"Two-handed swordsmanship!"
"One-Slash Style: Iai Slash!"
Kenpachi's expression was solemn, his hands gripping the hilt tightly as he swung down with force.
Boom!
A massive golden reiatsu pillar erupted, swirling the surrounding sand with whale-swallowing momentum, surging into the sky. Clouds shattered, the ground quaked, and the white desert seemed on the verge of collapse—all from the mere initiation of his two-handed strike.

Las Noches
Gulp.
The palace fell silent again. The Arrancar were stunned by the golden light nearly spilling from the screen.
"Such terrifying reiatsu!"
They hadn't expected a simple two-handed grip to unleash such power.
"Swordsmanship? Nonsense! Why don't I get that effect?" Grimmjow's expression froze, his hands trembling. As the Espada most reliant on his Zanpakuto, he often fought single-handedly, switching to two hands only in desperation. But his two-handed slashes never multiplied in power like this.
"The gap's too wide. Nnoitra's doomed," Harribel said, her green eyes reflecting the collapsing desert.
The other Vasto Lordes—Starrk, Baraggan, and Ulquiorra—were equally shocked. This was just a regular slash, yet Kenpachi's reiatsu was unimaginable.
Grimmjow sneered at Nnoitra, "Still want to argue, Nnoitra?"
Nnoitra trembled, his face darkening with rage and humiliation.
As the golden reiatsu dispersed the clouds, it engulfed Nnoitra's figure like a cascading waterfall.
Boom!
The screen shook, the golden light tearing through the ground, ending the scene with vivid realism.

First Division
"Hmm… two-handed swordsmanship. That takes me back," Yamamoto said, leaning on his cane, a glint of satisfaction in his aged eyes. He recalled training Kenpachi in the sword dojo.
The anger over the Quincy's exposure eased slightly.
"Total Captain, it shows your keen eye for talent," Chojiro Sasakibe said, seizing the chance to flatter. "I noticed the Espada he defeated bore the number '5.' The Espada hierarchy is becoming clearer."
As the First Division's vice-captain, Chojiro meticulously recorded details, noting Yammy (10), Zommari (7), Nnoitra (5), and Harribel (3). Their abilities and traits were now documented.
"Indeed," Yamamoto nodded calmly. "Except for the third Espada's decent water manipulation, the others pose no threat."
Though arrogant, his words reflected his confidence as the strongest Shinigami in a millennium.
"Chojiro, I'm more concerned about the Sternritter and Kenpachi's battle with the visionary. Did he survive?"

The screen flickered back to life, replaying the cataclysmic winds, molten lava, and freezing chill from the previous ranking.
The scene sent shockwaves through the Shinigami world.

Eleventh Division
"Huh? Why does this feel familiar?" Ikkaku scratched his bald head, confused.
"Idiot! It's the same battle!" Yumichika rolled his eyes.
The realization hit: this was Kenpachi's ranking, meaning he survived Gremmy's meteor!
"Exactly! Kenpachi's about to turn the tables!" Ikkaku shouted, eyes blazing with excitement.
"Thank goodness! Kenpachi's alive!" Yachiru cheered, spinning in joy.
The next frame confirmed it: Kenpachi, shouldering his Zanpakuto, gazed at the sky with wild confidence.
"Disaster, huh? I'll slice that fake thing apart with one swing!"
