Ichigo's Worry

After all this training, your Hollowfied time still isn't getting longer.

Are you sure you're serious about this, Ichigo?

I'm doing my very best.

*Sigh* Fine.

I'll come with you today. Just do what you do.

You don't have to follow me.

What?! How can you be so ungrateful?! I said I was gonna go out of my way to see how you're doing. You should bow to me and thank me!

Yeah, yeah. Thanks a bunch.

Oh, I see how it is. I try to be a little nice and you treat me like that.

Hey, wait up, Ichigo! Don't ignore me!

Rose, think you can help with Ichigo's training?

Yeah, sure.

It's not like it'd take much time.

Don't think it's that easy.

Ichigo. When you're Hollowfied, are you actually taking into consideration the timing when it disappears?

Not really.

You're at around a little over 10 seconds right now. It's not gonna suddenly go up to 30 seconds anytime soon.

Your guard goes down when it disappears. It's an invitation to attack.

You need to plan things out.

Grrr!

I know you're trying to concentrate on keeping it up longer, but the enemy's not gonna wait.

You should think about that for next time.

That was a useful tip for once, Shinji.

What do you mean? I always say useful things.

Sure thing.
