Ichigo: !

Ichigo: You’re the guy from just now... // What happened to Grimmjow?
NakkLeVaar: Grimmjow? Oh, you mean the crazy hair guy? // He’s taking a nap over that way. // Or... / Was it this way? // The streets around here are so complicated, I’m not good with them...
Ichigo: Did Grimmjow lose, then?

3
NakkLeVaar: How about we quit talking about things in terms of winners and losers? // I’m not good with that kind of thing.
Ichigo: Nobody asked about your preferences. / Answer me.
NakkLeVaar: I’d rather not. / If you ask me my name, though, I’ll answer that much. // I’m Askin Nakk Le Vaar.

Ichigo/NakkLeVaar: ?!

Ganju: Wh... / What the heck?! // (I...... / It suddenly got all dark...and cold, too!)
Chad: No...... / It’s not that the temperature has lowered... // And the light hasn’t faded either...... // This is...... // ...a cold chill.........
Orihime: This is so strange... / I haven’t seen or heard anything to provoke it......... // ...yet cold chills won’t stop running down my spine......
Ichigo: .........This reiatsu.........

Barro: .........Am I imagining things? // It feels as though the sky has turned darker......

8
Barro: ......So, finally you come out of your own accord......
Shunsui: Sorry to keep you waiting. // By the by... // Might I ask for your impressions on this?

9
Shunsui: How does the world... // ...look to you right now?
Barro: ?
Shunsui: Does it seem dark and lonely... // ...and full of despair?
Barro: I see. / So this is your ability. / My surroundings do seem to have become a little darker. // Is this the phenomenon known as Bankai?
Shunsui: It’s a Bankai, all right.
Barro: It is dark, I will give you that, but “full of despair” seems like an exaggeration. // After all...

10
Barro: An envoy of God knows not despair.

11
Barro: We may not have any information on your Bankai’s abilities... / But there is one thing of which we are fully aware. // If a blade’s owner perishes... // ...its Bankai too will vanish. // ...............?

12
Barro: ?! // What............ // ...is this............?!
Shunsui: “Act the First” // “Hesitance and Apportionment of Wounds”

13
Shunsui: As though to share in his suffering... // ...the wounds upon his partner’s body appear upon his own. // Yet in a cruel twist of fate... // ...he cannot die from those wounds.
Barro: What is this...? // What is happening...?!
Shunsui: I told you. / This is my Bankai.

14
Shunsui: Katen Kyoukotsu Karamatsu Shinjuu. // But let us conclude our intermission... // ...and remain silent during the performance, if you will. // Thus begins... // Act the Second.

15
Shunsui: “The Pillow of Shame” // Lamenting that he has caused his partner such wounds... // The man collapses upon the floor in shame... / ...and is consumed by an incurable ailment. // Speechless, we proceed... // ...to Act the Third.

16-17
Shunsui: “The Severing Depths” // Resigning themselves to their fate... // The two hurl themselves into the gushing waters... // ...until no reiatsu remains in their bodies.
