Chapter 5: Submission

This is bad. Isn't that thing falling?

Hey, hold on now. If something that huge falls from all the way up there, then...

Yeah, it'll be the end of Karakura Town, I'd say.

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

You're not thinking of trying to stop that thing, are you?!

Wait! You'll die if you try to stop it in that state!

Thank you, Aura. I appreciate you putting on such a good show right up until your death!

Hikone, this order is of the highest priority. Kill Aura.

Would you mind moving out of the way, Shuhei Hisagi?

Are you planning to cut down Aura?

Yes! That is what Lord Tokinada ordered!

Please do not trouble yourself. You know that I cannot be harmed by physical attacks, don't you?

So, you won't be getting out of my way?

That's a shame.

*Gasp*

Hey, you really went overboard. Did you actually think you could win?

I don't know. It's just that, it's got to be me. Otherwise Hikone will die.

And I also just had a feeling that I'd be able to talk with you, like this.

Don't go getting yourself cut in half over some vague feeling.

You've had a rough time up until now, right? You wanted to be a Soul Reaper, but you weren't sure how to go about it.

You were hellbent on becoming the perfect Soul Reaper and you struggled desperately to learn every last thing exactly by the book.

Well, this is the result.

You have finally subdued me.

Bankai! Fushinokojyo (Death Wind Noose)!

Captain Iba's been going to work right after training every day. How admirable.

I guess that's what it takes to be a captain. I wish a certain someone would learn that.

Yeah. Pay attention, Shuhei.

I'll have you know, I've already mastered my Bankai, Captain!

I haven't seen it.

I haven't either.

What?! I know you've seen it, Captain!
