1. Before the battle
24 linesAfter the Great Soul King War ended, Tokinada became the head of the Tsunayashiro family.
The inner malice he showed grew and blossomed like a budding tree, guiding his every move.
In the midst of his machinations, he orders Hikone to destroy several Arrancar, calling it a "game."
Hikone continues to develop in accordance with Tokinada's expectations. However, Tokinada is also focused on something more...
So, are you enjoying our little "game"?
I sure am, Lord Tokinada! Do I have to destroy another Arrancar for the next round?
Where's it going to be this time?
I'm thrilled to see you're enjoying yourself. Let's see, for the next one...
Shut up! I won't let you have your way again!
You're a worthless insect who can't do a thing without this child as your pawn.
Hey! Don't talk to Lord Tokinada like that!
I'm so sorry.
No, it's fine. Ikomikidomoe makes a fair point.
After all, I can't use Ikomikidomoe. Without you, I'd be in a real bind, Hikone.
Really? I'm so happy I'm useful to you! It's my pleasure!
Annoying cur. If only His Majesty were here.
Why do you keep saying that, Ikomikidomoe? I'm the one who's going to become the king, remember?
You just helped me make my decision.
Your goal this time is to defeat this so-called "king" that Ikomikidomoe keeps talking about and make it acknowledge you as the true king, Hikone. How does that sound?
Aura, you can make the necessary arrangements, I trust?
Yes, sir. Right away.
Oh, and if any other Arrancar get in your way while you're at it, destroy them, too.
Understood! This time, I'll destroy the king for sure and exceed all your expectations for me, Lord Tokinada!
Let's go, Ikomikidomoe!
2. Before the boss

............
Is this... Can it be? Spectacular! It's finally complete?
The king... Where is the king?
Ikomikidomoe, where do we have to go to find this king of yours?
Who has the nerve to interrupt my precious relaxation time?
Oh, sorry about that. My name's Hikone Ubuginu, and this is Ikomikidomoe.
Dear me, I've forgotten my manners. I should have introduced myself first. I'm Szayelaporro Grantz.
I haven't seen you here before, but I must say, you have impeccable timing. There's a little experiment I'd like to try.
Impudent worm. I'll return you to the sands of Hueco Mundo from whence you came.
Hmm, I guess you're not the king if Ikomikidomoe's talking to you like that. Guess I'll have to demolish you, then!
Demolish me? You make it sound so simple.
Feel like changing your tone now that you've seen this?! Just imagining what comes next is such a pleasant thought!
3. After the battle
10 linesA Soul Reaper and an Arrancar...with human soul fragments mixed in? Heh, heh, heh. Now, this excites me.
I'll have to separate each element out to determine how much of each you're composed of... Wait, maybe I'll need to determine how they're all linked together first. In that case, I'll...
The king... Where is the king?
King? What king? Anyways, can you please be quiet? I just need a little more... Ahh.
............
Ikomikidomoe, are we done with this guy?
Indeed. I've no use for him.
Okay. See you!
Eureka! Huh? I suppose a child like that isn't able to appreciate the sublime brilliance of my research.
I guess I'm not surprised, but I don't recall giving them permission to leave.
