Chapter 98: Pinnacle
"The latter!"
Satoshi's answer was firm.
The Zanpakutō he forged for Toji was merely icing on the cake.
Even without Katen Kyōkotsu, Naobito and Ogi would still be no match for Toji.
"Oh? Why? Satoshi, why are you so certain?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across the wrinkled face of the old man. From the very beginning, Satoshi seemed to have an unusual regard for Zenin Toji. The first time he had drawn his sword in battle had also been for Toji's sake.
What exactly had influenced Satoshi to make such a judgment?
Facing the clan leader's inquiry, Satoshi did not hesitate. He directly revealed the secret of Heavenly Restriction.
"Toji's Heavenly Restriction is the most extreme type. The complete absence of Cursed Energy grants him a natural resistance to it while also allowing him to reach the absolute peak of human physical potential."
"You could say he is the strongest human being alive."
Satoshi spoke with conviction. At the very least, as a human, Zenin Toji had reached the pinnacle.
