Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 238, Section 236: Completely outmatched.
"Shuichi-kun, he is"

Inside the villa by the beach, using the surveillance bacteria that Higashino Shuichi had gotten for free from Kurotsuchi Mayuri, he saw Kabuto Sayaka, who resembled Hisamitsu Ente, introducing herself to Higashino Shuichi, who then responded.

"Yes, I know, he was the first captain of the Ninth Division."

"Another first captain? Shuichi, that shouldn't be the case. Didn't you say that these first captains were being kept hidden as trump cards?"

The escape of the rebellious Cai Zang before could be explained as an accident, but what about the other two?

Matsumoto Rangiku immediately thought of another first captain, Saizo Goku, who had previously broken into the Dankai and been defeated by Higashino Shuichi.

Most of the original captains had already perished in that battle. The only ones who could appear in the world now in this form were likely artifacts of spirits, like the rebellious Saizo.

"Two of them, so it definitely wasn't an accident, it was intentional."

"I have a headache," said Higashino Shuichi.

So he's really not suited for this kind of mental work. How can he possibly be like Aizen, taking all the unexpected events into account?
Higashino Shuichi now feels that from the very beginning of his plan until now, not a single step has gone smoothly according to his original vision.

Various problems will always arise along the way, but this time the problem seems to be more serious.

"You mean that Masato Miyazaki deliberately let these first captains over one by one in an attempt to disrupt the Soul Society's arrangements?"

Kabuto Sayaka asked Higashino Shuichi.

Shuichi Higashino shook his head.

"If that's the case, then it would be the best outcome, but I suspect the real answer isn't that."

Higashino Shuichi recalled Miyazaki Sakai Masato's unusual behavior, such as deliberately approaching Kisaragi Shusuke's group, and how he decisively followed Higashino Shuichi's Quincy clone, Kabuto Takuya, whom he had only met for less than half a day, setting off that very day to come to Higashino's side.
What Higashino Shuichi saw at the time as actions caused by Miyazaki Sakai Masato’s arrogance could now be interpreted as a completely different version.

A version where Masato Miyazaki is stripped of his power.

Those spirit remains that possess the power of the first captains and can carry the souls of the first captains returning from hell must have been made by Masato Miyazaki; there is no doubt about that.

Shuichi Higashino investigated Masato Miyazaki's Zanpakuto abilities, and at least in theory, the latter did have the ability to create such a product.

However, it is very likely that Masato Miyazaki has lost control of these spirits that house the souls of the first captains for some special reason.

He didn't just happen to have the idea of ​​coming to the East Coast Bureau because of Takuya Kabuto's reasons; it was premeditated, and he was on the run!

This explains why Masato Miyazaki never intended to approach them.

Because he didn't come here voluntarily at all.

Following this line of thought, Higashino Shuichi soon came up with another guess that he was somewhat hesitant to confirm.

"Shuichi, what are you thinking about?"

Sitting next to Shuichi Higashino, Masayako Kabuto noticed his increasingly serious expression and gently placed her hands on his left hand, asking him with some concern.

Higashino Shuichi didn't answer Sayako, but instead turned to look at Ayuraku Takuro, who was engrossed in watching "TV" to the side.

"Yulu Tuoliu, there's something I feel I need to confirm with you."

On the other side, the battle between Hisamii Enteki and Kisaragi Shusuke did not pause in the slightest because of Higashino Shuichi and his group's actions.

"Car Flame Dragon Fang!"

Facing the first captain, Kisaragi Shusuke had no illusions. He kept in mind Higashino Shuichi's teachings: even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Even though his abilities are theoretically superior to all Grim Reapers, he cannot afford to be complacent.

After all, it had only been a short time since he was taught how to be a Shinigami by a Shinigami captain named Aizen Sousuke.

So after the initial attack failed, Kisaragi Shusuke immediately activated his Bakuya-no-Tō Bankai.

The fiery cracks spread rapidly outwards from Kisaragi's feet, and when they reached their limit, countless boiling flames shot out from the openings of these cracks. Their destination was only one: the first captain, Nagatoi Kentei, who was also located in mid-air in the middle of the cracks.

"Wow~ Not bad at all~"
"Able to use Bankai, and with such power, how come you, a Shinigami, aren't a captain?"

As Hisameni Kentei swung his Zanpakuto, which resembled a short mace, to deflect the flames that were attacking him, he sighed and laughed.

His actions, his expression, his tone—it was as if he didn't take Kisaragi Shusuke seriously at all.

However, Hisami Kentei certainly had the right to be proud.

While Kisaragi Shusuke's spiritual pressure isn't particularly high among the current Soul Society captain-level Shinigami, the characteristics of the Baku sword itself mean it doesn't need to rely too much on the user's spiritual pressure to unleash special abilities far exceeding the user's own strength.

However, it seems that Kyūmeni Ente didn't even use his Zanpakuto release, yet he easily defeated Kisaragi Shusuke's powerful Bankai attack.

This is the first captain.
Kisaragi Shusuke finally understood why Yujima Oshu always boasted about how he could fight that rebellious Saizo for several rounds before almost losing whenever he saw him and Matsumoto Rangiku.

Because being able to spar with these seemingly excessively strong first-generation captains is indeed no easy task.

"However, I have an absolute reason why I cannot lose!"

Kisaragi Shusuke thought of Shuichi, who must be watching the battle silently at this moment, and that hateful Yujima Osh. It didn't make sense that Yujima Osh could hold his own against the First Captain for several rounds, while he, the Grim Reaper, couldn't even break through the First Captain's defense.

"Explosive Dragon Fang - Ignite!"

Kisaragi Shusuke once again slammed his Zanpakuto into the ground, and even more powerful flames burst forth from beneath the earth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Then, amidst this irregularity, the flames, like the gaping maw of a dragon, tried to swallow the floating Kyumeni Yantetsu.

"You can't do anything with flames of this intensity," Kisaragi Shusuke said, looking at the flames released by his strongest attack. Although they couldn't match the temperature of the sun's core, which could ignite everything, Kisaragi Shusuke was still impressed.

However, the destructive power contained within its flames is not something that an ordinary Grim Reaper can withstand.

Even the first captain had to put in some effort, right?
Kisaragi Shusuke thought this way, but reality slapped him hard in the face.

Hisami Enetsu simply held up one finger and softly said, "Butterfly~"

Then, Kisaragi Shusuke saw Hisamii Yōteki raise his sword and bring it down. His Blazing Dragon Fang was split in two in mid-air, without even touching the hem of Hisamii Yōteki's clothes.

"How can this be?!"

Kisaragi Shusuke still couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was his strongest killing move, aside from the blunting effect that could seal the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto.

Just gone?
That's a bit too much.
"It is the Shikai of Kumenai Enteki's Zanpakuto, the execution instrument Tai. It uses a specific shape as the execution site. As long as the enemy or any substance with spiritual pressure touches that shape, Kumenai Enteki can immediately decide whether to carry out the execution."

If Hisami Kentei's choice is affirmative, then whatever steps onto the execution ground can be shattered by Hisami Kentei with a single blow!

Masayako Kabuto, who witnessed the scene through monitoring the bacteria, immediately explained it to Shuichi Higashino.

In the past, among the things that Shuichi Higashino asked Sayoko Kabuto to do was to investigate the Zanpakuto abilities of these first captains.

These are contents that even Higashino Shuichi could not find in the Great Spiritual Library.

Clearly, that part of the information was either missing for some reason or was deliberately hidden by someone.

"So the purpose of Hisamii Kente raising one finger was to use his spiritual power to create a butterfly-shaped mark in front of him."
Indeed, this is the best way I can think of to utilize this ability, thus turning a passive situation into an active one.

As expected of the first captain.

Higashino Shuichi's expression hadn't fully recovered from the answer he'd received earlier, but as long as Hisamitsu Ente was still within the realm of death, there was no way he could deal with Kisaragi Shusuke.

"Although I'm not entirely sure about your abilities, they seem pretty impressive. But I'm sorry, your performance is ending before it even begins."

It was certainly sad to have his strongest move shattered by Hisami Entei in one fell swoop, but on the other hand, the fact that he was able to take down such a powerful first captain also highlighted his own strength, something that Yujima Oshi could never match.

Therefore, Kisaragi Shusuke was still very excited.

"Passivation!"

An invisible sound wave spread outward from the tuning fork-shaped tip of the Baku sword in the Kisaragi Shusuke's hand. This sound wave, which is impossible to block, will completely disable any Zanpakuto that is covered by it.

It always works.

Even Aizen Sousuke, whom Shuichi was extremely wary of, was equally powerless against this move.

However, just as Kisaragi Shusuke was about to finish the battle with a simple attack, his eyes widened as if he had seen something absolutely unbelievable.

"Lightning!"

Hisamenai Kente snapped his fingers at Kisaragi Shusuke. This time, Kisaragi Shusuke watched more closely because he dodged several lightning-infused spiritual pressure projectiles from Hisamenai Kente. Those seemingly harmless concentrated spiritual pressures were all Hisamenai Kente's targets. With just a slight lift of his hand and a swing of his sword, Hisamenai Kente would instantly shatter the places struck by the lightning marks into huge craters.

Furthermore, around Kisaragi Shusuke, some items that were not created by Hisamii Entei but had their own lightning bolt symbols were also rapidly transforming.

"Why can you still use your Zanpakuto's abilities?"

Kisaragi Shusuke could naturally guess that this must be Hisamenai Kentei's Zanpakuto ability, but what he couldn't understand was why Hisamenai Kentei could still use his Zanpakuto's ability when he had already used the ability to dull his Zanpakuto's release.

"Oh? You would ask that question. Could it be that you are the Shinigami who can nullify the release of a Shinigami's Zanpakuto?"

Hisami Ente rubbed his chin with his unsworded hand, and smiled with some interest.

"But do you think I would tell the answer to this question to someone who is my enemy?"

I don't look as stupid as that pig from before, do I?

So, whatever the reason, the current result is that this Hisumi Kentei isn't affected by my ability dulling.
Kisaragi Shusuke thought with some difficulty.

The battle was starting to spiral out of control. A very obvious fact was laid out before Kisaragi Shusuke: his Baku-yōtō ability was almost entirely countered by the first captain, and Kisaragi Shusuke's spiritual pressure was not high either.

In terms of swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and even the Shunpo technique, Kisaragi Shusuke could only be said to have barely reached the passing grade of captain level. As for Kido, there was no need to mention it; Kisaragi Shusuke was a standard Kido-immune person.

"Shuichi-kun, Shusuke-kun is probably in big trouble right now. We need to send Ou-xu over there."

As Sayaka Kabuto, who was watching the game, turned her head with some concern and found that the place where Shuichi Higashino had been was now deserted.

"It was agreed that I would give Xiuzhu and Ou Xu a stage to show themselves, but Shuichi-kun is still too kind."

Sayaka Kabuto crossed her arms over her chest and murmured with a slight smile.

On the other hand, facing the unreasonable Zanpakuto ability of Hisumai Enteki and the excessive spiritual pressure, Kisaragi Shusuke's defeat was a completely predictable result. In fact, because Hisumai Enteki pointed out two marks on his body, Kisaragi Shusuke was forced to discard all his clothes, leaving only a few pieces of cloth to cover his vital parts.

"You look a bit disheveled, Shusuke!"

Just as Hisami Entei seemed to have gotten tired of playing, he used Shunpo to appear in front of Kisaragi Shusuke, intending to end this farce, Yujima Oshu's voice came from the void. Immediately afterwards, the environment around Hisami Entei and Kisaragi Shusuke changed.

At the same time, a brand new set of clothes reappeared on Kisaragi Shusuke's body.

To be honest, Kisaragi Shusuke was somewhat touched, but men don't say things so easily.

"Be careful, he's very strong!"
