4-2 Marechiyo Omaeda Arrives?!?

Nozomi should be with Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends. If we track every strong Spiritual Pressure we detect in the town, we should be able to find her.

I'm way ahead of you. Tell me something I don't know.

Why are you bringing this up? Our orders were very clear. We've been sent here to capture Ichigo Kurosaki.

Ignoring commands for the sake of Kageroza's personal mission is madness.

I beg to differ. Whichever one we give priority to, the distance to our goal will still be the same.

I have to tell you, neither mission suits me. But since we've already arrived, wouldn't it be more fun to fight with the original versions of ourselves?

Yes, it would. I'm very interested in taking on my original form.

That's well and good, but I'm not interested in you!

So, you're here!

The originals!

It's time to get rid of these phonies. We have an advantage in numbers.

What makes you say that? We always fight one-on-one. It's a matter of honor!

Ikkaku, let's not quibble... Huh?

You don't really have an advantage! Now that I'm here, it's four against four! Heh!

Who are you?

What does it matter anyway? Now, it's four against four. Now we can face off without worrying about whether it's fair or not.

If that's the case, and we don't have to hold back, then we should each take on our own imposter.

Well, that's fine for you guys, but where does that leave me? I have to fight this idiot!

I mean, look at him with his silly hair and his stupid outfit. Not to mention that ugly collar he's wearing around his neck... Huh?

That collar he's wearing. I've seen it before!

Yeah, I guess you have, chubs!

You don't recognize me? Maybe this will do the trick. Smash 'em, Gegetsuburi!

Gegetsuburi? Wait a minute! That means you're...!

That's right. Your worst fear. You're looking at yourself, Marechiyo Omaeda!

Hold on, how can you be me? Why don't you give me some answers? Are you making fun of me? What's with that look?

There's a simple explanation. You're so damn ugly that I refused to take on your body!

What?! You're telling me they allowed that?!

Oh, yes indeed. And now that I'm the new Marechiyo Omaeda, I'm afraid I have no choice but to eliminate you from this world.

Hahahaha! That's hilarious!

Hahaha, best idea I've heard today. I mean, you really are ugly, so why not have him take over? Then he can be the real Soul Reaper, and you can be the fake one.

Grrrr! How dare an imposter embarrass me in front of my comrades?! Gah! Smash 'em, Gegetsuburi!

Hold on! What do you think you're doing? You can't just go and start the fight without me! I'm coming too!

Hey, wait for me!

Take this seriously. Woah! What?!

This makes absolutely no sense! His Gegetsuburi is way bigger than mine!

Naturally! Because everything about me is superior to anything you've ever been in your life! Hahahaha!!!

That's not fair, you jerk!

*Sigh*...

*Pant* *Pant*

Hahaha! Is that what you call running? With your body, it would be faster if you rolled along like you did a minute ago!

Shut your mouth, smart ass! I didn't roll! That move was Hakuda.

Fine! Whatever!

Kh!

Nice move, me. You blocked that last attack pretty well...

...but why aren't you using your Shikai?

Gh!

You're not still afraid of your Zanpakuto, are you? That's foolish. In a fight, power's extremely critical. Given the chance, I'd have no hesitation using this power, believe me!

You originals suck! That's the lesson from this fight.

You outdated older models need to be replaced with more efficient versions like us.

Why wasn't your attack effective? Your imposter doesn't have any more power than you! He's using the same weapons you are!

Not my fault. Don't you remember what Captain Kurotsuchi told us?

Interestingly, you'll find that Reigai possess the exact same powers as their originals. However, there is one difference.

I've found that they are much more belligerent. If they're involved in a battle and it gets progressively bloodier, it seems to stimulate that aspect of their personality.

That definitely gives them an advantage because they can go beyond their natural limits. Damn, we have to do something about that!

Hey, Shuhei. Just follow my lead, all right?

What's the matter? Did you finally decide it was time to give up?

I'm afraid you've got this all backwards. If you guys apologize now, we'll consider sparing you.

Surprise. Your Gegetsuburi seems to have gotten not only bigger, but heavier as well. With your movements that big and heavy, capturing you is an easy matter.

You little bastard!

Try not to forget that I'm your opponent!

Ngah!

Whaddya know? You guys underestimated us. You lost because you just relied on raw power. You wouldn't be cut out for the Stealth Force.

You bastard! That was a cheap move.

Hado 63: Raikoho!

Wait a minute! I can use a technique like that?

Move it!

Hahhhh!
