Turn the True Power On

As Shawlong and Yylfordt ask what Gentei Kaijo even is, they are already reeling from their opponents' pressure, Shawlong's right forearm blasted off and frozen at the stump, Yylfordt's left horn burned down at the tip. Emerging from the swirling energy, Hitsugaya, Renji, and Rangiku explain that captains and lieutenants entering the Human World must wear a Gentei Reiin to keep from harming or altering ordinary people, a seal that throttles their power by as much as eighty percent. Lifting it, they note, effectively multiplies their strength fivefold.

Renji drives Hihio Zabimaru at Yylfordt, who fails to stop it and loses his left arm at the shoulder. Rangiku blocks Nakeem's punch with a forearm and mocks his slowness; when he flashes behind her with Sonido and names the move, she reappears at his back with Shunpo, names her own, and cuts down through his side. She then releases her Shikai, Haineko, Hitsugaya readies Ryusenka, and Renji charges Hikotsu Taiho. A panicked Shawlong orders a retreat, but Hitsugaya refuses to let them run, spearing his throat and raising a huge cross of ice that bursts apart, while Rangiku slashes Nakeem through both sides and Renji burns Yylfordt away with a beam of energy.
