The Seireitei had witnessed countless Bankai throughout its history, but few demonstrations had ever gathered all thirteen captains in one place. This time, however, Head Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had personally ordered the demonstration. At the center of the First Division's training grounds stood Guest, their Zanpakutō resting calmly at their side. Surrounding them were the captains of the Gotei 13: 1st Division — Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Head Captain 2nd Division — Soi Fon 3rd Division — Rōjūrō "Rose" Otoribashi 4th Division — Retsu Unohana 5th Division — Shinji Hirako 6th Division — Byakuya Kuchiki 7th Division — Sajin Komamura 8th Division — Shunsui Kyōraku 9th Division — Kensei Muguruma 10th Division — Tōshirō Hitsugaya 11th Division — Kenpachi Zaraki 12th Division — Mayuri Kurotsuchi 13th Division — Jūshirō Ukitake Every captain had been summoned to witness Guest's Bankai. Yet Yamamoto's reason for calling them there wasn't simply curiosity. He was suspicious. For some time, Guest's spiritual pressure had attracted attention throughout the Seireitei. Their Reiatsu seemed unusually difficult to measure. At times it appeared ordinary; at others, it briefly surged to a level that made even experienced Shinigami uneasy. Yamamoto wanted answers.
1st Division — Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Head Captain 2nd Division — Soi Fon 3rd Division — Rōjūrō "Rose" Otoribashi 4th Division — Retsu Unohana 5th Division — Shinji Hirako 6th Division — Byakuya Kuchiki 7th Division — Sajin Komamura 8th Division — Shunsui Kyōraku 9th Division — Kensei Muguruma 10th Division — Tōshirō Hitsugaya 11th Division — Kenpachi Zaraki 12th Division — Mayuri Kurotsuchi 13th Division — Jūshirō Ukitake Every captain had been summoned to witness Guest's Bankai. Yet Yamamoto's reason for calling them there wasn't simply curiosity. He was suspicious.

The Head Captain stepped forward, his expression stern. "Guest. Today, you will demonstrate the full nature of your Zanpakutō." Kenpachi Zaraki immediately grinned. "Finally. Let's see what they're hiding." Byakuya remained completely composed, his eyes fixed upon Guest. Soi Fon studied every movement carefully. Mayuri, meanwhile, was already taking notes. "How fascinating..." Mayuri muttered. "Their Reiatsu doesn't behave normally." Shunsui's normally relaxed expression had disappeared. Even Unohana quietly observed Guest with an unreadable smile.
Yamamoto raised his hand. "Begin." The atmosphere instantly changed. The air trembled.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya's eyes widened. "That's only the initial release?" Komamura tightened his grip on his sword. Kensei immediately became more serious. Rose stared at the transformation with fascination. But Kenpachi? He was smiling. "Now we're talking." The surrounding spiritual energy began responding.
Byakuya's expression hardened. "Their Bankai isn't even fully revealed what is this light!". Shunsui finished the thought. "It's changing the battlefield itself." Yamamoto remained silent. He watched every movement. Mayuri's eyes widened with excitement.
