Akon

And that, sir, is the full report on the infiltration by the rebel army.

Mayuri

Thank you, Akon... You may go.

Akon

Yes, sir.

Mayuri

Now then, as to these Ryoka, whom we are tentatively referring to as a rebel army.

They call themselves the Wandenreich...

...and this invasion of theirs is clearly connected to the recent and alarming trend of Hollows disappearing from the World of the Living.

The loss of such a large number of Hollows has caused a great imbalance of souls...

...which could ultimately spell the destruction of both the Soul Society and the World of the Living.

The power to extinguish souls... I'm sure that all of you astute captains have already figured it out by now, haven't you?

That this so-called rebel army is, in fact, an army of Quincies.

Shunsui

Quincies... Well, I suspected that might be the case, but I wish I'd been wrong.

Genryusai

Do we know yet where they're operating from?

Mayuri

No, thus far, I haven't been able to find it.

Genryusai

I see... Which means we have no way of attacking them.

Very well. All squad captains are hereby ordered to prepare for war.

According to the rebel army's advance guard, the battle will begin in five days, but we have no reason to trust the words of anyone who would launch a surprise attack.

So prepare at once for an attack that could come at any time! For I will not allow our enemy to catch us unaware ever again!
