[Bleach 569]
Rukia: ......Brother.........!
[The White Haze]

2
ÄsNödt: It is good to see you. // I was becoming tired of waiting. // So, how are they? / The organs that I gouged out of you? // I’m quite sure I took out your entire stomach, at least. // You must have been very hungry, not being able to eat anything. // Would you say... // ...you’ve lost a little weight?

3
Rukia: (Of course... // This man was just using me as a way to lure my brother out into the open...!) // Brother, don’t look! // You mustn’t meet his eyes!!
ÄsNödt: Too... // ...late.

[no text just eyes]

5
Byakuya: Too late... // ...for whom?
ÄsNödt: .........I see... // So you already surrounded this entire area with your Senbonzakura Kageyoshi...... // ...I really do like... // ...that Bankai of yours. // Why couldn’t you have let me keep it......?!
Byakuya: .........Bankai?

6
Byakuya: Take a closer look. // If you have wielded your Bankai yourself for a time... // ...you should be quite aware. // Senbonzakura Kageyoshi... // ...turns my entire sword into its blades.

7
Byakuya: This is my Shikai. // Merely “Senbonzakura”.
ÄsNödt: What... // ...did... // ...you say...?
Byakuya: Thanks to your theft of my Bankai... / ...I was able to come to terms with the true nature of Senbonzakura. // All bonds are like a pointillist painting. // Only by distancing yourself from them can one observe their true form. // Foolish as I was... / ...I had forgotten this fact.

8
Byakuya: I owe you my thanks... // Äs Nödt.
ÄsNödt: .............................. // ................................................

9
ÄsNödt: I will not kill you... / I will not kill you... / I will not kill you... // I will not kill you... // I will not kill you... / I will not kill you... / I will not kill you!! // Under no circumstances will I bring about your death!!! // I will not allow you to lose consciousness or even your sanity! / I will submerge you in an ocean of pain and fear... // ...and cause you to live out an eternity... / ...wishing for the bliss of death!!!

10
Byakuya: .........Rukia. // As I was descending to this place... / ...all the while... // ...I could feel your reiatsu. // You have become strong... // Rukia.

11
Rukia: (Brother... // Brother said... // ...I have become strong.........!)
Byakuya: .........Fear... // ...is never born from nothing.

12
Byakuya: It is born from the tiny insecurities... / ...that linger within our hearts. // Do you still feel afraid? // Rukia.
Rukia: .........No!

13
ÄsNödt: This is the end. // Kuchiki Byakuya.
Byakuya: The end? / I see. // But I must apologise.

14
Byakuya: It will not be I... // ...who defeats you.
ÄsNödt: ......What...? // ...I have had enough... // ...of your taunts and insults......!
Byakuya: Look closely. / Rukia. // It is not fear... // ...that is reflected in his form.

15
Byakuya: If there is no fear in our own hearts... / ...we see nothing reflected in his form... // ...but his own unease.
Rukia: ......Bankai. // Hakka no Togame.
