If your Spiritual Pressure's exposed, so are your weaknesses!

Sajin

Don't you see? A living thing might fear being turned into a bomb and blown into oblivion...

...but where there is no life, there is no fear of that, or anything else!

Tengen Myo-Oh's life lies in its armor. Dangai Joue is Tengen Myo-Oh stripped of all traces of life.

Bambietta

Don't give me that! I know how this thing works!

I had your damn Bankai just a minute ago, or have you forgotten that?! Your Bankai shares a direct link with you!

Maybe your Bankai doesn't care if it gets destroyed, but you, its possessor, might not be so...

Wh-Why d'you have hole in you?

Sajin

My body is but an empty shell now, an instrument whose sole purpose is to defeat your people.

My clan's secret Jinka Technique allows us to temporarily gain immortal form by offering up our hearts.

As long as I'm in this human form, I cannot die or be killed.

You're saying you already threw your life away?! Then what the hell are you even fighting for, if it's not to at least keep from losing and getting killed?!

If you have to die in order to fight, then there's no point in even winning!

Sajin

I didn't throw it away. I made a wager with it.

Master Genryusai staked his life on this war, so how could I not dare to do the same?

Before I ever stepped into this battle, I had already left my life behind!

Sajin

Not yet! Give my heart the strength to keep the Jinka Technique working just a little longer.

All that matters now is that I must get to their castle.

And then I must... I must kill Yhwach!

What is this I see... So this is...

...this is the price I must pay.

Great Elder

That's right, Sajin. Your life as a human will soon come to an end. You will become a beast of revenge.

Let your anger reach its very limit. Curse your lot. Wallow in your vengeance. And I will drink deep of your dark resentment and live on.

Sajin, my dear Sajin.

Thank you for doing this for me.

You became a beast that cannot speak, just for me.

Thank you.

So this is the price I must pay for selling my soul for revenge, for carrying the name of the Court Guards and selling my soul for revenge...

I was so...

Tetsuzaemon

Let's go, Captain.

You did nothing wrong. No, sir. Not a single thing.

Let's keep fighting, Captain. Let's go and kill that bastard Yhwach and avenge Master Genryusai Yamamoto.
