3-6 Justice and Hatred

I didn't fear anything. I didn't understand anything.

Huh? What are you saying?

I was always convinced that I was doing the right thing. I was determined to open Captain Tosen's eyes to the truth when I fought him.

You haven't changed at all.

Even as you stand there to confront me, your words don't have a shred of fear in them.

(Maybe it's me who's mistaken. My justice, my world, might be what's wrong.)

(I never even considered it before.)

(I had convinced myself that Aizen was manipulating him.)

He who fears not the blade he wields has no right to wield that blade.

(I didn't fear the Soul Reapers or the Court Guards' justice at all.)

(It was only because I believed in the justice of the Soul Reapers. That was the only reason!)

(But Captain Tosen had lived with that fear in his heart all that time!)

If I really do fear fighting, then why did I not even try listening to what Captain Tosen said?!

Saying something stupid like I could open his eyes!

Oh! I see now. Do you regret it?

You stabbed Kaname Tosen as you went on so brazenly about how you're a champion of justice, without even knowing his true feelings!

So what will you do about it? Would you like to go back in time?

Do you want to return to the height of that battle and cry your eyes out as you join Tosen to work under Aizen?

Still, I won't say that Captain Tosen was right.

Even if everything you said is true... Even then, I would still stand up to Captain Tosen.

Is that so? Shall I make it so, then?

What could you have achieved back then, anyway? Kaname Tosen's justice was absolute.

And besides, is your justice not just shallow and by-the-book in comparison?

Suzumushi Nishiki, Benihiko!

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

What?

You have no right to talk about justice.

Someone who doesn't even fear death doesn't get to talk about Captain Tosen!

Hahaha! Is that so?! Your attacks have gotten much fiercer! How amusing!

(Will he get even faster?)

Guh!

Lord Tokinada?

This can't be...

Did I get him?

(Did I really raise my blade against him for the sake of justice?)

(Or did I do it simply because I couldn't forgive him?)

(This is not the time to think about that. I still have to go after Aura and Hikone.)

(Who said that?)

Stay sharp, Shuhei! The woman went that way!

............!

(Aura?!)

(It's impossible to sense Aura's Spiritual Pressure. Where is she?!)

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

What?!
