1-2 Squad 12 Captain Kisuke Urahara

I will not accept this!

I already don't like that Captain Hikifune left us so fast, and now we get you?! Come on! You're from Squad 2! That's the Stealth Force! You're killers!

Someone who spent his time secretly killing people isn't a suitable choice to be our captain!

Ah...hahaha...

What's so funny?! Didn't you hear me earlier when I insulted your old squad? You had no reaction at all!

You coward! Aren't you angry at me for that?!

Not at all. After all, now I'm the captain of Squad 12.

Hnnn...

That's what I decided this morning when I woke up. "Once I get out of this bed, I will now belong to Squad 12."

I consciously decided that I will only get angry if someone criticizes Squad 12.

I think it's nice to be able to choose what upsets you and what doesn't. I believe having the will to change what we think really allows us to be able to start over.

............

What's that supposed to mean? You are nuts!

............

Hmm...

As expected. You sound bored.

Oh, Captain Hirako. Good evening.

Just call me Shinji. We're both captains.

What do you think of Hiyori? A pain in the butt?

She was pretty close to Captain Hikifune. I'm convinced she thought of her as a mother figure. So it'll be difficult for you to win her over.

I tend to think you're right about that. I've done what I can to make us all get along...

...but it seems no matter what I do, it's just not going as smoothly as I'd like.

Are you really giving this all you've got?

Those chosen to command should be able to sympathize with those who serve. However, they should not show it.

You do things as you think best. And if it turns out no one follows you, then perhaps you weren't the right vessel to lead them.

And besides, you don't really seem the type that possesses the skill to be much good at thinking about how others feel.

............

Well, anyway. I wouldn't let this bother you too much.

I'd say you and I seem to have something in common, but I couldn't help coming by to give you some advice.

Night.

............

Yoruichi, you're right. It's just as you said.

Being a captain is fun indeed.

How long are you going to stand there and watch...

...Sosuke?

I'm impressed. How long have you been aware of me?

From the time that you were in your mother's womb.

Captain.

What is it?

You truly are a frightening man.

That's my line.

Wha...

What...

What the hell is all of this?!

Oh, good morning, Hiyori.

What the heck have you done here?! This is the captain's room, ya got it?!

You can't just go doin' renovations and change it all!

Why not? It's okay, I mean, it's my room.

Besides, I didn't renovate. I just rearranged things.

How is this "rearranging"?! Come on! Absolutely nothing from the old room's left! It's all changed!

Well, a little change can be good. Look, give it a little time. Take some time to understand me. Just give it a chance.

And I promise you, Hiyori, I'll do my best to try to understand you, a little at a time. Well?

No way!

Oww!

All right. Hiyori, I need to ask you to do me a favor.

You're gonna come with me, and we're going to pay a visit to the Maggot's Nest.

The Maggot's Nest?! But...
