Hanza

You! You insolent fool! You're through! Haaaah!

Ichigo

!!!

What?! Are you...? It looks like your sword's consuming you! Who is ordering you to do this?!

Hanza

The Kasumiohji Clan. I honor them, and will protect their fine name.

From ancient times, the proud Kasumiohji Clan distinguished itself admirably by furnishing the royal family with the strongest of swords; and for many years, my people have acted as assassins for their clan. We lived as their shadows.

To safeguard the hidden art of our sword making, we even fought against the 13 Court Guard Squads. Even though it was strictly forbidden, we did it.

All for one purpose: to protect the Kasumiohji Clan. For decades, that has been the reason for our existence, to serve them.

And now, I have acquired this awesome power! Power that only a chosen few are worthy enough to be granted!

Ichigo

If your real purpose is, as you say, just to protect the Kasumiohji Clan, why did you attack Rurichiyo?!

Hanza

Because the weak have no right to carry on the Kasumiohji legacy!

Ichigo

Rurichiyo...

...is scared, terrified. Even when she smiles, she's filled with fear.

What she wants is only to be free.

Hanza

The princess of the Kasumiohji Clan has no freedom!

Ichigo

That's not something you have the right to decide!

Hanza

You have nothing to say about this!

Ichigo

Hrahhhh!!!

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

Hanza

So now, at last, I see your true power. Hah, hahaha! Interesting!

Hanza

I cannot lose! The power of the chosen will see to that!

Ichigo

You've gotta stop this!

All you're choosing is to die! Listen to me! Your sword is consuming you!

Hanza

Don't be ridiculous! Grh...!

Ichigo

You see what's happening? You're being eaten alive by that thing!

Hanza

Just shut up, Soul Reaper! You know nothing! My power is limitless! This Bakkouto is the instrument that will destroy you, not me!

Gahhhh!

Urg-ahhhh...

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

Ichigo

That guy was insane...

The Seireitei...

Makoto

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

Izuru

Third Seat Kibune? Where's he going?

Gyokaku

Hm?

Kuzuryu

*Pant* *Pant*

Gyokaku

Oh, I see. So Genga is dead. What about Hanza and Jinnai?

Kuzuryu

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

Gyokaku

Hmph. They should've thought things out.

Kuzuryu

This blade...is quite taxing. The power of the Bakkouto was too much for Hanza and my brothers. Only I survived.

Next time, I will take Nukui Hanza's place.

Gyokaku

Step down. I cannot be bothered with the likes of you.

Kuzuryu

You!!!

Gah!
