Ryun had been dead for nearly a month. He carried a new sword on his side. Just before his death, he sealed the Ten Tails within Tentouken to save it from death. When he reached the Other World, it had been fully changed from a Shadow Blade to a Zanpakutō called Juubikatta. He had been training with Juubikatta for the past month but due to the sword being incredibly powerful, he was not able to remain in his Bankai or Shukai states very long. The longest he could hold it was for three minutes and this angered him. While he was training one afternoon, Rokudou Sennin came to oversee how he was progressing.
