1-4 The Man Who Hates Soul Reapers

Are you serious? You really want us to give up trying to get past the gate?

No, I don't mean give up completely.

Once the gate has been opened, it's only logical that the security on the other side becomes that much tighter. Which means that continuing with the same strategy is not necessarily the best approach.

I have to agree with you on that.

So then, what about the other gates?

There won't be much difference from what we've faced with this one.

Well in that case, then what the hell are we gonna do?

Well isn't it obvious?

If we can not use the gate, then naturally, we must enter another way.

There's a person by the name of Kukaku Shiba who might be able to help us. Follow me.

What do we have here? Would someone explain to me why there's a stinkin' Soul Reaper here?!

What did you just say?

What's the matter? Your ears not workin'? What I said was, would someone explain to me why there's a stinkin' Soul Reaper here.

Well then, say something, you snivelin' dandelion!

You walked in and picked on me for no reason! What kind of a moron are you?!

Let me introduce myself.

My given name is Ganju!

The self-proclaimed deep red bullet of West Rukon! And self-proclaimed, but universally acknowledged boss-man of West Rukon! And finally...

The self-proclaimed number one Soul Reaper hater of West Rukon!

Get outta here while you still can! Now listen. As long as I'm alive, no Soul Reaper will ever be allowed to step one stinkin' foot inside West Rukon!

That's enough fighting, Ichigo! You should not be using up your strength in a meaningless brawl.

Hey, don't forget he started the fight. So if you want this to stop, then tell him.

Sheesh! (Getting all worked up over such a silly thing. The fool!)

The way I see things, you and me are destined to fight. We don't have a choice in the matter.

Gah!

All I can say is, if that didn't drop you, then you are one tough warrior.

What? Nine o'clock?

Come on, we gotta go!

What! Hey! Come back here!

Oh, I'm not runnin' away. Just wait! I'll be back here again tomorrow, and we'll settle this thing once and for all!

You just wait for me, dandelion-head! And try not to turn to fluff and blow away!

That was weird.

If you ask me, that was a disaster.

I'm gonna kill that guy as soon as I find out who he is!
