8-5...

Captain Aizen...

No, that's wrong. After what I've witnessed, it wouldn't be right to call you "Captain" any longer. Sosuke Aizen, your title is "high traitor."

Well hello, Captain Unohana.

I have to admit that your arrival is not completely unexpected.

I knew you'd figure out that I was staying here.

It was the only explanation. Seijoto Kyorin had been declared totally off limits to everyone.

You needed to hide away in complete isolation after you staged your own death with that exquisitely designed corpse doll.

And what better place in all the Seireitei for you to go completely undetected? That was your plan at least, wasn't it?

Not quite. Some of that is true, but you did make two mistakes.

Let me clear things up for you. First of all, I have no need to hide from anyone. That's not what I came here for.

And secondly...

What you're looking at here is not a corpse doll.

But... When did he...?

When did I what? I've been standing here holding it the whole time.

It's been right in front of you. You simply weren't able to see it. That's because I didn't allow you to see it until just now.

Wh-What do you mean?

You'll soon understand. Hehe. I'm going to release my Zanpakuto.

Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!

Huh!

This is my Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu. It's ability is complete hypnosis.

Impossible! It couldn't change! Kyoka Suigetsu has always been a running-water-type Zanpakuto. It uses the diffused reflection of mist to confuse enemies into attacking each other.

We saw it with our own eyes - you specifically gathered all the lieutenants together because you wanted to demonstrate it!

I see now. Your demonstration was actually the hypnosis ritual.

You're catching on quickly.

Complete hypnosis controls all five senses and is able to cause every dimension of a target, including its form, shape, mass, feel, and smell, even its vocal patterns and the way it tastes, to perfectly replicate that of an enemy.

And all I need to do to activate it is simply show my enemies my Zanpakuto's complete hypnosis release.

The power of my Zanpakuto is limited only by my mind, because whoever lays their eyes on it, even once,

will be hypnotized into doing my bidding whenever I release my Kyoka Suigetsu.

Even once? But...

I see you've figured it out.

Very good. You see, whoever lays their eyes on it falls under my spell, so unfortunately, those who can't see will never be under my power.

In other words, Kaname Tosen was always my subordinate.

Huh?!

I want to commend you, Unohana.

That you felt even a bit of suspicion while under the influence of my hypnotic spell, I find most remarkable. I congratulate you...

And bid you farewell. I don't think I'll ever see any of you again.
