Yoruichi wanted to smack Kisuke upside the head. This insane training plan of his was supposed to turn Ranma into a shinigami, not an Arrancar! A part of her, the part left over from her days as leader of the Onmitsukidō, was screaming for her to attack. However, she ruthlessly crushed that part of herself. Ranma, not a hollow, was in front of her and until absolutely proven otherwise that's how things would stay for her.
Kisuke was less attached to Ranma, though he still cared for the midget a great deal, and was assessing the situation in front of him. He really hoped that Ranma's mind was still in control because he'd hate to have to kill the boy. Besides, he was giving out quite a lot of power. Currently the boy's power was somewhere between what a seated officer and a captain was supposed to have with shikai. It would not be fun to fight an opponent that strong with who knew what kinds of abilities.
Jinta and Ururu looked on with their mouths open in shock. Ranma's resurreccion looked like he was seven feet tall and wearing an ivory suit of armor without a helmet. His torso's armor had four tiger heads engraved into it. One tiger head was on the back, one was on the front, and one was on each side. The rest of the armor was covered in designs showing lions, jaguars, and leopards. Ranma's hands were where things really started to get interesting. His left hand was replaced with a fist sized cannon that was decorated so that the barrel of the cannon came out of a roaring tiger's mouth. The young arrancar's right hand was replaced with an armored paw that had four kodachi-length serrated blades coming out of it.
Ranma looked down at himself and took a moment to admire what he had become. So he wasn't a shinigami. That wasn't such a big deal since those hollow urges were gone and he now had the power needed to keep any spirit he encountered safe from hollows. The young arrancar then looked over at his friends. "I'm still me, so everything worked out in the end right?"
Everyone, including Setsuna who was still watching everything from the Time Gates, fell down at Ranma's remark. Ranma closed his eyes and while everyone was trying to get back up he searched for a way to seal his power. Instinctively he knew that he could do this; he just had to figure out how. The 'how' suddenly came to Ranma and he quickly went to deactivate his resurreccion. He opened his eyes and calmly said, "Entierro."
There was a brief flash of light as Ranma's resurreccion was resealed. When the light died down, Ranma was back to his normal chibi size wearing silver pants with a black cloth belt and black boots. He had no shirt on thus proudly showing that he didn't have a hollow hole. His zanpaktou was firmly secured by his belt behind his back. The zanpaktou itself was shaped like a bone white Dao with a tiger's skull that had a ruby in each eye socket on the end of the hilt.
Yoruichi lost control of her budding maternal instincts at this moment. She didn't care anymore that Ranma was now an arrancar. All that mattered was that the little boy she was starting to look on like a son was safe and had survived the broken shaft test. She quickly used shunpo to cross the distance to Ranma and grabbed him in a hug.
