2-4 Severing Ties

Let's make this your last day as the Kuchiki Clan leader!

What the hell?

Senbonzakura.

Yes, master. I know your senses and body have been shut down. I will fight as your eyes and limbs. Instruct me to do as you wish.

I'm going to control the senses of both that sword and you together!

Damn you! How is it that you possess so much power?

Because we fight together. That's what gives us power.

A Soul Reaper and a Zanpakuto combine to make one. We are only able to display our true powers when our souls are in harmony with one another.

Your pride caused you to abandon the one you need right now. Alone, you cannot defeat us.

Shut up! You don't know enough about me to judge me like that!

No one acknowledged what I did, despite all my successes. Instead, they branded me a traitor and tried to seal me away.

If that was going to be the case, I had to create a place for myself somewhere.

Order is created by power! With my power, I'm going to become king of a new world!

Such foolishness.

What was that?!

The real tragedy is that you fail to recognize the true nature of power.

The power you need is to be able to relate to others, and also to connect to your Zanpakuto in a synergistic way.

You sound like such a complete idiot. That has never been the kind of power I've needed!

My power is like no other. Absolute power that has no equal, not here or anywhere else in the universe!

It seems there is no use discussing this. Blame your own immaturity for not being able to recognize that your confidence is nothing but arrogance.

Koga, I will now complete my duty as head of the Kuchiki Clan, as I have foresworn to do, honoring the wishes of my predecessors.

I will defeat you, and in doing so, end this curse of ever having been a part of the Kuchiki Clan once and for all!

I won't...let them beat me!

Come to me...Muramasa!

What's happening? Answer me, Muramasa!

Why won't you respond? Your master's calling you!

Mura...masa!

Koga... If not for his extraordinary power, I doubt he would have deluded himself into attacking the Soul Society.

It was the fate of a weak-hearted man, consumed by his ambition. Instead of a blessing, his power became a destructive curse.

He was the exact opposite of you, who willingly allowed himself to be branded a traitor in order to head off a threat that could have destroyed the Soul Society.

Now you can finally reclaim a place of honor among your peers. You can hold your head up high again.

Senbonzakura, you talk too much.
