So who cares if we lost the powers we stole? I've got a bigger problem.

That doggy captain I was looking forward to fighting isn't even in the Seireitei! Dammit, if he wasn't gonna be here, somebody should have told me!

Hey, are you girls even listening to m, ?

Where the heck did everyone go?! Now you've got me looking like I'm out here talking to myself!

Lil! Gigi! Meni! Candy! Quit hiding!

Get out here right now!

I'll show you what happens when you embarrass your leader. I'll turn this whole area into a wasteland until I smoke you girls out!

Stop!

Bambietta

Doggy? What're you wearing that bucket for? Is it cause you're too scared to look me in the eyes?

Sajin

I don't have time to deal with you.

My only concern is to fulfill my vow to avenge Master Genryusai's death by taking Yhwach's head!

Bambietta

Ohh, I get it. But because you're such a loyal doggy, you made a brief detour to come here and protect your buddies.

But isn't it a little early for the hero to come riding to the rescue?

You should've waited till there was like, only one building left standing in the Seireitei. That would've been more dramatic, don't you think?

Shinji

Maybe so. But if that's the case, then I guess you'd have to say we're not very good heroes. We just don't have the patience to stand around and wait until the Seireitei is totally torn apart. I'm sorry.

Bambietta

Who are you?

Shinji

I got this, Sajin. You can go.

Sajin

Thanks.

Bambietta

Hey! I didn't say that the doggy could go...

Wha...

Shinji

What's the matter? Feeling sick or something?

Bambietta

Wh-What is this...?

Shinji

Sakanade. It's my Zanpakuto. Everything you see is suddenly reversed. Up is down and left is right.

Makes it very difficult to fight. Feeling dizzy? Oh, just wait. I've been practicing to have my words come out backwards, too.

Bambietta

This won't stop me!

Shinji

Maybe you should call your friends for help?

Oh, sorry. I can see you don't have any friends.

Bambietta

I'm going to wipe that stupid grin off your face and then I'll finish Doggy.

Shinji

You won't be doing either of those things.

What the hell is going on?

Bambietta

How about a little Quincy Voll Stern Dich? I wasn't able to use this before. The Bankai was in the way.

So really, I should be grateful to you for allowing me to access this power.

Yhwach

You shall soon come to regret regaining your Bankai, Soul Reapers. Your dream of a righteous battle brimming with hope and warmth ends here.

The true despair begins now.
