Chapter 150: First Meeting With Unohana
The Zanjutsu practice in the Zanpakuto space was just a daily routine.
The existence of the Wandenreich, especially the rumored "The Almighty" of Yhwach, inspired Mazuru to become stronger. Mazuru doesn't know how strong Yhwach is, but since he is the ultimate villain, he won't underestimate him in the slightest. In the original book, Aizen and Kurosaki Ichigo had joined forces and with the addition of various factors, they were barely able to defeat him.
Taking Muguruma Kensei as the unit of measurement first, Yhwach is probably stronger than Aizen. So, Mazuru doesn't even know how many Muguruma Kensei add up to make him.
Therefore, with his current strength he may not be Yhwach's opponent, but there is still time and there is nothing wrong with working hard to increase his strength.
Zanjutsu, Kido, Hakuda and Hohō, are the four basic skills of shinigami. These four abilities of Mazuru are all very strong. However, he found that the only thing he could rely on during any kind of crisis was the sword in his hand and the slashing technique honed in Hueco Mundo for a hundred years.
Can it be used against Yhwach?
He doesn't know. But thinking back, in a sense, the means used by Chi no Kawa in the Zanpakuto space was similar to the ability "The Almighty". When fighting there, due to the specialty of that space, all his offensives will be foreseen by her and then she would take countermeasures in advance.
Thinking about Chi no Kawa, Mazuru felt a little helpless. Except for the time when he wanted to achieve Bankai and forcibly materialized her into reality with Kisuke's help, Mazuru never won against her. The battles in the Zanpakuto space, even if his strength has grown over the years, they still end in failure. The only change is the amount of time he can persist.
But if he can't even compete with this demo-version of "The Almighty", it will be really difficult to fight against Yhwach.
"I need to improve and master even stronger slashing technique."
Mazuru looked at the sword in his hand.
