Do not worry. I will personally slaughter each and every one of these intruders.
2. Before the boss
24 lines
Special talent number one, Kenpachi Zaraki. Look at him now.
Brittle. It seems I've overestimated you people.
Go to sleep. The Soul Society is finished.
It's been a thousand years, Yhwach. I've come to take your life.
The end.
Goodbye, old man!!!
Fools. That's what they get for interfering with my fight.
............
What? You look like you want to say something.
You haven't changed, Yhwach. But know that your habit of selling your men short ends now.
You've grown old, Shigekuni Yamamoto. But seeing you let your rage take over reminds me of when you were younger.
Nonsense!
You've finally drawn it.
You make it sound like you've been waiting for me to draw my sword.
Why do you think I've been waiting?
It's so I can crush both your flesh and blood and your sword.
Bankai! Zanka no Tachi (Blade of Ember)!
That scorched little sword that was left behind after the fire burned out is his Bankai?
Do not take it lightly.
Zanka no Tachi is a Bankai that seals all of his fire into that one sword.
Once it's swung, it's all over. Everything it cuts is burnt by an explosive flame. It's a sword of hellfire.
That's right... You've seen my Bankai once before, a thousand years ago.
But is it still the same?
Feel for yourself whether it's still the same as a thousand years ago.
3. After the battle
16 lines(It cuts. But no flames. What is going on? Has his Bankai really changed from a thousand years ago?)
(But the Shikai and Bankai of every single Zanpakuto are connected.)
(The power of his Bankai is fire. That is for certain. Then where has that fire gone?!)
The tip of the sword!
Correct.
Zanka no Tachi, Higashi (East). Kyokujitsuken (Rising Sun Blade).
I've concentrated all the heat of my fire into the tip of my sword.
It does not burn. It does not emit an explosive flame. It merely blows away everything it touches without a trace.
Not even Blut Vene, the essence of defense for you Quincies, can stop it!
So what...? In other words, all I have to do is slay you without coming in contact with that sword!
So naïve. Haven't you listened to anything I've said? I told you, this is the "East" of Zanka no Tachi.
If there is an East, there is also a West.
Fine. I'll make it so you can see it too.
Zanka no Tachi, Nishi (West). Zanjitsu Gokui (Sunset Hell Robe).
Its heat reaches 15 million degrees. You cannot even touch me.
Think of my body and my blade as being enveloped by the sun.
