1-6 Zennosuke Kurumadani

Those damned things. They just keep getting uglier all the time.

Huaahhhh!

H-hey, wait! Why are you dressed up like a Soul Reaper? I see you! What are you up to?

Who the hell are you?

What? Who am I?

I'm Zennosuke Kurumadani!

Ms. Rukia Kuchiki had a little trouble with the law, so an elite Soul Reaper was left in charge of the area.

So tell me. Are you shaken yet?

I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Soul Reaper. Look, this is my pass.

Hahaha! That's funny! A Combat Pass?

Gimme a break, kid. Who do you think you're fooling with that thing?

What's with this? This damned thing is completely useless.

Aha... Hahaha...

Dammit... Hirako?

Is that...a Zanpakuto?! Who the hell are you?

Shh!

You mustn't make too much noise, Ichigo Kurosaki.

Those who have Spiritual Pressure like you possess need to learn how to stay calm.

Or your presence will be felt.

Felt by who? Who will feel it?!

It seems I need everything to be out in the open for you to understand it.

Children are so foolish and blind.

Who the hell are you, Hirako? Answer me!

Ah... It's here.

I explained it. You're the one to blame. It's all because you were releasing your Spiritual Pressure.

I demand that you tell me who you are!

You're a pain, you know that? With all that's going on, you only care who I am?

Then take a good look.

Whaddya see? Tell me. Try and guess if you can.
