## Plot

### The Thousand-Year Blood War arc

After the death of Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, he arrives in Soul Society with the other members of the Royal Guard, where they are greeted by the surviving Gotei 13 captains and Ichigo Kurosaki. While the other members of the royal guard discuss their plans to take Ichigo to the Royal Palace, Daisuke accompanies Senjumaru Shutara to the 4th division, visiting his children who were there, then visiting his wife Miu. Once his visit ends and he returns with his companions, Daisuke takes Ōkari no arashi and Keiyaku no hakobune with him.

Once he returns after Senjumaru, he looks at Retsu Unohana and jokes that if she frowns so much he will end up looking like an old raisin, ending up telling her that she can't keep running from the past and that seeing her again made him miss their old discussions.

After Nimaiya finished working Renji Abarai's zanpakuto, Daisuke introduced himself as the strongest man under heaven and told him to accompany him, taking him to his area in the palace that he shared with Nimaiya, this being a simple grass meadow next to the ocean that Ooetsu used for his forge. Once there, Daisuke would explain to Renji that so far all the battles he has fought have been done only using his sword, but even with his poor Kido he had forgotten about one of the most important weapons for a shinigami, the body and mind. During the whole day that Ichigo was outside the soul society, Daisuke taught Renji the exclusive techniques for members of the Zero Division, while this was happening the second Kenpachi explained to him that his sword is more powerful than he imagine, but to be able to use that power his body had to be up to the task and his mind had to be able to make the best choices. From the tips of the nails on his feet to the last strand of his hair, he had to listen to his body, his mind and his zanpakuto, as a shinigami it was his duty to protect the people of the soul society, but while he focused so much In being stronger and in obtaining a Bankai, he forgot that the body was the main pillar where all Shinigami had to develop their strength. Some time later he tells him to get ready since after visiting Senjumaru he will test everything he learned with him because he would train with the captain of the entire zero division, Ichibē Hyōsube.

By the time Ichigo arrives with him, already with his newly forged zanpakuto, Daisuke tells Ichigo that he doesn't need his lessons, not because he isn't worthy, but because they would be of no use to someone like him, instead Daisuke draws his zanpakuto and decides to help him get used to his new swords, starting a duel where Kurosawa tells Ichigo that if he finally understands the danger that Yhwach implies then he will have to use everything he has and teach him his bankai to know if he was ready, at the same time Daisuke draws a second zanpakuto being this, Ōkari no arashi, releasing the shikai of both swords and thus beginning his last duel before he can advance.

The next day, when Yhwach, Jugram Haschwalth, and Uryū Ishida arrive at the palace, Daisuke senses their presence. Later, after Hikifune traps the invaders in his cage of life, Daisuke and Nimaiya confront them, drawing Banshī no kyūryū and exclaiming with Nimaiya that the real battle begins here.

## Invention

**Kairyudo** (海竜道, *the sea dragon path*): The Kairyudo is a martial art created by Daisuke, it unifies unarmed combat techniques with Zanjutsu and is mainly based on the total use of the body and its movement to optimize attacks, deflections and defenses. His techniques are mainly based on hitting using the full weight of the body and disarming enemies efficiently, using all parts of the body and their energy flows to find and attack the weakest points in the enemy's defenses and attacks.

At the request of Disuke himself to the central 46, after his promotion Kairyudo was modified and integrated into the classic Hakuda.

During the TYBW Daisuke instructed Kurosaki Ichigo , Abarai Renji, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia in a series of Kairyudo moves that were not found in the teachings left behind in the Soul Society, making it clear that these techniques were kept only for royal guard members knew about them due to direct orders from the royal family and the soul king.
