Lilinette

Hraaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Jushiro

All right, attack!

Lilinette

Hurr...

Hraaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Jushiro

Keep it coming!

Lilinette

Err...

Hraawwhh! I'm gonna kill you!

Jushiro

Well said! That's the spirit!

Lilinette

Gimme back my sword, ya creep!

Jushiro

I can't do that!

Lilinette

Die, ya gray-haired geezer! Dry up and blow away!

Jushiro

Come on, put more oomph into it!

Lilinette

Bwehh, hehhh!

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

Shunsui

What's wrong? You worried about that kid down there?

Stark

No, it's not that.

Shunsui

Don't worry. Jushiro won't do anything to hurt that kid. You should be concentrating on our battle instead.

Stark

I said that's not it!

Shunsui

I'm just not getting this.

That kid down there is your subordinate. She's a Fracción, right? Can't say I grasp what their relationship is with an Espada...

...but as far as I can tell, the relationship between you two seems to be more personal than is usual with other Espadas and Fracciónes.

Stark

And so what if it is? Do you think that lecturing me is going to help you?

Shunsui

Possibly. I'm not sure that was my intention, but I'm thinking that's definitely the key to the two of you.

Stark

You'll know soon enough.

That is, of course, if you're worthy enough to find out.

3. After the battle

Stark

Hey.

The Bankai all you captains have, are all of them that powerful?

Shunsui

I think so. I mean, the Bankai is our ace in the hole, so all of them are pretty damn powerful.

Stark

Then, how does yours stack up? For example, between the Bankai of that ice guy over there and yours, which is stronger?

Shunsui

Kinda hard to say. You see, Captain Hitsugaya is what you'd call a prodigy.

If I had to guess, I'd say he'll surpass my strength in about a hundred years.

Stark

Interesting.

So that means, at this moment, you're still stronger than him.

Shunsui

Heh.
