"Come, my two students…"
"If you intend to reason with me, then draw your Zanpakutō and earn the right to speak through strength!"
The aged, gravelly voice carried both disappointment in his two century-old captains and the unshakable confidence of the millennium's strongest Shinigami.
As the camera zoomed in on Head Captain Yamamoto, his cloudy, elderly eyes cleared, replaced by a fierce, vibrant intensity. His hunched spine straightened like a steel rod, his towering frame—aged over two thousand years—suddenly radiating an indomitable presence.
"What terrifying aura!"
"The Head Captain's like a human sun! Even his eyebrows are wreathed in flames!"
"This is unreal! Such overwhelming might—truly the strongest Shinigami of the millennium!"
"To anger the Head Captain like this? Only Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake would dare!"
Across the Gotei 13, countless horrified gazes fixed on the old man. His willow-like eyebrows, now ablaze with flames sparked by his boiling spiritual pressure, sent temperatures soaring across the Seireitei and the entire Soul Society by dozens of degrees, even through the transparent screen showing future events.
If Hyōrinmaru, the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō, required swings to manipulate the climate, then the Head Captain could wound the entire Soul Society with a mere thought!
This was the weight of the "millennium's strongest" title!
"Ukitake, what's going on? Why would we enrage the old man in the future? It looks like he's about to draw his blade!" Kyoraku Shunsui, sweating profusely, paced like an ant on a hot pan.
Are you kidding me?
Once Ryūjin Jakka was unleashed, no amount of words could quell it.
People would die!
Ukitake Jūshirō's face flickered with uncertainty, his white hair and pallid complexion flushed red by the fiery light reflected from the video.
Aiding invaders? Threatening the Soul Society's stability?
Me, a sickly old man who barely keeps up with his medication, doing something so rebellious?
Impossible!
He shot Kyoraku a questioning glare. "You're the one who should explain! It's obvious you caused this mess to make the old man so furious!"
"Me? I'm innocent!" Kyoraku wailed, nearly in tears.
Brother, do you think I'm bored enough to deliberately provoke the old man?
Even a newborn Soul Society child wouldn't do something so stupid, let alone a seasoned veteran like him!
If he could, Kyoraku would slap his future self senseless.
Provoking anyone but the old man! Ryūjin Jakka's power isn't something just anyone can withstand!
In the video, the Head Captain's body radiated blinding light, fiery red glows impacting the sky. The air stilled, clouds vanished, leaving only his godlike figure under the Soul Society's blue sky.
His aura surged to a terrifying peak, threatening to shatter the camera lens itself—a clear sign that Ryūjin Jakka was about to be unleashed!
"What a sight… To witness Ryūjin Jakka's release through this ranking video—a rare gift indeed," Gin Ichimaru remarked, his bangs plastered to his forehead with sweat, his foxlike smile brimming with anticipation.
Ryūjin Jakka, the strongest fire-type Zanpakutō, unmatched in power and destruction—Gin couldn't wait to see it unleashed!
"Indeed…" Aizen Sōsuke added. "Even Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jūshirō must feel daunted facing Ryūjin Jakka at full power."
As Aizen spoke, the video erupted in flames, the Head Captain's blazing spiritual pressure surging again. The stagnant air of the Soul Society turned into a roiling sea of fire.
His cane, masquerading as a staff, swelled with heat, as if ready to burst.
A strong instinct told all viewers—something massive was coming!
Sure enough, to maximize his suppression, the Head Captain became a blazing sun. His ancient, stern face uttered the timeless chant:
"All things in the universe… turn to ashes… Ryūjin Jakka!"
The wooden casing of his cane exploded like rusted iron, revealing the true Ryūjin Jakka as he drew it, as if unsheathing an actual sun!
The moment he gripped the blade, scorching flames spiraled along its edge, wrapping his Shinigami robes and captain's haori in a fiery dance. Red solar flares encircled him, instantly evaporating the moisture from countless viewers' bodies, their blood feeling as if it were burning dry!
"This is too terrifying!"
Behind the Head Captain rose dozens of towering, majestic fire pillars, fueled by the spreading blaze.
Ordinary Shinigami couldn't withstand it; even captain-level Shinigami like Aizen and Unohana Retsu could barely stay composed. Others had their hair ignited or collapsed from dehydration. Those who endured huddled together, pooling their spiritual pressure to resist the relentless heat blasting from the screen.
And this was merely through a screen, across time and space!
Imagine the hellish ordeal Kyoraku and Ukitake faced in that moment, trapped in a fiery abyss!
"Kyoraku, Ukitake…"
"It's been years since Ryūjin Jakka was last unleashed!"
In its Shikai state, the Head Captain was wreathed in boundless flames, his emotions turning colder. "It's been so long that you seem to have forgotten… and dared to challenge me!"
Gripping his fiery blade, he swung lightly.
BOOM!
The air exploded like billions of nuclear bombs. The ranking video's feed briefly cut out from the sheer force.
When it restored, the Soul Society's landscape was stripped of greenery, reduced to charred earth and exposed, scorched rocks.
All things touched by its flames turn to ashes…
This was Ryūjin Jakka's power!
