2-3 A Mysterious Power

Ah, now I see. This attack of yours weakens the bonds of my Reishi, allowing them to be converted into your own energy.

You're very astute.

And your appearance reminds me of someone. Your demeanor is quite similar to that of a scientist I despise.

Are you referring to Captain Kurotsuchi? He is my superior officer, actually.

I thought so. That must be why you knew about my Seeleschneider.

No, this is the first time I've seen it.

The first time?

I am quite capable of analyzing my opponents' skill and strength on the spot. You see, unlike Mayuri, I consider myself a true dispassionate scientist.

Unfortunately, that technique of yours doesn't have nearly enough speed to have even the remotest possibility of getting me.

Oddly enough, I'm aware of that.

Gahhhh!

It's really simple. It's obvious that the speed of Ginreikojaku wouldn't be able to catch you.

But it turns out, all I needed to do was to increase the speed of my Hirenkyaku.

It sounded like you're not very fond of that scientist we were discussing.

What a shame. If we weren't enemies, we might've gotten along.

Me, despise Captain Kurotsuchi? Nothing could be further from the truth.

He is a wonderful superior officer. The Captain does have sharp elbows in his dealings with others, but I respect him.

And yet, I know I am superior to him in all respects. Really, that's all there is to it.

Go mad, Raiku!

!!!

Can't be... Not from that distance. I never even...saw you coming...

Lieutenant Kira, Lieutenant Ise. Thank you for being so patient with me.

We shall go after I eliminate this Mod Soul.

Gh!

Allow me to put you out of your misery.

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

I'm surprised you're still alive.

(His movements... It's not just an issue of him simply being able to move fast.)

(It was as though when he made a move, that movement was somehow cut out of time.)

It seems I've been toying with you, and for that I'm deeply sorry. So then, let's end this.

Hrahhhh!

Uryu!

Orihime, quick. Heal Uryu's wounds. I'll do what I can to give you a little more time.

You give her time? Oh, no.

From the way you talk, it sounds like you believe you can somehow control time.

Ghah!

Oh, no!

Now then, shall we put an end to them?
