Getsuga Tensho is the signature move of Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist of the “Bleach” universe.
However, Isshin, who is Ichigo’s future father, performs a different version of Getsuga Tensho.
Isshin’s Getsuga Tensho is a close-range slash that mixes spiritual pressure with flames.
During the battle in Karakura Town, Isshin even used his Getsuga Tensho to injure Aizen after he fused with the Hogyoku.
This demonstrates the power of the technique.
However, Isshin is currently facing ancient magic from the Age of Gods in the Type-Moon universe.
In the Type-Moon universe, any ancient magic is equivalent to modern magic, as it contains an energy called True Ether.
In the Type-Moon universe, True Ether, also known as the Fifth True Theoretical Factor, is the power that nourishes planets and forms celestial bodies.
Thus, even though Isshin’s Getsuga Tensho is powerful, it still cannot counteract all the magical beams in one strike.
Boom!
The explosion’s flames and smoke obscured Isshin’s vision but couldn’t block his danger sense.
Without hesitation, Isshin used Shunpo to leave his current position.
Just as Isshin used Shunpo to leave, the golden magical beams pierced through the flames and smoke, continuing to pursue him.
Isshin couldn’t understand what these beams were. Despite not sensing any spiritual pressure, their power was terrifying.
Most importantly, why were these beams tracking him?
Could it be like Bakudo No. 58, Kakushitsuijaku, able to sense his spiritual pressure and track him?
Isshin didn’t have time to ponder this as the beams closed in on him.
He couldn’t afford to be careless and unleashed another Getsuga Tensho.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each deafening explosion, flames and smoke barriers rose throughout the underground base.
“Getsuga… Tensho!”
Shouting, Isshin slashed his Zanpakuto again, cutting through the last magical beam.
Even Isshin started to pant.
The continuous use of Shunpo and repeated Getsuga Tensho were draining his stamina.
Finally, Isshin managed to look towards Gilgamesh.
What he saw made the veins on his forehead throb.
In Isshin’s eyes, Gilgamesh, exuding regal majesty, was still seated on the golden throne, seemingly pondering something, completely ignoring him.
It was as if Isshin’s battle had not even caught Gilgamesh’s attention.
Perhaps, in Gilgamesh’s eyes, it wasn’t even a battle.
Taking a deep breath, Isshin resisted the urge to use Bankai, trying to calm his anger.
Isshin’s Bankai put immense strain on his body and required stable spiritual pressure to use.
Stable spiritual pressure meant Isshin couldn’t use Bankai after a major battle.
So, Isshin had to use Bankai either at the start or when the battle wasn’t intense.
Using Bankai required a quick victory due to its immense strain.
Thus, Isshin rarely used Bankai.
But without using Bankai, how could he defeat Gilgamesh?
Isshin believed he could break the magical barrier of the golden throne but wasn’t sure if there would be more magical beams afterward or even stronger attacks.
Taking a deep breath, Isshin knew he had no choice.
He raised his right hand, aiming his palm at Gilgamesh, and began chanting.
“Mask of flesh and bone, fluttering wings, crowned with the name of man!”
“Carve a twin lotus on the wall of blue flames and await the blazing fires to reach the distant heavens!”
Terrifying spiritual energy gathered in Isshin’s palm, turning into a raging blue flame.
“Hado No. 73: Soren Sokatsui!”
With Isshin’s shout, the raging blue flames split and blasted towards Gilgamesh from all directions, resembling blooming twin lotuses.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, a barrier of blue flames and smoke rose.
Seeing this, Isshin’s expression turned serious as he gripped his Zanpakuto, wary of more magical beams.
After waiting for a while without any beams, Isshin sighed in relief.
The barrier of blue flames and smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the cracked magical barrier and the unharmed golden throne with Gilgamesh sitting atop it.
Gilgamesh no longer appeared troubled.
Isshin thought his attack had worked, catching Gilgamesh’s attention.
This shook Isshin’s resolve. He planned to break through the magical barrier in one go.
Without hesitation, Isshin began chanting Soren Sokatsui again, his right palm still aimed at Gilgamesh.
Isshin didn’t notice that the treasures shot out earlier had all returned to the Gate of Babylon, reappearing from the golden ripples.
Listening to Isshin’s chant and watching the blue flames gather in his palm, Gilgamesh waved his hand.
The treasures returned to the Gate of Babylon, but the golden ripples remained, indicating the gate hadn’t closed.
Isshin noticed this and was shaken, adding another layer of confusion.
Isshin couldn’t understand why Gilgamesh recalled his treasures. Had he given up or was preparing another attack?
Isshin’s chanting continued despite his thoughts.
“Hado No. 73: Soren Sokatsui!”
With Isshin’s shout, more blue flames surged toward Gilgamesh.
But this time, the flames were scattered by chains before reaching him.
Isshin saw golden chains with bladed tips emerging from the golden ripples.
He heard Gilgamesh’s regal, commanding voice filled with interest.
“Shinigami, if you call yourselves gods, let me see if these chains that can bind even gods can capture you!”
