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

Kūgo Ginjō’s eyes rolled back, the whites almost fully exposed, as though he had completely lost consciousness.

It was clear this Cero had been held back—Harribel hadn’t struck with full force.

She knew all too well that if she had gone all out, Kūgo Ginjō would’ve been reduced to ashes on the spot.

And once that happened, retrieving his soul and the Soul King fragments inside him would’ve become far more difficult.

That’s why, even with this Gran Rey Cero, she had restrained her power, using only a suppressed form of Reiatsu.

Now, standing before the defenseless Kūgo Ginjō, Harribel didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward and drove her right hand straight into his chest.

In an instant, powered by her white glove, her hand found and seized his soul—along with the large number of Soul King fragments he had absorbed—and yanked them free.

Without delay, she placed the extracted soul into a jade orb and sealed it tightly.

Then, with a graceful pivot and a crisp bang, Harribel appeared beside Nelliel in a flash.

Nelliel raised one hand, her arm also wrapped tightly in a white glove, holding a matching jade orb. Inside it was the soul of Shūkurō Tsukishima.

With this, the two of them had finally accomplished the goal of their mission.

Was Kūgo Ginjō strong?
