Present Day Karakura Town

Azashiro

(Huh, so this is that Resurrecciรณn thing I saw in the archive.)

(If that Cien guy is as powerful as Zaraki is, all of the buildings in the surrounding area might get destroyed.)

(If he was worried about getting that Hollow woman involved and having his precious component destroyed, that is a rather convenient development for me.)

Urozakuro

How is it convenient for you?

Azashiro

It means we don't have to destroy this town needlessly.

Urozakuro

Keehahaha! So that's what you meant! How kind of you, Ken!

Keeha! We were so close, Ken! My world was just about to reach that weak-minded Arrancar girl, you know!

Wouldn't it have been better if we'd killed her back when she was in the Seireitei? You're such a blockhead! Keeheeheehee!

Azashiro

I don't care. I'm more interested in defeating that Cien Hollow and Zaraki.

Urozakuro

That's right! That's a much better idea! Fusing with a living being is a pretty risky bet for you, after all!

Keehee! But I'm sure you still want to "fuse" with that woman, even if it is a dangerous proposition, eh! You filthy-minded fool!

Azashiro

Go on, keep chirping away. Her threads are far more corrosive than your abilities.

No price is too much to pay, no matter how steep.

Urozakuro

Keeheehee! Price! Indeed, the price! Power always comes at a price, no matter how strong one's Bankai might be!

The guy who defeated Aizen paid for the power to do so with his very own Soul Reaper powers!

Compared to that, the price I'm asking of you is a drop in the bucket, you know!

Azashiro

As far as I'm concerned, the most costly thing you've done is reveal your abilities to Yoruichi Shihoin and Kisuke Urahara.

Urozakuro

Is that right? Then I guess that was a fair price to pay, too! Keehaha!
