[[Image:294Yamamoto appears.png|thumb|left|190px|Yamamoto appears after Aizen defeats the remaining captains.]]
After a large majority of the Gotei 13 and [[Visored]] are cut down by [[Sōsuke Aizen]], a pillar of flame appears behind Aizen and Yamamoto emerges from it. Aizen tells him that his appearance is too late as he's the only captain of the Gotei 13 left with any actual offensive abilities. He continues to explain that if he falls, the entire Gotei 13 will collapse in on itself and he suggests to him that he should have come forth sooner. However, Yamamoto calls him arrogant for thinking he can actually cut him down, which causes Aizen to state that he thinks nothing of the sort, as he's already cut him down.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393 pages 1-8</ref>
 
  +
As [[Sōsuke Aizen]] cuts down [[Tōshirō Hitsugaya]], [[Shunsui Kyōraku]], [[Suì-Fēng]], and [[Shinji Hirako]] while telling them to observe the battle as it reaches its conclusion, Yamamoto appears behind him in a roaring column of fire. Noting Yamamoto is finally making his move, Aizen points out how he is the only captain left with any fighting ability and states Yamamoto has missed his opportunity before telling him there is no place for him on this battlefield at this point.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 1-6</ref>

  +
Yamamoto tells Aizen to not overestimate himself and asks him if he believes his power will be sufficient to cut Yamamoto down, only for Aizen to claim he has already done so before appearing behind Yamamoto and stabbing through the stomach. However, Yamamoto merely grins and grabs Aizen's arm before proclaiming he has got him now, prompting Aizen to ask him what he plans to do now and if he can be sure that the arm he is holding actually belongs to Aizen himself.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 6-10</ref>
Yamamoto tells him to be quiet, but Aizen appears directly behind him. As Yamamoto turns around to confront him, Aizen stabs Yamamoto through the stomach. However, Yamamoto grabs his arm, claiming that he's now captured him, but Aizen asks if he's really sure that this isn't an illusion. Yamamoto states that this would've been an issue if he were using his eyes to see or his skin to feel, but because he has now been stabbed with a [[Zanpakutō]], he could never misread the [[Reiatsu]] from it. He then tells him that despite what Aizen may think, his opportunity to defeat him has never been greater and he reveals his '''[[Ennetsu Jigoku]]''' technique. Many pillars of flame surround them and Yamamoto states that everything that happened in this fight was gone into creating a chance to use this technique. Aizen tells him he's cunning for doing this while allowing his subordinates to get cut down, but Yamamoto states that he doesn't want to hear the word "cunning" from him. After telling him that the both of them are going to die in this burning hell, Yamamoto yells for [[Ichigo Kurosaki]] to fall back since he's not a member of the Gotei 13 and therefore, he won't allow him to get involved in this. Aizen points out that if he continues this technique, everyone else will get killed as well, but Yamamoto tells him that they're prepared for that since dying to exterminate a great evil is the spirit of the Gotei 13. All of a sudden, Wonderweiss appears behind Yamamoto in his '''[[Resurrección]]'''.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 9-16</ref>

Yamamoto admits that this would be an issue if he were merely observing Aizen with his eyes and feeling him with his skin before proclaiming that the [[Reiatsu]] of the [[Zanpakutō]] in his gut is unmistakable. Tightening his grip on Aizen's arm, Yamamoto notes that Aizen said he had missed his opportunity before proclaiming his opportunity has arrived as several large pillars of flame erupt around them. Yamamoto reveals to a shocked Aizen that this technique is called '''[[Ennetsu Jigoku]]''' and that all of the battles up until now have served to create this opportunity.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 10-13</ref>

When Aizen notes that he was preparing this even as his subordinates were being cut down and admits he is a crafty one, Yamamoto states that he hopes so and proclaims that it is time for them to die together in this blazing inferno before ordering [[Ichigo Kurosaki]] to fall back, as he is not a member of the [[Gotei 13]] and it is not his place to die here. Aizen points out that the other Shinigami present will be consumed in this inferno as well, only for Yamamoto to state that they are all prepared to die and that the nature of the Gotei 13 is for them to give their lives to vanquish a great evil. However, he is interrupted by [[Wonderweiss Margela]] appearing behind him in his [[Resurrección]].<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 14-16</ref>

[[Image:294Wonderweiss seals.png|thumb|left|190px|Wonderweiss surprises Yamamoto by sealing the flames of '''[[Ryūjin Jakka]]'''.]]
Yamamoto swings his Zanpakutō at Wonderweiss, but he easily blocks it with his bare hand, which causes the flames to extinguish. Wonderweiss then throws Yamamoto to the ground. Mildly injured, Yamamoto wonders why the flames disappeared. Aizen begins explaining to him that his '''Ryūjin Jakka''' is the most powerful Zanpakutō in existence, and that if he were to fight it directly, even he would have trouble. However, he tells him that if one were to abandon all other abilities and only specialize on one thing, then that person would be able to oppose its incredible power. Aizen states that Wonderweiss' Resurrección is called '''Extinguir''' and that he was created for the sole purpose of suppressing '''Ryūjin Jakka'''.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 16-19</ref> He states that he got this power by giving up his language, knowledge, memory, and even reasoning. Aizen then tells Yamamoto that he's powerless before him and bids farewell to the Captain-Commander. Wonderweiss then goes to attack his opponent.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 394, pages 1-3</ref>

Yamamoto swings '''[[Ryūjin Jakka]]''' at Wonderweiss, who merely catches it with his hand, causing the flames to dissipate and the sword to return to its sealed form, before throwing Yamamoto to the ground below. As the dust clears, Yamamoto stands with his captain's ''haori'' gone and wonders why the flames of '''Ryūjin Jakka''' have disappeared. Deciding to explain it to him, Aizen notes '''Ryūjin Jakka''' is the most powerful Zanpakutō in existence and admits that it would likely overpower him if he fought against it directly before revealing that Wonderweiss's Resurrección is named '''[[Extinguir]]''' and that he was created for the sole purpose of neutralizing '''Ryūjin Jakka'''.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 393, pages 16-19</ref>

[[Image:294Yamamoto prepares.png|thumb|right|190px|Yamamoto prepares to use [[Hakuda]] against Wonderweiss.]]
  +
As Yamamoto notices that his flames are disappearing, Aizen explains how Wonderweiss lost his ability to speak, his knowledge, his memories, and his basic sense of reason for the sake of gaining '''Extinguir''' and states Yamamoto cannot oppose the power that Wonderweiss exchanged for everything which he possessed before bidding Yamamoto farewell as Wonderweiss rushes toward him. However, Yamamoto uses '''[[Ikkotsu]]''', which sends Wonderweiss crashing through several buildings with a large hole in his abdomen, and asks Aizen if he believes he can defeat Yamamoto by sealing '''Ryūjin Jakka'''.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 594, pages 1-6</ref>
Yamamoto swiftly lands a devastating punch with force so great that it creates a large hole in Wonderweiss' chest and sends the Arrancar flying several city blocks away before crashing into a building. Yamamoto tells Aizen that he's naïve for thinking that he'd be stopped by suppressing his Zanpakutō's power, and claims that the reason that he has been the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 for the last 1000 years is because there has been no other Shinigami stronger than him in that time. Yamamoto then uses [[Shunpo]] to swiftly appear in front of Aizen and he moves to punch him in the face, but the blow is intercepted by Wonderweiss who takes the impact instead. Yamamoto remarks that Wonderweiss is quite lively for being able to survive '''[[Ikkotsu]]''', so he asks his opponent if it's all right for him to be put in more pain from him. Wonderweiss simply responds with moans though and Yamamoto remembers that his speech was taken from him. Wonderweiss forms an extra arm from his back and it stretches out to attack Yamamoto, but he easily dodges it and claims that he's got nothing to back him up except his modification. Wonderweiss then stretches out another arm towards his opponent, but this time Yamamoto grabs it and tears it off with his bare hands, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Wonderweiss screams out as other arms appear from his shoulders and attack Yamamoto with an onslaught of punches. Wonderweiss then holds down Yamamoto with his two original arms and [[Centurion|the top of his shoulders explode revealing a multitude of arms]].<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 394, pages 5-14</ref>

Calling Aizen a fool, Yamamoto proclaims that he has been the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 for a thousand years because no one was born to rival him in strength in all that time. Yamamoto moves to Aizen and attempts to punch him, but Wonderweiss intercepts the blow, prompting Yamamoto to throw him aside. As Wonderweiss stands with the hole in his abdomen [[High-Speed Regeneration|regenerating]], Yamamoto notes he did not hold back with his attack and admits Wonderweiss is quite tenacious before removing the top half of his ''shihakushō'' and telling Wonderweiss he will find this a little painful.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 394, pages 6-10</ref>

Wonderweiss pummels the Captain-Commander with an even greater magnitude of blows, but once he stops, Yamamoto appears unaffected from the attack and asks him if that is all he has got. He then rips off the arms that are holding him and states that in the very least, he is glad that he no longer has the form of a child as he can now beat him to death without remorse.

Watching Wonderweiss's head fall to the ground, a saddened Yamamoto notes Wonderweiss still possessed his emotions before telling Aizen this was cruel of him, prompting Aizen to state there is nothing cruel about giving purpose to a being who would otherwise consume its fellow souls as its purpose before claiming Yamamoto is the cruel one for tearing Wonderweiss to pieces. Yamamoto says he is not going to exchange petty arguments with Aizen and lands in front of him before proclaiming that this will all be over very soon, only for Aizen to note Yamamoto has failed to understand what Aizen told him.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 395, pages 4-6</ref>
Yamamoto looks down on the defeated Wonderweiss, feeling sorry for the Arrancar and states that Wonderweiss is a wretched thing, as his feelings weren't stripped away from him. Yamamoto tells Aizen that it was cruel of him to do something like that, but Aizen tells him that since Hollows have no purpose other than to hunt souls, there is nothing wrong in giving that Hollow a meaning in life. Aizen goes on to say that Yamamoto's the cruel one for smashing that soul to pieces, but Yamamoto states that he's not going to engage in foolish arguments with him. Yamamoto then goes down to Aizen's location, while telling him to prattle on while he still can as this is going to be over very soon. However, Aizen tells him that taking his words so lightly has caused Yamamoto to miss something important. Yamamoto asks him what he's talking about and Aizen tells him to recall his words from before. He explains that '''Extinguir''' is meant to suppress the flames of '''Ryūjin Jakka''', so he asks Yamamoto where the flames were sealed away. Yamamoto immediately realizes that those flames are sealed in Wonderweiss' body and Aizen tells him that he should be well aware of what would happen if his flames were to explode. Yamamoto jumps on the body as it erupts in a large area, destroying the buildings around. Yamamoto is left with severe injuries and Aizen is surprised that he was able to keep the damage so contained. He tells Yamamoto that if he hadn't done that, then the barrier around the imitation Karakura Town would have been destroyed and a significant amount of area around them would have been burnt to ash. Aizen then thanks Yamamoto for his efforts in saving "his" world as Yamamoto curses Aizen and collapses.<ref>''Bleach'' manga; Chapter 395, pages 4-14</ref>

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto vs. Wonderweiss Margela is a battle that takes place in the Fake Karakura Town. It involves Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, facing off against Wonderweiss Margela, the only modified Arrancar in existence.

Prelude

294Yamamoto appears

Yamamoto appears after Aizen defeats the remaining captains.

As Sōsuke Aizen cuts down Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Shunsui Kyōraku, Suì-Fēng, and Shinji Hirako while telling them to observe the battle as it reaches its conclusion, Yamamoto appears behind him in a roaring column of fire. Noting Yamamoto is finally making his move, Aizen points out how he is the only captain left with any fighting ability and states Yamamoto has missed his opportunity before telling him there is no place for him on this battlefield at this point.[1]

294Yamamoto grabs

Yamamoto grabs Aizen's arm after being stabbed.

Yamamoto tells Aizen to not overestimate himself and asks him if he believes his power will be sufficient to cut Yamamoto down, only for Aizen to claim he has already done so before appearing behind Yamamoto and stabbing through the stomach. However, Yamamoto merely grins and grabs Aizen's arm before proclaiming he has got him now, prompting Aizen to ask him what he plans to do now and if he can be sure that the arm he is holding actually belongs to Aizen himself.[2]

294Ennetsu Jigoku

Yamamoto activates Ennetsu Jigoku.

Yamamoto admits that this would be an issue if he were merely observing Aizen with his eyes and feeling him with his skin before proclaiming that the Reiatsu of the Zanpakutō in his gut is unmistakable. Tightening his grip on Aizen's arm, Yamamoto notes that Aizen said he had missed his opportunity before proclaiming his opportunity has arrived as several large pillars of flame erupt around them. Yamamoto reveals to a shocked Aizen that this technique is called Ennetsu Jigoku and that all of the battles up until now have served to create this opportunity.[3]

294Wonderweiss appears

Wonderweiss Margela appears behind Yamamoto in his Resurrección.

When Aizen notes that he was preparing this even as his subordinates were being cut down and admits he is a crafty one, Yamamoto states that he hopes so and proclaims that it is time for them to die together in this blazing inferno before ordering Ichigo Kurosaki to fall back, as he is not a member of the Gotei 13 and it is not his place to die here. Aizen points out that the other Shinigami present will be consumed in this inferno as well, only for Yamamoto to state that they are all prepared to die and that the nature of the Gotei 13 is for them to give their lives to vanquish a great evil. However, he is interrupted by Wonderweiss Margela appearing behind him in his Resurrección.[4]

Battle

294Wonderweiss seals

Wonderweiss surprises Yamamoto by sealing the flames of Ryūjin Jakka.

Yamamoto swings Ryūjin Jakka at Wonderweiss, who merely catches it with his hand, causing the flames to dissipate and the sword to return to its sealed form, before throwing Yamamoto to the ground below. As the dust clears, Yamamoto stands with his captain's haori gone and wonders why the flames of Ryūjin Jakka have disappeared. Deciding to explain it to him, Aizen notes Ryūjin Jakka is the most powerful Zanpakutō in existence and admits that it would likely overpower him if he fought against it directly before revealing that Wonderweiss's Resurrección is named Extinguir and that he was created for the sole purpose of neutralizing Ryūjin Jakka.[5]

294Yamamoto prepares

Yamamoto prepares to use Hakuda against Wonderweiss.

As Yamamoto notices that his flames are disappearing, Aizen explains how Wonderweiss lost his ability to speak, his knowledge, his memories, and his basic sense of reason for the sake of gaining Extinguir and states Yamamoto cannot oppose the power that Wonderweiss exchanged for everything which he possessed before bidding Yamamoto farewell as Wonderweiss rushes toward him. However, Yamamoto uses Ikkotsu, which sends Wonderweiss crashing through several buildings with a large hole in his abdomen, and asks Aizen if he believes he can defeat Yamamoto by sealing Ryūjin Jakka.[6]

294Yamamoto removes

Yamamoto removes the upper half of his shihakushō.

Calling Aizen a fool, Yamamoto proclaims that he has been the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 for a thousand years because no one was born to rival him in strength in all that time. Yamamoto moves to Aizen and attempts to punch him, but Wonderweiss intercepts the blow, prompting Yamamoto to throw him aside. As Wonderweiss stands with the hole in his abdomen regenerating, Yamamoto notes he did not hold back with his attack and admits Wonderweiss is quite tenacious before removing the top half of his shihakushō and telling Wonderweiss he will find this a little painful.[7]

Ep294Centurion

Wonderweiss uses Centurion after immobilizing Yamamoto.

When Wonderweiss fails to respond with a coherent sentence, Yamamoto remembers that he had the power of speech taken from him before leaping into the air as Wonderweiss punches the area where he was standing. As Yamamoto commends Wonderweiss for not making any unnecessary movements and notes that his modifications are at least good for something, a tendril emerges from Wonderweiss's left shoulder and rushes toward him, only for Yamamoto to rip it off. Screaming in pain, Wonderweiss attacks Yamamoto with a flurry of blows and grabs both of his arms before using Centurion, generating hundreds of tendrils with hands from his shoulders.[8]

294Sokotsu

Yamamoto uses Sōkotsu on Wonderweiss, killing him by shattering his body.

Wonderweiss unleashes a furious barrage of blows on Yamamoto before finishing it off with a single, powerful punch as Aizen watches from below. However, as the dust clears, Yamamoto stands with mere scratches on his body and asks a surprised Wonderweiss if this is all he has got before ripping both of his arms off. As Wonderweiss cries out in pain, Yamamoto admits he is glad that Wonderweiss no longer has the form of a child because he can now beat him to death without remorse. Yamamoto appears in front of Wonderweiss with Shunpo and uses Sōkotsu,[9] causing Wonderweiss to shatter into pieces and fall to the ground below.[10]

Aftermath

Watching Wonderweiss's head fall to the ground, a saddened Yamamoto notes Wonderweiss still possessed his emotions before telling Aizen this was cruel of him, prompting Aizen to state there is nothing cruel about giving purpose to a being who would otherwise consume its fellow souls as its purpose before claiming Yamamoto is the cruel one for tearing Wonderweiss to pieces. Yamamoto says he is not going to exchange petty arguments with Aizen and lands in front of him before proclaiming that this will all be over very soon, only for Aizen to note Yamamoto has failed to understand what Aizen told him.[11]

294Wonderweiss begins

Wonderweiss's head begins to heat up.

When Yamamoto asks him what he means, Aizen tells him to recall his words about the power of Extinguir, which was to seal the flames of Ryūjin Jakka within the blade so it could not produce any more, and notes that there was a significant volume of flames that had already been released from the blade beforehand before asking Yamamoto where he believes those flames were sealed. As Yamamoto sees Wonderweiss's head heating up, Aizen states he is sure Yamamoto knows what will happen if all the flames he created were to be released in a single instant.[12]

294Yamamoto lies

Yamamoto lies badly injured in a crater after containing the explosion.

Yamamoto leaps toward Wonderweiss's head as a massive explosion rips through the area, destroying several buildings in the process. As the smoke clears, Yamamoto lies in a large crater with both arms and part of his face badly burnt. Walking down to Yamamoto, Aizen commends him for containing the explosion to such a degree and states he is worthy of the title of Captain-Commander before noting that the explosion would have destroyed the barrier and reduced an area many times larger than Karakura Town to ashes had Yamamoto not contained it. Thanking Yamamoto for protecting his world, Aizen draws his Zanpakutō.[13]

294Ichigo pounces

Ichigo pounces on Aizen after the latter is caught in Hadō #96. Ittō Kasō.

Aizen tells Yamamoto he will not do him the injustice of sparing his life before stating Yamamoto alone will die by his blade because he is the embodiment of the history of Soul Society itself. Grabbing his leg, Yamamoto tells a startled Aizen to not make him repeat himself and calls Aizen a fool once more before using his burnt arm as a catalyst for Hadō #96. Ittō Kasō, which creates a massive pillar of red fire shaped like the tip of a katana. As the fire destroys several buildings in the nearby vicinity, Aizen leaps away with minor burns, only to be startled by the appearance of Ichigo in the air above him.[14]
