Yumichika

So beautiful. I'm able to truly see my form, which up until this point I've only been able to admire in a mirror.

Reigai Yumichika

Haha, that works both ways. I have to say, we look pretty good.

Reigai Ikkaku

Hyahhhh!

Ikkaku

Just as I expected of me! You're pretty good!

Reigai Ikkaku

So are you!

Yumichika

Excuse me, Ikkaku. I'm sorry to bother you, but would you mind doing me a favor?

Ikkaku

Can't it wait? I'm kinda busy!

Yumichika

I'm sorry, but it can't. It's very important.

Ikkaku

Let it go! Concentrate on the fight!

Yumichika

That's the problem I have. I can't do it!

Ikkaku

Huh?

Yumichika

I'm stuck! I tried and tried, but I find I really can't damage such a beautiful specimen as myself!

So what do you think about swapping opponents, just for this fight?

Ikkaku

Are you nuts?!

2. After the battle

Reigai Ikkaku

Hah, what a bust! I thought you'd put up more of a fight!

Ikkaku

Damn you!

Yumichika

How could you?

Reigai Yumichika

You were under the impression that in a face-to-face confrontation, I would never attack myself. You were mistaken.

Don't misunderstand me, Yumichika. I think you're beautiful, just like you do.

However, I thought your face would look even more beautiful, maybe transcendent, if it was covered in blood!

I can see now that I was right. There's a certain majestic quality to your skin.

I wanted to try it before this, but I didn't want to damage my own body in the process. I'm so glad you became available for the experiment.

Reigai Ikkaku

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

Reigai Yumichika

What do you think? Should we finish them off?

Reigai Ikkaku

Might as well. They're done anyway.

Uryu

Are you people...Reigai?

Reigai Ikkaku

Oh, so you know about us, do you?

Reigai Yumichika

Forget about it, Ikkaku. There's no point wasting our time fighting these weaklings anymore.

We need to start looking for Nozomi Kujo.

Reigai Ikkaku

Heh, I guess you're right.

Uryu

Hey!
