Bleach Broadcast : Ichigo Has Four Dads?!

After witnessing the majestic combined assault of the Shinigami, the audience eagerly anticipated this technique's power.

Suì-Fēng's Bankai, in terms of destructiveness and shock value, ranked among the finest of Shinigami attacks!

Soon, after the smoke cleared, cracks appeared in Hachigen Ushōda's barrier!

Baraggan broke through again, exuding decaying aura, and attacked Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda from a distance.

Swish!

Suì-Fēng couldn't dodge in time, and her shoes were already stained with the decay!

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and threw her shoes away just in time, remaining safe.

Baraggan quickly emerged from the barrier.

Except for the left side of his face being blown off, his injuries weren't serious.

After being wounded by Suì-Fēng and Ushōda, the arrogant Baraggan became furious and attacked Suì-Fēng, Ōmaeda, and Ushōda.

Suì-Fēng and Ōmaeda fled in embarrassment.

Hachigen Ushōda was forced out of his Hollow mask state and used Kidō barriers to resist.

But he still couldn't withstand Baraggan's death aura—his right hand was directly hit.

If he continued trying to survive without severing his arm, he'd probably be completely finished!

...

Witnessing Baraggan's overwhelming force, many viewers were amazed.

[Baraggan Louisenbairn]: As expected, even with so many against me, nothing happened! You're lucky to have embarrassed me this much! I'll wipe you all out next!

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Hmph, my Bankai can freeze everything, including elements. I don't believe I can't handle you!

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Why make it so complicated? I can just slice through all that decay with my sword.

[Baraggan Louisenbairn]: Hmph, Kenpachi Zaraki, others may fear you, but I don't! I can even control death itself. Compared to me, imagination and resurrection giants are nothing!

[Kyōraku Shunsui]: It seems Espada strength can't be ignored. I really want to see how the Quincy will handle these Hollows.

[Lille Barro]: Hmph, no need for such clumsy provocation. If these Shinigami are too weak and lose, and we get a chance to deal with these Arrancar, we can easily kill them instantly.

["V" Gremmy Thoumeaux]: Hmph, what's scary about such death breath? But I could try your technique next time! The death breath I imagine could definitely become as vast as an ocean of death!

Of course, since the power of Shinigami like Suì-Fēng wasn't so exaggerated at this point, although Baraggan's oppressive presence was strong, it wasn't entirely convincing.

Though the audience feared Baraggan, they wouldn't be completely intimidated from fighting.

...

Though Hachigen Ushōda's right hand had been corroded by Baraggan's deadly ability, he didn't panic. Instead, he quietly hid it behind his back, continuing his work with unshakable composure.

Then, he spoke with quiet confidence.

"Baraggan... your ability ages and decays everything it touches. Yet your own skeletal body remains unaffected. Why is that?"

Baraggan narrowed his eyes, the shadows of doubt flickering across his face.

"There can be only one answer," Hachigen continued. "You've cloaked yourself in your own power, shielding your body from the effects of time."

He paused, raising his left hand as Kidō energy shimmered around him.

"In that case… if the attack comes from within, not even you can withstand it."

Baraggan's eyes widened—but it was too late.

In an instant, Hachigen used spatial Kidō to teleport his rotting right hand inside Baraggan's body.

A burst of black, deathly energy erupted from within the Espada. The aura of aging — Respira — turned on its master.

"Ngh—AHHHHHH!!!"

Baraggan screamed in rage and agony as his own power devoured him from the inside out. His skeletal form cracked and crumbled, disintegrating into ash, carried off by the wind of his own demise.

Even the self-proclaimed God-King of Hueco Mundo… could not escape death.

...

Seeing this scene unfold, viewers across all worlds were left in stunned silence.

Wait… what?

Just like that?

The terrifying Espada who radiated death itself… was taken out by his own ability? In mere seconds?

The absurdity was overwhelming.

Some couldn't help but burst out laughing. Was that it? That was Baraggan's grand exit?

All that buildup, all that overwhelming pressure… only to be undone by the very power he flaunted?

Talk about ironic.

A "sloppy" operation, maybe… but somehow, it was the perfect end for a tyrant who thought himself untouchable.

[Hachigen Ushōda]: Hehe, looks like our Visored will be credited with a great achievement this time! Do you have the nerve to call yourself King of Hueco Mundo?

[Suì-Fēng]: I didn't expect that in the end, it was the Visored who played the crucial role and dealt the fatal blow to the so called King of Hueco Mundo.

[Baraggan Louisenbairn]: Ahhh!! How is this possible? I absolutely don't believe this projection. This must be deliberate slander against me. Did Aizen use Kyōka Suigetsu on me again?

[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Shut up, Baraggan, and don't disrespect Aizen-sama!

[Nnoitra Gilga]: Do you still have the nerve to say you're Number 2? Let me take your place!

[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: With such a pathetic record, how dare you rank above me? I'll be the first to challenge you.

[Ulquiorra Cifer]: Enough, all of you be quiet. This isn't the time to quarrel. Aizen-sama ranked you, so don't be so dissatisfied.

At this moment, Baraggan remained indignant.

As King of Hueco Mundo, defeated by an unknown Shinigami.

And so carelessly!

This was truly humiliating!

The extremely arrogant Baraggan couldn't accept it!

[Hirako Shinji]: Oh, Hachigen, you did excellently! Very good—you've made our Visored famous! This is the beginning of our revenge against Aizen!

[Hachigen Ushōda]: After all, I'm also the former Kidō Corps Vice-Captain, so dealing with an Espada is no problem.

[Gerard Valkyrie]: Hehe, quite clever, but it's nothing to handle a weak Arrancar. It seems there aren't many particularly strong Arrancar so far—they're far inferior to us Quincy!

[Urahara Kisuke]: Not bad at all. In terms of intelligence, he can still compare with me.

[Suì-Fēng]: Urahara Kisuke! Stop talking! I haven't settled my score with you yet.

[Urahara Kisuke]: Hey now, I'm a victim too, okay? If you've got guts, go settle scores with Aizen.

[Yoruichi Shihōin]: Suì-Fēng, don't blame Kisuke—he had no choice.

[Suì-Fēng]: Ah, Yoruichi, are you taking his side too?

This triangular relationship of two women and one man began flirting in the chat group.

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Alright, enough—can't you be more mature? In this battle, Baraggan's fatal weakness was exposed, which will be important reference for dealing with him in the future.

[Unohana Retsu]: Yes, his death aura is quite frightening. If hit, my Kaidō healing won't be able to treat you in time. We must use wisdom to solve this.

[Byakuya Kuchiki]: That's easily solved. My Kidō abilities are also very strong. I'm fully capable of handling him.

[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Uh, I don't seem to know any of this stuff. I definitely can't face such an opponent.

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Does it really have to be so complicated? Can't I just cut him in half with one strike?

[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Captain Zaraki, you're indeed not suited to handle such strange opponents. It'd be better to let others do it.

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: Fine, then I'll fight the strongest of the Espada!

Meanwhile, the Quincy also began interrupting.

[Gerard Valkyrie]: Is this the strength of the so-called Number 2 Arrancar? Truly vulnerable. It seems we really don't need to take Hueco Mundo too seriously.

["J" Quilge Opie]: Tch, then this Aizen, as their leader, is probably just mediocre. I could probably kill him easily.

[Lille Barro]: Quilge's strength might be a bit lacking, but I should still be able to easily defeat Sōsuke Aizen, right?

[Sōsuke Aizen]: Oh, I look forward to your performance. I hope you Quincy can truly reach this level. If so, I'll have a chance to better test my strength.

[Ulquiorra Cifer]: You ignorant fools! Baraggan was just defeated by the Shinigami through luck—it's nothing. You haven't seen our other Arrancar's strength yet!

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: But honestly, it seems when we Shinigami deal with Arrancar, it's not as difficult as dealing with Quincy.

[Byakuya Kuchiki]: Well, the scenes fighting Quincy are more shocking.

[Matsumoto Rangiku]: Indeed, comparing carefully, our Captain Hitsugaya is obviously strongest when fighting Quincy—that's the first time we see his complete Bankai form. This Harribel is totally unworthy of witnessing it.

[Tier Harribel]: Why so proud? Want to fight now? I believe in the following videos, we Arrancar will definitely achieve final victory. Whether through our strength or Aizen-sama's leadership, we'll let you taste defeat!

[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Kenpachi Zaraki also used his Shikai and even strongest Bankai only when fighting Quincy. Fighting the Number 5 Arrancar seemed quite simple.

At this point, the Shinigami had regained confidence in battles against Arrancar!

Arrancar were nothing to worry about!

The only concern might be the Quincy!

Of course, many Arrancar at this time were just talking tough.

After witnessing Number 7 Zommari, Number 5 Nnoitra, Number 3 Harribel, and Number 2 Baraggan's poor performances, Arrancar morale was very low.

Compared to Quincy who always made Shinigami suffer, their Arrancar were indeed somewhat weak...

At this moment, after watching so many videos, Sōsuke Aizen had to admit that Shinigami performance was strongest when fighting Quincy.

Before they fought the Quincy, would his own Arrancar army become their stepping stones?

However, Aizen wasn't frustrated internally.

After all, he'd been somewhat disappointed with these Arrancar.

After using the Hōgyoku to create these Arrancar, he already knew their strength.

He also knew that in battles with Shinigami, these Arrancar's strength wasn't particularly outstanding.

Besides, even if these Shinigami seemed to grow stronger later, it didn't mean his plan would fail.

Maybe later... he'd have a chance to break into the Soul King Palace!

And make these Shinigami his subordinates!

Perhaps when Shinigami fought Quincy, they weren't only protecting their Soul Society, but also protecting Aizen's Soul Society.

Perhaps in the battle with Quincy, his leadership ultimately won.

In the end, he defeated Yhwach.

With this thought, Aizen was in relatively good spirits.

His face remained calm and composed—he was still the confident king!

He should wait patiently for the next video!

Additionally, these Arrancar were indeed not very good works, so he still looked forward to Ichigo Kurosaki being better.

This was his most perfect creation, right?

...

When all parties were either happy or sorrowful, a familiar voice arrived.

[DING!]

[Since everyone is very curious about Hollow strength at this time...]

[Next, we'll play a famous scene related to Hollows!!]

Hearing this, Ulquiorra and other Arrancar were very pleased.

[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: Great! Can we finally get more screen time?

[Ulquiorra Cifer]: The first few Arrancar were fine, but I don't believe we lack any highlight-worthy famous scenes.

[Tier Harribel]: In the future, your Soul Society may already be under our Aizen-sama's rule. Maybe we Arrancar will have to help you fight Quincy and other enemies.

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Haha, what are you thinking? Don't be so delusional. We Shinigami won't go along with you.

[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: Aizen must be eliminated by us. He betrayed Soul Society and must be punished.

While everyone argued, the Three Realms Projection's voice returned.

[DING!]

[Next, please watch the battle scene of Starrk, the Primera Espada! Please look forward to it!]

Hearing this, all Arrancar were excited!

The appearance of this recognized strongest Espada would definitely save the Espada's reputation!

...

New scenes began appearing on screen.

Suì-Fēng and the other Shinigami each found their respective opponents—but Kyōraku Shunsui made his choice without hesitation.

Among the Espada, one spiritual pressure stood out like a towering wave—calm yet overwhelming.

Coyote Starrk.

Recognizing this, Kyōraku, a captain long considered a potential successor to the Captain-Commander, stepped forward. He knew full well the responsibility that came with such strength.

If a fight was inevitable, then he would face the strongest.

On the surface, both men seemed ill-suited for such a clash. Kyōraku with his straw hat and lazy smile, and Starrk with his heavy-lidded eyes and casual stance.

Two lethargic giants, bound by duty on opposite sides of the battlefield.

One fought for Soul Society.

The other… followed Aizen's command, despite no desire for war.

As they exchanged a few words, the battle began—not with a roar, but with the quiet steel of two men who understood the weight of their power.

Kyōraku started the fight using only one sword, no Shikai, no real urgency in his movements. He slashed lazily with his right hand… then switched to his left, casually testing the waters.

To any observer, it looked less like a battle and more like two old men stretching before a duel.

Starrk, watching quietly, soon commented on the odd rhythm.

"Your swing's shorter on the left," he noted. "You're slacking, aren't you?"

Kyōraku chuckled. "Can't blame a guy for trying to conserve energy. It's going to be a long day."

Yet despite the banter, both sides were sizing each other up.

Then, Starrk revealed the "1" tattoo on his hand—the unmistakable mark of the Primera Espada.

Kyōraku's playful grin faded slightly. He knew now he couldn't afford to hold back.

Without another word, Starrk raised his hand—and the battle escalated.

Cero blasts rained toward Kyōraku, forcing him to leap into action, his body weaving between beams of destruction.

Meanwhile, Jūshirō Ukitake, ever the calm observer, sat cross-legged on the battlefield's edge, watching his old friend with a faint smile.

Amused, he even struck up a casual chat with Starrk's Fracción, Lilynette.

Two wars waged side by side—one with blades and Cero, the other with words and wit.

...

Faced with this seemingly half-hearted duel between two top-tier powerhouses, comment sections across the worlds lit up instantly:

Damn, two slackers fighting—this battle must be very boring.

That's it? That's it? You have the nerve to say you're future captain-commander material?

Don't be blind—this is a duel between masters; you can't understand it.

Amateurs watch the excitement, experts see the technique! As long as one person on either side reveals a flaw, they'll soon suffer fatal attacks from the other.

This is the highest realm of employees!

People like Aizen aren't worthy of being leaders at all—they can't mobilize employee enthusiasm. Uncle Wolf says slacking is the kingly way.

Right. Anyway, both sides already have nearly the highest titles. No matter how hard they try, they can't get the boss position. Why be so desperate?

Besides, both sides' leaders are standing by watching—why should subordinates fight so hard?

Kyōraku Shunsui: I've waited thousands of years but can't wait for old man Yamamoto to die. No hope of promotion, so just lie flat.

Kyōraku lies flat and becomes second-generation captain.

Damn, thanks to the masters for their teachings—I finally get it!

At this moment, comments were getting more and more outrageous...

...

In the chat group, everyone continued talking.

[Kyōraku Shunsui]: No way? No way? You guys don't really think I'm letting him win, do you?

[Ichigo Kurosaki]: You guys really look like you're doing elderly square dancing...

[Ukitake Jūshirō]: Ahem, actually this battle is still full of mysteries. The calmer the battle, the more turbulent the undercurrents. Both sides are testing each other. If they don't move, it's fine—if they move, it's earth-shattering!

[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Wait, besides those joke comments, some information seems worth our attention. What's this "second-generation captain"?

[Suì-Fēng]: This is just nonsense, right?

[Urahara Kisuke]: But as we know, although comments can be frivolous and even exaggerated, they're still useful for reference.

[Ichimaru Gin]: You're embarrassed to say it, so let me: it means Captain Yamamoto will likely be replaced by Kyōraku Shunsui in the future.

Ichimaru Gin's words caused huge waves!
