Shrugging, Akihiko let out a sigh. Or not. It appeared things were already progressing at a stage well past the planning one. There was no time to prepare. It was simply time to act. Drawing his zanpakuto, Akihiko murmured his release phrase. "Shofu, Katta." Pushing the blade down from the tip using his palm, he pulled back. A column of feathers followed his heads. Reaching into the brown tower, he pulled out his shikai zanpakuto.

A red eye stared out from the handguard and two black wings acted as such. Having a dual-edged, square-topped blade, Katta was a bit of a masterpiece. "Let's just go fuck up their day." Turning toward the door, the captain of the eleventh squad marched out of the room, his white hoari billowing out behind him.

Entering the clear of day, he set his reiatsu perceiving-eye on the enemy reiatsu. Focusing on it, he activated Shunpo and began a direct line for the heart of battle.
