Yukio

Shouldn't you go help him? Aura is a tough opponent to face as a single player.

Kisuke

No, no, I'm more of a support character, if anything.

Shuhei can be moody, but he's a skilled attacker.

Yukio

Hmm? He doesn't look like it.

Kisuke

I guess he's more of a tank. No one is harder to kill than he is.

However, you guys really fight dirty. Are you and all your possessed friends going to be okay?

Aura

You are a frightening person after all, Kisuke Urahara.

Have you seen through my unique Fullbring ability already?

Kisuke

Now, now, very funny.

You haven't used a single unique ability, have you?

Well, I think it'd be more accurate to say that you can't use any.

Aura

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

Kisuke

What's wrong? I'd be happy if you could at least tell me if I'm correct or not.

Aura

How strange. I don't recall giving you so much information.

Kisuke

You mean here today, correct? The religious cult Xcution has made their presence known since the Quincies' attack on the Soul Society.

Did you think I would just ignore that?

Well, I think you handled things skillfully. I could only find public information about you, the founder of the cult.

However, after adding that up with the bits and pieces you've just shown me, I think I'm starting to see the complete picture.

Aura

How wonderful.

2. After the battle

Aura

I would expect no less from the man who created the Hogyoku.

We need you on our side, one way or another.

Shuhei

Hogyoku? Is that somehow related?

Aura

Yes. However, we cannot have a journalist hearing what we are about to say. Please take your leave now.

Shuhei

Seriously? Do you think I'm going to leave just because you asked?

Aura

Oh, no. That wasn't a question, it was a threat. If you continue to overstep, we will forcibly remove you from here, Lieutenant.

Shuhei

You're looking down on me way too much.

Aura

I'm surprised. You're nothing like that child I was teasing earlier.

Shuhei

You're still not taking this seriously enough. You think I'm the type of guy who wouldn't kill a woman?

Aura

No? From what I can tell, you are a typical Soul Reaper.

If your sense of justice gives you a reason to kill someone, then I imagine you do not go easy on anyone, regardless of their age or gender.

After all, you even killed your own mentor because of that justice of yours.

Shuhei

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

Aura

Oh, you aren't angry?

Shuhei

It's the truth. Also...

Aizen

I didn't kill Kaname Tosen because I saw him as a remnant of a defeated army who deserved to be punished.

It was my way of showing mercy.

Shuhei

Those words aren't provoking at all compared to what Aizen said.

Aura

You're a very interesting person. What do you say? Will you join my side?

Shuhei

Do you understand what's happening at all? The only reason this blade hasn't sliced your neck open is because we need you to free the town.

(But it's strange. She's right in front of me, but I still don't sense any genuine Spiritual Pressure from this woman.)

(It's not nonexistent, but it seems very weak.)

(Is this what all Fullbringers are like? I feel like Kugo and his friends had stronger Spiritual Pressures than this.)

Aura

As Mr. Urahara stated earlier, I am in charge of a religious organization called Xcution.

The people in town are not our followers, they are unbelievers who opposed us. Although, as you can see, they are very cooperative now.

We currently have 770,000 followers.

Shuhei

Seven hundred what?!
