Zanpakuto: The Alternate Tale Part 3, 5-4

When you call to me, Koga, I'm compelled to go wherever you are. I am your Zanpakuto, after all.

Let's go, Koga.

His voice...never reached me.

...masa...

Muramasa... Muramasa!

Muramasa!!!

How ironic. After all this, it's your voice that reaches me.

This feeling... Is this what you've been trying to explain to me all along?

Yeah.

I see. I wound up making quite a mess of Koga, didn't I?

Everyone makes mistakes. That means that someday, you'll fix it.

I hope...

...someday.

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

Ichigo...

Is everyone all right?

Yes, we're safe.

Is Muramasa really gone for good?

Yeah.

And he kept his pride as a Zanpakuto until the very end.

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

Byakuya?

You okay?

Ichigo Kurosaki, this is the second time I am thanking you.

I appreciate your help.

Sure.
