Hunt...
Tiburon.
Wh-What?!
So that's all you've got...
A mere ice dragon will
sink to the bottom of the ocean with a single blow from a shark.
You're next.
I will have my revenge for those three.
What is the meaning of this?
I didn't think that your speed and range
would suddenly increase so soon after your sword release.
I'm glad I took precautions.
A virtual ice image...
I can use a trick like this only once,
so I really didn't want to use it until the very last moment.
Don't underestimate our strength.
I see...
As I might have expected from a captain...
You seem to have an ability proportionate to your rank to avoid danger.
But don't think that's enough to save you.
What?
What destructive power!
You fool.
How can you let your guard down? It's bad enough you're lacking in brain and strength.
Oh, I'm sorry...
Wait a second! That's harsh, Captain!
The brain part was unnecessary, you know!
That Halibel is putting on quite a show.
Now the enemy must learn the pain of her sacrifice.
Sacrifice?
Yes.
Each Espada signifies an aspect of death.
A mortal's death results from those ten aspects.
It is also the basis
behind each Espada's abilities, beliefs, and reason for existing.
Loneliness.
Emptiness.
Despair.
Destruction.
Intoxication.
Insanity.
Greed.
Rage.
And Halibel signifies the aspect of death known as "sacrifice."
That lethal power shall consume the brat, leading to his death.
Too soft.
I've seen through that technique!
Don't underestimate me.
You should have realized by now...
My ice-snow type Zanpakuto turns water of any kind into a weapon.
Even if that water is your weapon.
Your attacks will never reach me if all you can do is manipulate water.
It can, and it will.
If you want to see it, I will show you.
Come.
Do you think I'd fall for your taunts and close the distance between us?
That's what I mean by...
you underestimating me!
You're the one who is underestimating me.
Hirviendo.
You realized my water could become your weapon,
but you must also consider the possibility of the opposite being equally true.
Such is the ironclad rule of battle.
Cascada.
Captain Komamura!
Don't worry. That shock wave was nowhere near here.
More importantly, hurry and finish up their treatment.
Yes, sir.
But so many are hurt so badly...
There's no way I can do this in time alone.
This force field isn't impenetrable, either.
Captain Komamura is the only one who can stand against them.
If they attack...
Come on out.
Did you think you could trick me with that?
That was close.
I somehow managed to avoid it by quickly putting up a wall of ice,
but if I got caught by that force, I wouldn't have lasted a second.
I don't stand a chance against her with an ordinary defense.
What are you doing?
Don't tell me you finally realized your situation and chickened out?
"If the enemy's weapon is one's weapon,
then the opposite must also be true," you say?
I don't need to hear
your old-fashioned lectures for me to understand that.
Gunchotsurara!
It's the same regardless of what technique you use.
Hirviendo.
In return for the lecture, let me teach you something.
"The greatest danger comes when you use your greatest tactic."
That is also an "ironclad rule of battle."
Amusing.
I'm thrilled...
It looks like you're starting to get serious here.
What else can I do?
The idea of just getting myself pounded doesn't sit well, even for me.
But it seems you're hardly putting your best effort into it.
Whoa!
Boy, that was close.
If you had attacked me like you meant it, I'd be dead for sure. Yep.
You had no intention of slashing me from the start.
So why go through the trouble?
We won't get anywhere if all we do is observe what the other might do.
Things will change greatly if one of us takes the first step forward.
But that's where the problem lies.
The moment one of us takes a big step forward...
That's what both of us are waiting for.
Put another way,
the battle changes when one of us can make the other take the first step in.
Aren't you getting impatient?
I'd like to see your Cero about now.
Good grief. Why not?
I'll take you up on your invitation.
La Gota.
What is she up to?
It doesn't look like she's blindly launching her techniques.
On the other hand,
she is aware this technique is not enough to finish me off.
Her aim is most likely...
Is it okay for you to look away?
You seem fast when running away.
Cero!
No more running for you.
You fight such a timid battle.
Can't say I blame you, though.
You and I are both waiting for the same thing, aren't we?
For this battleground to fill with water
so we can strike a single death blow.
If that's the case, so what?
It just means I have to think of a plan.
I have no choice.
We're going nowhere if she and I are waiting for the same thing.
I've never tried this with Bankai, but I'll give it a go!
Did you come up with some sort of strategy?
Actually, I don't have to wait for the water.
Here goes!
This Spiritual Pressure!
They're so close by!
What's the matter?
Did you hesitate because it might injure your allies?
Shut up.
What do you care?
Well, never mind.
Either your allies become sacrifices,
or you yourself become a sacrifice.
Feel free to make the choice.
How's this?!
Sennen Hyoro!
He did it!
So this is the best you can do?
What?!
Are you done?
If you don't have anything more, then here I come!
Damn it!
Cascada.
If I dodge...
Then the people below will...
Damn it!
Ryusenka!
Did you think you could stop me, using a technique like that?
The volume of water in this battleground
has already reached a level that is more than enough to finish you.
That last Cascada won't even compare with the one that's coming.
Captain Hitsugaya...
No way... Captain Hitsugaya...
To...shi...ro...
So you shattered that Cascada...
But you are naïve.
Our existence is built upon the noble sacrifices made.
Instead, you fall in battle from trying to protect your subordinates.
My subordinates were not simply defeated.
They left behind markers for me, on how to carry on the fight.
If I had lost, my subordinates' sacrifices would have all been for nothing.
I hold within me the resolve of those who sacrificed their lives.
I know that.
I suffered a great deal of damage, but...
It's unlikely you'll be able to fight at full strength with those injuries.
And that's exactly why I will.
Such a waste of effort.
What is this?
My Hyorinmaru is the strongest ice-snow type Zanpakuto.
All water is my weapon.
All the heavens are under my control.
Hyoten Hyakkaso.
That Barragan dude sure is able to memorize a lot, isn't he?
He didn't memorize it.
He was looking at his hands the whole time he was talking.
He probably noted down the lines on his palm with a pen.
Oh, is that it? He's pretty stupid...
Just like you.
What?!
Arrancar Encyclopedia
Today I'll be talking about Halibel.
Halibel's sword release is called "Tiburon."
It has the ability to manipulate water.
As long as it's water,
she can freely control its temperature from hot to cold.
Although once she goes into release mode, her clothes reveal more skin.
It's a bit embarrassing.
It's so I don't have to worry about getting wet.
Whoa, cold!
