1. Before the battle
20 linesCome on! I know you can!
Well, what are you just standing there for? You need to cheer him on too!
Huh?
That's the best you can do? He's out there risking his life for you and all you can say is "huh"? Why are you so afraid of him? You think he's some kind of monster?
............
You know that he has a kind heart! You've said so yourself! It's as plain as day! Even Nel can see it!
And Ichigo cares about you, too! He cares so much that when he heard your name, he attacked Master Ulquiorra with everything he had!
............
I know he's a Soul Reaper now, but don't forget: Ichigo's still human! Think about what he's gone through!
Every time he uses that mask, he exposes himself to its insane power. He has to be suffering!
He's doing it for you though, so he doesn't care! He uses the power and endures all the pain and the suffering for you!
How will he feel... How will he feel when he doesn't even hear your voice cheering him on?!
............
(That's right. The whole reason I came here was because I wanted to protect everyone. I thought I was ready to make whatever sacrifice.)
(But then... When I heard that Ichigo and the others had come to save me, somewhere deep in my heart, I felt such happiness.)
(Then I saw Ichigo wearing a mask and his eyes. They looked like my brother's eyes that night. I was so scared...)
(I thought that maybe he didn't come to save me after all.)
(But I was wrong...)
(All of my fears... They mean nothing. None of that matters anymore.)
(I'm not afraid of Ichigo. I'm only afraid that Ichigo will...)

Hrgh!
It looks like you were wrong again. You have reached your limit. It was fun... But now it's over.
Hah... Hah... Hah...
Don't die.
............
Don't die, Ichigo!
You don't have to win. And you don't have to fight for me.
Just don't get hurt! I couldn't bear it.
............
............
Kurosaki!
Wha...
So Grimmjow, here's the deal...
You see, I've had a change of heart. And I can't allow myself to get beaten by someone like you.
3. After the battle
4 linesIt's over.
You're a fool, Ichigo! I'm still here!
You think that you've won?! You think you've beaten me?! I'll scatter your bones in the sand!
Ichigo, look out!
