At this critical moment, Ichigo Kurosaki found himself trapped in an extremely passive and dangerous situation during his training session.
[Fortunately, after receiving a timely reminder from Yasutora Sado, Ichigo suddenly remembered that he possessed the Substitute Shinigami Badge—his most precious token and connection to his Shinigami powers.
"That's it!" he realized with growing excitement, quickly retrieving the badge from his pocket and beginning to explore how to transform it into a proper carrier for Fullbring technique.
Sado continued offering guidance and encouragement throughout the process.
"After obtaining this token, you need to recall things intimately related to it," Sado explained patiently. "You must remember your most glorious past experiences and victories."
"Only then can you properly awaken the soul residing within this badge and complete the transformation you're seeking."
Following this advice, Ichigo quickly began reviewing all the enemies he had defeated throughout his journey as a Substitute Shinigami. Thinking of his victories over Hollows, Arrancar, and even his triumph against Aizen filled him with tremendous pride and determination.
Almost immediately, his Substitute Shinigami Badge began glowing with wonderful black and red energy. The light was genuinely dazzling, and the badge seemed to radiate extraordinary spiritual power.
The proxy certificate transformed into something resembling a swastika symbol—remarkably similar to the handle of his beloved Tensa Zangetsu.
After grasping this new weapon, Ichigo discovered that he could indeed attack effectively once again.
BOOM!
Through some experimentation and exploration, he quickly adapted to this new ability and found that he could continue using it to perform his signature technique—Getsuga Tensho.
With this wonderful new weapon at his disposal, he finally succeeded in defeating the pig monster, thus completing this crucial phase of his training.
His most classic and reliable skill had always been Getsuga Tensho, so he absolutely needed to find a way to release his spiritual pressure in recognizable form.
With the assistance of this transformed Substitute Shinigami Badge, he could once again release his spiritual pressure effectively!
By relying on absolute spiritual pressure alone, he could easily defeat enemies just as he had before.
After this successful demonstration, Ginjo Kugo expressed considerable satisfaction with Ichigo's training progress.
Since intensive training required tremendous physical stamina and mental focus, Ginjo decided to allow Ichigo to conclude his training session for the day, with plans to continue their work during their next meeting.]
After witnessing this remarkable scene, the audience felt genuinely surprised and enlightened. They had possessed very limited knowledge about the so-called Fullbring abilities, so this demonstration was truly eye-opening for everyone involved.
Through Ichigo Kurosaki's series of actions and discoveries, they gradually gained better understanding of this mysterious organization and their unique capabilities.
[Hitsugaya Toshiro]: I never anticipated this development! Ichigo Kurosaki is using his Substitute Shinigami Badge to achieve his training goals and power restoration...
[Sui-Feng]: I see now. So that's precisely how he recovered his Shinigami abilities!
[Shihouin Yoruichi]: We've finally determined what happened during this crucial period. It appears that these XCUTION members should indeed be able to help him succeed in his goals.
[Rukia Kuchiki]: Yes, isn't this the same girl who helped Ichigo create a dimensional box so he could reach the Soul King Palace again? It seems he became acquainted with her during this training period.
[Urahara Kisuke]: Their mysterious power is genuinely useful and versatile. They even possess the capability to help Ichigo reach the Soul King Palace again. They're quite accomplished individuals.
[Byakuya Kuchiki]: It appears that in this world, besides Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy, there exist other mysterious power systems we hadn't fully recognized!
[Ichimaru Gin]: Indeed, it seems that mastery of Fullbring technique represents one of the important factors contributing to Ichigo Kurosaki's extraordinary strength!
[Aizen Sosuke]: Well, this development is certainly quite interesting and unexpected!
The audience continued watching subsequent scenes with mounting curiosity, eager to witness the complete process of Ichigo Kurosaki recovering his Shinigami powers.
Simultaneously, back in Soul Society, the Shinigami found their emotions extremely difficult to describe. If they had to rely on these external members to help Ichigo recover his abilities, it really seemed as though the Shinigami themselves were merely playing supporting roles once again!
This feeling is genuinely uncomfortable and frustrating!
In previous major battles, the Shinigami had consistently found themselves depending on external combatants for crucial support—individuals like Urahara Kisuke, Aizen, Shiba Isshin, and others who operated outside official Soul Society structures.
Now they were witnessing yet another instance of relying on outside power to assist Ichigo Kurosaki, which made them feel deeply inadequate and marginalized!
Don't the Shinigami have any opportunities to take center stage and prove their worth?
[Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni]: This dependence on external forces is... troubling. We must find ways to strengthen our own capabilities.
[Kyoraku Shunsui]: Sometimes help comes from unexpected sources. Perhaps we should be grateful rather than prideful.
[Mayuri Kurotsuchi]: Interesting. These Fullbringers possess technology and abilities that even I hadn't fully comprehended. This warrants further study.
[Unohana Retsu]: Ichigo's adaptability continues to impress me. He finds strength in the most unlikely circumstances.
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: I don't care where his power comes from—I just want to fight him when he's at full strength!
