Chapter 1295 Difference
Ichibei's expression of wanting to tear Kisuke apart was very obvious to the latter but both of them didn't move for a few minutes and just stared at each other.
After those few minutes, the first one to speak was Kisuke, "I was hoping that you'd just disappear into oblivion after that collapse."
Ichibei gritted his teeth and held his glave tightly. In the past, all of his opponents would have a hard time seeing whether his Zanpakuto was a brush or a blade. But now that his ability to control all [Black] in the world has disappeared, it just looks like a normal glave. This Zanpakuto has already lost its spirit, 'No. That's not right... It's debatable if that thing even had a spirit to begin with.' Kisuke thought to himself.
"You... What have you done?", muttered Ichibei, full of hate.
Kisuke Flash Stepped in front of him with his dagger aiming at Ichibei's neck.
While Ichibei lost his authority, he still had all the abilities of a normal Shinigami and much more because of the energy he retained. So after he cooled his head for a bit, it was easy for him to respond to Kisuke's actions, and was able to block the assault with ease.
Ichibei's right hand left his glaive and sent out a palm towards Kisuke's flank.
Kisuke managed to block the hand with his elbow, but it was still enough to send him flying to the side.
He immediately reoriented himself while bringing his palm pointing towards Ichibei, "Haien (Abolishing Flames)." A blast of purple flames burst forth from Kisuke's palms.
