1. Before the boss
14 linesWhere am I?
Ichigo Kurosaki.
I'm surprised to see you. How did you get here?
I don't know. Where the hell are we?
Can't you tell?
Just as your precious Zanpakuto has a home in the world that is your mind, I also had a place to call my own.
Then, this is... But Koga's dead.
I don't understand it myself. How did I end up in this place?
Did my reunion with Koga somehow summon me here? Or is this whole thing a figment of imagination?
In either case, this place will soon fall apart. But no matter what, I am eternally grateful to the destiny that connects you and I...
...for that destiny will allow me to finish our battle!
But why?! There's no longer any reason for us to keep fighting each other!
Don't you see? The power you possess will nourish me, Ichigo.
And until I obtain that power, I will never stop fighting you. Understand?

7 linesGh... How do I...beat him?
Ichigo.
Feel it.
Zangetsu!
His power of suggestion does not work on me. I will become your eyes.
But it is impossible for this to work unless you and I, Zanpakuto and master, are truly connected to one another.
Okay, Zangetsu.
