Chapter 1291 Death with a Finger part 1
Ichibei kept questioning why his precognition had ceased to exist and thought of various possibilities. And the most probable of them all was the fact that he absorbed Kisuke. For some reason, it destabilized his form and affected his abilities.
'This should just be a temporary problem.' Ichibei reassured himself. Of course, this isn't just some baseless optimism. He already predicted that something like this may happen since this form is technically in an experimental stage. Ideally, he would want to compress this form into the size of a normal Human and concentrate his strength.
Kisuke has something very foreign from the current world so Ichibei is pinning that as the main reason for his destabilization. Even then, the amount of destruction he could cause didn't lessen, instead, he seemed to have absorbed his abilities to manipulate the elements.
Ichibei was only able to calm down when his instincts told him that the future where he would meet unknown people with Spiritual abilities still holds [True], 'At this level, instincts provide more benefits since most of the abilities and phenomenons couldn't be explained by logic.'
This absence of precognition also explains why he couldn't see the specific timeline before reaching that future, 'So that's why it's a blank canvas. I don't have the ability to 'see' at that point in time. In that case, I just have to follow this blank canvas to come out of that future.' He doesn't know how long it'll take, but it's certainly a future where he exists and his cognition will return.
For starters, Ichibei was able to reach the Soul Society and stop whatever they were doing by blocking the dimension with his own power. His arm was cut off but it's not something concerning for Ichibei.
The boundary that he destroyed was also blocked by ice but he still could see everything that was happening beyond it. But soon, his emotional turmoil returned when he saw Yhwach making his appearance. The two of them looked at each other's 'eyes' and Ichibei figured that he found out his current situation.
In an attempt to cover up the previous festering fear, Ichibei erupted into rage, 'These pests.'
Regenerating his severed arm, Ichibei extended out his hands and blocked the beam of light that came from the Red Dragon.
