Congratulations! It seems you went and became a Soul Reaper again!
This next lesson has no time limit!
Knock off my hat with your Zanpakuto and the lesson will be cleared.
I think we can end this lesson in no time!
(I saw Mr. Hat-and-Clogs pull that little sword out of his cane.)
(So it can't possibly be a Zanpakuto!)
You thought because I'm not a Soul Reaper, I couldn't have a Zanpakuto.
And you're thinking there's no way I can hurt you.
You are so naïve.
Awaken now, Benihime!
!!!
A name...for my Zanpakuto?
Yes, each Zanpakuto carries a unique name.
And this one is Benihime, the red princess.
Let her show you.
2. Before the boss
15 linesI've gotta get away! I don't think he's kidding. He's really gonna kill me this time!
How pathetic. It's pathetic!
Pathetic!!!
Yes, that's you.
Why are you running away, Ichigo?
Master...
You still haven't called me yet.
Face forward, Ichigo, and you should be able to hear it now.
The only thing plugging your ears is your own fear.
There's only one enemy and there's one of you. So what is there to be afraid of?
Abandon your fear. Turn and face him. Don't give an inch.
Now, Ichigo. Advance! Never stop!
If you retreat, you will age. Be afraid, and you'll die.
Now, shout out my name!
Zangetsu!!!
3. After the battle
4 linesThat wasn't very nice.
I do believe you've killed my hat.
Ichigo, you are one frightening kid. You know that?
Lesson cleared.
