I've been expecting you, Byakuya. I'm just going to cut to the chase. My orders are to stop anyone from getting through past this point.
If you wish to turn back and leave, now's your chance.
You stand in my way and I will eliminate you.
That makes this an easy choice then.
One question.
A question from you? How unusual.
Why would someone of your caliber choose to follow that man?
What, Kageroza? If you knew, would it matter?
............
Never mind. There's someone I want to protect no matter what.
In order to keep her safe, I'll do whatever it takes.
My goal is to settle the score with my original. What I'm determined to protect, my original wants to protect as well.
But he doesn't have what it takes. Don't you see? Only the power Kageroza gave me will make it possible!
So until she's safe, I cannot lose to anyone!
Using any means necessary, including the powers of another... That is how someone with no honor thinks. I won't lose to someone who's tossed away their pride.
2. Second boss
6 linesYou think I've thrown away my pride? I suppose it might appear that way. I'll grant you that.
After all, we can never become the originals. And even if we defeat the originals, Reigai are still Reigai.
And that's precisely the reason why I will use any and all means to protect my own intentions!
That's the one thing I can hold onto with pride as a Reigai!
Hyoten Hyakkaso.
There's no way for you to escape now.
3. After the battle
3 linesI should've known.
There is one thing that the both of us share.
To protect my pride, I'll use any means necessary.
