1. Before the battle
22 linesI wasn't...strong...enough...
Please...forgive me...
Wait...?!
(Who would the boss apologize to? Who would you apologize to for losing a war you yourself started?)
I could not...carry out your order...
You... Who are you?!
............
Yhwach, you...
You did well, Stern Ritter Y, "The Yourself."
R of Loyd Royd.
Bastard... What have you been up to until now?
I went and met Sosuke Aizen.
I told him to come under my command as a special force. But as expected, he turned me down.
It's fine though. We have all the time in the world.
Well then, have you used up all your strength fighting an imposter, Shigekuni Yamamoto?
Quiet!
Bankai!
It's not that we couldn't steal your Bankai. But who else can control your immense power besides me?
That is why I ordered Royd to stand down until I arrived.
Now what? I could use your Bankai to wake up the corpses of your men, Genryusai Yamamoto.
You bastard!!!
Farewell, Shigekuni Yamamoto.
2. After the battle
22 lines
Hey... What is this, Old Man Yama? Is it like the God of Fire from some old tale?
That's a monster that came to the Soul Society a very long time ago. The Soul Society was in a rough state. That thing made it worse.
It'll never show up again. If it ever does...
...I'll probably never be back here again.
............
............!!!
YAMA!!!
Shigekuni Yamamoto, you halfwit. You probably couldn't understand why you weren't one of the five I was concerned about.
Why didn't you heal your left arm? You could've done so if you ordered that human to. Why didn't you?
I'll tell you why. It's because you didn't want to exploit humans.
I know. Even amidst the battle with Aizen, you were apprehensive about getting Ichigo Kurosaki involved.
And even now, you put not only the Soul Society but the world of the living as well on your back, stood in front of me, and lost.
You've gotten weak, Shigekuni Yamamoto. You were different before.
The original 13 Court Guard Squads that you founded were only court guards in name. They were cold-hearted killers.
But because of that they were to be greatly feared. And it was you who kept them in line. You were truly a beast with the sword.
You used everything and anything to slay an enemy. The lives of your men weighed only as much as ash to you.
But that all changed when you killed us Quincies off. Once you people had peace, you had more to protect, more to love.
You became a hesitant and gutless bunch over some foolish sense of justice and pride.
You died not realizing this, but I'll tell you now. The Soul Society is about to die...
But the 13 Court Guard Squads died with us a thousand years ago.
............
Time to finish this. Tell every member of the Stern Ritter to thoroughly devastate the Soul Society.
