12x07 - Hisagi's Shikai! The Name is...

[bunniefuu]

In order to prevent Aizen from

wiping out Karakura Town, an Enriched Spirit Zone,

the Soul Reapers evacuated the people of Karakura Town

by using four pillars to relocate the entire town to the Rukon district.

Ikkaku Madarame, Izuru Kira,

Yumichika Ayasegawa and Shuhei Hisagi

were assigned to defend the pillars.

The four faced the Fracciones sent by Barragan.

The battle between Charlotte Chuhlhourne and Yumichika

escalated into a battle over beauty.

Yumichika struggled against

Chuhlhourne's Resurreccion, Reinas de Rosas,

but emerged victorious by using Ruriirokujaku,

his Zanpakuto's genuine form.

At the same time, Kira faced off against Abirama Redder.

Against the Devorar Pluma att*cks by

Abirama's Resurreccion, Aguila,

Kira was forced on the defensive.

However,

Kira was waiting for his adversary to make a direct att*ck.

Then, by using the power of his Wabisuke

to make Aguila's wings of steel heavier,

he finally brought Abirama down to the ground.

What?!

Were your legs crushed because you couldn't get away in time?

I didn't think I used that great a speed, though!

You saved me the trouble.

For what?

Your long-distance att*cks were tough to deal with.

All this time,

I was thinking of a way to make you att*ck me directly.

You see,

there's no point in cutting objects separated from its target with my sword.

What the hell is this?!

Damn it!

What's happening?! My wings are suddenly

It makes what it cuts weigh double.

If I cut twice, it will weigh double again.

Cut a third time, and it will weigh double again.

That is the power of my Zanpakuto, Wabisuke.

Earlier, you asked,

"What in the world was I going to cut with that oddly shaped sword," didn't you?

Wait Please wait a minute!

A warrior shouldn't beg for his life.

I don't get it.

Don't get what?

A while ago,

you said you'd fight with strength equal to a Lieutenant.

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt,

your strength right now was about fifth seat.

What's up with that?

Exacta.

That is correct.

Correct, you say?

My strength right now is indeed

at the level of a fifth seat in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.

It pleases me that you made the correct assumption.

Just what I would expect of a Lieutenant.

You pass.

What?

This is a test.

A test to check to see if you could accurately measure my strength.

Unless I did that, you wouldn't realize it

even if I fought at lieutenant-level strength, right?

My current strength is that of a fifth seat.

And

The impact of his sword is greater?!

This is fourth seat!

Third seat!

Quit fooling around!

Am I getting closer?

And

This is lieutenant level!

Can you feel it?

This is a lieutenant's Spiritual Pressure,

and this is a lieutenant's power!

And, this is a lieutenant's

sword!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

What's the matter? C'mon! C'mon!

It's useless!

I wonder how long you can last.

How was that?

That was a lieutenant-level Spiritual Pressure, Cero and Bala!

So then, Lieutenant

How do you feel?

You appear quite exhausted.

Don't you think it's about time for you to get serious, Lieutenant?!

This is a lieutenant speed.

What's the matter, Lieutenant?!

You seem quite worn-down?

In a battle between lieutenants,

would only one side be worn-down like this?!

I wonder what this could mean.

You're fighting me, who is at lieutenant-level ability,

but you're the only one getting worn-down.

What do you think is happening?

You're an annoying bastard.

Are you trying to tell me that

I don't have the strength of a lieutenant?

Exacta!

Just what I would expect of a lieutenant!

If I haven't misjudged the strength of you Court Guard Squads,

then that is precisely what it means!

Don't call me "Lieutenant."

It's Shuhei Hisagi!

I told you my name at the start, remember?

How rude of me.

It slipped my mind.

It was a breach of etiquette for me

to allow only you to identify yourself.

I'll tell you my name.

I am Findorr Calius, a Fraccion of His Majesty Barragan.

Well then, now that I've complied with your etiquette,

it's about time I put an end to the battle

in a manner that follows your methods.

In other words, this will end with me slashing you to death!

Shuhei Hisagi!

Carve upon the Water

Pinza Aguda!

Is that what you call an Arrancar's Resurreccion?

Exacta!

That is correct. Very good.

You're badly mistaken if you think

you're the only ones with information on your opponents.

No, I never thought that way.

Exacta!

I give you credit for following the speed of my Sonido with your eyes!

Correct this, correct that You're one annoying bastard!

Seems you still have a lot of fight left.

To live is to face one difficult problem after another.

The ones who survive are the ones

who choose the correct answer just a few more times!

Therefore,

anyone would want to possess even a few more correct answers!

Am I wrong?!

Is that why you're giving me the correct answers?

Such grand talk.

Bakudo : Hyapporankan!

You're finished!

Motormouth!

Don't underestimate me! Soul Reaper!

A high-pressure water stream?!

Exacta!

It's not a good idea to turn your eyes away from your enemy.

No es exacto!

Wrong answer!

Too bad, Soul Reaper!

You think you've escaped me?!

It's over!

Reap...

Kazeshini!

Hisagi

Finally.

I see.

So that's your Zanpakuto, Shuhei Hisagi.

Yeah

This is my Zanpakuto, Kazeshini.

I'm not very fond of it, though.

What do you mean?

Just that

I don't like the shape of this thing.

Look at its shape.

See how it takes the form of something that reaps lives?

Damn it!

You're not getting away!

Hard to predict

the trajectory of this thing, isn't it?

Afraid?

Who's afraid?!

I see.

I'm afraid.

Afraid?

Afraid that your own power is too huge?!

What cheap narcissism!

Keep dreaming, Soul Reaper!

In fact, allow me to wake you up! Right now!

It's over!

When I strip off percent of my mask,

my strength becomes equal to that of a captain!

You, a lieutenant, have no chance of winning!

You're not afraid of your own strength

or the enemy's?

You're not much.

A person who isn't afraid

A person who isn't afraid of the sword he holds

is not qualified to hold a sword.

That is what I was taught.

Are you feeling afraid now?

You're equal with me at last.

Damn you!

Take this!

Equal to a captain, you say?

You are so far off.

The pillar is

destroyed?!

Destroyed?! By whom?!

Ik

Ikkaku!

Madarame was

defeated?!

Madarame was defeated?

We have to hurry and help him!

Leave that to me!

After all, this arc is about helping us, the unfortunate lieutenants

who don't get enough screen time.

I see!

Iba, don't say "unfortunate" and things like that.

And Hisagi, don't sympathize with him.

Substitute Soul Reaper Work Journal!

SUBSTITUTE SOUL REAPER WORK JOURNAL

Please have a look.

I see

Well done, Kuchiki.

Nice work.

Yes, sir.

Are you serious?

Also, about the illustration

Yes, I have it right here.

What?!

Why is an illustration necessary?

Isn't that a report?!

Report? Hardly.

This is the manuscript that we'll be publishing in the Seireitei Bulletin.

What?!
