Bankai!
............
Bankai, huh?
I'm certainly hoping that isn't your way of serving notice that your spirit energy has fully returned to you.
Maybe. You wanna find out?
I wouldn't go pushing your luck with a makeshift Bankai! That could prove fatal!
Getsugatensho!
Ygah!
You must be wondering why my Getsugatensho is more powerful now than it was before.
I was really afraid somewhere in the back of my mind of losing all my spirit energy, but something came to me once I lost my powers.
I can't stand the thought of not giving this my best shot. I'll use everything I've got to defeat you!
I have to admit that compared to the last time we fought, you are different. However, you still can't beat me.
Grh!
At this rate, we'll never be able to save Nozomi. We have to find a way to neutralize him somehow.
But he doesn't seem to have any weaknesses so far.
Go for his vital point. If we can shatter his Soul Chain, we have a chance.
Makes sense. If we stop the flow of spirit energy in his body, there's a chance he'll split back into two entities again.
Hold on.
The Soul Chain, huh? I will let Ichigo know!
Grh...
Is this the best you can do with the help of your so-called friends? Or has your spirit energy completely run out?
As long as I save Nozomi and protect all of my friends, nothing that happens after that matters!
In that case, I'll end this quickly for you!
2. After the battle
20 linesWhat the hell? What's happening to my body?!
Rrrrghhhh! My head! Grhhhh!
*Pant* *Pant* Ichigo...
Nozomi?!
Finish us now!
Please, this is our only chance to do it!
Ichigo! The Soul Chain! Shatter his Soul Chain!
............
Haaaahhhh!
What?!
I haven't given up yet!
Stop fighting this pointless battle. You've lost, Kageroza!
So you think that I've lost, huh? So this is pointless? I'll show you, you're dead wrong!
If I'm going to lose this body, then I will destroy everything!
Renzan Hajokuri!
What is that? Spirit energy?!
Unbelievable! He still had this much power left?!
No, wait. That spirit energy is the Reishi of the Soul Society itself. And it looks like he's absorbing it.
How unexpected. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the end would be like this. Well, then so be it.
Now join me, Ichigo Kurosaki, in the place between chaos and nothingness.
