Holy Birth, the Resurrected Szayelaporro

Holy Birth, the Resurrected Szayel Aporro is the one-hundred ninety-ninth episode of the Bleach anime.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi decides to end his battle against a reborn Szayel Aporro Granz.

Summary
Rukia Kuchiki wakes up after being healed by Hanatarō Yamada and Isane Kotetsu. She tries to get up, but they tell her that she can't because they are still in the process of healing her. Rukia then notices Byakuya's haori and injuries, but he tells her to ignore them and lay still. Meanwhile, Kenpachi Zaraki and Nnoitra Gilga continue their fight, and Orihime Inoue rushes to heal Ichigo. But Ichigo tells her to heal Nel first, and Orihime agrees. Yasutora Sado wakes up and finds himself healed and sees Retsu Unohana standing in the distance.

Elsewhere, Mayuri states that he can hear barbarians fighting, as his Bankai devours Szayel, much to Uryū and Renji's disgust. As Renji and Uryū speak, they notice that Renji has been poisoned. He asks why Uryū is okay, and Uryū says that it is because he has already been hit by the poison once and has likely developed antibodies, but he then begins to show symptoms. Mayuri asks him what he is babbling about, as it is common sense for someone to change their poison after each use. Nemu then interrupts and apologetically asks Mayuri if he could help her down, but Mayuri ignores her and throws the bottle of antidote to Uryū and Renji although the bottle breaks when he throws it, much to their dismay.

Nemu then begins to scream in pain, and Uryū yells for Mayuri to hurry up and get the feeler off of her. A purple cloud of smoke errupts from her mouth and Szayel begins to state that Mayuri had not killed him, and that his Resurrección's greatest ability was Gabriel. He goes on to explain that it is an ability that allowed him to use the enemy's body to resurrect himself by stealing their Reishi and killing them. The smoke then begins to form into Szayel, and he states that he is the perfect being. As he speaks, Mayuri simply ignores him and walks over and kneels beside Nemu's body seemingly distraught. Szayel mocks him, asking him if seeing his precious lieutenant die made him depressed, but Mayuri simply smiles and tells Szayel that he has an interesting technique.

Mayuri asks him if that was it, stating that since he called himself the perfect being then surely he has more to his ability. Szayel then lifts his finger, and Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō rises to attack Mayuri and attempts to eat him. Szayel laughs, asking Mayuri if he thought nothing would happen to his Bankai if it ate him. He goes on to state that he fused with it and took over its central nervous system, and he tells Mayuri that he should curse the fact that is Bankai is a living creature. However, he is interrupted when he sees Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō explode. Mayuri then explains that he altered his Bankai to self destruct if it ever attempted to attack him. Mayuri goes on to say that it appears Szayel had no further abilities, but he would function well as a lab rat for one of Mayuri's new drugs. Szayel gets into a defensive posture, but Mayuri tells him there's no need because he's already administered the drug, and Szayel's perception begins to deteriorate. Mayuri says that he always keeps several drugs kept inside of Nemu, and that anyone that eats or goes inside Nemu would be given a dose of those drugs. Szayel yells at Mayuri, demanding to know what the drug was that was affecting him. Mayuri tells him not to worry as it isn't poisonous and he holds up a blue vile and says that its name was the Superhuman Drug, and he explains that the drugs give the affected person superhuman senses, but Szayel can't hear him and he believes that Mayuri is speaking too slowly. Mayuri then draws his sword and approaches Szayel and states that one second should feel like a century to him, and that Mayuri thrusting his sword towards him would feel like it's barely inching towards him over the course of one hundred years. As Szayel slowly lifts his hand to attempt to block the sword, Mayuri states that his body can't keep up with his sensory input, and that even if he manages to block the sword he won't feel the pain of it piercing him for another hundred years. Mayuri then stabs Szayel as he wonders how long it will take all that information to reach him. He tells Szayel farewell and stabs him in the heart as he tells him to enjoy the next hundred years.

Nanao Ise prepares to bring the meeting over next year's budget to an end. Chōjirō Sasakibe, Retsu Unohana, Tetsuzaemon Iba, and Byakuya Kuchiki are all in attendance. Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Nemu Kurotsuchi then appear and Mayuri states that he'd like to start a Reishi based experiment but his budget wasn't sufficient. Nanao states that she understands and held a vote to see who was all in favor of the budget for the Shinigami Men's Association being transferred to Mayuri's experiment, and all those present agreed, much to Iba's dismay.
