Chapter 4

Jushiro!

U-Ugh... What's this, Shunsui?

Hold my kimono, would ya? I'll need a minute. Looks like this guy's ready to throw down.

Yeah. Your Bankai intrigues me. I wanna see it.

He sheathed it? What's he thinking?

Lilinette! Come.

Don't bark at me like that! I'm not your slave, you know!

Why do you need the kid?

Because this kid is my other half.

When the others evolved from Hollow to Arrancar, they divided their powers into a body and a sword. We, on the other hand, divided ours between two bodies.

And when we are reunited as one, our power becomes fully released.

Kick about, Los Lobos!

Allllll right...

Round two. Let's go, Lilinette.

Hah!

A sneak attack in the middle of our conversation? That's quite...

Bushogoma!

Takaoni.

You didn't let me finish my sentence. I was saying that's quite a desperate move, Captain. It's not like you. Not at all.

Well, actually, I was hoping to spare you the pain and kill you with my first strike. But then you went and dodged it. I gotta say, that release of yours is no joke.

While we're on the subject, your two pistols... I bet both shoot Ceros, don't they?

Very astute.

Yeah, but that's not the only thing they shoot... Am I right?

You're wrong.

And you're a terrible liar. Come on, there's no point in hiding it any longer.

You're quite presumptive. I went through all the trouble of a sword release. You can at least show me what I want: your Bankai.

No matter how powerful you might be in that released state of yours, a Cero blast isn't enough to kill me. And pretty soon... Huh?

Cero Metralleta.

It's no use running away.
