Spoilers for current Manga chapters especially around 514, so be warned, though I tried to be as vague as possible. I do not own Bleach.

First Aizen, then Ginjo, now this guy.

They all claim that they know me, all claim that something they did was the cause of my existence. All claim that they know my potential, my destiny.

Why the hell do they think I'm going to fall for that?

I am Kurosaki Ichigo, I have the power I need to protect, and I will remove all those that threaten those under my protection.

I am not a pawn in anyone's game.

I don't care for world conquest, for more power than I can control, or revenge. I care about the existence of my friends and family, of my home town.

If Aizen hadn't tried to kill my friends, hadn't kidnapped Inoue, I wouldn't have cared all that much about what happened between him and Soul Society.

If Ginjo hadn't manipulated me, hadn't tried to break my trust in not only the living but also my allies in Soul Society, I wouldn't have battled him.

And now this bastard, casting doubt and trying to get me to march to his tune, right after he and his men just attacked helpless civilians and killed a few of my allies . . . he might tell the truth, but it matters very little.

I'll get my answers, but that won't stop me from killing him and his cronies for what he's done.

I am Kurosaki Ichigo, you have threatened and harmed those under my protection.

Your life is forfeit, I have the power to bring you down . . . and I will, no matter what you claim. Because I swore I would protect, and nothing is going to make me take back that promise.

Absolutely nothing.
