All right, bring it on!
Gran Caida...
Get 'em!
It's too flashy to be called "assassination"!

Shudder in fear...
Rot...
Arrogante.
Wh-What?
His footstep is rotting and crumbling away the rooftop!
I told you earlier...
I signify aging.
All things near me age...and die off.
Suffer the Dying Breath...
Respira.
Omaeda!
Cut off my arm!
Captain...
Hurry!
Do you want me to get killed?!
Omaeda!
Damn it!
How amusing...
It seems even Soul Reapers are afraid of death.
Are you all right?
Stay away from me. You gross me out.
He's a monster.
I've seen all sorts up until now, but none of them come even close.
This guy's way more dangerous than Aizen.
We can't go near him...
We can't touch him...
There's no way for us to attack, let alone defeat him!
But that's not the real problem...
He caught up with Captain Soi Fon.
That means...his attack is such that no one in the 13 Court Guard Squads can escape.
Omaeda...
Y-Yes?
I believe you said that your duty is to assist me.
Even if you tell me to run, it's my duty to assist you Captain!
Y-Yes! I did say that!
Because we'll need both our powers to defeat him!
I see... Then...
you fight him.
Understood!
Wait, what did you just say?
He's yours for a bit.
You mean one-on-one?
What else is there?
No, no, no, no.
That's impossible...
That's definitely impossible!
Didn't I just say "both of us"?!
What're you talking about?!
A minute ago you told me to run, remember?!
Well?
If you're not going to come at me, then I'll come for you.
You see? You see?! Did you hear that, Captain!
Captain?!
Make sure you protect your right arm...
so you can cut off the part that turns to bone and make your escape.
Okay, he's yours.
Wait, Captain!
Captain!
Cero.
The issue was which of us takes the first step forward, wasn't it?
Things won't play out the way you want if you keep running.
I used a Cero.
Isn't it about time you showed me a Bankai?
I don't know...
It looks like the guy over there presented something called a Resurrección.
How about it?
If you show me that, I'll consider an appropriate response.
You sure are easy-going.
You and me both!
All right, bring it on!
HIRARI
Keep it coming!
I'll kill you!
Yes! That's the spirit!
Give me back my sword!
That, I cannot!
Die, you white-maned freak!
You're not putting your legs into it!
HIRARI
What's the matter?
- Worried about that child?
- Give it back! - Worried about that child?
Give me back my sword!
- It's not that...
- One more time! - It's not that...
Don't worry. Ukitake won't do anything funny with that child.
You should concentrate on our battle.
I said that's not what it is!
I just don't get it...
That child is your subordinate...
A Fracciónes, was it?
Can't say I really understand what the relationship is between them and an Espada.
At least I think there's no difference between you and us
when it comes to feelings you have when your subordinates die.
What're you trying to say?
I was thinking that if that child was on the brink of danger, even you couldn't remain so relaxed.
Damn it!
Give me back my sword!
Are you suggesting taking care of her first?
Didn't I tell you? Ukitake won't do anything funny to her.
Not bad...
Cero!
What can you do alone?
In any event, I can't get too close to this guy.
I have to keep an adequate distance.
No matter how I look at it, this is reckless!
One-on-one against this guy?!
What is Captain Soi Fon thinking?!
Try and make this interesting for me.
Shut up! Mocking me like that...
I'll show you a thing or two!
Except I don't have any plan!
Oh what the heck!
Smash'em, Gegetsuburi!
It appears you wish to rot away your Zanpakuto.
Very well...
Time out, time out!
That's right! Even my Gegetsuburi will rot away if it gets near him!
Ouch! Ouch!
Weren't you aiming for me?
The way you're self-destructing, it would seem you couldn't do a thing.
Moron! I'm not self-destructing!
I'm warming up!
I was stronger than I thought, so the fragments hurt, that's all!
Wait, that's it...
Let's see if you can keep up with me!
How boring...
All you're doing is running away, after all.
What I have to do is lure him someplace where it's easy to fight him.
There's no need to fight him up in the sky where there aren't any obstacles.
Over here!
Get'em!
Good thinking...
You can't attack with your Zanpakuto, so you attacked using other objects.
But something like this is useless.
I already know that!
How about this?!
How many times must I tell you?
Do you really think you can hurt me with this?!
From the very start, I never thought something like that would have any effect!
I don't think this will kill him, but it should be enough to buy some time.
In the meantime, I need to hide somewhere and come up with a plan that works.
What?
Buy enough time, you say? You say interesting things.
No way!
Time has no meaning against my powers.
The frightening thing about aging,
the aspect of death that I signify, is that I can even control time!
It's time you suffered the Dying Breath...
Respira!
I'm not done yet!
HIRARI
You must realize it by now.
You can't even take this sword back from me.
I'm afraid that's the reality and the fact.
So what of it?!
Are you Fracciónes intensely loyal to the Espada to that extent?
Even if you are, stop this already.
Your duty is not to die here needlessly.
You don't call that loyalty.
What is loyalty?! You make me sick!
You reek of lectures, old fart.
Old fart?! You have a foul mouth. I don't approve of that.
Address me properly as, "mister."
I don't know anything about loyalty and stuff like that, but Stark and I...
are different than the other Espadas and Fracciónes.
Man, oh man. I thought that Cero had me.
I really like this kimono a lot.
But I did get a good look...
When you sense that child is in danger, you show a corresponding response.
That's not like you, Captain.
That cheap taunt is not what you were originally after.
Maybe not...
But as far as I can tell, your relationship doesn't seem
the same as between other Espadas and Fracciones.
So what if it isn't?
Is hitting on that point your M.O.?
Who's to say...
I can't be sure, but I'm thinking that's definitely the key to the two of you.
You'll know soon enough...
That is, if you're worthy of it.
Respira!
Damn! If that hits me, it'll...
That was close! That one really almost got me!
Haven't you realized?
If you're going to hide, then all I have to do is eliminate the places where you can hide.
By doing that, I'll flush out that captain who's hiding somewhere.
Yeah, I wish she'd hurry up and come on out!
Anyway, all I can do now is run!
You're working hard at running away, you mound of flesh!
Sh-Shut up!
You must be jealous because you're nothing but bones!
I can't do anything directly using Gegetsuburi...
For crying out loud!
Why isn't my Zanpakuto a Kido-type that shoots fire or ice?!
That's it! Kido!
Kido can reach him!
I've figured out your weak point!
Bakudo 21, Sekienton!
I ended up blinding myself.
Now that I think about it, I can hardly use Kido, damn it!
That was close... I got carried away and almost made him angry.
This isn't going to work! It's obviously not going to work!
I'm really going to get killed!
C-Captain!
Help!
What a pathetic cry... Imbecile...
I couldn't even leave you in charge for a moment.
When we're done with this battle, I'll beat the crap out of you until you're more ugly than before.
Okay, that should do it.
Looks like you have nothing more to offer even if I let you run free.
Time to finish it.
What the heck is that?!
Gran Caida...
A guillotine that's too good for you.
Rot away...and die!
Ban...kai!
Jakuho Raikoben!
Is that what a Bankai looks like?
C-Captain!
That's the first time I've seen it. So that's Captain Soi Fon's Bankai!
What's with that shape?!
How is she supposed to fight with that?!
That's a ginjotan!
The steel sash you wear under armor!
Why does she have such a heavy thing wrapped around her body?!
With that wrapped around her, even Captain Soi Fon's mobility would be limited.
If possible, I wanted to end this without using this Bankai.
This Bankai goes against my pride as a member of the Stealth Force.
It is too huge. I cannot hide with it,
and it is too heavy to move freely with it.
And its attack...
It's too flashy to be called "assassination"!
Take this!
I'm not going to lose to you, old fart!
There's spinning tops here. Let's play with these.
I told you kids games won't work on me!
I'll give you candy then!
There's strawberry, milk, and green tea flavor. Which one would you like?
Um... Then I'll have the...
Quit falling for it, Lilinette.
Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers.
I wonder if Captain Ukitake is all right?
Hey, don't you think we should be fighting for Captain Ukitake?!
You're right!
I'll get ready!
Captain...
Or maybe he's already...
Or worse yet...
Hey, I'm ready!
Camera, camera!
