1. Before the battle
12 linesIt's done.
(The only problem left now is that Cien Hollow. He seemed to be chasing after the female Hollow, but first things first. I need to break out of the Garganta.)
What will you do? Do you wish to cross swords with me?
No thanks.
Don't worry. Now that Zaraki is dead, I have no plans to do anything to the rest of you in Squad 11.
Huh? Hey, um, you seem to be mistaken. Kenny's just fine, y'know?
(There's no way. His Spiritual Pressure is gone. He should be dead.)
(Wait, what's this? What am I looking at right now?)
I'm all nice and warmed up now, thanks to you.
How is this possible?
All right. How about we continue, eh, Azashiro?!
Gaaaaaaaaahhh!
2. After the battle
9 linesCan you hear me, Kenpachi Azashiro?
I sensed your fear from the air around me, you see.
If I have predicted things correctly, you must be terrified of Kenpachi Zaraki by now, scrambling desperately to turn your rage into a counterattack, right?
There is one thing I did not tell you, Kenpachi Azashiro.
Kenpachi Zaraki did in fact lose to Ichigo Kurosaki.
However, there is something else. There is one specific factor that gave Ichigo Kurosaki an edge over Kenpachi Zaraki.
By sharing his heart and soul with his Zanpakuto, Ichigo Kurosaki achieved extraordinary growth in an instant.
And Kenpachi Zaraki's instinct had failed to deduce just how much Ichigo had grown.
That's all there was to it.
