My name is Shusuke Amagai. I'm here from headquarters. I'm the newly appointed captain of Squad 3.
Allow me to introduce you. This is my associate, Makoto Kibune. Along with me, he'll also be joining the squad today.
He was part of my expeditionary patrol unit and is very skilled. That's why I wanted to bring him along. He will be our new Third Seat.
Thank you, sir. I do appreciate your confidence.
I am Lieutenant Izuru Kira. Pleased to meet you, sir. Welcome to the squad.
That guy doesn't look like much. Are you sure he's the new captain?
Well, if not, he's in big trouble. He's wearing a captain's coat. I hear that he's been away on a long assignment working on suppressing Hollows.
Is there a problem?
Up until yesterday, we were doing fine without a captain.
Quiet!
Hey, believe me. I understand how you feel.
After all, you've just had some guy you've never seen before suddenly show up out of nowhere and say, "Hi, I'm your new captain."
I don't blame you in the least. I'd be annoyed if I were in your shoes.
But let me tell you something, and I really mean this.
My primary duty as captain is to protect my men, no matter what. That's what being a captain's all about.

What's the problem? For all you know, this guy might turn out to be a really good captain.
But the squad's got a bad attitude and no one trusts the guy enough to give him a chance to prove himself. It's miserable. When I think about going in there and having to face that resistance day after day, I get sick.
*Sigh* Okay, okay. I can see this is making you nervous and uptight.
Well, I know just what will do the trick. Voila! Good old sake! Drink up and forget all about your troubles!
No way! I can't be drinking in the middle of the day!
Oh, come on. It's tastier because you're drinking it in the middle of the day!
Hey, that's it! Throw a party for the whole squad and have the captain as the guest of honor! Once they've got some sake in them, they'll be buddies in no time!
Oh, it's as simple as that, huh?
Come on, give it a shot! I mean, what have you got to lose?
