Main Characters (5)
Summary
As Byakuya and the controlled Hisagi clash over and over, PePe insists that no fight is ever waged over justice, only over love in its many shapes, from family and friends to faith and possessions. Byakuya cuts the sermon short by ramming his hilt into Hisagi's stomach, then reasons that owning people means nothing if the puppeteer can be struck down to release them. PePe theatrically praises and cowers before him, loosing a heart-shaped blast that the captain outruns and slices apart, remarking aloud that the power cannot seize anything without a soul.
That observation backfires when Byakuya's own blade twists toward his head, forcing him to take the cut on his free hand instead. PePe reveals he knows swords carry souls of their own, which is why he never bothered seizing a bankai back in that opening raid, since any blade is his for the taking whenever he pleases. Byakuya flings his weapon into a wall, but Hisagi wrenches it loose and presses a two-sword flurry, driving the captain back across the rooftops as he guards barehanded and privately weighs whether spellcraft would only kill his ally.
When a strike to Byakuya's shoulder fails to bend him toward obedience, PePe refuses to forgive the missing devotion and triggers his complete form, Gudoero. Shedding his glasses and clothes for a thong, winged and haloed like a cherub, he plants several binding ropes in the captain's shoulder and orders Hisagi to hold so he can claim the kill himself, drawing a bow and arrow from his own throat. Before he can fire, the reanimated Kensei Muguruma kicks him across the battlefield, and Byakuya, spinning around, finds Kensei alongside Rojuro Otoribashi risen as corpses streaked with black markings.
Key Events
Byakuya deduces that felling PePe would free everyone under his control. PePe reveals he can steal any Zanpakuto at will and turns Byakuya's own blade against him through Hisagi. His angelic release Gudoero and its love ropes still fail to break the captain, and the arrival of the zombified Kensei and Rose interrupts the finishing shot.
