2-3 The Yourself

Very well, then. Shall we dance?

Kirchenlied... Sankt Zwinger!

This is a Quincy's ultimate defensive incantation, combining offense with defense! Step through it and you will be torn apart by God's light!

That will not save you!

I call on the dead. I summon the ashes of those who perished by my flames.

Come to my aid and for one brief moment, feel again the joy of battle.

Zanka no Tachi, South... Kakajumanoku Shidaisoujin!

What's this? What in the name of heaven or hell is this?!

Kakajumanoku Shidaisoujin. It allows me to revive those I have slain by reanimating their ashes with the very blade that struck them down.

Reawakened, they are now an army that serves me, one that will not stop until they turn my enemies to dust!

How pathetic that the head of the Soul Reapers would be reviving the dead. It betrays everything you're supposed to stand for, you old hypocrite!

And to what end? Do you really think a trick like that can stop me?!

Your mouth works well, Yhwach, but you've forgotten to use your eyes. What is wrong? Are you shocked to see so many of the subordinates you killed?

Damn you!

Or are you regretting that you didn't steal my Bankai when you had the chance?

No, that's not it. Because you knew, did you not, that you could never steal my Bankai.

And now I think I know why that is. To steal another's Bankai, you Quincies must first understand it and fully comprehend its power. Is that not correct?

But you have never witnessed my true power, not even a thousand years ago. You cannot steal what is beyond your understanding.

Wait, where are you going?!

Not far, do not worry. If you want to kill me, I'll be waiting. Of course, you'll have to deal with all of them first.

You worthless coward...

Arrghhhh!

So even one as lost as you still has a shred of humanity left in him.

You have the nerve to talk as if you know me? I told you before, you're wrong if you think you can stop me with tricks like these!

I can see your tears of anger and frustration, Yhwach.

Painful, is it not? You have to walk over the bodies of your loyal subordinates in order to reach me.

How you must hate me for resorting to such a despicable ploy as to bring them back from the dead.

And yet, nothing that you are feeling right now can compare to the hatred and suffering of all those Soul Reapers that you have slaughtered!

Zanka no Tachi, North... Tenchi Kaijin!

I thought I was strong enough, but it seems I failed. I hope you can forgive me.

(What? Whose forgiveness does he seek?)

(He's the Quincie's king. He started this war, and he lost it. So who is he apologizing to?)

Please forgive me for not carrying out your orders...

Who are you talking to?!

Your Majesty Yhwach...

The Squad 1 Barracks! Okikiba!

Curse you, Yhwach.

Can you hear me, Stern Ritter "Y"...

"The Yourself," the "R" of Royd Loyd?

You saw to it that my absence was not noticed. You did well.

You said...I...did well. Y-You do me a great honor, Your Majes...

You villain. Where have you been hiding all this time?

What lies beneath the Squad 1 Barracks?

The Central Underground Great Prison!

I went to see Sosuke Aizen.
