Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

Masatsuki Aozaki gently placed a hand on his chest, feeling the mysterious power radiating from the blue-black Hōgyoku embedded within him. It rested there quietly.

Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, his eyes sharpening with newfound clarity.

At that moment, he felt as if he had transcended the world, gazing down upon it from a lofty, otherworldly perspective. The vast spectacle of existence unfolded before him like a magnificent, vividly painted scroll.

And upon this immense tapestry, a pair of familiar eyes slowly opened, deep and wise beyond measure.

A strange sensation surged through Masatsuki Aozaki's heart.

He felt as though he knew this presence—as if, somewhere in his memory, he had once understood its true identity. Yet, as he faced it now, his recollection grew hazy and indistinct.

This contradiction unsettled him deeply.

Just then, a resonant, bell-like voice rang out:

"Go forward."

Forward? But where?

Masatsuki Aozaki found himself lost in thought.
