Sweet new art from Kubo-sensei! Ichigo sports his sweet new look: "Cut through the moment!!"
A quick recap color page from last chapter shows up. We see a glimpse of Aizen, and a shattered something in the darkness.
Welcome to Deicide 21, Bleach Chapter 421.
A blast, footsteps. Ichigo loses part of his outfit, and he glances at a broken Aizen on the ground. "...Still regenerating?..." Ichigo says, but suddenly he begins to lose more of his previous appearance, noting to himself that he is losing his shinigami powers. Aizen rises up from the ground, saying, "You've lost, Kurosaki Ichigo. Look. My zanpakuto is disappearing. You should know what that means.
THE HOGYOKU HAS DECIDED THAT I DO NOT REQUIRE A ZANPAKUTO! Just like you, who has become one with your zanpakuto and its powers. No - I am now rising far higher than you, who has lost that very power. YOU'RE FINISHED, KUROSAKI ICHIGO!"
But suddenly, kidou attacks him, and Urahara Kisuke jumps back into play! He says that he hid a kidou when Aizen's guard was down. "That was the seal. Thinking that it would be pretty much impossible to kill you once you fused with the hogyoku, I developed a new kidou in order to seal you."
Just when Aizen bursts into another angry rage, his powers begin to deteriorate. Urahara explains that the hogyoku no longer sees Aizen as its master, and Aizen begins to yell furiously. Kisuke explains that without the spirit king, aka the "lynchpin", the Soul Society would split and crumble. Aizen replies that it is the logic of a loser, that you should not think of the way the world is, but the way it should be.
"I--"
A long pause and Ichigo looks away, as the final sealing begins.
See you next chapter!
