2-4 Bust Through the Senkaimon!

So what now, Ichigo?

Isn't it obvious? We have to return to the world of the living.

Be serious! This isn't the Seireitei as we know it!

As far as you and I are concerned, we're surrounded by the enemy. You really think we can just slip right through the Senkaimon?

By now, the Reigai must have blockaded it to prevent our escape. It's too risky.

Okay, so what do you suggest?

I have a plan.

Yoruichi!

You made it.

Do you really think that those half-brained soldiers could keep up with me? I bet that they're still trying to figure out how they lost track of me.

But I still think they're gonna keep a tight guard on the Senkaimon.

I agree, which is why we'll bust through the gate head on.

Do what?!

Breaking through will be nearly impossible! They may be fakes, but you said those Reigai possess powers equal to or greater than the captains!

We're going to break through because they're fakes.

So they've come.

We've gotta get past them to make it through to the Precipice World. Let's go!

Looks like they're charging in.

All we need to do is keep them from making it through the Senkaimon. But first, let's slow them down!

Keep going right through the Senkaimon!

Did you really think I'd be oblivious to what you were thinking of doing?

Did you really think I'd be oblivious to what "you" were thinking of doing?

You mean to sacrifice yourself?

If I do, what of it?!

Yoruichi! What do you think you're doing?!

Go! I'm not gonna get killed by the likes of these losers!

But what about-?

Just get going, Ichigo! Go protect the world of the living!

All right.

Stop them!

None of you are getting past me. Shunko!

All of you Reigai were originally created as an experiment for the purpose of doing battle. Your personalities and strength levels might be near-perfect copies of the real Soul Reapers, but you're a bit more aggressive.

And since that's your natural tendency, you won't hesitate to attack Ichigo, Rukia, or me, whenever you can.

That's why those decoys gave us the diversion we needed to get past you.

If those had been your real counterparts attacking us, they may have noticed the difference, and our plan probably wouldn't have been nearly as effective.

But it's too late. And I won't let you go after Ichigo either.

Is that so? Then we'll just have to do away with you first.

Impressive. You may be a fake, but you have real power.

Do you truly understand the situation you're in?

If you don't, then I'll show you. Scatter, Senbonzakura!

Your refusal to accept defeat is exactly like the real captain!
