That woman is already one of us.
That's not for you to decide!

On my own terms...
I wanna chAngE
...I wanna change.
I shall eliminate you with my sword.
That was unexpected.
I didn't think you would draw your sword first.
I came here thinking that I'd have to start
by making you draw your sword.
Can I take it you consider me an equal opponent?
At the very least,
I consider you worthy of destroying.
That's good enough for me.
Kurosaki!
New ones keep coming...
Don't just stand there! Let's go!
Sado! Watch it, will you?!
Sorry... They attacked you from behind, so I tried to help...
If you're going to help, then warn me first!
Otherwise I'll get caught in the mess!
Wh-What? You got a problem with that?
I said, warn me!
Sorry.
Good grief!
I knew for quite some time now, but-
you really don't say much, do you?
Really?
Yeah really! You never noticed it all this time?!
Well?
Your subordinates have all fallen.
Grow, Arbol.
My subordinates have fallen. So what of it?
You will soon know...
that by defeating my subordinates, victory shall not come to you.
Ichigo...
Getsuga...Tensho!
Ichigo...
Sorry! You okay?!
I'm okay...
That was, you know... Because you weren't paying attention.
No problem.
Man... He's hard to work with...
We may have trained together before,
but we never did fight together.
So I guess it can't be helped.
Well, against an adversary like this, there should be no problem, though...
What?!
Doesn't that kind of look familiar to you...?
It sort of does...
Ah, that's what it looks like.
As I recall... It's weak against water attacks?
Hey, Rukia!
She's not here.
Sado...you can't do a water attack, can you?
Of course not...
Gah, screw this!
Then we'll beat it down! We just have to beat it down!
What the--?! I can't pull it out?!
In fact, I'm being sucked in!
Thanks...
When it opens its mouth,
I thought it would shoot something out...
If you knew that, give me a heads up!
You pulled out the sword I was about to eat...
So it talks...
My body is heavily armored with sand.
I can easily swallow a sword like that!
What?!
Just as I thought...
I suspected as much, given its size.
I keep telling you to tell me sooner!
Damn! What should we do?
You withstood my Cero without taking out that mask.
You've gotten stronger.
Is it because you defeated Grimmjow?
Or is it because of your friends who continue to fight
under this tower?
Or is it...
because of that woman?
That woman is already one of us.
Even if you rescue her from here, it doesn't change that fact.
What?!
Were you relieved that she appeared to be unharmed?
You don't even know what happened to her on the inside!
Rescuing her...is meaningless.
That's not for you to decide!
You're right.
It's for Lord Aizen to decide.
Did we kill it?!
Sorry.
Sorry isn't gonna cut it! Up! Look up!
I feel twice as drained when fighting alongside with you.
Sorry...
Man...
It's hard enough fighting this thing,
but it sucks when our attacks don't have any effect at all.
Guess I don't have a choice.
I didn't want to use it
against an opponent like this, but...
Bankai!
Shut up, mutt!
All right, then. Let's go.
What a hassle.
Not done yet...
I can do this.
I can see his moves and react.
He hasn't become a different style of fighter
just because he drew his sword.
It just means his attack range has extended.
Watch closely...
Watch closely!
Watch!
Bankai!
Hihio Zabimaru!
That was a pain in the ass.
What?!
Are you...serious?
That was a bit of a surprise.
But you mustn't compare my strength with the likes of Runuganga.
Are you all right?
Yeah...
That Cero...
I think we'd better assume it's closer to an Arrancar
than the guardian we faced previously.
It doesn't look different from an ordinary Hollow, though.
It's getting on my nerves.
Abarai, what did you just say?
That it's getting on my nerves?
No, before that.
What did I say?
Something about it not looking different from an ordinary Hollow...
If you were listening, just say so from the start!
So what about it?
My attacks put everything in a single strike.
I'm always looking for an opponent's weak spot.
I've been thinking all this time about where its weak spot is...
And...?
Its abilities may be nearly Arrancar-level,
but if it looks like an ordinary Hollow.
If we cut off its head in the same way, we can defeat it?
In that case... That'll make things faster!
Wait, I'm not certain yet.
Watch me! I'm taking it down right now!
What?
What are you laughing at?
N-No...it's nothing...
Here I go!
Hikotsu Taiho!
Tsk!
I hardly cut you.
Must be that Hierro of yours. It sure is tough.
But I get the feeling I'm able to read your movements
better than I could before.
What?
The last time we fought,
I couldn't read your movements at all...
Not your attacks, defenses, reactions, speed,
or which way they were coming from...
I couldn't read where or what was coming at all.
I felt like I was fighting a machine or a stone statue.
Is the reason why I've become able to read your movements
because I've become more Hollow-like?
Or...maybe it's because you've become more human like me.
Sado!
What the hell?!
Brazo Izquierdo Del Diablo
El Muerte!
Gotcha!
- Thanks. - Don't mention it.
I'm used to it.
But...what's with that arm of yours?
This?
I guess it's the first time I've shown it to you.
It's my new power.
I see...
With that thing's power,
you could've put a crack that reached nearly to the face.
That was close...
But...it's time I put you away.
- It's coming! - Oh no, you don't!
Go, Sado!
Leave the Cero to me!
Give it another taste of what you did earlier!
El Muerte!
Did you think I couldn't see that coming?!
No, it's not me.
What?!
You thought we didn't see that coming?!
Bastard!
You weren't the decoy?!
We did it!
Sorry about using you as a decoy without telling you.
Forget it. I figured you'd do as much.
You kind of resemble Ichigo.
You didn't have to say that.
It isn't over yet!
Let's go!
Did you say...
I've become more human?
I see...
You must feel really good being able to keep up just at this level.
No, you don't.
We forgot to get the name of that big guy.
It was Batticaloa.
Huh?! When did you get that out of him?
When it first came out.
That was just a grunt!
I'm used to talking with cats and dogs.
That thing's the same as a cat and dog to you?!
ARRANCAR ENCYCLOPEDIA Arrancar Encyclopedia.
Today, we'll cover Rudobon's sword release.
ARBOL Rudobon's sword release is called Arbol.
Today, I'll talk about its powers a bit earlier than its formal appearance in the story.
Never mind that!
Did you see me in action today?!
Explain my Sodenoshirayuki in more detail
in preparation for the upcoming battles!
And the power of my El Muerte, as well...
Um, guys... Don't you want to hear the power
of the enemies you're currently fighting?
- Shut up! - Shut up!
