Tsukishima: ...There goes your blade. // I admired your quick thinking, unreleasing your Shikai as soon as I had penetrated your Sheltered Zone... / ...and your skills with the sword have improved as well... // But with your blade shattered in two, it looks like that Shikai is the only option you have left.
Byakuya: ...To think that you would render these seventeen long months of training meaningless.

5
Tsukishima: Oh, I've done nothing of the sort. / Like I just said... / Your skills have improved. // It's just that mine have improved... // ...by just as much as yours. // Well? // Don't tell me you can't use your Shikai now it's broken?

6
Byakuya: Bankai.

7
Byakuya: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

8-9
Tsukishima: Skipping straight to Bankai, are we?// ...Still... // As I've already pointed out, your bankai... // ...is really nothing new to me.

10
Tsukishima: Shikai or Bankai, it's all the same. // As long as I stay in the Sheltered Zone... // ...you're powerless.

11
Tsukishima: !! // (Blades, within the Sheltered...?!)
Byakuya: It seems you were too quick to reveal your own weakness.

12
Tsukishima: ...Weakness?
Byakuya: If you are using my Sheltered Zone for protection... // ...then your potential range of movement becomes severely limited.

13
Byakuya: By directing my blades within the Sheltered Zone... // ...I can strike you with the greatest of ease.
Tsukishima: Strange, very strange... // I do not recall you ever doing any training of that nature.
Byakuya: I daresay no strategy in which I have already trained will be effective against you.
Tsukishima: Oh, I see. / You're just improvising. // And you really believe... // ...that will be enough to defeat me?

14
Tsukishima: As I recall, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi... // ...can move twice as fast when you control it with your hands, yes? // Funny, it feels like it's moving even faster than that. / Well... // I daresay you've improved the speed through diligent training.

15
Tsukishima: However... / You must have already realised. // The more swiftly your blades are able to move... // ...the more suicidal it becomes to suddenly direct them into your own Sheltered Zone!
Byakuya: !

16
Tsukishima: The radius of your sheltered zone... // ...represents the absolute minimum distance at which you can react and avoid any attack that might endanger you yourself. // If you both increase the speed of your blades and start directing them purposefully inside that radius...

17
Tsukishima: ...then the slightest interference... // ...will prevent you from avoiding your own attacks. // So? // Are you beginning to understand? // No matter how you try, there is no way for you to outmatch me. // What will it be next? Kidou, perhaps? / Let me break the bad news to you in advance. // I am versed in methods of sealing each and every one of the Kidou arts you are able to perform. / Come on... // Why don't you try one out, so I can show you?

18
Tsukishima: ............Wha.........?!

19
Tsukishima: ...I see... / ...You concealed the blades within your own fist... // I had no idea... / ...that you were able to fight in that way...
Byakuya: I had always believed... / ...that battle was an art to be perfected through meticulous training and preparation. // But today... / ...for the first time... // I was able to comprehend the thrill of indulging one's more primal instincts. // You have my thanks. // This battle... was an enjoyable one.
