OR
He is about to get hit and Nemu can see the enormous danger and needs to act/self sacrifice route (pls noooo).
I absolutely LOVE Mayuri but I think it would be better if he died here, rather than Nemu. It would be more impactful if a captain of the Gotei 13 died imo.
EDIT: on page 16 where the arm looks like it's going to hit Mayuri, he says 'this is the Matai Fukuin Shoutai power' which is part of his bankai? So maybe the hand behind him, is actually an alternate form of Ashisogi Jizo born from taking in information on the soul king arm???
i.e., he's not actually in any danger, Nemu is just misinterpreting?
Just a thought.
