A few hours earlier...

Mayuri

So what's it like? How does it feel to travel to the past?

I introduced a certain drug into the bodily fluids of the Arrancars. I'm sure you wouldn't have enjoyed being sprayed with their blood quite as much if you had known.

Kensei

Hyargh... Gyack...

Mayuri

Now, now, no need to get excited. I shall ease your pain shortly.

Kensei

Hyaaaarrgh!

Mayuri

The amount of blood needed to turn someone into a zombie depends on their Spiritual Pressure.

If their Spiritual Pressure is low, a single drop of blood reaching their brain will likely be enough to zombify them.

But, if their Spiritual Pressure is high, the injected blood must first multiply itself in their heart before traveling to the rest of the body.

And that's why the captains and lieutenants have that dark red tinge to their skin. Am I wrong?

My drug alters the composition of their blood.

Giselle

Huh?

Mayuri

I have in my possession the blood samples of every squad member in the Seireitei.

This drug replaces any foreign blood with a blood-like substitute. which I also invented.

Giselle

I didn't understand a single word you just said.

Mayuri

I'm not surprised. Let me cut to the chase, then.

By injecting this drug, I've made it so that your zombies have become my zombies.

Now you understand, don't you? You lose, zombie girl.
