Yhwach

The principals of 13 Court Guard Squads are gone. Squad Zero should be showing up. We'll retreat and wait until they arrive.

What is that?

Ichigo

Don't disappear... Don't disappear...

Aaaaaaaaaa!!!

Akon

Finally. Sorry, I really wanted to open it earlier from this side. But...

...things didn't go so well.

Byakuya

Were Rukia...and Renji...alive?

Ichigo

Yeah, don't worry. They're alive.

Byakuya

I see... Good...

Ichigo

............

Byakuya

I'm...not going to last much longer.

As a captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads, I could not take out those who trampled all over the Seireitei.

I led many court guards to their deaths. I brought sorrow to their men and families, only to lose and die. I am deeply embarrassed.

On the other hand, you are a human. Not only should you not be involved in this fight...you should not even be here at all.

So forgive me for the audacity of asking you this favor.

Please...

Save the Soul Society. Ichigo Kurosaki!

Byakuya

He had no response.

That's fine. That's the kind of guy he is. I know his answer even if he didn't respond.

I'm counting on you...Ichigo Kurosaki.
