did so on purpose—to avoid harming her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he wanted to, he could've cast something even more dangerous—like Hadō No. 99: Goryūtenmetsu—without a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such was the nature of his Limitless Overload state. It amplified his Kidō to unnatural levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, a Shinigami needed time, formulas, and precise chants to execute Kidō properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kyūjō?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a walking supercomputer, capable of launching any spell flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If most Kidō users were like children with abacuses, and geniuses like Aizen were calculators...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Kyūjō had become an artificial intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just with Kidō alone, he could've defeated them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sealing Yoruichi away, Kyūjō didn't attack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there—calm, commanding—controlling five powerful Bankai simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the Captains began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to collapse was Chōjirō Sasakibe—the right hand of Commander Yamamoto himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Bankai, Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū, shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasakibe dropped to his knees, face pale, his spiritual pressure completely drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Kyūjō raised a hand—and the endless storm of sakura blades swept back toward the remaining Captains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi fell as well, defeated in less than a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only three remained—each now forced to face an extra Bankai on top of their own struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urahara Kisuke and Ukitake Jūshirō followed shortly after, their Zanpakutō—Benihime and Sōryū no Ryūka—utterly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one Captain remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyōraku Shunsui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain of Squad 8.
