Bleach 388
Eagle Without Wings 2 [EXTREME BATTLEMASTERS MIX]
Ichigo: (Don't look at his Shikai. // If I'm going to achieve that... // I have to end this in one strike. // Strike him down. // Strike him!!!]

3-4
Ichigo: (I'm right behind him!!)

5-6
[no text just strike]

7
Ichigo: (!)

8
Aizen: ...It has been quite some time... // ...ryoka boy.

9
Ichigo: (He blocked... // ...my first strike............!)

10
Aizen: ...Your strike was splendid, but your choice of target poor. // The nape of the neck is the weakest point of any living creature. // Do you think that I would go into battle... // ...leaving such a weakness unprotected?
Ichigo: (I was careless...! // I was scared somehow... scared that I would fail to control my Hollow transformation. // I misjudged that split-second decision. // I should have made that strike in Hollow form!!!)
Aizen: ...Allow me to surmise what is going through your mind. // You made an error of judgement just now. / You should have used your Hollow transformation for that initial strike. // Had you done so, you would have been able to settle this in one decisive blow... // Well, go ahead.

11
Aizen: Allow me to show you... // ...that you assume far too much of yourself.

12
Aizen: Very good. // Now strike.
Ichigo: Getsuga...

13
Ichigo: ...TENSHOU!!!!
Aizen: Is something wrong? // Your attack failed to reach me.

14
Aizen: ...Why do you insist on keeping such distance from me? // If you wish to make a decisive strike, you should do so at point-blank range. // Or perhaps... // ...you are afraid of moving in too close, and letting even a part of my body out of your sight? // If so, I am disappointed. // Keeping one's distance is only a key factor in a battle between two combatants of equal strength. // Between you and myself... / ...distances hold no meaning whatsoever. // Observe... / I am perfectly capable...

15
Aizen: ...of reaching your heart at any moment.

16
Aizen: I put a question to you... / ...ryoka boy. // For what reason do you seek to battle me? // Do you possess some manner of hatred for me? // I see not why. // If you are here, then I presume that Inoue Orihime is safe and sound. // And from the look on your face, I would say that not one of your comrades has perished. // How, then... // ...can you hate me from the bottom of your heart?

17
Aizen: It is impossible. // You have not a shred of hatred within you. / You wield your blade out of naught but a sense of duty. // That will not be enough to reach me. // Hostility without hatred is as an eagle without wings. // It will not allow you to protect a single thing. // The existence of your powerless comrades... / ...acts as nothing more than a shackle to hold you down.

18
Komamura: Do not rise to his provocations. // Kurosaki Ichigo.
Ichigo: ...Komamura-san...!
Komamura: Manipulating the enemy in this way is his speciality. // Lose yourself in it, and you lose your life. // ...Be calm. // I am quite aware of the reason... / ...why the Captains who departed for Hueco Mundo sent you here first of all. // I will not allow you to witness Aizen's Shikai.

19-20
Komamura: We... // ...will protect you in this battle.
