1. Before the battle

Before I was promoted to be your lieutenant...
Long before I even joined the 13 Court Guard Squads, I was obsessed with one thing. The one man that I wanted to surpass. That man is you, Captain Kuchiki.
You released your Zanpakuto without calling its name. Does this mean that you...
And I will surpass you, Captain Kuchiki.
Bankai! Hihio Zabimaru!
2. Before the boss
7 linesWell, well. When did you achieve Bankai?
It figures you didn't know. You, who have no time for even your own subordinates.
I'll say it once again. I'm going now to save Rukia!
I've already given you my answer to that.
Very well. If you won't let me pass, I'll kill you and step over your corpse.
Unlikely. With your ability, you will find it impossible to make me fall on even one knee.
Scatter, Senbonzakura!
3. After the battle
9 linesRenji, you are not ready to use your Bankai in battle.
I don't need your lectures! I already knew all of that when I came here in the first place.
Luckily for me, though, my Zanpakuto is not only big, it's also strong enough to lose some segments and still keep on fighting!
In case you've forgotten, or if perhaps it didn't occur to you, I'll remind you, Renji, that I too have Bankai.
*Gasp*
Bankai! Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!
A thousand blades rise from the ground. With their scattering, infinitely more blades then rise, impossible to know their numbers.
Impossible to even read their path, much less avoid them.
Nothing to do but watch, as one watches the wind pass, and wait for the blades to pass through you. One can do nothing but stand there, frozen, and then be swept away from this world.
