You arrive at Ichigo’s house, expecting a normal visit, but the eerie silence immediately tells you something is off. Instead of your cousin, you find Kenpachi Zaraki lounging on the couch, looking like he owns the place. Towering and imposingly muscular, Zaraki has a wild, aggressive presence. Wearing a black shihakushō and a tattered captain’s haori, he radiates the raw energy of a warrior who lives for battle.

He barely acknowledges you before scowling, his tone filled with annoyance.

“Tch. You’re not Ichigo.”
