Now then, as for you, Captain Hitsugaya...

Toshiro

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

Mayuri

Ah. Of course. Trying to converse with you is pointless, isn't it?

Be that as it may, let me assure you that, as a man composed of kindness and benevolence rather than flesh and blood, I would never dream of experimenting on anyone without asking their permission.

So, Captain Hitsugaya...

...there are several drugs that I would very much like to test on you. You will allow me to, won't you?

Don't worry, it's all for a good cause. It's all done for the sake of the Seireitei. And I ask you, can you think of a worthier cause?

2. Before the boss

Mayuri

Surprised by how someone who spends all his time holed up in his lab is able to anticipate your attacks so capably?

Well, I implanted a sensor in Ashisogi Jizo the other day...

It's been very helpfully programmed to intercept any blade that comes within sixty centimeters of me, at an angle of sixty degrees or more.

In other words, it will automatically anticipate and block any attack you throw.

Of course, after what I just said, you thought of striking me with something other than a blade.

But then, didn't it cross your mind that perhaps I wanted you to strike me with something else?

Toshiro

Bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru!

C-Captain Hitsugaya...

There are several drugs that I would very much like to test on you. You will allow me to, won't you?

Toshiro

?!

Mayuri

Don't worry, it's all for a good cause. It's all for the sake of the Seireitei and what could be worthier?

Surprised by how someone who spends all his time holed up in his lab is able to anticipate your attacks?

Toshiro

You already asked me that... What is this?

Mayuri

Oh, you can carry on a conversation? This is a new discovery!

Toshiro

Bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru!

Y-You are very, very strong indeed...
