Yuta said calmly: "Actually, your strength is already very high, it's just that you don't fully realize it yet."
"If you want to train, first seek out Urahara Kisuke. He will help you awaken Bankai. After that, you should visit the Vizard. They will teach you how to control the Hollow power within your body."
"The Vizard?" Kurosaki Ichigo frowned in confusion. The name alone suggested they shared a common trait.
"Just like you," Yuta continued, "they are all Shinigami who also possess Hollow powers."
Hearing this left Ichigo taken aback. He had thought himself alone in carrying such a burden, but learning there were others like him shocked him deeply.
"However... some among them not only hate Hollows, but also Shinigami."
"Hate... Shinigami?" Ichigo pressed, doubtful and unsettled. But Yuta gave no further explanation.
Without another word, Yuta's form faded as he left the Human World. Inoue Orihime reached out instinctively, wishing to say more, but he was already gone. Her words caught in silence.
On the side, Sado Yasutora spoke quietly: "There will definitely be another chance to see Mr. Yuta again."
Orihime lowered her hand and nodded. "Yeah."
...
Division 12.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was tending to his injuries. His face twisted in frustration as his voice echoed in the research chamber.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"To think that a mere Quincy would dare to act so arrogantly!"
"The next time I see him, I'll capture him and make him one of my test subjects. I'll tear him apart in my experiments."
As those words left his mouth, a Garganta opened nearby. Yuta stepped out, holding a blade cloaked in suffocating darkness within his hand.
"It turned out to be you..." Mayuri hissed. But the thought remained unfinished.
An unseen flash streaked before Mayuri's eyes. Pain erupted in his throat. The research lab spun as his vision tilted-first the ceiling, then the restrained experimental subjects in their containment chambers. A moment later, his head struck the cold metal floor with a resonating thud. His consciousness dissolved, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi understood he was facing the end-a complete death.
Blood flowed steadily. His body was headless, sprawling across the laboratory floor. For an instant, his life of cruelty and experimentation flashed through thought. He had only lived because the Soul Society found him useful. Without that, he would've been condemned long ago as a criminal.
Yuta turned from the corpse and opened another Garganta. He pulled Nemu Kurotsuchi, gravely wounded and near death, into the laboratory.
"Mr. Kurotsuchi..." she whispered faintly, her body broken as Yuta stood before her.
On the ground, her frame trembled. Though designed not for deep emotion, she felt the weight of loss press into her hollowed chest.
Yuta held the abyss-black blade called "Root Remover" and looked at her. His voice was steady. "You may choose to take revenge on me, as long as you can kill me."
The weapon's power took hold, and Mayuri's body began to disintegrate into spiritual particles. The process was absolute, leaving no chance of rebirth-not even in Hell. It was destruction in its purest form.
Yuta didn't linger. Turning away from what remained, he exited the laboratory and stepped back into the void of a Garganta.
Darkness parted. He emerged in Hueco Mundo.
The obsidian blade reflected the pale moonlight that hung over the deserts, casting an eerie glow. His presence alone was silent testimony of death delivered without pity.
Inside one of the grand palaces, Yami stirred. Each Espada possessed their own domain within Hueco Mundo's stronghold. Yami rose in surprise when Yuta approached.
"You are..." Yami began, but his words ended abruptly.
With a single flash of silver light, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi cleaved him in two. Blood sprayed against the stark white walls as the palace itself cracked apart under the crushing wave of spiritual power. The entire structure collapsed in on itself with a low rumble.
The Zanpakutō gleamed beneath the moon, spotless in its reflection. The severed remains and blood upon the stone told the reality of Yuta's strike.
Before the rubble settled, a figure clothed in white arrived. Aizen Sōsuke appeared, his gaze calm as he looked toward Yuta's bloodied path under the moonlight.
"You came to Hueco Mundo today," Aizen said softly, "but not for tea, I assume?"
He offered no concern for Yami's death. His tone was light, controlled, as if speaking in the comfort of his own home while hosting a guest. Yuta stood with both blades-black and white-crossed at his side.
"No need," Yuta replied briefly as he advanced past Aizen. Stepping into another Garganta, his presence was gone from Hueco Mundo in the next instant.
Watching his departure, Aizen's calm expression deepened into mild intrigue. "To open a Garganta purely through thought... Yuta, you've made me very interested in you indeed."
He glanced once at Yami's ruined corpse with detached eyes. "It seems you've made your resolve. This is the side of you I recognize. Let us change this decaying world together. Whatever outcome awaits, I will look forward to that day... Yuta."
He slipped his hands into his pockets, smiling faintly as he turned back toward Las Noches.
...
In a quiet tavern built of aged wood, lantern light flickered with shadows across the walls. Kyoraku Shunsui sat at a low table, the brim of his bamboo hat shading his face while he drank steadily from a sake bowl.
He heard a chair shift beside him as another presence joined his table. The air carried a faint scent of blood and a sharp trace of intent that unsettled the room's atmosphere. Shunsui twitched his nose slightly beneath his hat.
"You carry a strong murderous aura," he murmured. "Looks like you've returned from a kill."
Yuta sat down wordlessly and poured his own drink. He lifted the bowl and spoke between sips. "I killed Kurotsuchi Mayuri."
Shunsui's hand froze just slightly before he steadied his motion again. His bamboo hat nearly slipped forward as he lowered his eyes to the sake. After a pause, he answered in measured tone: "Good kill."
He then added, "Without him, though, the Technology Development Bureau will be lacking a captain."
Yuta set his cup down lightly on the table. "I'll take over the research."
Shunsui lifted his hat enough to show his eyes as he smiled faintly. He raised his drink in one smooth motion and drained it. "If you're saying that, then I can be at ease."
Yuta looked back at him and asked evenly: "Have you ever thought about changing the world together?"
