Others train their swordsmanship, swinging their blades tens of thousands of times a day. He practices punches, kicks, and stretches, because his entire body is made of blades.
Others oil and maintain their Zanpakuto, afraid it might get scratched or dented. He slathers on body lotion and soaks in hot springs, making sure to pamper his own body.
Others go into seclusion and beg their Zanpakuto to teach them Bankai. He lies flat and takes a nap. After all, I am the Zanpakuto myself, so I can release it however I want.
Soi Fon: Why can’t my Nigeki Kessatsu hit him?!
Byakuya Kuchiki: His slashes are even denser than Senbonzakura?!
Aizen: Why is my Kyoka Suigetsu completely ineffective against him?!
Yhwach: I possess The Almighty, yet I can’t predict his attacks?!
Kenpachi Zaraki: Lin Ye! Stop running! Fight me!
Lin Ye vaults over walls in a frantic escape: Stop chasing me! My shift is over! Fighting counts as overtime. Are you paying me extra?!
When intruders invade the Soul Society, he slacks off and munches on rice balls. When the Espada show off in Hueco Mundo, he pinpoints their weaknesses. When the Wandenreich steals Bankai, he leaves the enemy completely at a loss.
Sorry, but all you Zanpakuto users are just small fry to me.
I, Lin Ye, am the Zanpakuto itself. Across the Three Realms, I am the blade’s edge!
