Chapter 639 pits Mayuri against the multiplying Pernida in Volume 70. As the severed fingers spawn fresh copies, Mayuri unleashes a Modified Bankai, a monstrous infant that births a nerve-covered Ashisogi Jizo built from battle data, then sends it to devour Pernida whole.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
Battered and forced to rebuild his own severed arm one-handed, Mayuri faces Pernida's mounting threat as its cut-off pinky swells into a full hand and rushes him. He repels it with an explosive Jinmen Himo, only to find the fragment has become a fresh copy of the enemy, complete with its own eye, ruling out any hope of carrying Pernida home in pieces.
Key Events
Recalling a childhood book that claimed the Soul King's right hand governs stillness and the left governs advancement, Mayuri triggers his Bankai. Instead of his usual poison, his Zanpakuto births a colossal infant, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo: Matai Fukuin Shotai, a modified release that spawns a new Ashisogi Jizo from data gathered mid-battle. The creature it delivers wears its nerves on the outside, and when Pernida's own nerves strike, they can peel away only one of its 70,000 layers at a time. The monster charges in and swallows Pernida and its clones whole.
