1. Before the battle
14 linesRespect?
That's right.
Who is it thanks to that grains of Reishi constantly fall over Hueco Mundo?
Not to mention the last war.
Only the Soul Reapers of the Soul Society know of Ichigo Kurosaki's achievements.
The only thing the world of the living has is masses of humans, blissfully unaware that their world came close to total destruction.
Is that really forgivable?
Don't talk about Ichigo when you don't even know him. He's not the type of person to care about something like that.
Oh, well if it isn't the Arrancar woman. Even if he does not care, is that good enough?
The humans in the world of the living will go on not knowing that they were granted the privilege of being alive.
They will spend their days without a care, grumbling over their trivial troubles and continuing to live their deprived lives. Does that sound fair to you?
You're free to think whatever you want.
But don't use Ichigo to justify your own selfish theories.
Well, excuse me.
2. After the battle
17 linesHowever, it is true that I am genuinely grateful for Ichigo Kurosaki.
If Yhwach had not been defeated, there would no longer be borders between the three realms, and we would have returned to a world without a cycle of souls. Such an event would have erased the history of the Soul Society.
I want to create a world that sufficiently praises achievements that prevent such things from happening.
That kind of doesn't sound like you, Tokinada. Why don't you try and tell me what you're really planning?
I thought I told you, Shunsui, you are merely the head captain of the Court Guards. Do you really believe you can understand my motives?
I do. Not as the head captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads, but as an old friend. I can see right through you.
You just want to see everything slowly fall apart as everyone's worldview crumbles. Isn't that right?
............
The world of the living has its own society and beliefs. As of right now, the existence of souls isn't even scientifically recognized in their world.
If we went to them with undeniable proof and made the existence of Soul Reapers, souls, and Hollows public, anyone with strong spiritual beliefs would fly into a panic.
Even more worrisome, people who didn't believe in an afterlife would find out about the world of the dead.
If there was proof of the existence or nonexistence of a world after death, even if the world of the living itself didn't crumble, its society and culture would collapse.
The world of the living and Hueco Mundo may be resting on thin ice, but it is at least somewhat balanced as it is now.
When I thought about why you'd want to reform the world, even though it would create so much chaos, I could only come up with one possible explanation.
Because you want to see it happen.
You simply want to see people's value systems collapse. You want to watch and laugh while snacking on tea and cookies as they fight each other in their confusion and bring destruction upon themselves.
You've broken all of these unwritten rules up until now for that sole reason. You're planning to force a new value system onto the world of the living.
