Wow!! Kira is so badass!! He looks so cool in this episode!When I first saw the fight in the manga, I was pretty shocked that Kira actually cut off Avirama's head. Kira looks like the merciful type of person and I never thought that he would be so cold and merciless to his opponent. I love the words he says at the end of the episode and the piano accompaniment brings out the mood very well. It makes him look totally cool! I also like the piano piece which is played when Kira is explaining about his 3rd Division's ideals.Mini SummaryYumichika vs Charlotte CuuhlhourneCuuhlhourne thinks that he was defeated by Yumichika’s bankai, but Yumichika reveals that it was only his Zanpakutou’s true form. Yumichika's Zanpakutou's name is Ruriiro Kujaku, a kidou-type Zanpakutou. Since the 11th Division has an unspoken rule that Zanpakutou should only be used for direct attack, Yumichika keeps his Zanpakutou's true form a secret. According to himself, he would risk dying to hide his Zanpakutou's true power. To conceal it, he releases with the name Fuji Kujaku, which annoys his katana and causes it to take up a weakened form consisting of a sickle-shaped blade which can split into four identical blades.Kira vs AviramaAvirama's released form is that of a big steel bird. He is able to fire steel feathers from a distance. Kira has a hard time fighting him from a distance and so he tries to bring the fight to inside a building. However, Avirama continues firing from the sky and his steel feathers cause the building to collapse. Avirama then tries to attack Kira directly. Fortunately for Kira, this is exactly what he wants because his Zanpakutou is most useful in close combat. Kira manages to hit Avirama's feathers 4 times and Avirama gets weighed down by his very heavy steel feathers. Kira reveals that his Zanpakutou goes along with the ideals of the 3rd division: battles are not heroic and enjoyable but rather are full of despair. Though Avirama manages to get up again, Kira knocks him down again and prepares to cut off his head with Wabisuke’s hook-shaped blade. Avirama tries to plead for mercy, but Kira asserts that warriors don’t beg for their lives, and he has no hesitation to kill Avirama. After that, he bids farewell to his opponent and hopes that he’s not forgiven.PicturesYumichika vs Charlotte CuuhlhourneKira vs AviramaMarigold - 3rd Division's Symbol Kira's Zanpakutou - WabisukeKira: 'Farewell, Warrior of the Sky.
