The speech of random Central 46 members let Akiko know this conversation wasn't going as intended. It seemed that they liked the idea of killing off something they didn't understand instead of properly utilizing it. This was a typical reaction of the Central 46, one which Akiko herself had fended off, both in the creation of her Cyborg Vice Captain and a couple of other things she'd done in her time as a Shinigami. "This is the same reaction you give every time you encounter something new or that you don't get initially. And him injuring Tamamura-taichou shouldn't be considered a big deal, it was in the middle of a contest to test power, one approved by all aspects of the Soul Society, and technically speaking followed the rules of combat laid out by us. If he'd actually managed to kill her, he would have become Captain, you know, in the same way the Kenpachi is generally replaced." she said taking a deep breath, exploiting an easy technicality in their logic was usually a good start for Akiko. "Seriously, you can't punish him for what he could be capable of. For all you know, he'll use all that shining intellect and power to lead the Soul Society into a new age. Giving his peers a higher totem to reach for than even they ever thought was possible. That isn't a reason to kill him at all. And if you think it is, you're going to contribute to a stagnation in power that will leave us and all the rest of creation vulnerable to the growing Hollow threat, something growing and diversifying at an astonishing rate even as we speak," she said looking around the room at the random numbered plaques. "We've both already said we were looking for ways to disperse the Hollow influence and allow him to retain his normal Shinigami abilities. If you kill him for being clever, being good at his skills, and for being powerful, the only things you can actually say he is right now. The only thing you'll do is set a precedent that one has to be secretive to develop and that hiding what you're capable of will keep you alive. And that... won't do for keeping the general peace. I am simply asking that you give me a chance to actually work, is that so much to ask, before you jump to any rash decisions like an execution that can't be undone." a few of the members of the Central 46 came to mumbles about this, if a Hollow menace was growing who were they to keep them from working in a proper solution. "We don't know what he did or didn't do, if you can't prove it, if he did it on purpose, how are we supposed to let him live?" questioned the first speaker. "So you want me to prove he didn't acquire these powers of his own accord, but you're holding him prisoner?"
