Amazing...
See what I meant?
His Bankai and yours are as different as night and day, Ikkaku.
But-
You didn't think we knew about it? You're an idiot.
Relax. I'm not gonna tell your captain anything.
But I want you to give it some hard thought, Ikkaku.
You were the only one of the four who allowed his pillar to be destroyed.
Your job was simply to protect it. Do you know why you failed?
Because you attempted to keep your strength camouflaged!
............
It's your prerogative to die while keeping your strength hidden, but never...never at the cost of failing your mission.
You can't put your selfish pride ahead of achieving your squad's objectives.
As long as you're a member of the 13 Court Guard Squads, your orders will take priority. Even if it means suppressing your individual vanity! You will never be an effective leader unless you're willing to accept that!
Tetsuzaemon, I do understand that, but there's one-
What do you understand, you moron?!
You're acting like some kind of spoiled brat.
You're convinced that if you were to die, someone would automatically take your place. So you fight as if the consequences don't really matter.
Hold on a minute. You can't get away with that statement. Who says I fight like the consequences don't matter?
You mean, you deny it? You think I'm wrong?
Damn you! You bastard!
Why did you charge him head-on when you were injured? Can you explain that?
Charging him head-on would have meant nothing. Especially if you ended up getting crushed.
Do whatever it takes to win, even if it means running away from or outfoxing the enemy!
I can't do that! I can't carry out such a cowardly fight!
Then you'd better find a way to get stronger!
............
If you insist on having things on your terms, you'd better put on some strength. When you fight an enemy, you have to win, even if you die in the process.
That's what it means to stay true to yourself.
............
Uh, Captain!
Hmm.
Calm down, both of you. Unfortunately, I seem to be a little hard of hearing today.
