369. Spit On Your Own God

Hachi and Soifon join forces against Barragan.

Summary
Barragan continues explaining that "humans die, animals die, plants die and even Shinigami die. For everything that dies there is age too. If things that human's create can die then kido, created by Shinigami, is no different. As Kido may last for a thousand years. But it cannot last forever". Barragan contends that 'forever' is nothing more then a meaningless word born out of the fear of aging. He then proceeds to attack. Hachi generates a rectangular plank in between his hands and multiples it into rows in front of him. The constructs connect together into a wall that holds off Barragan's Respira. Barragan states that he already has said that it will rot, as the Respira begins to chisel away at the integrity of the wall. Hachi begins recite the incantation, to which Barragan comments on how clever Hachi is, since a incantation said after a spell can strengthen it. But he also warns that he is to late. Hachi puts his hands up in front of him saying the spell name causing large beams to build up in front of him, creating a very think and large wall many stories high to separate him and barragan further. Hachi then calls out to Soifon, asking her for her help as he needs her bankai. Soifon apprehensively comments on how the Vizard even knows about her bankai. Hachi pleads with her that he knows she she doesn't want to work with them because of their connection to Urahara, be he reminds her that this is not the time for grudges. Soifon still acts uninterested in teaming up with him, to which Hachi relents and tells her he will make a deal with her. Meanwhile Barragan is loosing patience and proceeds to try to destroy the wall before he notices something behind him. Hachi continues to create more barriers starting with "Koko No Jomon", a round barrier on Barragans right; "Kigai No Jomon", a hexagonal barrier made of a multitude of smaller hexagons on his left and finally "Hoyoku No Jomon", a large post with winglike protrusions fanned out forward eclipsing all other constructs. Hachi calls out the spell name "Shiju No Saimon" causing the spell to fully take effect as "Hoyoku No Jomon" becomes similar to an umbrella as a large box shaped barrier connects all other constructs Hachi has previously made and entraps Barragan completely. Barragan laughs at Hachi's attempts as ridiculous to think he can be sealed in this, laughing at the idea of trying to buy time against one who controls aging. Barragan equates it as being similar to spitting on the face of god. Hachi simply states the barrier is not to seal him, Hachi then explains that Barragan used his aging on Soifon's bankai and made it explode far away from him so that he escaped the explosion. Hachi then says what if Barragan is somewhere he can't escape the explosion, if the explosion is so close that his powers wont be fast enough to keep it away from him. The round section of barrier partially opens and Soifon sticks Jakuhō Raikōben in and asks Hachi to promise her again that tomorrow he will seal Kisuke Urahara in one of his barriers for a month. Hachi promises and Soifon smiles as she fires her bankai causing the barrier to seriously rupture and crack.
