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

Just as Aizen reeled in shock, Masatsuki Aozaki's figure vanished like a phantom, disappearing in an instant.

A moment later, he reappeared, seemingly passing right through Aizen as if he had teleported.

"Jōkaku Enjō."

Masatsuki murmured softly, and his Zanpakutō shone with a blinding light.

"Apologies... but I've already cut you."

As his words fell, his Zanpakutō slid smoothly back into its sheath.

The motion was fluid, effortless, without even a hint of hesitation.

A moment later, a charred wound suddenly appeared on Aizen's body.

It was a faint, almost imperceptible slash—so fine that, without careful inspection, it would have been nearly impossible to notice.

And yet, that seemingly insignificant cut sent a wave of unprecedented fear surging through Aizen.

Even with the heightened perception of his Second Fusion state, he had been completely unable to track the attack!
