Tokinada

To think, an Espada jumped right into the palm of my hand.

Hikone.

Hikone

Yes, Lord Tokinada! Did you call?

Mr. Yamada has completely healed me!

This time, I will definitely be able to live up to your expectations!

Tokinada

Don't say such foolish things. You never betrayed my expectations.

If I hope that I want you to lose, then you will promptly lose.

Hikone

Lord Tokinada?

Tokinada

That previous failure will be a gain for you and Ikomikidomoe.

You may be mighty, but you aren't almighty. You must taste defeat once so that your arrogance doesn't put you in the way of a lethal blow.

That was the point of that battle in Hueco Mundo.

Do you feel disdain for me because I hoped you would lose, Hikone?

Hikone

No, sir! I'm not that smart, so it's hard for me to understand, but if it's as you say then I'm very happy!

I will continue living up to your expectations!

Tokinada

I see. I wouldn't mind if you felt disdain for me. You are the future king after all.

Over time, it will annoy you to have to look at a worthless noble such as myself, to have to hear my name or even acknowledge my existence.

In some ways, it'd be preferable even though you felt disdain for me, because then I would still remain in your memory.

Hikone

What are you saying?! I would never forget you, Lord Tokinada!

I wouldn't have even been born if not for you!

Also, you were the one who said we should be equals!

Tokinada

I see. Thank you, Hikone. I'm very happy to hear that you want us to be equals as well.

Hikone

Yes! Lord Toki...

???

Don't make me laugh.
