Nn...?
Ichigo!
............
............
His Hollowfication! It's been reversed!
Ichigo!
Orihime! You need to take Ichigo and get him away from here, now.
No, Rukia. I can't leave you guys alone.
What are you talking about?
Nozomi's still inside of him.
Impossible... What just happened?
Right at that moment, my consciousness seemed to go completely blank.
Kh!
It's me. I need more fusion stabilizer. Prepare it immediately.
I'll get on it right away.
Substitute Soul Reaper, I can see that ignoring you before was a mistake.
Although your spirit energy has left you, I can no longer allow you to live.
Grh...
............
All of you, step aside at once!
Sorry, pal. In case you haven't noticed, we don't take orders from an enemy. So go ahead and take your best shot.
If you want to kill Ichigo, you're gonna have to go through us.
He's been our friend for a long time, and we're not going to hand him over to you without a fight.
A friend, you say? Ridiculous. You're fools if you're willing to spill your own blood for the sake of others.
If friends are defined by the commission of a worthless sacrifice, then you all will have to pay the price!
2. After the battle
20 linesWhat the...?
I had anticipated this attack. You're able to create a containment field by placing your weapons in five corners. To activate the technique, it must consume the Reishi stored within its hilt.
You created the containment as you attacked me, but you were so intent on your maneuver as you were pulling it off...
...that you failed to notice that I used Sumitsukigasa to absorb the Reishi you had stored. That's how I neutralized your attack.
Not knowing that, you ended up sacrificing your own allies. Before the awesome power that I possess, your so-called friendship holds no meaning.
I figured you'd think that way. I knew that you'd see through my Sprenger attack and that you'd absorb the Reishi from my Seeleschneider.
However...
Kageroza, it's over!
Uahhhh!!!
Stop, no!
Don't worry, Ichigo. We're going to imprison him like this without triggering the explosion.
If we can continue to drain the spirit energy from the wound on his back where the Reishi bond was weakened, we should be able to undo his fusion with Nozomi.
Don't underestimate me! Hajokuri!
What?! What the hell...is that?!
It's swallowing Sprenger's Reishi! How is that even possible?!
My Hajokuri technique turns everything around it into Reishi and proceeds to absorb it!
Now, die, Substitute Soul Reaper!
Damn it!
Grh...
What happened?
