4-5 Target: Orihime

I thought all along you should've turned right at that last corner.

But you're the one who said to come this way!

Hey, come on, Kenny. It's not like you to blame someone else.

See that? Wasn't I close? Go over there.

This way, right?

They're gone, aren't they?

I think so.

He seemed terribly strong. It's lucky he didn't see us, don't you think?

Yes. But he must be the same type as Ichigo. He has incredible strength but his powers of observation are quite weak.

There they are! Get 'em!

Ahh! Run!

Now, I know that we should keep moving, but the real question is, where do we go from here?

Well, how about that way? I can see a tower in the distance.

Yeah? Where is it?

Look. Over there.

Huh! Orihime, watch out!

I'm impressed that you were able to dodge me at such close range. Very good.

If our paths had not crossed this way, then perhaps you might have lived a while longer.

Orihime! You must run!

(No, you're wrong. I must not run. I've got to stay and fight. Otherwise, how could I save Ichigo?)

Tsubaki! Koten Zanshun! I reject!

I have never seen a move like that before. And yet I sense no murderous intent behind your attack!

I assure you it will have no effect whatsoever on Soul Reapers.

This is a battleground! And by you not fighting to kill, you'll never succeed in stopping anyone!

If you want to face an attack with an intent to kill...

Then why not fight me?

I'm sure you'll find it here in my bow. It's a thrill I'd love to give you.

Ahh, very interesting.

So I guess that makes you a Quincy?

You're right about that.

(Uryu's bow... It's totally different from the one I saw before.)

(Both in its appearance and even its Spiritual Pressure. Compared to the time he was battling Hollows alongside Ichigo...)

(...he's become a completely different person.)

How interesting. One uses an unfamiliar skill, the other is a Quincy, and both employ projectile weapons. And you have both come to this very place at this very time to fight against me.

So do I call this an amazing coincidence, or a brilliant twist of fate?

Either way, I must show you the true form of my Zanpakuto!

Spread your wings, Tsunzaki Garasu!

See how my countless blades dance through space? No one who has seen my attack has lived!

I bid you farewell, and good riddance. You're not even worth lamenting.

Thank you, Uryu.

Er, there's nothing to thank me for.

(Uryu had been training on his own.)

(And to think he mastered the skill to such a degree in only 10 days, all by himself. Uryu is really incredible.)

(But it does make me wonder. What did I accomplish in those 10 days?)

What's wrong, Orihime?

It's nothing, Uryu. I'm just fine, really!

Well, we better get moving, Uryu.

We've got places to go!
