Sajin

Very impressive, Captain Soi Fon. Even with your rather slight build, you were able to take my attack straight on.

However, you lack the destructive force to defeat me with a single attack. And as long as the attack you use is Nigeki Kessatsu, your aim gives away your intention.

Reading your trajectory, then redirecting it and striking first, means victory will be mine.

Reigai Soi Fon

Hmph. Not if my attack were to change.

Sajin

You won't get away!

Reigai Soi Fon

If I can't hit you with Suzumebachi's second sting, I'll just wear down your strength until you have no way to stop me!

Sajin

I will do whatever it takes to defeat you. And when I finish with you, I'll go help Sir Genryusai, the man who taught me how to fight as a Soul Reaper.

Reigai Soi Fon

Hmph. That isn't gonna be possible.

Sajin

Why not?

Reigai Soi Fon

The Head Captain's fate is about to be sealed. You must've noticed it. The Head Captain's Spiritual Pressure is becoming weaker.

And he's not the only one getting weaker.

Kenpachi Zaraki, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Byakuya Kuchiki, none of those real captains will survive and have the opportunity to reach Kageroza.

Sajin

All of you Reigai underestimate our Head Captain. For the past thousand years, Sir Genryusai has remained as the most powerful Soul Reaper that lives.

Reigai Shunsui

Very impressive, Old Man Yama. It's becoming more and more obvious why you've been Head Captain all these years. Even with all the wounds you have, you still stand tall.

Reigai Retsu

Despite that, your spirit energy is gradually weakening.

Reigai Jushiro

If we continue wearing you down, this battle will eventually end.

Genryusai

Your opinion has been proven wrong before.

Reigai Shunsui

Oh, boy. From the way he's acting, he's got no intention of giving up.

Reigai Jushiro

Come, Master Genryusai. Let's put an end to this, shall we?

Genryusai

Feel my Ennetsu Jigoku. Resist until you are ashes.

Sajin

Captain Soi Fon, why is it that you fight?

Reigai Soi Fon

Because it is my duty to fight.

Sajin

I see. That's exactly the kind of answer I'd expect from you. But that can't be the only reason.

Reigai Soi Fon

What?

Sajin

Someone who rises to the rank of captain can't increase their powers without bearing some burden.

There must be something more. Another reason for you to fight.

Reigai Soi Fon

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

Hmph.

Sajin

I sense you have another reason. We all possess something inside us that we cannot compromise. It's that inner passion that gives us the strength and courage to fight.

Well, let's settle this!

Sir Genryusai... I'm on...

Kageroza

Not one of them was able to find their way here and reach me. Soon, the remaining captains will be gone like the others.

It won't be long now.
