The Present World, Urahara Shop
"Oh, hohohoho…"
Kisuke Urahara lazily fanned himself with his folding fan, a playful smirk on his face. "Long time no see, Miss Yoruichi. Still as stunning as ever! That bunny girl outfit… didn't we pick it out together during a shopping trip in the city?"
Seeing a familiar face on the screen instantly sparked his enthusiasm.
"Wait a second…"
Isshin Kurosaki scratched his cheek, eyeing Urahara suspiciously. "How did Yoruichi end up with Ichigo and the others? Don't tell me you've had your eye on my son from the start, you sneaky bastard!"
Isshin was well aware of the ironclad bond between Urahara and Yoruichi. Without Urahara's nudging, Yoruichi's personality and temperament made it unlikely she'd approach Ichigo on her own. The thought of his precious son being corrupted by Urahara's schemes darkened Isshin's expression instantly.
"What? You're pinning this on me already?"
Urahara, caught in Isshin's accusing glare, clicked his tongue and spread his hands helplessly. "Mr. Isshin, you're overthinking this! I won't deny Ichigo's unique constitution—his body harbors multiple bloodlines. But I'm not so low as to set my sights on a friend's son with crooked intentions!"
"Hmph, you'd better not! Or I'll tear this shabby shop apart!" Isshin shot him a glare, throwing in a mock threat before finally relenting.
When dealing with an old fox like Urahara, a little intimidation was necessary.
"By the way, compared to before, Miss Yoruichi's presence has grown immensely. She doesn't even need her Zanpakutō anymore?" Urahara squinted, noting the absence of Yoruichi's blade.
"It seems, in the future, Miss Yoruichi's hand-to-hand combat has reached perfection. This must be another path in the Shinigami power system…" Tessai Tsukabishi mused, genuinely impressed.
Beyond Zanpakutō, the Shinigami arts of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, and Kidō were equally vital. Yoruichi had chosen the path of Shunpo and Hakuda, while Tessai had spent centuries mastering Kidō. If Yoruichi succeeded, didn't that mean his own future in Kidō could shine just as brightly?
His eyes burned with anticipation, hoping to see himself make a grand entrance in the footage to come.

Meanwhile, True World City
The battle raged on.
"Shunshin Yoruichi."
"I never expected you to be hiding in True World City. Quite the surprise…" Standing in the center of a purple poison pool, Askin Nakk Le Vaar locked eyes with Yoruichi from afar.
"Heh, since you know my name, you should also know I'm best at stealth and assassination, right?" Yoruichi crossed her arms, exuding confidence.
"That's true, but… how do you plan to deal with this?" Askin raised his thumb, pointing provocatively at the toxic pool beneath his feet.
"Want to find out?"
Yoruichi's arms dropped, her expression sharpening as her gaze turned piercing.
Then—
Boom!
Without any visible movement, a terrifying aura erupted from her like a thunderous pillar of light. Golden radiance flashed violently, and electric sparks crackled through the air. The high concentration of poison in the atmosphere seemed to dissipate in an instant!
"Pure Quincy…"
"I've been annoyed by that lazy attitude of yours for a while now. Get ready to be pummeled like a punching bag!" Yoruichi cracked her knuckles, loosening up before—
Whoosh!
Her figure vanished from the spot!
"Hm? Such speed… it completely evaded my senses!"
Askin's relaxed demeanor froze, his pupils contracting as a fist wreathed in lightning suddenly loomed large in his vision!
"Shunkai: Thunder God Mode!"
With a light shout, Yoruichi intensified her punch. The thunderous fist roared through the air, deafening in its might.
"Oh no…"
Askin's eyes widened in despair. Before he could react, the lightning fist smashed into his forehead!
In the next instant, countless arcs of thunder exploded!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The barrage of lightning tore through the lens, shattering the ground and spreading outward in waves, obliterating Askin's prized poison pool. His figure was instantly engulfed by the pillar of thunder!

Sixth Division Barracks
"So strong!"
"Is this the legendary 'Shunshin'? She lives up to her name!"
Renji Abarai gaped at the blinding white screen caused by the thunderous explosion.
She was a seductive bunny girl one moment, and the next, a terrifying Thunder God Zeus! What a contrast!
"Compared to a hundred years ago, Yoruichi Shihouin has changed a lot. It seems her Shunpo has reached the pinnacle…" Byakuya Kuchiki's icy expression flickered with a complex emotion.
Yoruichi, after all, was one of his mentors, guiding him in his early days as a stoic Shinigami. The Kuchiki and Shihouin families, both noble houses, shared a long history of alliance. Seeing her again stirred something deep within Byakuya.
"Captain, do you think that Pure Quincy is still alive? After that relentless bombardment, he can't possibly be bouncing around, right?" Renji held his breath, eyes glued to the screen, afraid to miss a single moment.
"Visually, Yoruichi's Hakuda techniques are explosive, and she successfully obliterated the poison's spread," Byakuya said gravely. "But don't forget, this round's focus is on that poison-wielding Pure Quincy."
Having watched multiple rounds, Byakuya had picked up on a pattern: the spotlighted character, even if temporarily disadvantaged, always turned the tables in the end. Patience was key—no premature celebrations.
"Fine…" Renji shrugged, muttering, "If even a sexy bunny girl like her gets taken out by a Quincy, I'm giving the video author a bad review!"

Back to the Battlefield
"Miss Yoruichi, thank you…"
"If not for your timely rescue, the three of us would've been lying in that poison pool, slowly succumbing to its effects…" Ichigo's grateful voice rang out.
Moments earlier, during the thunderous explosion, Yoruichi had pulled him out, freeing him from the poison's grip. Though his limbs were still stiff, a little rest would restore him.
"No big deal. Get yourselves together and move out. Bigger challenges await you ahead," Yoruichi said calmly, patting Ichigo's shoulder with a smile.
"Yosh! We're heading out!"
Fueled by her encouragement, Ichigo's spirit reignited. He turned and dashed toward the depths of True World City.
But just as their figures faded from view, a voice emerged from the fading golden storm of lightning.
"Phew… that was close. You almost got me, Shunshin Yoruichi!"
Askin Nakk Le Vaar's voice, unscathed, echoed through the air.
The golden light dissipated, revealing his figure once more. But he looked entirely different. The white uniform of the Wandenreich was gone, replaced by an intricate halo resembling molecular structures and a row of miniature toxic spirit particles floating behind him.
In his Vollständig state, Askin had transformed into a divine envoy, seemingly capable of manipulating all toxins with a mere gesture!
This scene caused an uproar across the audience!

Wandenreich, Silbern
"Forced into Vollständig? How pathetic…"
In a corner, watching himself emerge from the thunderous mist, Askin gave a self-deprecating smile.
His Vollständig, God's Poisonous Sight, was something he loathed. Unless pushed to the brink, he avoided unleashing it.
His actions sparked concern among some Sternritter.
"First Valkyrie, then Liltotto Barro, and now Askin Nakk Le Vaar…"
"All those His Majesty took to the Soul King's Palace are being forced into Vollständig one after another. The situation's looking grim…"
No one could deny Askin's impressive performance—defeating a Vasto Lorde, overwhelming a stronger Ichigo, and now holding his own against Shunshin Yoruichi unscathed. The rankings were unquestionable.
But the Shinigami's counterattacks cast an uncertain shadow over the future. Even the Pure Quincies' confidence wavered.
Of course, radicals like Cang Du, Bazz-B, and Bambietta remained unshaken.
"Askin Nakk Le Vaar, go for it!"
"Use your Vollständig and crush that arrogant woman!"
"To fight us without even using a Zanpakutō—Shunshin Yoruichi's got some nerve!"
"I don't believe she's got more tricks up her sleeve!"
Just then, the screen flickered violently. The video fast-forwarded, jumping to a new phase.
A thunderous roar nearly shattered the screen:
"Shunkai: Thunder Beast Mode!"
"Shunron Black Cat Warrior!"
Amidst roaring golden thunder, Yoruichi's figure emerged once more. Gone was the tight bunny girl outfit, replaced by a golden coat of lightning that clung to her curvaceous form, exuding both allure and power.
Bathed in golden light, Yoruichi stood heroic, her eyes sparking with electricity. Her crouching form in midair resembled a black cat warrior poised to strike!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
The sight was so electrifying that Omaeda nearly fainted, nosebleeding profusely.
Even as his head spun from excitement, he kept muttering, "Video author, please! Can you remove the mosaic and clear away the lightning armor on Lady Yoruichi? I'm begging you, it's urgent!"
