6-4 The Power to Protect

Hm? Kugo, do you feel it? That Spiritual Pressure.

Do you mean Chad?

Whoa! Ginjo! What'd you just say?! Did something happen to Chad?!

Calm down. I'll tell you what's happening. Someone's Spiritual Pressure is closing in on Chad.

It's that guy again! Ginjo, let me out of here! I have to go help Chad!

I can't. Right now, you need to concentrate on your training. Don't forget that you can't get out of there until you take out your opponents.

Ichigo, what is it that you want to protect? Is it the lives of your friends, or is it the bond you have with them?

First he says he wants to train so that he can protect others, but then decides to quit the moment he hears a friend is in danger.

This is all about his selfish desire to play the hero.

Suppose you do leave here right now. You get there in time, but then what? Since you barely know how to Fullbring, you can't help him at all.

You're too impulsive. That's why I don't want anything to do with a wannabe hero like you.

You say I won't be of any help? Maybe you're right. But I have regained some fighting power, if only a little bit.

If I just stay in here without at least trying to help out, I'll be left with nothing but regret!

You'd regret it?

Fine, then. If you want to go, then go. I couldn't care less. But if you want to get out of there, then do it yourself.

Rahh-gahhhhh!!!

Damn! Not again!

Ow.

Hey! You broke my birdcage!

(He learned how to produce that much destructive power in such a short time. Impressive.)

I'm done. So now, I'm gonna go help my friend.

Hold on.

Yeah, I'm fine. I was followed, but I was able to lose 'em. I think everything should be okay for now.

So don't worry about me, okay? Just continue on with your training.
