4-3 Ikkaku's Hidden Power

This Spiritual Pressure! It's them.

Rukia!

I'm way ahead of you.

One, two, three... Six of them. There's so many!

Do you think they're coming here for us?

No, they're targeting Spiritual Pressure, but they don't seem to be coming this way.

So what the hell does that mean?

They're not interested in the strength of the Spiritual Pressure. They're making a hit list!

It means humans with the slightest amount of Spiritual Pressure will be killed.

Uryu should have no Spiritual Pressure right now. But what about Chad and Orihime?

Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Matsumoto are pretty close to Orihime. She should be safe with them nearby.

But Chad's alone.

And there's one who's headed right toward him!

So they finally showed up. No surprise there.

Let's get 'em, Yumichika!

Heh!

Hey, you! You were so busy trying to kill me, I didn't catch your name.

Oh, I guess you're right. I'm Arrancar Thirteen, also known... Hmm.

Never mind. Waste of time. I just realized there's no point in giving out my name to somebody I'm about to kill.

Is that right?

It seems that you and I operate with very different rules of etiquette.

Maybe it's the fact that you're part Hollow, but we let our opponents know the name of their killers. It's something I teach every pupil I train.

If you're prepared to die in battle, you should want to die knowing the name of the person who defeated you.

So allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ikkaku Madarame, Third Seat of the Zaraki Squad.

I won't bother spelling it for you. I doubt your brain can absorb that much information.

Just know that I'm the one who's about to kill you!

I've underestimated you.

I guess there's no point in holding back. You won't be satisfied with anything less. I should just release my Zanpakuto to fight you, right?

That's about the size of it, now that you know how tough I really am.

Fine. A fool like you who loves to battle needs to be taught a lesson. You need to know what it's like to feel uncontrollable fear. Something so terrifying it makes you tremble all the way to your bones.

After this, you'll never find it fun to pick a fight with an Arrancar.

Awaken, Volcanica!

What the hell is that thing?

This, my naïve friend, is what happens when an Arrancar releases his Zanpakuto.

I recall you said it was a courtesy to tell an opponent the name of his killer, right?

I am Arrancar Thirteen, Edrad Liones!

I never would've guessed there would be this much difference in our power.

I guess there's no choice. I really didn't want to use this here, but since everyone's off fighting somewhere else, I suppose nobody's going to notice.

Now, watch carefully, my block-headed friend, and don't tell anybody you saw me doing this. You think you have me on the ropes? Well I've got a surprise for you.

Bankai!

Ryumon Hozukimaru!!!

I knew it.

I knew that you were alive, Ikkaku.

Of course I am.

I was lucky today. Luckier than you can imagine.
