Ikkaku

What's up with this brat, anyway?! Is she just gonna endlessly throw bombs at us?

Yumichika

No. I don't really think that's what's actually happening here.

Ikkaku

Oh, no? How am I wrong?

Yumichika

The projectiles themselves aren't bombs. But anything a projectile strikes is turned into a bomb.

Ikkaku

Oh, come on. Same difference! Whatever!

Yumichika

No, it's not. The difference is you can't deflect those things with your Hozukimaru.

Ikkaku

Oh, I get it. Well, in that case, our only option is to dodge those things long enough to cut her down!

Yumichika

You are so reckless, Ikkaku!

Hado 57: Daichitenyo!

Bambietta

Giselle

Are you stupid or something? Nothing you do to Bambi is gonna kill her. Ya can't kill someone who's already dead.

It wasn't easy, you know, turning Bambi into a zombie. You see, the problem is, I can't do it to another Quincy unless they're dead.

On the other hand, a Soul Reaper's a lot easier. You don't have to be dead. I just splash you with my blood and presto-change-o, you turn right into a zombie.

So which of you wants to be a zombie first?... Or should I just choose?

Mayuri

I see.

The ability to turn an enemy into a zombie, eh? I must say, that's a genuinely fascinating gift you've got there.

Giselle

I can't even see you, the way you're all lit up like that. Who are you?

Mayuri

My, my, we're not ashamed to show our ignorance, are we? Didn't you know that great people often shine brightly as if from some inner light?

Giselle

If you say so, but I wasn't asking why you were all lit up.
