Chapter 3: Two Forms

Hey, you're finally back. What took you guys so long?

Kisuke, I'm going to borrow your underground training area for a while.

Go right ahead.

Is something wrong with Uryu?

I'm not sure.

Ginrei Kojaku, Seeleschneider...

Do you hear my voice? If you do, then please answer me.

Aww, Uryu... He really does want to talk to Ginrei Kojaku and Seeleschneider.

Yeah, looks like it.

I don't think your weapons will answer if you're just calling out at random.

Don't talk to me right now. I'm trying to concentrate.

In order for Soul Reapers to achieve Bankai, they must first synchronize and converse with their Zanpakuto, which then allows the Zanpakuto to materialize.

Maybe you can start by trying to imagine what your weapons would look like if they had a persona.

You can base their image off of their names.

That's a good point. With a name like Ginrei Kojaku that has a word for a type of bird in it, maybe it has feathers like me.

It'd ruin the image if it had dirty looking feathers like yours.

How do you not understand this beauty? Sometimes, I'm just so sickened by my master's lack of taste.

Have you taken a good look at yourself lately? I suggest you go look in a mirror.

Uh, calm down, you two.

You're completely out of your mind if you can't understand my beauty! And to think you're my master! This is the worst!

Speak for yourself. I don't even know where to begin with your distasteful sense in beauty!

Why don't we have the owner of those weapons tell us what's better! Who do you think is right, me or him?

My beauty versus his beauty... Let's make it clear which is more fitting for your weapon!

Wh-Why me?

Are you okay, Uryu?

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Let's take a quick break and think of another method. I'll go get some snacks!

No, it's fine, Orihime. Thank you.

I fought three Soul Reapers in officer seat positions and tried to speak directly to my weapons, but I still couldn't hear Ginrei Kojaku or Seeleschneider's voices.

I think it's pointless to do any more than this.

Uryu...

Uryu, are you there? Can you hear my voice?

Huh? Huh?! A voice? But whose is it?

Greetings. I am Ginrei Kojaku.

You're kidding! Are you really Ginrei Kojaku?!
