1. Before the battle
3 lines
All right! This time, there's no one to get in between us. How about we finish what we started the other day?
Hah, so you want to settle the score? I'm not going to hold anything back.
Then we might have fun!
2. Before the boss
3 linesI'm not finished with you yet!
Extend, Hozukimaru!
Oh, so you've regained your Shikai then, partner?
3. After the battle
21 linesWhat's wrong? Don't tell me you're outta gas already. You're weaker than you were the last time around.
Your spirit is impressive. But still, you're gonna need more than that to take me down.
Go on, cling to your silly stubbornness. But in head-to-head battles, you'll always get crushed.
What'd you say?
If you're gonna act like a badass, then you should probably have the skill to back it up.
Bastard!
I warned you, and you still fell short. Are you stupid or something?
Heh, you're the stupid one.
That right?
How did you...?
What you said about me before? You're right, I am pretty stubborn.
But still, I'll stick to the way I do things. I'll fight the way I always do and still tear you apart.
Because when you get right down to it, a man's not a man if he can't be himself in battle!
Now you're talking, partner! Go on, give it your best shot and defeat me!
You don't have to tell me twice!
You realize how powerful this attack is going to be, right?
That sounds perfect. Come at me, Hozukimaru!
Heahhhhhh!!!
I am the Third Seat of Zaraki's squad, Ikkaku Madarame!!!
Pretty good, partner.
Yeah, you're damn right.
