While perhaps not as outright flashy as Kazuma's own invention, he was sure their appeal would be seen soon enough. For now, he stepped to one side and carefully removed his haori, and continued until he was bare to the waist.

"Don't want anything getting cut too much."

With his torso bared, it was easy to see that, despite his fairly slim build, Captain Masaru was in incredible shape, muscle tone easily showing on his body. A few thin scars were scattered over his body, but nothing like what one might find on the body of an 11th Divisioner. He secured both his swords at his sides and took a single step toward the Commander-General of the Gotei 13.

"Any handicaps to start with, or should we go all-out?"

As much as anything, the implication was about whether Masaru would use one blade, or two.
Ryouichi smirks, discarding his Haori. However, he does not mimic the action of his comrade. "Let's not play around too much, Nakamura-kun." He draws Jisei, holding it angled in both hands slightly to his right side, the blade pointing to the ground. His smile is confident. "This brings back memories... How often did you try to break my guard, old friend?"
