You held up better than I thought. I see that your place in the Department of Research & Development isn't just for show.
Well, this is a nice opportunity. I'll inspect you carefully when it's time to dispose of you later.
Rejoice, for today you will bear witness to the precious moment that a soul is reunited with its lifeless body!
What is this?
What did you do?! Is this your doing, Mayuri Kurotsuchi?!
*Gasp*
This Spiritual Pressure feels like it's from the one who killed Nnoitora and Yammy.
Rejoice, for I will allow you all to live just a little longer! Besides, I do not intend to engage in battle with that beast of a man in my current state.
2. After the battle
15 linesSo, the one who broke the wall of the storage space was Captain Zaraki...
That buffoon! Wasn't he on his way to the gate with Squad 11?!
I bet he was lost when he saw the explosion and decided to come here. He's not great at detecting Spiritual Pressure, remember?
I heard that if a clash doesn't involve Bankai, he can't even tell there's a fight going on. I have my doubts that he can even see Spirit Ribbons.
What good is a beast if it doesn't even have the ability to hunt for its prey?!
Whatever, forget about that useless barbarian. We need to talk about the Arrancar that disappeared.
The way it disappeared was the same as the female Arrancar that appeared in Karakura Town, was it not?
It does seem that way if we compare it with the footage taken by the surveillance bugs in Karakura Town.
I see. How interesting.
I'd love to capture and dissect the subject to see if it's a technology the Hollows developed or if it's the ability of a specific Hollow that appeared unpredictably.
Anyway, what was with that guy who looked exactly the same as our specimen?
Your notes did say something about a technique that could resurrect someone using another body, but does that have anything to do with this?
For now, no. Not unless we find evidence that says otherwise.
However, there are things we can infer from the research records left by that specimen and what we know about that female Arrancar.
Though, I'm hoping that my inferences turn out to be incorrect.
