3-1 The Burnt Offerings

What is this?

"Hakudan Keppeki." It's a barrier that can very effectively, if only temporarily, block your Quincy powers.

Squad 1 Co-Lieutenant Nanao Ise, isn't it? You developed this Kido?

You seem to know who I am. So you probably know that my talent with Kido is the only reason I was made a lieutenant. Devising a Kido to use against you wasn't that difficult.

During your last invasion, you Quincies left traces of your Spiritual Pressures all over the Seireitei.

You were practically inviting us to come up with a countermeasure.

Hmm... Hm, hm, hm, hmmm.

Ah, forget it. No, sorry, it's not happening. I can see it'll take too much time.

What do you mean by that? What will take too much time?

I'm just imagining the number of scenarios I'd have to experiment with in order to kill you. I'm fatally lazy when it comes down to that kind of detail work.

I like just getting it over with. No, you go fight with someone else. So long.

You're not even going to try and stop me?

No, you're perfectly free to leave, as far as I'm concerned. I need time to study your Spiritual Pressure anyway, so you can go, if that's what you want. Unless, of course...

...what you really wanted was to try and trap me by luring me into your space.

Oh, you're good. I'm just happy I didn't give away my abilities.

That Spiritual Pressure, is that Soi Fon?

It appears so! She's overpowering the enemy, even without her Bankai!

I knew it. Just as His Majesty predicted.

You understand what this means, don't you? If it's as His Majesty foretold...

...this could prove fatal. And I don't mean for our side.
