176

Jinnai Doukou explains that bakoutou blades consume spiritual energy to boost strength, then eats his weapon to fire blades from his back. Uryuu battles Kuzuryuu, who utilizes bakoutou to transform into mist. Meanwhile, Chad confronts Genba, who employs a rock wall-forming bakoutou similar to a previous assassin. Chad repeatedly shatters the walls with energy blasts, but Genba fuses with the debris to launch surprise attacks from behind. This confrontation occurs during the New Captain Shuusuke Amagai arc, specifically episode 9/22, highlighting the dangerous nature of these spirit-draining weapons.
