Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"It's just like I said, Komamura."

"The other ten kings are not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Besides, I, Yami Rialgo, am the only one who has no followers or subordinates of my own."

He cast a loving glance at the puppy Kukaburo, who was licking the plate, and then turned his gaze back to Komamura Sajin's face.

"I don't want any of my brothers to die, and I don't want you to die in vain."

"So, please stay here and enjoy the food and wine."

"Until everything is settled."

Ya Mi patiently persuaded him. On the back of the heavy classic in his hand were printed two numbers: [10].

Chapter 32 Why are you angry?

Upon hearing this, Komamura Sajin said sternly:

"Mr. Yami, I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

"Although I haven't been with you for long, I already know that you are a kind and righteous person."

"I don't want to conflict with you."

Ya Mi laughed out loud:

"I admire you too, Komamura."

"But you must know that not everything in this world can go as you wish."

"Well, as long as you can defeat me, or if you can master your own 'anger', I will allow you to leave."

Komamura Sajin frowned and asked doubtfully:

"Master your own 'anger'?"

"Yes, I can feel your anger."

Ya Mi raised a finger and said confidently:

"And no one in Hueco Mundo understands anger better than me."

He put down his hand and walked out of the monastery:

"The black-armored warrior you summoned is tall and mighty, as if he possesses immense strength."

"But in front of me, you are vulnerable. Do you know why?"

Komamura Zuozhen followed a few steps and asked in confusion:

"Ever since I awakened my Zanpakutō, and even my Bankai, I've been using 'Heaven's Punishment' and 'Black Rope Heaven's Punishment Myooh' in this way..."

"But I've never felt the problem you're talking about."

Yami walked out of the door, then took out a knife from the door lintel and said:

"So your sword is called 'Divine Punishment'. What a beautiful name that embodies anger."

He raised his sword and showed it to Komamura:

"Coincidentally, although the method may be a little different from your Death God, my sword is called 'Angry Beast'."

"But look, am I angry at all?"

Yami spread his hands and asked happily.

Komamura Sajin frowned:

"You are indeed a noble man of courtesy and restraint. The word 'angry beast' has nothing to do with you."

Yami laughed heartily and continued walking out, motioning Komamura to follow him:

"Actually, I liked you very much from the first moment I saw you."

“It’s like seeing my past self.”

"When I was a Hollow, I was a true 'angry beast', knowing only to roar and rage."

"But that's actually useless. I'm still as weak as a bug."

His eyes fell on the heavy book in his hands, revealing a bit of nostalgia:

“Then, I met our Savior.”

"She told me, 'Impotent rage is the worst!'"

"I was beaten down by her countless times, and each time was extremely humiliating and unbearable."

"Then I exploded into even greater rage, but it still didn't help."

"Until I was no longer able to be angry, and my body was bursting with rage, unable to hold on any longer."

"She taught me that if I wanted my anger to be truly useful, I had to understand two things for myself."

He raised a finger:

"First, what are you angry about?"

"I was once extremely weak. Out of anger, I killed a Hollow stronger than myself and devoured it to evolve."

"Depending on this kind of anger, I grew from an ordinary Hollow to a Great Hollow."

"But she told me that my anger was meaningless and just the impotent rage of a weak person."

"If a truly powerful person wanted to kill me, it would be no more difficult than stepping on a caterpillar."

"After burning away all my anger, I finally figured it out. I simply hated my own weakness and didn't want to be mocked by others. I wanted to take my destiny firmly into my own hands."

"Under her teachings, I established this monastery and practiced asceticism with Kukabul, rarely interacting with others."

"Once I understood why I was getting angry, I was able to distance myself and look at the anger objectively."

Ya Mi talked a lot and walked a long way. The big man and the big dog had already arrived at an open space in the distance.

"And you, Komamura?"

"Why are you angry?"

Yami turned around and asked Komamura in a calm voice why he was angry.

"I?"

"Uh...Mr. Yami, I don't think I'm angry."

A finger stopped Komamura Sajin from speaking.

Ya Mi said confidently:

"I've said it before, no one understands anger better than me."

"Look again, where are we?"

Komamura Saejin looked around and found a large sand pit created by the shock wave - that was his landing point.

On the sand nearby, there was still a huge human-shaped pit left when [Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King] fell.

Ya Mi walked to the edge of the pit, picked up a handful of gravel, rubbed it, and then brought it to his nose and sniffed it:

"Here you are, attacking me in anger. I can smell what your anger is."

"Well, panic, anger, anxiety..."

"Hmm? Hate?"

Yami seemed to have discovered something, and stood up, sniffing the "smell of anger" carefully:

"Hate the contemptuous looks of others? Hate your own inhuman appearance?"

He was suddenly extremely surprised, turned around and asked Komamura with a shocked face:

"Are dogs bad? They're so cute!"

Komamura Sajin: ...

Are you polite?

"It's a wolf!"

“That’s a dog too!!”

With a deep sigh, Komamura Sajin explained:

"It really is a wolf."

"I am a werewolf, born with a wolf's head and a human body, covered in fur. That's why I've been looked down upon and resented by others."

Yami nodded:

"I see, that makes sense."

"You are angry at the gazes of others, but ultimately, this anger is directed at your own appearance."

"With such internalized anger, it's no wonder your power is what it is."

Ya Mi pointed at the big pit and said:

"You suddenly attacked me, but I didn't want to hurt you, so I only fought back against the black-armored warrior you summoned."

"Who knew that my attack would actually bounce back on you?"

"This frightened me. I will take you to the monastery immediately. I will make some broth and bring some beer from the cellar to treat you."

Komamura Sajin was speechless for a long time, then said in a self-deprecating tone:

"Maybe you're right, Mr. Yami. I'm really angry about my appearance, and I don't even realize it."

“The prejudice in people’s hearts is a huge mountain.”

"Everyone hated the way I looked. The first friend I even made was a blind person."

"Before I left, there was also someone like you who I respect who beat me up so badly that I was half-awake."

Thinking of Soi Fong smashing his helmet to pieces, Komamura Sajin smiled gratefully.

Then he added:

"To be honest, Mr. Yami, I was very sad when I learned the name of my Zanpakuto, which was called [Heaven's Punishment]."

"It's as if even my Zanpakutō is telling me that I am being punished by God for existing in this state."

Ya Mi smiled when he heard this:

"I was once like that, limited and defined by the name 'Angry Beast'."

"But I later realized that the anger in everyone's heart is a 'raging beast,' and controlling it is the practice that everyone should strive for."

"And my 'Angry Beast' has since truly become a sword in my hand."

Yami raised the knife in his hand and showed it to Komamura:

The "Angry Beast" lay quietly in its sheath, tightly grasped by a rock-like palm.

Chapter 33 Why are you angry?

After hearing this, Komamura Sajin looked down at his Zanpakutō.

"Divine Punishment" was being put back into its sheath and hung at the side of the waist in a shallow striking form.

Komamura frowned and thought for a moment before asking:

"Are you trying to tell me that the name 'Divine Punishment' doesn't represent my destiny, but is something I should control?"

Yami nodded approvingly and said:

"Komamura, I haven't spent much time with you either, but I like you very much and admire you. I'd like to give you the same words you gave me."

"You are a kind and righteous man."

"Being alienated from others, facing contempt and abuse, and living with resentment, naturally leads to anger."

"But you didn't vent your anger on these people. Instead, you understood them and hid your anger in your heart. You used it as a way to punish yourself and continue to consume yourself."
