6-4 A Zanpakuto That Can Change the World

Rukia Kuchiki, how did you find us?

I followed my brother's Spiritual Pressure.

You followed his Spiritual Pressure? Is he here too?

I'll explain it later. We need to be careful.

He's the one who manifested the Zanpakuto and left the Seireitei in chaos.

What?!

So then, why is he in the world of the living? Ah! And where's Ichigo?!

The Substitute Soul Reaper? He should be burning to death in Ryujin Jakka's flames.

Ryujin Jakka? Are you saying you gained control of the Head Captain's Zanpakuto?

That is correct.

Impossible! Ichigo will come back. I just know that he will!

Oh, will he?

Gh!

Muramasa.

I'm all right.

But I don't have much time left.

What's he doing?

A Hollow?

That Spiritual Pressure... I knew it.

Why are Hollows here?

You told us that you were a Zanpakuto! Care to explain exactly what's going on here?!

I didn't lie. I am a genuine Zanpakuto.

A Zanpakuto with the power to change the entire world.

And the only thing I am trying to do right now is release myself from this long, lonesome, and cursed battle!

Take care of this.

Not so fast!

You're not getting past me!

Rukia, we'll be okay here.

Are you sure?

Muramasa is being consumed by that sadness that I sensed inside of him earlier.

We have to stop him.

I understand.
