6-5...

All right, then.

Since you're not willing to take no for an answer, then feast your eyes. Behold my Bankai.

Bankai... Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!

Think of Senbonzakura like this... A relentless barrage from every direction by billions of blades attacking simultaneously.

The abilities of your Zanpakuto are more than I imagined.

However... Your attacks are far too broad and clumsy. You could never evade the nimble assault of Senbonzakura.

Damn, I thought I could do better than that.

I should've known that I couldn't do it. Just had to try, though. Guess it's foolish to think that I could ever beat a Bankai while only using my Shikai.

That arrogant mouth of yours is going to be the death of you.

You talk as if you've already achieved Bankai level.

Yeah... You catch on pretty quickly.

What did you say?

Don't make me repeat myself. I think you heard me. You just don't want to believe it, do you?

Then again, I don't care whether you believe me or not. I'm not gonna say it again.

You'll believe it once you see it yourself... Byakuya Kuchiki!

Feast your eyes. This is my Bankai.

Bankai!

Tensa Zangetsu!

So then, that's it?

That little weapon... That's your Bankai? It looks just like a regular Zanpakuto.

Now I can see. This is no different from the day of the execution. What it comes down to is the fact that you enjoy treading on those things we hold sacred.

What you need...is to be taught a lesson. I plan on showing you what happens to immature brats who try to insult our honor.

You wanna talk about pride? Your so-called honor demands that you kill Rukia. Takes a lot of honor to kill your own sister, doesn't it?

Well, if that's the kind of pride you're talking about, you can bet your ass that I'm gonna mess with it.

That's the reason I got this power - your stupid pride!

Tell me why...

Why did you take the point of your sword away from my throat?

Well? Answer me. Arrogance destroys the footholds of victory.

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

That move of yours...is not Bankai.

There could never be a Bankai as small and fragile as that.

And a lowly Ryoka could never obtain Bankai. It's inconceivable.

With this attack, you will regret not slitting my throat when you had the chance.

A miracle only happens once. Your luck has run out, boy.
