Szayel

Basic Information

Name: Szayel Granz

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Rank: Ex Espada

Number: 8

Looks: Szayel has shoulder-length pink hair and amber eyes. The remains of his Hollow mask take the form of rectangular-framed glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance. The placement of his Hollow hole and Espada number tattoo are both unknown. Most of the Arrancar have his/her Hollow hole on the torso or face, however this is not the case for Szayel. Even after having the entire upper half of his body exposed, no hole or number tattoo can be seen.

His clothes differ from the original Arrancar uniform. Instead of a normal jacket, Szayel wears a long shirt that covers all of the skin up to the top of his neck. On his hands, he wears white gloves. He wears the regular pants, with slight length taken away, making them shorter than the others. His face is the only part of his body that is exposed in this uniform. It should also be noted that when he changes his clothes prior to performing his Resurrección, he sports a cape-like garment.

When he was demoted from the Espada, his appearance was slightly different compared to his appearance in the original story. His hair was messier and the three lines on his uniform dropped to his right hip, instead of to the left, right and middle.

Hollow Hole: Unknown

Mask Fragment: The remains of his Hollow mask take the form of rectangular-framed glasses.

Number Tattoo: Unknown

Personality: Szayel is a meticulous intellectual and the scientist of the Espada. Unlike all the other Espada, Szayel is highly narcissistic, extremely flamboyant, and tends to make lewd, disturbing comments about his opponents. Szayel is quite sadistic and views others as little more than research material. He thinks poorly of non-Hollows, and hopes that Aizen will someday wipe all non-Hollows out of existence. He also thinks of himself as an actor, especially when toying with his victims.

He seems to have had a less-than-positive relationship with his older brother, Yylfordt. While he did try to heal him after his battle with Renji, he refers to Yylfordt's death as Renji merely breaking a box of parasites, and says that he wouldn't be so childish as to be upset over that.

He boasts that he is a "perfect being," since he is capable of reproducing himself in another person's body, and thus, views himself as immortal. During his final moments alive, Mayuri gives a speech about his view on perfection and also indirectly ridicules Szayel's qualification as a scientist. Its ultimate impact on Szayel breaks his resolve as a scientist, leading him to literally beg for his death to come quickly while affected with Mayuri's superhuman drug.

Techniques

Name: Sonído

State: Normal

Description: Sonído is a technique used by Arrancar which allows them to move at extreme speeds, making it highly similar to the Hohō that Shinigami use. While somewhat similar to Hohō, Sonído appears to be more instinctual than Hohō, requiring no previous knowledge to perform. It also makes a different sound; rather than the swishing or sometimes silent Flash Step of the Shinigami, Sonído makes a booming or static sound.

Name: Hierro

State: Normal

Description: Hierro is an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a Zanpakutō. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami barehanded.

Name: Resurrección

State: Ressurrecion

Description: Szayel releases his Zanpakutō by calling out its command and then swallowing it, and in doing so, he emits a glow from his mouth. His body then swells to enormous proportions and releases spiritual energy, which then fills in immediate vicinity in a fine mist as he transforms, revealing Szayel's released form. In his released form, the lower half of his body becomes a multitude of purple tentacles reminiscent of a sea anemone. His feet extend from under the tentacles, which are then replaced by a layered dress-like garment. His upper torso becomes a gray segmented form-fitting garment with white sleeves extending from the elbow and down to a wide opening at the wrist. Three, small, dark purple extensions extend from the elbow, while four, long, dark purple strands that look like falling drops hang from the underside of the sleeve itself. His hands become white and his fingertips become slightly elongated and purple. His hair gets various purple drop-like strands as well. His Hollow mask takes the form of a headdress that forms a thin band across his forehead as well as what appears to be half the bottom structure of his Hollow mask "glasses," which is attached on either side of his head with fan-like coverings. His left eye gains purple markings that take the shape of four lines on the top and bottom. He also grows four, very large, gray branch structures from his back, two on each side, forming a shape similar to the wings of a butterfly. Each branch has twelve, equally-spaced, red strands that look like falling drops. These strands can expand out, becoming thicker until they look similar to feathers, giving them the appearance of actual wings similar to that of a bird. He can use them as a protective shield by wrapping them around himself in the form of a ball. The branches can elongate at will.

Name: Carbon-Copy

State: Ressurrecion

Description: Carbon-Copy: He can unleash a massive amount of black liquid from his body out of his back. When droplets of the liquid spraying from his body touch an opponent, a copy of them is created that uses their own individual abilities against them. Since he fires such a vast amount of the liquid upwards, it is nearly impossible for his opponents to dodge or evade the attack. Szayel occasionally alters these clones' appearances to make them more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, he changed Dondochakka's clones so that he did not have spots, and Pesche Guatiche's wore pants as opposed to a loincloth; he did not, however, change Renji's or Uryū's appearance. As they are defeated, the clones break apart and multiply, adding to their numbers. He can disperse the clones at will, and they seem to have no free-will or thoughts of their own.

Name: Voo-doo Doll

State: Ressurrecion

Description: By grabbing an opponent with one of his "wings" and then spitting them out, one of the strands of his "wings" becomes engorged and bursts with purple liquid, creating a small doll that has the victim's likeness.Szayel apparently absorbs some of the victim's spiritual power in the process. Uryū Ishida was noticeably disoriented after the process, and Szayel stated, "Thanks for the feast." Any damage done to the dolls' internal organs, accessed by taking them apart and removing the organs (with no damage to the original), is done to the original, debilitating them from the inside. The doll's exterior has some effect on the victim, as seen when Uryū felt him scratch his doll's face. All the organs have their name written on them in Spanish. The only person able to overcome this ability was 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, which he did by replacing all of his organs with "dummies."


Name: Possession

State: Ressurrecion

Description:Should he be eaten, Szayel can gain control of the attacker's nervous system, allowing him to gain complete control of their body. Szayel only used this once against Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō, forcing the Zanpakutō to attack its master. The effect of control acts as a form of will over that which is possessed. Once again, Mayuri was the only one to defeat this technique, as he prepared for such an event, self-destructing his Bankai into its sealed state.

Name: Gabriel

State: Ressurrecion

Description:Gabriel: His final ability allows him to be reborn if he is injured beyond repair by "impregnating" an enemy. When he has physical contact with the victim he can implant a portion of himself inside their body. He then "devours" his way out of their body, by way of absorbing all the fluids and chemicals of the victim killing them in the process, like an insect leaving a cocoon or husk when he matures and develops his body back in a matter of seconds from a liquid-like casing coming from the victim's mouth. Szayel takes great pride in this ability, comparing it to that of a phoenix, pretentiously proclaiming himself a "perfect being" because of it. It was used on Nemu Kurotsuchi, but despite Szayel's remarks on killing the victim, she survived. Most likely, if it was not for her body being a Gigai created by her father, she would have died


History and RP Sample

History:
Sometime in the past Szayel Aporro Granz (who was not an Espada at the time) helped Nnoitra Jiruga perform a sneak attack on Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck. Nnoitra notes that at this point, Szayel had lost his position as an Espada, and presumably reclaimed it before his introduction. In order to help Nnoitra to defeat Nelliel, Szayel used a device that created an illusion of Nnoitra which distracted Nel's attention. By exploiting the opportunity, Nnoitra attacked Nelliel and she was hit from behind causing a wound to her head and her mask to break on the front left side. The attack scarred her forehead and left her unconscious. He took her unconscious body and stated that she would probably call this an act of a beast but it didn't matter any to him. He was approached from behind by Szayel who asked if there was anything else to which Nnoitra responded that his job was already over. Szayel asked him if he needed to be so cold as they worked as partners, for that he should at least be allowed to admire their end. Nnoitra detailed that he doesn't remember being his partner and that they just happened to have the same motives. Nnoitra threw Nelliel off the side of Las Noches so that he could increase his power by the time she returned. Nnoitra told Szayel they were going, but Szayel told him that he would appreciate it if he lost the presumptuous tone, but Nnoitra told him that he wasn't even an Espada anymore. Szayel stated that if not for the equipment that he prepared Nnoitra wouldn't even have had the chance to attack Nelliel and then asked if he should really be speaking to him that way. Nnoitra looked over the side of Las Noches at Nelliel and her Fracción's prone bodies and was surprised as she reverted into a child. Szayel noted that he had not anticipated this and he had never seen anything like it before. He deduced that her reiatsu was leaking out of the wound on her mask, and her spiritual body shrank as a result.

He first appears during Aizen's meeting with the Espada about Ichigo Kurosaki, Yasutora Sado, and Uryū Ishida entering Hueco Mundo to save Orihime Inoue. He sits between Baraggan Luisenbarn and Zommari Leroux and complains about the intruders along with Aaroniero Arruruerie, Yammy Riyalgo, Baraggan and Nnoitra. After the Exequias seemingly kill Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio, Aizen asks who ordered the Exequias to attack Ichigo. Szayel claims responsibility, but Aizen forgives him, asking if Dordonii's body was of benefit to this research.

He then decides to introduce himself as the octava Espada, Szayel Aporro Granz. As Renji remembers what the Espada are, he hears Dondochakka yelling and he wonders why he still hasn't fallen. Renji moves away from the hole he's in front of to dodge him, but another hole forms at his new location and Dondochakka falls directly on top of him. Dondochakka complains about how scary it was to be falling through the hole until he notices Szayel. As he states that he's the top researcher and spiritual weapons development specialist in Hueco Mundo, Renji asks him if this explanation is meant to be for him. Dondochakka is surprised that he's sitting on Renji and he asks him what he's doing there. Renji simply kicks him away and the two begin arguing until Szayel tells them to stop talking. Renji threateningly looks at him and Szayel tells him to calm down, explaining that he doesn't have high combat abilities despite the fact that he's an Espada. He then goes on to explain exactly who he is until Renji tells him that he doesn't want to hear his life story and that he came here to defeat his enemies.

Renji activates his Bankai, Hihiō Zabimaru, but it ends up vanishing immediately. Szayel explains that in this room he can't use his Bankai because he knows everything about it, and because of that he was able to make a device in this room to nullify it. Renji is confused by this as only people who fought against him would know his Bankai, but Szayel explains that his brother is Yylfordt Granz, which shocks Renji. Szayel thanks him for remembering his brother but then goes on to explain that the reason he targeted him isn't for revenge. He states that he put spirit recording insects on Yylfordt, allowing him to know everything that he knew. He then tells Renji that he has no way to win and he unsheathes his Zanpakutō, explaining that he's excited since this is the first time he has fought a Bankai user and he tells him to keep his body as intact as possible.

After battling a bit, with Renji releasing his Zanpakutō, Lumina and Verona enter the room yelling that Aaroniero Arruruerie was killed. Szayel says that he was so preoccupied with his battle that he didn't notice. He then tells Renji the news that an Espada and Rukia both killed each other in battle. This angers Renji, causing him to swing his Zanpakutō at Szayel, but it is easily blocked. Szayel tells him that he can't beat him by only using Shikai, but Renji puts more force behind his attack, lightly injuring him. Renji swings his Zanpakutō again, but as it hits the ground, Szayel steps on it, breaking a small piece off. He throws it for Lumina and Verona to play with and goes up to Renji, telling him that he's lost interest in his abilities. He then sends his Fracción out and explains that he modified them. He then gets bored and decides to have them finish Renji off. Medazeppi decides to attack Renji, and ends up sending him flying across the room. He then grabs Renji and smashes him onto the floor of the room. As this is happening, Lumina and Verona want to join in but Szayel tells them not to interfere and that he wants to see a nice epilogue to this battle. Medazeppi goes to grab Renji again but this time Renji brings his Zanpakutō to his hand and makes a minor cut across it. Medazeppi begins screaming in pain and Szayel commends Renji for lasting this long, but states that now things are going to be problematic as there's no controlling Medazeppi now. Medazeppi begins smashing everything around him and Renji begins to desperately dodge his attacks. As this is happening, Szayel states that it's a shame that by the end of this Renji's body won't be in perfect condition. All of a sudden Medazeppi is attacked and killed by someone. This person states that it's unfortunate that the walls aren't made of Sekkiseki and as the dust clears Uryū Ishida is shown, and he tells Renji that he's looking bad right now.

The Fracción start cursing Uryū for killing Medazeppi and Uryū wonders how powerful they are. Pesche Guatiche, who came with Uryū as well, asks him if they were scared by his entrance but Uryū tells him to be quiet or the tension will be lost. All of a sudden Szayel yells at his Fracción to stop talking and states that his new guest would like to say something. Uryū thanks him for his consideration and asks Szayel if he's an Espada. Szayel states his full name and rank to him, but because of this Uryū doesn't believe he's a threat due to his low number. Szayel counters by saying that he's still stronger than him, but then asks Uryū who he is. Uryū states that he's a Quincy, which causes Szayel to laugh madly at the fact that he has now gotten to meet both a Bankai user and a Quincy in the same day. He then states that if he were Yammy Riyalgo he would be shouting "suerte" right now. As this is happening Uryū immediately appears behind Szayel and tells him that he feels like shouting "suerte" as well because he has gotten to fight an opponent who is full of openings. He then shoots an arrow straight at Szayel, which ends up piercing his throat and causing Szayel to fall onto his knees. As his Fracción go to his aid, the arrow piercing Szayel disappears and he begins laughing madly again. Szayel tells him that he's foolish in thinking that his arrow had pierced him and explains that he knew about his fight with Cirucci Sanderwicci, allowing him to analyze all of his abilities. Uryū begins fighting against Szayel's Fracción but his arrows don't do any damage to them. His bow eventually disappears and one of the Fracción takes this opportunity to punch Uryū but his blow is blocked by Renji, who asks Uryū if he knows any way of beating this guy. Uryū tells him that he does and the two of them decide to team up.

Uryū asks Renji how long he can hold him but Renji states that it's 20 seconds maximum. However, Uryū tells him that that's more than enough time and the two of them begin their plan. Szayel tells his Fracción not to get involved as he's curious as to what they can do in their current state. As this is happening Pesche goes down to the battlefield and gets mad that Uryū isn't here with him since he feels that the funny man isn't funny without the straight man. Pesche then notices Dondochakka stuck in a pile of rocks so he decides to sneak past Szayel's Fracción to get to him. After he gets past them easily, which slightly disappoints him, Dondochakka jumps out of the pile of rocks he was stuck in and begins happily yelling about the fact that Pesche came to save him. Because of this the Fracción seemingly notice them until Pesche spots the battle going on behind the Fracción.

Renji swings his Zanpakutō around his head and then swings it directly at Szayel. Szayel states that this is nothing more than brute force and easily deflects the Zanpakutō. However, Renji runs up to Szayel and grabs him by the neck while at the same time having his Zanpakutō surround and trap them. Renji admits to him that there's no chance of him winning with his current strength but despite that fact, if he were to take damage from this close, it would hurt even him. Renji then begins using Hadō #31. Shakkahō and states that he's always been bad at using Kidō as his spells would always end up exploding. He then tells Szayel that their going to have a contest to see who's tougher and the Kidō spell blows up, damaging the both of them. Renji falls to the ground and Szayel forms a distance between the two of them, getting mad at the fact that a Shinigami is trying to make a fool out of him.

However, Uryū appears behind him and tells him that he knew he would form a distance between himself and Renji, whether the attack succeeded or not. He tells him that he has a habit of going just far enough from his opponents that he can't be attacked but Szayel counters him, saying that Uryū has a habit of attacking people from behind. Szayel then asks him if he thinks he's won and Uryū tells him he has and 5 Seele Schneider's surround Szayel. Szayel states that this is impossible as the reiatsu of his weapons should have been sealed and Uryū tells him that it just shows that there are things in this world that he doesn't know about. He then tells Szayel that he'll explain his situation in his language and says "Hasta aqui". Uryū then pours a drop of spiritual particles where Szayel is and a huge explosion engulfs him.

As the Fracción run up to aid Szayel, Pesche asks Uryū what that technique was. He states that it was Sprenger and explains that using a Seele Schneider and a silver vial you can destroy anything that is in the sketched formation. He continues to explain that Seele Schneider can store spirit particles and that by expanding the stored particles you can draw the Quincy symbol on the ground. Then, if you put a drop of the spirit particles in the symbol, a huge explosion occurs. However, he states that it takes a lot of time to prepare and that you need someone you can trust in battle in order to use it. Renji tells him that flattery will get him nowhere but Uryū assures him that his gratitude is sincere. All of a sudden the dust from the explosion clears up and Szayel is shown to still be alive, but with major injuries. Uryū tells him that he's shocked that he's still standing but Szayel explains that because it was still his reiatsu from the attack, he can minimize the damage. Szayel then picks up Lumina and begins eating him, which ends up recovering him. Verona complains about this but Szayel tells him to be quiet as he can always make another one. Szayel then explains that his Fracción are unique, because if he eats any of them his injuries will be healed. Uryū calls him a monster but Szayel tells him that he would prefer to be called a genius and begins walking away. Uryū asks him where he's going and Szayel states that he's going to change his clothes, which angers him. Szayel simply tells them to think of a plan while he's gone, as he's going to be thinking of one as well.

However, after Szayel leaves, Uryū decides to run away and Dondochakka asks him why. Uryū explains that their objective is to save Orihime Inoue, not to defeat the Espada, especially in a room where they can't use their powers. As they reach the top of a flight of stairs, Renji notes that they have to save Rukia and Yasutora Sado as well. They then enter a room, but it ends up being the same room they were just in. Szayel asks them if they had a nice walk and states that they will now begin the second act of this battle. Szayel explains to them that they should think of this area as his body since he can control the corridors, which was what led them back to this room. He then notes that their expressions are as if this is all a bad joke but he explains that a bad joke is inferior beings such as themselves forcing him to use his full power. Szayel unsheathes his Zanpakutō and swallows the blade, causing his body to expand. His body then goes into it's true form, his Resurrección Fornicarás. Szayel apologizes for making them wait and says that the long-awaited second act can begin, but then rephrases his statement to the second act is now ending.

Black liquid comes out of Szayel's back and spreads around the room. Uryū tells everyone not to touch it, but Dondochakka gets hit by it, causing another Dondochakka to form. Uryū and Renji get hit by it as well, causing clones of them to form too. Szayel explains that these clones contain all of their abilities, but he tells them not to worry as he has now removed the seal on their powers. He then tells them to fight all out and Uryū notes that this truly is a "bad joke". Dondochakka charges at Uryū telling him he's scared but Uryū dodges him, causing Dondochakka to get mad as he just wanted to cling on to him. As Uryū states that his clinging looks like an attack, several Dondochakka clones attack them and they barely dodge the blow. Uryū tells him he was right in thinking it was an attack but Dondochakka states that this isn't the time to be doing things like this and that they should be looking for Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck. Uryū tells him that they will right after this but Dondochakka explains that they have to do it right now as he's scared of what will happen if she gets any deeper into Las Noches. He and Pesche then sense Nel's reiatsu and states that it's nostalgic.

Renji, Pesche, and Dondochakka continue battling the clones but they end up getting confused as to who's who. Uryū asks them what their doing and explains the differences between them and the clones. The Renji and Uryū clones have a different type of skin around their eyes as well as a difference in the quantity of hair, the Dondochakka clone has a different type of dots on its back, and the Pesche clone has counterfeit trousers on. Renji states that this is a pretty big mistake for Szayel to make but Szayel explains that he purposely made them that way because he doesn't like the style any of them have. Renji decides that he has to escape so he decides on a plan and activates his Bankai, Hihiō Zabimaru, but this ends up causing all of the clones to activate their Bankai as well. However, the room their in is destroyed in the process and Renji explains that he did that on purpose and he asks Uryū how high his intellect is. Uryū tells him that he sees no difference between him and Ichigo Kurosaki but Renji doesn't realize that this was meant to be an insult. Renji then states that Szayel is about to get serious and that he's coming straight for them. Szayel appears and tells them that the person who has to report this to Sōsuke Aizen is going to be unhappy. He then gets rid of the clones and states that he's going to show them the true power of his Resurrección.

One of the clones of Renji is still around so Szayel destroys him as well. He then reiterates that he's going to show them his true power but Uryū and Renji have different ideas. They both attack him with their full power at the same time but two large Hollows appear in front of Szayel, guarding him from the blows. Szayel tells them that he's forcing them to participate in this and has one of his wings "eat" Uryū but he is immediately spit out. He then thanks him for the meal and one of the strands of his wings becomes engorged and bursts with purple liquid, creating a small doll of Uryū. Renji asks Uryū if he's all right and he states that he's fine. Szayel holds up the doll and states that this will now be Uryū. He then touches the dolls head, which Uryū feels, and Szayel explains that he has control over all of his senses now. He then flicks the dolls head, slightly injuring Uryū. Szayel decides to then rip the doll in half and Renji begs him to stop. However, he does so anyway but nothing happens to Uryū.

Szayel tells him that he's foolish in thinking that something would happen if he ripped the doll in half and shows that what he really wanted to do was to get to the body parts inside the doll. He takes out something that reads "stomach" on it and breaks it, causing Uryū to cough up blood. As Renji angrily attacks him for what he did, he too gets "eaten" by one of Szayel's wings. Szayel states that everyone gets surprised from just a small thing and states that Humans, Shinigami, and Quincy are all the same and if there's any reason for them to be killed by Aizen, it would be because of their inferiority.

After making a doll of him as well, Renji desperately battles his opponent, who tells him that he should just give up. Renji charges at him but Szayel takes out his left Achilles tendon and destroys it, causing Renji to collapse. Szayel decides that he's going to continue destroying his tendons and tells Renji not to move as he destroys another body part. Renji screams in pain and he reiterates that he shouldn't move as he doesn't want to hurt the two of them too much. All of a sudden Pesche attacks Szayel with his Infinite Slick, which causes him to drop the two dolls allowing Pesche to easily grab them. Dondochakka then arrives and brings out Bawabawa from his mouth, allowing Pesche to jump on top of him. Uryū asks him why Bawabawa came out of his mouth and Pesche explains that he's one of the combat insect spirits that Dondochakka keeps in his body, but they never told Nel because of the possibility that her memories would return. He explains that they didn't want her memories to return because then she would be forced into combat again, but because she has regained her will to fight they decided that they would assist her anyway they can. Pesche then tells Szayel that they don't have time to deal with him and he gets ready for battle.
Szayel separates Pesche's and Dondochakka's Cero Sincrético

Szayel tells Pesche that his attitude is unfitting for a Fracción but is caught off guard when Pesche takes out his Zanpakutō and makes a minor cut across Szayel's arm. Pesche explains that his Zanpakutō is called Última and that it's made from overflowing spirit particles. He tells Uryū that it's just like his weapon but he doesn't spot the similarity. Pesche tells him that it was a pathetic comeback and the two of them argue. However, while their doing this, Szayel decides to have his minions take care of Bawabawa while he himself takes care of Pesche and Dondochakka. The minions go to attack but Dondochakka takes out his own Zanpakutō from his mouth and easily defeats the minions. Pesche explains to Szayel that he made one fatal error, which was looking down on them because they were opponents he had defeated before. He then states that their worlds apart from the level they were at before and Pesche gets on top of Dondochakka to do an original Cero that they created called Cero Sincrético.


However, their attack fails and they wonder why it didn't work. Szayel explains that they allowed him too much time and that because he knew that they were Nel's Fracción, he was able to analyze their reiatsu easily. He states that while their Cero Sincrético is powerful, he already knew that from the start and tells them that the only reason they lost was because they didn't use that technique from the beginning. Szayel then assumes that they have nothing else left and he decides to put an end to this battle. All of a sudden Mayuri Kurotsuchi arrives and Szayel asks him who he is. However, Mayuri feels that he doesn't need to answer this question and is more excited about the Arrancar and Espada living in Hueco Mundo. Uryū asks Mayuri what he's doing in Hueco Mundo but Mayuri pretends not to remember a "low-grade specimen" like him. Szayel tells them to stop arguing with each other and asks Mayuri who he is again, but then retracts his statement as he feels that he's just another being that will be erased by him. However, Mayuri tells him that not being able to hear his name puts him in a difficult situation since he won't be able to properly label him when he bottles him up. Szayel simply laughs at this statement.

Later, Mayuri is shown to be panting heavily and seemingly losing the battle. Szayel is seen holding a doll of Mayuri and as he's breaking body parts, he tells him that it's sad that a captain level Shinigami can do nothing against his abilities. Mayuri begins coughing up blood and Nemu Kurotsuchi, who came with Mayuri as well, watches the battle from the sidelines. Szayel states that his appearance was just for show like he thought, but Mayuri gets up as if nothing happened and says "gotcha". Szayel decides to destroy more of his body parts but it does nothing and Mayuri asks for Nemu to come over to him. Szayel drops the doll he was holding and angrily smashes it to pieces. He then asks Mayuri what ability he has but he tells him that he doesn't have anything like that and states that he put bacteria on Uryū for surveillance purposes, which allowed him to replace all of his body parts with dummies. However, Szayel points out that it should be impossible to do that since he only just revealed his ability less than an hour ago but Mayuri counters him by saying that if it were impossible, then he shouldn't be standing here right now. Uryū interrupts their conversation and complains about everything wrong with putting bacteria on him for surveillance purposes, but Mayuri simply tells him to be quiet. All of a sudden Nemu is grabbed by Szayel and he tells Mayuri that he's a fool for letting his underling get captured, but Nemu tells him that capturing her doesn't make her a hostage. Szayel begins arguing with her and Mayuri is annoyed by all the noise going on. Mayuri decides to activate his Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō and it releases poisonous gas into the air. Szayel attempts to counter this, but it's too late as the Bankai crushes him.

Mayuri faintly hears the battle going on between Kenpachi Zaraki and Nnoitra Jiruga and notes that it sounds as if round two of their battle is about to begin. Mayuri's Bankai then gets up and Renji notes that it's eating Szayel. Renji is then affected by the poison that has just been released and he asks Uryū why he's fine. Uryū says that he must have formed antibodies since he encountered this poison before. He then asks Mayuri for the antidote but just then he too is affected by the poison. Mayuri tells him that he wouldn't be a scientist if he didn't always change his poison, and he states that something like antibodies would never stop him. Uryū tells him that he gets that he's a genius and simply asks for him to hand over the antidote. Nemu, who he is being held by Mayuri's Bankai, asks if she could be let down but Mayuri simply ignores her. Uryū tells him to let her down but he still ignores this request but decides that he will give them the antidote and throws it to them. All of a sudden Nemu begins screaming in pain and Uryū pleads with Mayuri to let her go. Szayel's voice then appears and he states that it's going to take much more than that to defeat him. He then tells them that their going to bear witness to his greatest ability, Gabriel, which allows him to asexually reproduce within the womb of his prey and that soon his host will become nothing more than an empty shell. He then leaves out of Nemu's body and says that the only downside to this is it ruins his hair.

Szayel explains to Mayuri that he will always be able to resurrect himself and that death has only become another part of his life cycle making him the perfect being. He tells Mayuri that no matter what he does there is no way for him to win. Mayuri simply walks past Szayel and goes up to Nemu. Szayel thinks that Mayuri is saddened to see his subordinate dying but Mayuri simply smiles at him and says he has an interesting ability. He then mocks Szayel asking if that's all he can do and Szayel has Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō attempt to eat Mayuri. He explains to Mayuri that when he was eaten by his Zanpakutō he was able to control it's nerves from the inside giving him complete control over it. All of a sudden the Bankai blows up and Mayuri tells him he would never allow a tool of his to defeat him. He explains to Szayel that he made it so that if it ever betrayed him it would blow up immediately. Afterwards, the 12th division captain remarks that it is time to check out his new drug. Szayel gets into a battle stance and Mayuri tells him that there is no need as the "drug" has already taken effect. He explains to him that if anyone were to eat or invade Nemu's body they would be effected by a drug he calls the superhuman drug. He tells him that everything should feel as if it's going incredibly slow right now and asks if it looks like his blade has stopped. He then tells him that one second should feel like a century and that his non superhuman senses will fall terribly behind his superhuman senses causing the movements of his flesh to be left behind. Mayuri then stabs Szayel's hand and says that the pain should last for over a hundred years. He continues bringing his Zanpakutō closer to Szayel's heart as he looks on in fright. Szayel wonders how much longer it will be until the Zanpakutō pierces his heart and then begs for his death to already happen.

RP Sample: It was all over. Szayel watched in horror as his lab was blown to pieces. His beautiful, beautiful lab. Gone. His experiments destroyed. Glass shattered everywhere. His eyes narrowed, and he glared coldly at the man who had started all this. His fists were clenched and he wanted nothing better than to pound the man who had done this, the man who had ruined the Espada. But he didn't. A Small, wicked smile grew on his lips, and he began to laugh loudly. Insanely. Maybe his lab was gone, but he wasn't! He was alive, and he would get revenge. With a sneer at the man he walked quickly out of the room. He wouldn't stay in Las Noches any longer. Not when this creature had taken over. "You'll pay!" he called over his shoulder, his voice teasing. "Oh, you'll pay!"
