6-6...

Don't make me laugh.

Not a single molecule in your body believes you are equals with this kid.

Hey, Ikomikidomoe! How could you say that to Lord Tokinada?!

It's all right, Hikone. Ikomikidomoe isn't like the Zanpakuto you released from an Asauchi before.

Just like my Kutenkyokoku, it's been passed down from others.

It'll take a little longer for the sword to understand you.

I don't mind if it doesn't understand me! But it makes me sad if it misunderstands you!

I see. You're very kind, Hikone. However, I'm not the one who will be using Ikomikidomoe.

No, I cannot use it.

The only ones who can wield that Zanpakuto are probably you and Ichigo Kurosaki. Oh...

Perhaps Kugo Ginjo as well.

Kugo? I've heard that name before! Is he strong?

Why don't you find out for yourself? As a matter of fact, that's one of the reasons I called for you.

That Arrancar you fought before has actually reappeared. Kugo and his gang are with him, too.

This is your chance to prove that you are the king. Rush over there right away and show them once and for all that you have the abilities of a king.

This time, I'm expecting you to win, Hikone.

Leave it to me, Lord Tokinada!

I'm glad to see Ikomikidomoe thriving.

There is also movement in Karakura Town. I see. That's a wise decision.

This is our one chance to seize that Enriched Spirit Zone.

Only now, while Ichigo Kurosaki is away.
