The Great Movie Emperor System (Anime Crossover)

Page 14

Given five career options, Aizen naturally chose Shinigami.

The result was a very magical chemical reaction.

A Shinigami's talent is directly linked to their spiritual pressure; an A-rank talent means that their spiritual pressure is naturally at the captain level.

With sufficient spiritual pressure and an extremely resilient mental state, awakening a Zanpakuto is a natural progression.

This is also why Aizen felt that Joe Higashi was more reliable despite his own passionate nature. A martial arts master's mental state must be extremely profound, so there was no need to worry about him causing any accidents in serious matters.

Furthermore, Joe Higashi, who "changed" to become a Grim Reaper, was given a beginner-level technique in the Demon Walk Fist. Only his Hakuda (white-handed fighting) skills were passively elevated to the level of Hakuda mastery because he was already a master of martial arts. This was largely thanks to Muay Thai, which utilizes punches, kicks, knees, and elbows simultaneously, making it a "martial arts of eight limbs." If there hadn't been so little time, perhaps the Hakuda techniques he had been taught would have already been mastered to the highest level.

The levels of "Thai Boxing" and "My Style" are also on par with White Fight.

As for whether this was due to his mastery of Hakuda (a style of martial arts), or whether these two abilities were originally at such a high level, but Joe Higashi had not yet fully integrated his own style with Muay Thai in 95, which is why they did not appear very strong.

There's some truth to that.

Most of his signature moves were modified versions of Muay Thai, adapted to his own style and better suited to his individual needs. For example, the "double-leg throw" was essentially a modified scissor kick. However, his most fundamental abilities were not yet perfect, which is why his rank was not high.

The completed version of the "Forward Charge Kick" is the "Lightning Kick"; the completed version of the "Tiger Kick" is the "Tiger Break Kick".

The kicking technique that instantly killed the seated official, including "Golden Heel Fall," was actually called "Golden Bird's Foot" by Joe Higashi in 95. It was originally intended to be improved into a finishing move, but it was never achieved in the following years. This was partly because other finishing moves were strong enough that even if this move were upgraded to the same level, it might not be able to compare with the Death Tornado, and partly because it was difficult to modify.

But one thing is certain: this tactic from 95 was not yet perfected.

After being refined in 96, it was discovered that this move wasn't as powerful as it seemed, so it was renamed back to "Golden Heel Fall" and no further development was undertaken. Therefore, the level might not change after the refinement, but it will definitely be stronger than before.

Finally, the Super Cyclone Fist has not yet evolved into the Death Tornado.

It's only because Joe Higashi's Zanpakuto after his Shikai is wind-attribute that he can unleash the Death Tornado.

However, after Shikai, he can unleash a "death tornado" with his Zanpakuto. Although Joe Higashi's mastery of fist techniques is not as good as his 96 and 97 selves after Shikai amplification, he is enough to contend with his 96 and 97 selves with the power of his Zanpakuto alone.

Once his Zanpakuto is combined with his fist techniques, a tremendous chemical reaction occurs. The combination of his B-rank moves and Zanpakuto abilities can even rival the Death Tornado, a super special move from '97 and '98.

It was because of this that Joe Higashi, who was originally a C-rank, jumped to become an A-rank figure. However, even though he was an A-rank, he was still at the bottom of the A-rank hierarchy.

His strength has increased too quickly; he needs time to consolidate it.

However, this time, he doesn't need to reveal his full strength.

Just as he was wreaking havoc, Chojiro, who was rushing over here, was secretly surprised.

"Another powerful spiritual pressure erupted. What kind of fierce battle is taking place on the White Path Sect's side?"

"That's... a giant arm, and a tornado!"

Chapter 25 One-Sword Style: A Shocking Experience (5/5), Bonus Chapter for Flowers

While Big Dog and Silver were putting on their act, Aizen's test was also incredibly exciting.

Although the wary Aizen wanted to use the kendo exam to gain points for himself before using his D-release, he was unwilling to directly reveal his Three-Sword Style.

Of course, he would not admit that the beast-like, ferocious swordsmanship of the Three-Sword Style did not fit his temperament and persona.

With a similar skill level in swordsmanship, Aizen, wielding a single sword, fought to a standstill with Kyoraku Shunsui, who used two swords, and Aizen even appeared slightly inferior at times before revealing too much of his strength.

"Your swordsmanship is impressive, but to say it surpasses your Kido (demon arts) is far from enough. Hmph..."

Kyoraku Shunsui, having met his match, had his curly hair swaying. He was exhausted from fighting with all his might in their sword techniques, and even speaking a single word was tiring.

"This Vice-Captain Aizen's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but I feel like it's not as powerful as I expected," Shiba Isshin said, stroking his chin.

"The level of eighth dan in kendo." The fervor in Unohana Retsu's eyes gradually faded, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she gave a calm assessment.

"Oh, that's better than me."

Shiba smacked his lips, and after a few seconds he felt something was wrong. Suddenly he looked at Unohana Retsu in shock: "How do you know his exact level? Even I, a sixth-dan in kendo, can't accurately determine their kendo level."

"Hehe, I've just seen it a lot." Unohana Retsu smiled gently.

Shiba tried to laugh it off, but he didn't believe it at all, even though he knew that Unohana Retsu was not young and might have a high level of understanding.

Some things cannot be explained simply by one's perspective.

If one could truly see through the secrets, then even if one wasn't originally a Kendo 8th Dan, one would probably have already mastered it and reached or approached that level long ago.

Of course, Shiba Isshin didn't think any deeper.

Retsu Unohana was, after all, just the captain of a medical team in the Fourth Division.

Not only them, but everyone else also frowned slightly.

To be honest, among those present, besides the Captain-Commander, the only one who could confidently say that he was superior to Aizen in terms of swordsmanship was the unknown Retsu Unohana.

Having witnessed Aizen's astonishing Kido, they always felt something was missing.

"Actually, Vice-Captain Aizen is fully capable of becoming a captain, but his previous words and astonishing level of Kido skills have raised expectations too high," Ukitake Jushiro said with a wry smile.

Is that really the case?

Old man Yamamoto muttered to himself, looking at Aizen's still incredibly confident smile, feeling that things weren't so simple.

A few seconds later, the change finally occurred.

During a chance to separate, Aizen suddenly sheathed his sword, gripping the scabbard and hilt with both hands.

"Hmm? Are they getting serious now?"

Kyoraku Shunsui was startled and immediately drew his sword without hesitation.

Looking at the twin swords coming towards him, Aizen murmured calmly, "Everything breathes. When you can hear that weak point, even the most indestructible thing will have a weakness."

"what?"

One-Sword Style Lion's Song!

Wow.

The two passed each other, and the crisp sound of their collision was so noticeable.

With the blade slightly drawn from its sheath, Aizen smiled and sheathed his Zanpakuto again.

"This is! Iaijutsu!"

Unohana Retsu opened her eyes wide again, her beautiful eyes once more filled with interest.

One Iaijutsu slash doesn't mean much, but this move is different.

"Blocked again?"

Just as Kyoraku Shunsui turned around, feeling somewhat annoyed and still not understanding what was happening, he suddenly heard an extremely faint moan.

He suddenly looked at the blade.

A small notch appeared on the longsword.

"Hua Tian Kuanggu!"

Kyoraku Shunsui's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

His Zanpakuto was injured.

"What?! My Zanpakuto is damaged!"

"Is this something that can be done with just Iaijutsu?"

"At our level, there's no difference between Iaijutsu and ordinary slashes. How is that possible?"

Not only Kyoraku Shunsui, but also others like Ukitake Jushiro and Shiba Isshin were completely bewildered.

Only two kendo masters who had reached the tenth dan in kendo understood what had happened.

Grandpa Yamamoto, his initial doubts vanished, and explained with renewed vigor: "At your level, ordinary Iaijutsu is no different from a regular slash. In fact, the reduced attack frequency due to the charging process makes it counterproductive. However, this Iaijutsu is a charged attack that quickly strikes the target's weakest point. This strike could easily sever even a killing stone. If it weren't for Shunsui's Zanpakuto, any Zanpakuto below the captain level would probably only result in a broken blade."

The captains were stunned!

Even a simple Iaijutsu slash can be used in creative ways.

They knew exactly what a Killing Aura Stone was. Not only was it incredibly hard, but it could completely block spiritual energy. If it could be imbued with spiritual power, even if it were ten times harder, they could cut it. But none of their captains had ever managed to cut a Killing Aura Stone. Unohana Retsu smiled gently: "I can."

"Shall we continue?" Aizen asked apologetically as he turned around.

"This……"

Kyoraku Shunsui hesitated for a moment. What he wanted to do most right now was to repair Katen Kyokotsu.

Chant~~~

Suddenly, the long sword in his hand trembled and emitted a soft clanging sound of rejection.

"I see. Do you still want to continue the fight?"

Sensing the sword's intent, Kyoraku Shunsui suppressed his frivolity, raised his face, and said firmly, "Although I know from your iaido slash that your swordsmanship is probably far superior to mine, please continue this sparring match. At least let me suffer a complete defeat!"

Kyoraku Shunsui, with his keen self-awareness, immediately gave up any hope of victory.

He just wanted to witness his Zanpakuto's glorious defeat.

Aizen's eyes flickered; he hadn't expected his opponent to continue fighting.

He didn't intend to reveal his Three-Sword Style, but he could still use some of the less distinctive but still powerful techniques from the One-Sword Style. He was just wary of potential transmigrators in this world, but not so wary as to lack any autonomy or allow anything to deviate from the original storyline.

Just don't shout out the move names like an idiot when you're fighting.

In the One-Sword Style, aside from the more distinctive ones like Thirty-Six Troubles Wind and Flying Dragon Flame, it doesn't matter if you use the rest.

As for why Aizen didn't show how superb these sword skills were in the original story, he didn't do so.

It's very simple. Aizen could kill someone instantly with a single slash while using Kyoka Suigetsu. Is it really necessary to show that?

Besides, Aizen was originally a peak Shinigami, a man who had mastered even the basic techniques of Slash Technique and Demon Slash to their limits. He said this before, but whether it was just boasting is another matter. In any case, his battles were either about crushing his opponents or being crushed by the protagonist, making it impossible to discern the truth from falsehood.

Therefore, even if there really were time travelers, they would definitely have imagined him in a very good way.

"Then this next move will completely defeat you."

Aizen, who has always presented himself as gentle, finally revealed a sharp edge.

"I couldn't ask for more! Dual-Sword Style!"

As the short sword guarded the way and the long sword attacked, Aizen's body was filled with a terrifying aura, and a red light flashed in his eyes like a demon from hell.

The One-Sword Style is a huge shock!

Chapter 26: You Might Be Disappointed in the Future (1/6)

Kyoraku Shunsui stood frozen for a long time before silently looking at the blade that had slashed down three centimeters from his forehead.

I... lost.

His slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of relief and helplessness.

Aizen, who had been bending over to strike, silently sheathed his blade and said softly, "Thank you for your kind offer."

"What's this talk of conceding or not? If you lose, you lose."

Kyoraku Shunsui, having reinserted his twin swords into their sheaths, seemed much more composed, his droopy eyelids masking a nonchalant demeanor.

Although being defeated head-on in one move left him with slightly mixed feelings, it wasn't to the point of losing his composure. Putting aside the fact that his swordsmanship was second only to a handful of people within the Soul Society, swordsmanship was only one part of his fighting methods, so losing simply in swordsmanship didn't mean anything.

"This swordsmanship!" Unohana Retsu's eyes flashed with a dazzling light again, and she felt a strong sense of unease, as if she had discovered prey and her own kind.

"The use of momentum?"

Captain-Commander Yamamoto pondered for a moment, his face showing rare satisfaction and appreciation: "Although your swordsmanship level has not reached the tenth dan, you have clearly found your own path. You do not focus on the techniques themselves, but instead put a lot of effort into the momentum. Combined with your considerable swordsmanship level, you are comparable to an average tenth dan swordsman."

As for what a typical tenth dan in kendo is, any intelligent person can understand it.

A typical 10th Dan in Kendo is someone who hasn't developed their own style. However, how many people who reach the 10th Dan in Kendo don't have their own unique style?

Aizen was neither very happy nor very disappointed by this.

He has mastered the Three-Sword Style, and reaching S-rank means mastering the entire Three-Sword Style, not just two individual moves.

Even though Lion's Song is a kind of ultimate technique in Zoro's One-Sword Style, there are still enhanced versions of it. Great Shock, while powerful, is a move from two years later, but in reality, the sword technique itself is still a simple downward slash. This move is more suitable for surprise attacks and suppression.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Aizen chuckled calmly, seemingly unfazed by praise or criticism, much like Retsu Unohana.

"Excuse me, but could you tell me the names of those two moves?" Unohana Retsu's gentle voice suddenly rang out.

A sudden feeling of being watched washed over Aizen, and his brow twitched slightly. These two moves shouldn't be enough to pique Unohana Retsu's interest.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at him with curiosity, Aizen pondered for a moment.
