The noble eggs of the 2nd and 6th Divisions cannot be moved, and the 6th Division, being a noble team, will inevitably participate in the division of the spoils.
As for the rest, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro both went to compete. It wasn't that they didn't want to compete, but the stronger they were, the less effective they were at leveling up. The Captain-Commander didn't intend to let the two of them, who were his and Unohana Retsu's students, participate.
They themselves acknowledged this point, as the main purpose of the competition was to train their subordinates; however, if they themselves wouldn't go, they could only persuade the other team leaders.
Therefore, in Aizen's view, everyone with strength is qualified to be selected.
Soi Fon and Mayuri Kurotsuchi are both at the bottom of the 13th Division. Soi Fon is the captain of this division, which is not a noble division in name, but whose actual power is second only to the 1st Division. Soi Fon's selection is not surprising.
Regarding the latter, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had indeed applied, but Aizen used the "Hell Incident" as an excuse during the first half of last week's meeting.
This added a lot of pressure to the...mad scientist, especially since his duties were rejected by the captain under the pretext of being too demanding.
Following that, the next three, five, seven, nine, and ten will likely be the candidates vying for the remaining three spots.
Despite his astonishing talent in swordsmanship, Aizen's spiritual pressure was only mediocre, making him one of the more visible figures.
As a result, the captain decisively gave his judgment.
Judging by their duties, the 7th Division of the Inner Court Guard, the 9th Division of the Prison Guard, and the 10th Division of the Patrol Guard have a decent combat attendance rate, but they are not as frequent as the 3rd, 5th, and 11th Divisions, which are the most active.
Therefore, in the process of "leveling up by defeating monsters"
In terms of improving their strength, these three teams with 3 points have priority.
This is also because Joe Higashi demonstrated his combat strength, and even with Kenpachi (the tenth generation) as the vice-captain, he was still able to squeeze out a spot.
However, Andy's influence is also undeniable.
If the Eleventh Division didn't have enough outstanding talent, given Yamamoto's personality, it would be impossible for him to train Kenpachi Onijin, who had already been decided to be abandoned, even though he was considered a pseudo-high-end combatant in Soul Society.
Otherwise, Yamamoto originally planned to give the last spot to the village as compensation, since Oike Aoi had just died and they were short of a vice-captain.
However, the last spot was not immediately filled at the meeting that day.
Even after making the decision, old man Yamamoto was clearly still pondering and hesitating.
Coincidentally, Andy was born during those seven days.
Aizen Senzaemon displayed "Blue Forest" a week ago.
With such power, seven days was enough time for the news to spread, and these high-ranking figures probably learned of it on the very first day.
Who the murderer is is now an open secret. To prevent conflict, the Captain-Commander simply avoided a meeting between Aizen and the village, since Joe's fifth spot has been confirmed.
Besides the team leader himself, all the talents he trains are investigated to ensure they have sufficient talent.
Otherwise, Matsumoto and Senzaemon, both Shinigami academy students, wouldn't have been qualified for selection. However, given their talent and connections, everything fell into place naturally.
After carefully observing the people brought by each captain, Captain-Commander Yamamoto nodded to himself.
"That's right. If you select any unsuitable candidates, I will immediately replace them."
His indifferent, hoarse words sent a chill down the spines of Byakuya Kuchiki and the other newbies.
The captain's opening remarks were a show of force.
The five team leaders, however, all wore expressions of ease and confidence, confident that the people they had brought were excellent enough.
And that is indeed the case.
Even Ōmaeda and Rangiku's talents aren't bad. While their spiritual pressure isn't outstanding, it's at least excellent. Whether or not they can become excellent captains, they have the basic qualifications to master D-type attacks.
Having this qualification means having the capital to be recorded in the history of Soul Society; every Shinigami with D-type Deliverance will be recorded in history.
"Perfect timing, let me introduce you to this... Andy, the Third Seat."
"Dongzhang!"
I wasn't feeling well yesterday and slept for fifteen hours.
Chapter 316 Damn, it's confirmed 3/3
Upon hearing Andy's name, Aizen Senzaemon secretly perked up.
Speaking of the Captain-Commander's show of force, only two people were truly nervous: he and Byakuya Kuchiki, simply because they were facing... "the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years."
It was just a subconscious sense of awe.
With their talent, they weren't worried about being sent back to be replaced. As for Andy, he remained calm and composed, completely baffled by the unexpected arrival of Dong Zhang and Andy.
How did those two even get into Soul Society? Even if you didn't yell "Ora Ora Ora!"...
"Wood big wood big wood big"
So, at least it should be "hoohoo ha hey" (a sound effect similar to "barking up" or "haha").
"Wah-cha"
That style, I guess.
Is it really appropriate for characters from action-packed fighting games to infiltrate this world full of cool and collected characters?
This world possesses the ability to defeat someone who has painstakingly learned a solution without sustaining a scratch, yet it still declares, "Well done, your minions have indeed touched me."
The big white king.
There was also anger stemming from being deceived, as expressed by the "930" incident.
Even when he loses his mind, he can still solemnly preach to others, "Don't be afraid of being deceived, because this world is built on deception."
The newbie king.
Of course, we also have the shortest yet most prestigious character in this world, who are absolutely invincible! Almost every character in this world who can use a D-type Deliverance or Resurrection Blade has spent points on showing off.
Even "d solution"
These two words themselves exude a strong air of pretentiousness.
Aside from Bleach, Nurarihyon no Mago is also a story about a protagonist who travels around showing off with his henchmen. The art style aligning with Bleach isn't too bad, but it definitely feels out of place when it comes to King of Fighters! "Okay, this is my friend from my previous life, Andy Bogard, born in the United States, who studied under the Shiranui school."
As always, Joe was straightforward. He pushed out Andy, who looked disgusted, and praised him, "If we're talking about when he was alive, I never beat him."
Of course, he's no match for me now!
Andy glanced sideways:
What are you bragging about? Believe me or not, I can still beat you down right now.
Andy Bogard's strength: + Talent: + Abilities: Zanpakuto Shiranui+, Kido intermediate, Kendo beginner, Shunpo proficient, Hakuda top-tier+, Bajiquan, Bone Technique+, Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu, Shiranui-ryu, Gangrin, Baoshu, Flying Fist, Rising Dragon Bullet, Hollow Bullet, Zanpakutō, Ultimate Technique: Phantom Shiranui, Super Ultimate Technique: Flying Meteor Fist+, Super Ultimate Technique: Super Rippaki Bullet+, Burst Ki+ This Andy was purchased by Aizen for 100,000 Shadow Emperor Points.
Therefore, his starting ability was high! At first glance, it seems that most of his abilities are not as high as Joe's at the beginning, but his final few special moves and burst attacks are obviously of a higher level than Joe Higashi's.
Especially "Phantom Shiranui"
He's turned what was once a useless skill into a deadly weapon.
Compared to Joe Higashi in '94, this Andy comes from '97, the year Orochi revived.
In the game, Andy is weak, but in reality, he is much stronger than Joe Higashi. Aside from practicing Bajiquan for a short time and finding it unsuitable for him, he combined bone techniques and ninjutsu, achieving "dual cultivation of magic and martial arts."
French war figures.
Joe Higashi's Muay Thai is known as the Eight-Limbed Boxing Style, while Andy's fighting style is that his entire body is a weapon—"Andy, the All-Weapon."
This is a greater advantage in skills at the same level.
Secondly, Andy's talent surpasses that of Joe Higashi, indicating that Andy's physical condition is superior to Joe's at the same stage. After the Orochi incident in 97 and the gap in 94, it became even greater.
Under these circumstances, it's not surprising that Andy had the ability in 97.
Looking back at the true backgrounds of those characters from 97, aside from Orochi and the three awakened states of the Orochi Four Heavenly Kings, the strongest were Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami.
However, even without divine weapons or cheat codes, they aren't the only ones in the strongest tier; there's also the protagonist of Art of Fighting, "Invincible Dragon."
Ryo Sakazaki and the protagonist of Fatal Fury, "The Legendary Wolf".
Trebogard.
The four main characters, all around 44, represent the highest level of the standard.
Secondly, there are several supporting male characters who are second only to the main characters.
For example, there's Benimaru Nikaido, the genius who narrowly lost to Kyoto due to carelessness, and the second male lead of Art of Fighting, known as "The Strongest Tiger."
Robert Garcia, and Andy, the second male lead in Fatal Fury.
Of course, figures like Yamazaki Ryuji and the martial arts master Chin Gentsai wouldn't be much weaker.
These people can all be considered second-tier top-tier figures, second only to the first tier. Moreover, in their respective story backgrounds, the three second male leads and the three main characters are equally famous or on par with each other.
However, by 97, a certain gap had widened, which Aizen considered to be a difference in talent.
Benimaru's talent should be on par with Terry Bogard and Ryo Sakazaki, and even higher. This is because Kyo Kusanagi, who is being compared to him, is definitely more talented than Terry Bogard and Ryo Sakazaki. The other two main characters, Robert and Andy, are slightly less talented. However, the difference in strength was not obvious in 97. With Benimaru's talent, he could only be ranked as a second-tier top-tier character in 97. This was mainly because he and Kyo Kusanagi were relatively young.
The King of Fighters series starts in '94, Fatal Fury is set in '91, and Art of Fighting has an unclear timeline; the game is set in '92, but its setting is before Fatal Fury.
After saying all that, there's only one core point.
Andy is incredibly strong! After transforming into a Grim Reaper, he immediately became a + level, automatically comprehending the D-level solution.
It's just not as cost-effective as Joe Higashi, since his talent is only a "+", meaning it's a high-priced purchase rather than a cheap find compared to Joe Higashi.
Unfortunately, Aizen didn't think much of the remaining two.
Fairy Tail's Josephola and Street Fighter's Ken—the former would definitely look down on the latter, who is a supporting character, but his status is only equivalent to Andy's in Fatal Fury.
As for the King of Fighters' rival, the Street Fighter universe isn't as strong as the King of Fighters universe. It's hard to judge whether Ken's talent can compare to Andy's. However, converting the Street Fighter system definitely won't be as profitable as converting the King of Fighters system.
"I remember that Captain Dongzhang seemed to have strength no less than that of the seated officer when he was alive."
Could it be that human martial arts in the modern world are that powerful?
Gin Ichimaru, with a beaming smile, suddenly spoke, his tone completely devoid of any questioning intent.
But these words always give the impression of malicious targeting, as if they are questioning the other person's identity.
Thing 3.
In fact, this is also a question raised by others.
Although Joe Higashi's name is a bit strange, he is Japanese, while Andy seems to be a foreigner.
Although the original Third Division Captain Rojuro Otori and First Division Vice-Captain Chojiro Sasakibe both looked like foreigners, their names and identities were clearly Japanese.
"Hey, what are you saying?"
"Okay, let me speak."
Stopping the displeased Joe Higashi, Andy's eyes turned cold: "I've only been a Shinigami for a few days now. If you want to test my Shiranui Style, why don't you come and try it yourself?"
Aizen Senzaemon sighed silently.
Shiranui Ryuu Nima, this isn't just a coincidence of names, this is solid proof!
Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading
Chapter 317 The Powerful Soul of a Fighter (Part 1/3)
Provoked, Gin Ichimaru squinted and raised his hands in surrender.
"Forget it, I wouldn't dare to easily spar with a man even stronger than Captain Higashi Joe. But you don't need to pretend you don't understand what I mean."
As he spoke, Gin Ichimaru's tone gave off a malicious vibe.
However, everyone shared the same question.
Foreigners are not unusual in Soul Society, but the vast majority are local residents, not introduced from the dead in the mortal world.
This doesn't mean that the Grim Reaper doesn't bring foreign spirits to the Soul Society; it's just that in the pre-developed era, very few foreigners came to Japan, and even fewer died there.
This directly resulted in a very small number of people being able to be introduced.
Note: Do not apply the settings from the previous book to this one. In the previous book, the Grim Reaper only extradited Japanese people, but this one is different.
In fact, people like Rojuro Touhou must have had European or American genes in their ancestors. For example, if a European or American wandering spirit was brought to Soul Society and intermarried with the natives for many generations, it is normal for Rojuro Touhou, who has a few tens of percent European or American blood, to show signs of atavism in appearance.
However, what's truly strange is the aptitude! As everyone knows, becoming a Shinigami 01 requires sufficient spiritual pressure aptitude! But most undead in reality are illusory, without legs, floating in the air, and their spirit bodies are unstable. Only in a world like Soul Society, where spiritual particles are highly concentrated, can their spirit bodies become stable.
Even those with intact bodies find it difficult to truly touch the things that exist in the world, meaning they possess ordinary qualities that cannot influence reality.
Of course, there is no shortage of talented souls among humans; those rare gifted individuals are often potential "Fullbringers."
If their spiritual pressure talent isn't high, they wouldn't be qualified to awaken the Fullbring Technique.
However, considering the population size of a country, the proportion of geniuses is extremely rare! The number of talented people in the country itself is pitifully small, let alone the fact that one of those few foreigners happens to be a super genius.
Because of this operation, the team leaders who previously knew nothing about monsters and supernatural beings learned more about the truth of the world during the week-long meeting.
