But now that I'm able to use Shikai, I want to help everyone.
That's nice, but the problem is these guys are trying to capture you. If you go out there, you're putting a burden on everyone who's trying to protect you.
But if I don't do something...! I just want to help.
No matter how hard they fight, they can't win against the captains.
Ghahhhh!
Yumichika!
Stay away!
I'll fight you 'til there's no strength left in my body. If I didn't, Ikkaku wouldn't respect me.
Heh. Hey, don't be shy. Come at me with every man you've got. It'll be more fun that way.
Huh?!
............
Ngh.
Damn it. He's more powerful than we had thought.
Rukia! Renji!
Pay attention here. I'm your opponent. After I finish with you, I need to pay back that girl for what she did to me earlier.
What's happening, folks? Still playing around down there? How 'bout I come and join you?
I just want to help.
No more! I won't put up with it!
If you're so upset...
2. After the battle
23 lines...allow me to put you out of your misery!
Time for your misery! Here we go! Rain down, Arazome Shigure!
Damn it.
Interesting. Your power seems to have gotten stronger. I believe I'll enjoy it even more the second time around.
Hold it. That confrontation will have to wait. First up, we have to get rid of the other Soul Reapers. Don't forget, that's what we promised Kageroza.
Kh...
Hold on. Nozomi's powers can absorb the spirit energy of a Zanpakuto, but they can also absorb Kido and my Ginreikojaku as well. Isn't that right?
Correct. I can absorb anything made of spirit energy.
Has everybody got that? Direct your spirit energy at Nozomi!
What?! You can't be serious! It's too dangerous!
No, let's do it. I'll do this if it means saving everyone.
I'm not concerned about my safety, and don't worry. I am now in full control of Arazome Shigure. I'll be fine.
Now, do it!
Hahhhh!
Haaaahhhh!
*Pant* *Pant*
Where are they? Did we get them?!
Looks like you did it.
Way to go, Nozomi! That was awesome! Nozomi! Nozomi!
Did you think that I'd be defeated so easily by a technique like that?
What? Damn you!
............
Head Captain!
