I see.
This guy is a handful.
I was wondering at the time when his Spiritual Pressure was almost gone.
How could this be?
-Bakudo… -Idiot!
How could he be stopped by just Kido?
Ikkaku is reckless as ever.
Ikkaku!
Damn it.
He may be a corpse now, but he used to be the captain of Squad 10.
Thank goodness I only got one foot frozen.
Damn it…
How dare you harm Ikkaku.
Ruriiro Ku--
I see. I understand now.
Your abilities now are the same as they were when you were still alive.
No.
You became a zombie before death, didn't you?
You're right!
Transformation before death gives zombies
faster reflexes as the cells are fresh.
Since they lack self-awareness,
I am free to manipulate them as I like.
I could say it's full of benefits.
I see. How absurd.
What's the point of manipulating someone who isn't conscious?
I'm not a sadist, and questions like that only give me a headache.
After we defeat that zombie girl, all we need to do is defeat him, right?
Not bad. You're quite handsome.
It's perfect…
that you're my enemy!
Idiot, back off!
Idiot.
Don't you realize he's an unbeatable opponent?
As punishment, I will carry out your death-by-waiting sentence.
Damn jerk.
Alright, Captain Hitsugaya.
I don't want you to kill my test subjects on your own.
Oh my, it seems talking to you is useless.
Forget it.
I'm not as impolite as other people appear to be.
Causing you pain without first seeking your permission is not in my nature.
Captain Hitsugaya,
I would like you to try a few drugs.
You should be willing to cooperate now.
Don't worry.
Of course, all of this is for Seireitei.
All of this is for Seireitei.
Are you wondering why I can see through your swordsmanship
even though I spend most of the time in the lab?
A few days ago, I installed sensors in Ashisogi Jizo.
I have programmed it to react at any angle greater than 60 degrees
if a sword comes within two feet of me.
That is to say,
I am capable of effortlessly parrying your sword blows.
From what I just said, you must have concluded that you can hit me
with anything other than a sword.
Do you not see that I am baiting you into an attack without a sword?
Bankai.
Daiguren Hyorinmaru.
Cap…
Captain Hitsugaya.
I would like you to try a few drugs.
You should be willing to cooperate now.
Don't worry.
All of this is for Seireitei.
Are you wondering why I can see through your swordsmanship
even though I spend most of the time in the lab?
I've heard these words before.
What is wrong?
You can actually have a conversation, which is a new discovery.
Bankai.
Daiguren Hyorinmaru.
You are indeed very strong.
Captain Hitsugaya.
I would like you to try a few drugs.
You should be willing to cooperate now.
What's going on?
What exactly happened?
Hey, what's wrong?
Have you begun to take notice?
Hello, Captain Hitsugaya.
How many times have the same things occurred?
The effects of taking any of my drugs are guaranteed to be extraordinary.
Powers that surpass human intelligence, perception, reaction, and courage…
And I granted you the power to access the past.
Each time you reach a certain point in the battle,
you are transported back to the same time and location from the past.
And "a certain point" means murdering me.
That is, as long as you don't kill me,
your future will continue indefinitely.
But if you kill me, your future will stop at that point.
Are you feeling troubled?
Defeating the enemy is necessary for progress,
but doing so will set you back.
Unfortunately, this medication only affects the hippocampus,
the part of brain responsible for short-term memory.
As a result, the user has no idea how many times they went back to the past.
Furthermore, after the number of time travel attempts exceeds ten,
serious negative consequences will start to show up.
A 30-second paralysis will affect the balance center of the brain.
The kind Captain Hitsugaya may not mind 30 seconds of paralysis.
However, this could prove disastrous in the heat of battle.
Even though all new drugs have risks, this one is unmarketable.
Alright, here's the question.
When did I drug you?
Damn it.
Let me know your answer in the past.
Ashisogi Jizo.
Following the effect on your balance, your limbs will be completely paralyzed.
Giving this drug to someone who can't refuse it makes me sad too.
Stop it…!
It is encouraging to know that
you can still put up this kind of verbal resistance.
It's so embarrassing that all these captains and lieutenants
have turned into corpses.
This will hinder my observation process.
You guys just hold them back a bit.
Morphine Pattern.
What's with that guy?
His Spiritual Pressure has no flaws.
Scatter, Senbonzakura.
Galvano…
Out of power?
I'm going to defeat you, and defeat Ichigo Kurosaki.
And then I will go to His Highness!
Sklaverei.
Bankai.
Grimaniel.
Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
They're all useless.
However, it is natural that only we are left in terms of strength.
That's true.
But is that the same guy who was defeated by As Nodt before?
He's quite impressive, isn't he?
Damn it.
Where on earth has PePe gone?
This battle could have been better with his ability.
But he is repulsive. It doesn't matter whether he is present or not.
Even if he is repulsive or stupid, he's better here than not.
Captain Kuchiki.
I have defeated one person.
By the way…
You have already defeated three people.
By the time I had defeated one person, he had already defeated three.
Is this the gap between the captain and the lieutenant?
Why am I celebrating the defeat of just one person?
Why did you suddenly attack me?
That's my line.
Why did you slash at me?
Are you being controlled by the enemy?
Or are you an imposter played by the enemy?
Impossible. I'm just me.
-Here he is. -I am not being controlled by the enemy.
I am simply doing this…
for Lord PePe!
There's only one heart,
and only one body.
As long as my eyes gaze upon you, your heart will be split in half.
Once the halves of the heart and body are recombined into one, they become mine.
Sternritter, the designation "L,"
"The Love," PePe is here!
STERNRITTER "L," PEPE WACCABRADA
Here you go!
Damn it.
Lord PePe.
Idiot. Stop it, Meni.
Stop fighting over me just because you like me.
I've never had the thought that if everyone dies,
I'll get all the credit by myself or whatever.
How sad.
Battles always make people sad.
Because there is love, battles occur.
All battles are born from love.
Where there is no love, there will be no battles.
Therefore, battles make people sad.
Therefore, battles are so amazing!
Are you done with your speech?
I have just finished as well.
In spite of all the talk of love,
it is the power to control people.
If the caster dies, the puppets will no longer be able to be controlled.
As expected of Byakuya Kuchiki.
You saw through it.
How scary!
Things without a heart
cannot be controlled because it is love.
Yes, since you see through it so clearly,
then why did you still take it with your Zanpakuto?
I'm aware that a Zanpakuto has a heart.
That's why I didn't steal your Bankai in the previous battle.
Because the Zanpakuto has a heart,
I can steal it at any time.
Why did you let go?
I am giving you a chance now.
The chance for the Soul Reaper who loves me
to use the weapon that loves me.
Regardless of the difficulties faced, they can be overcome.
As long as it's for love, one will strive to achieve the goals.
The power of love is great, isn't it?
It appears that using Hakuda against the Zanpakuto has its limitations.
I let go of Senbonzakura so as not to damage it.
I was too careless.
Love Kiss!
Weird. Do you really not have any love?
It is unforgivable that someone would reject my love.
I will not tolerate this!
Gudoero!
Look at me!
Isn't my innocent appearance
unconsciously lovable?
Love Rope!
Wait a minute.
Don't kill him.
I've decided to kill him with my love.
Take this.
This is the ultimate love!
You guys…
What is that look?
Oh my, look who it is.
I didn't expect us to encounter the enemy again.
This is a good opportunity to test the performance of my Zombie Unit.
Kurotsuchi… Is this what you did?
What did you do to Muguruma and Otoribashi?
Don't accuse me falsely.
I saved them.
How do you feel about returning to the past?
I preemptively injected the fluid of the Arrancars with the drug.
Those of you who were covered in their blood
must have felt its effects keenly.
It's useless.
My body has resistance to all the drugs I've made.
Stop yelling.
I'll get you out of this right now.
The amount of blood required
for zombification depends on how high their Spiritual Pressure is.
A single drop of blood to the brain
can turn someone into a zombie if their Spiritual Pressure is low.
At high Spiritual Pressure,
the invading blood must multiply in the heart
and spread throughout the body to turn someone into a zombie.
This causes the skin of captains and lieutenants to darken and become murky.
Isn't that right?
My drug changes the composition of the blood.
What?
I have blood samples from all squad members of Seireitei.
Based on the blood samples, I've developed a drug that replaces
blood other than that with a blood-like substance I created.
I don't understand what you're saying.
I thought so.
Then I'll get right to the point.
Through the administration of this drug,
your zombies will turn into my zombies.
Thank you for listening.
You lost, zombie girl.
So that's how it turned out?
You could have just let them die,
but instead you toyed with them.
It seems we still disagree with each other.
Do you not believe that 13 Court Guard Squads' ultimate goal
is to ensure Seireitei's safety even in death?
This is sophistry.
Say what you will.
My love is much stronger than Gigi's zombies.
Gigi's zombies have also become my captives in the past--
Really, you're not listening at all.
Didn't I say?
They are no longer the zombies of that Gigi.
They are my zombies.
Love doesn't work on my zombies.
Damn it.
Damned minion without love.
I'll never forgive you.
Li… Liltotto.
I-I'm glad to see you so animated.
You attempted to kill us by forcing us to fight each other.
You should know how to shoulder the blame.
Spare me!
I see.
Is this the Soul King Palace?
Is the only thing to be severed
life itself?
