Kenpachi

You're the one bein' outrageous. What's the point of cutting down a stupid kid who wouldn't even make for a decent warm-up?

Azashiro

It's just as I thought. You, No, everyone in Squad 11 today is caught up in futile matters that do not concern Soul Reapers.

Soul Reapers fight. They should only concern themselves with killing Hollows as efficiently as possible.

There is no need to find pleasure in a fight. There's no need to show mercy to Hollows, and no need to take pride in turning a blind eye to those who cannot fight.

Ikkaku

Even if I get what you're saying, you make me sick.

Yumichika

I told you, didn't I? I admit there is such a thing as mechanical beauty, but it's just not my thing.

Kenpachi

I can't read your Spiritual Pressure at all, so I thought I'd go ahead and take the first swing.

But maybe this'll help you remember just who you're fighting against, eh?

2. Before the boss

5 lines
Kenpachi

This ain't working.

Azashiro

It's futile. You cannot cut me down.

Picaro

Hey, who attacked us earlier?

Ikkaku

That jerk called Azashiro or whatever over there.

Picaro

So that means he'll play with us, right?!

3. After the battle

20 lines
Azashiro

Know this, members of Squad 11. There is no point in pursuing me. I have no interest in playing along with your arrogance.

If you turn back here and refrain from obstructing me further, I have no intention of harming you.

So, what will you do? You should know you cannot kill me now, after that attack.

Kenpachi

Huh. It looks like you really can turn into air.

Azashiro

If you understand, then why even bother?

Kenpachi

Ah well. Cutting the air into pieces sounds like it could be fun, too.

Azashiro

It seems you don't understand after all. It's not just the air. Aside from living beings, I've already fused with everything in the Seireitei.

I seem to recall Head Captain Yamamoto telling you this when you received your orders.

Kenpachi

Yeah, so all I have to do is cut up everything in the Seireitei to kill you, right?

Azashiro

The existence of you people truly does nothing but harm the Soul Society.

Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring...

Ikkaku

Huh? Is this jerk planning to fight our captain with Kido?

Yumichika

That's the incantation for Raikoho.

???

...The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle...

...Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm.

Ruler, mask of flesh and blood, all things in the universe, fly. That which names all in nature...

Yumichika

(What's this? I can hear other incantations coming from all directions.)

Ikkaku

Hey, what the hell's goin' on?! There are Gigai popping up all over the place!

Yumichika

(No, this can't be! Did he fuse every Gigai in the Department of Research & Development with the Precipice World?!)

This is insane!
