Another Deathberry: Chapter 2

Well, that's a nice little greeting. You forgot who I am?

What the hell are you still doing here? What happened to Zangetsu?!

I saw the two of you back then...

Zangetsu this, Zangetsu that. You never freakin' change, do you?

Dammit... What's going on here?!

And why is my Shihakusho back to the way it used to be?!

Because you still don't know anything.

Yeah, Zangetsu and I formed Tensa Zangetsu back then.

The world sunk to the bottom of the ocean. You learned the Final Getsugatensho, and you lost all your Soul Reaper powers.

You think just because you abandon this world and run off to live a carefree life in your own, I'll just disappear?

You don't get it. Nothing new there. You don't get what you've been given. You don't get what you have.

What...did I have?

If you can't figure that out, then this is as far as you'll ever get!

Oh, what's wrong? Is that all you've got?

(He's so strong... Why?)

(He's supposed to be the same as me, so why can't I...?)

What makes him so different from me?

It's just one simple thing. I know what I am.

And that's something you can't figure out!

What you are?

Yeah, you did a nice job bringing the skyscrapers back, but that's about it.

Right now, you're not even using your full potential.

I've said it before, haven't I? Either one of us can become the king or the horse.

The moment I sense the slightest weakness in you, I'll throw you off and crush your skull.

I'll crack it just right so all that dull, passive brain tissue pours right out the top of your head.

Something...I already have?

I'll be taking your Fullbring now.

(The thing Kugo stole from me was the Fullbring I already had inside me.)

(Why was I able to use Fullbring?)

The power that lies within us is closer to that of a Hollow's than a Soul Reaper's.

You possessed the power of a Hollow once before too.

(He's not Zangetsu. And he's not Tensa Zangetsu either.)

(Then this person in front of me...)

He has to be...!

So that's what you were trying to say.

Oh, you finally figured it out?

Now that's a nice look on your face. But it ain't enough!

Hrahhhh!!!
