Yamamoto takes the beast Ayon for himself. Shrugging off the monster's roars and swollen fist, the Captain-Commander splits it clean in two and reduces the still-thrashing remnant to ash with a single blaze.
Summary
Kira apologizes for dragging the Captain-Commander into the fight, but Yamamoto brushes it off and tells him to keep his eyes on the enemy. Ayon pounds at the wound torn through its chest and lets loose a tremendous roar. When Kira marvels that the blow failed to kill it, Yamamoto simply observes that the creature needs further punishment.
Key Events
Ayon bellows again as its right arm swells to enormous size and swings down at Yamamoto, but he reappears at the beast's shoulder and notes that the strike missed. Drawing his Zanpakutō, he cleaves Ayon straight down the middle. Its surviving left half springs up for one last attack, and Yamamoto annihilates it entirely in a towering burst of flame.
