5 linesThe Royal Palace, Main Entrance
Ichigo Kurosaki! As I'm sure you're already well aware, the Soul Society has suffered heavy damage.
How incredibly pathetic. A thousand years of peace have caused the Soul Reapers to become weak.
And Squad Zero did nothing but sit back and watch.
That is simply a part of our duty, to watch. And it is also a part of our duty to train you, Ichigo.
2. After the battle
8 linesIchigo, you aren't going to be able to defeat Yhwach in the state that you're currently in. So I'm going to need you to surpass what a Soul Reaper is.
I'll surpass anything you want. That's why I'm here.
You can hone your Zanpakuto skills all you want, but even if you do, you'll still only be a Soul Reaper.
And what's this for?
Let's begin, shall we?
This is a sacred place. We are not allowed to enter into it without the permission of the Soul King.
The Soul King...
Now... I shall test you to see if you're worthy to surpass what it means to be a Soul Reaper.
