Never Knows Best

Ikkaku still faces Edrad. Edrad says that blades won’t affect them because they have a steel skin (Hiero), and that’s their armor. Then Yumichika came and Keigo recognizes him. Keigo asks if he would help his friend, but Yumichika won’t help him, because he knew the way that this thing would turn out, and it’s already been decided.

Ikkaku and Edrad still fight on each other. Edrad is channeling his Reiatsu plainly on his hand fighting Ikkaku. Edrad then released his “Allankar Zanpakutou”. Because of the release of his “Allankar Zanpakutou”, Edrad arms and up to his shoulders became very armored. Edrad then introduced himself to Ikkaku. He is — Allankar # 13 (Decimotercero) Edrad Rineosu.
