1-3 -

A thousand years ago, we suffered a savage attack. We Quincies were viciously set upon by the Soul Reapers. In that assault, we lost many of our comrades, and our very existence was threatened.

We survived by hiding in the Schatten Bereich. We endured extreme humiliation and we waited a thousand years.

But very soon, the final battle will commence. The time has now come. We will destroy the Soul Society, annihilate the Soul Reapers, and reinstate the honor of the Quincies!

But before that battle begins, I have an announcement to make.

This is Uryu Ishida. He is the last surviving Quincy in this entire world. And hereby, I decree that he shall officially be named as my successor.

What is going on here?! Jugo...

............

There will be no objections. I won't stand for it. There is also no need for any concern whatsoever. In the battles that are soon to come, all of you will quickly learn firsthand of his powers.

That is all.

I just don't get it! Who the hell is that guy? Can someone explain to me what is going on?!

Damn it! I refuse to accept this!

Where are you going, Bazz-B?

The real question is why aren't you going anywhere? You know, I was under the impression that you were His Majesty's successor.

If you were, nearly all of the Ritters would have accepted it without any complaint at all.

Yet you don't seem to care about any of this stuff!

His Majesty's word is everything. And that means there's no room at all for me to object.

Tsk. You've become a coward. You disappoint me.

Since that's the case, you should just give up your seat! If you don't care about letting some newcomer take it from you, then I might as well have it!

I suggest you calm down.

What's that?! Come on, I'm totally calm! Way more than you, ya know!

You're right. It's clear that you're calm. You didn't rush in headfirst this time. Yes, I can tell that you're very calm indeed.

Nakk Le Vaar... What do you think you're doing?

Look, just let it go. The both of you. There's nothing at all to gain by fighting like this.

In fact, it can be toxic for someone like you. But you already know that. Isn't that right, future emperor?

............

Before the ritual, there is something that I would like to ask you. Why me? Why was I chosen as your successor?

You're questioning it? I'm sure if you just give it a little thought, the reason why I'm choosing you as my successor should become completely obvious.

You can't ask why? Then let me ask. Uryu, tell me this, why are you still alive?

I believe that you already know. You're the one. Out of all of the Quincies throughout history, you are the only one who was ever able to survive the Auswählen.

And not by accident. There's a reason you survived that day.

From the day I lost my mother, I've been wondering... Why did she die while I survived? What was my purpose to be?

The answer was in my grandfather's diary. I've heard Your Majesty's words, and I've confirmed them all to be true.

I have accepted that Quincies and Soul Reapers will never get along...

And also who I really am.

That's why I severed every one of my ties to come here. So that I could bury the Soul Reapers.

Join me by my side, Uryu. And I shall reveal your future to you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

That completes the ritual, and soon your powers will awaken.

I bestow this Schrift upon you. It shall begin with the same letter as mine, the letter "A."
