Azashiro

(Hollows and humans joining forces? And that oddball is the one who gave the order to attack me? Even so, taking another hit from their Chucherรญa attack would be dangerous.)

(If those Hollows keep gathering up like this, this place will turn into an enriched spirit zone. And if Zaraki gets out of the Garganta, he'll sense it immediately.)

(Maybe I should vanish and withdraw from here for now? No, I should fuse with that woman, even if it means taking some risks.)

(A car? Why does that man refuse to stay down?)

(I wanted to avoid any unnecessary casualties, but there is just no convincing him.)

(He's prepared to die at my hands... How wasteful. Either way, a human who joins forces with Hollows is no different from a Hollow himself. There's no reason I should hesitate to eliminate him.)

Huh?!

2. After the battle

24 lines

In the midst of his relentless pursuit of the Picaro, Azashiro spies Kanonji disappearing into the Garganta as it suddenly opens up.

Azashiro

(He escaped? How ridiculous. So he must've abandoned that Hollow woman to escape.)

(Yes, that's it! This is how it should be! That is how a weakling ought to act!)

(I won't call you a coward or anything! You are not in the wrong for doing this!)

(That is just what it means to be human. Now it's time for the Hollow woman to show her true colors as well.)

Roka

............

Azashiro

(What's this? Why isn't she feeling any signs of despair or anger after being abandoned?)

(What is she looking at? Wait, there's a distortion in the sky...)

Don Kanonji

YEAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Azashiro

Absurd! Plunging out of the Garganta in a car?!

Don Kanonji

Kira-gan gan gan, gone, gin gin, git git gooonnne!

Azashiro

(Impossible. How can a man like you, someone of your level... Why?)

(Why does he have the same look in his eyes that my sister had?)

(Wh-What's going on?)

(My strength... My Spiritual Pressure itself is getting siphoned from me?! His stick? What is going on?!)

(This is... Why does he have Zaraki's eye patch?!)

Don Kanonji

Kanonji ultimate hidden technique, Cannonball!!!

Azashiro

(Ah, I get it now. I wasn't annoyed by this man.)

(I couldn't stand up and fight like my sister did, like this man did.)

(I was just frustrated with myself for being too scared to grab the sword back then.)

Don Kanonji

Did I get him?

To think my Kanonji Cannonball was that powerful...

Roka

Mr. Kanonji! Thank goodness. I am so glad you are unhurt!

Don Kanonji

YEAAAHHH! Mission complete!!!
