When Urahara felt the sudden blast of hollow reiatsu come from the Shattered Shaft, he almost lost his composure. It was on a level of intensity he had only felt once or twice over the entirety of his career. The force of it was like a solid, ten ton wall that bore down upon him and Tessai at speeds in excess of mach four, and it was all he could do just to keep from falling to his knees as the figure rose from the hole.
It was a hollow, there was no mistaking that. But it was a hollow on a level that the scientist never could have anticipated.
