Chapter 205: Mala Suerte! 4: Monstruo Monstruoso
Yumichika is surprised,
not that Ikkaku has a Bankai, but that he decided to use it. Edrad’s just surprised, though. This is what Ikkaku’s bankai looks like, if you’re interested. They banter and fight, but things seem to be going worse for Edrad now, but he’s not finished yet. He reflects that while it’s power is scary, Ikkaku’s Bankai has nothing else going for it, so he plans to overwhelm Ikkaku before his attack has a chance to connect. He’s confident, but then he notices that it seems to be getting stronger. Ikkaku explains that his Zanpakutou is very lazy, and only hitting the enemy in Bankai will wake it up. The dragon on the main blade is used as a gauge to show how aware it is at the moment, and it’ll be fully awake, and therefore most powerful, when the dragon is complete. Like it is right now. they both attack with all their strength, and the chapter ends.
‘Monstruo Monstruoso’ = Monsterous monster. Um. Well, that’s not very meaningful, is it? It’s probably meant to be pointing out how monsterous the monster’s become in this chapter. Now about Ikkaku’s zanpakutou: One would think, that given how energetic Ikkaku is, that it’s strange for his zanpakutou to be lazy. It makes sense when you consider his fighting style, though, he doesn’t want to just completely overwhelm his opponent, he wants to drag things out, have fun with it, not increase his own power is any way unless he finds himself unable to keep up. So his Zanpakutou never gives him any power he doesn’t specifically force out; it just lazes around; and Ikkaku wouldn’t have it any other way.
