Do not, under any circumstances, engage the Octava. I know him, I know what he's capable of, he'll chew you up and spit you out before you can say In the Name of Science. Don't talk to him, don't respond, don't even acknowledge he exists. I'm not gonna let him get away with anything else--don't you dare put any of yourselves on his radar. I am not losing anyone else to this bastard.
Stand down for now. If any of you catch his eye and end up next on his table, I won't forgive you.

Whatever you're thinking, stop. I know you're close with Kuukaku. I ain't about to just let her die. I've got a few ideas, and we can't afford any more casualties--and certainly not you. If you can meet with me, I have some things to discuss.

Soutaichou, with all due respect, this is bullshit. You told us to wait, to be cautious, not to fall into Szayel's trap, and now he's got Shiba Kuukaku in his clutches. How many more are we going to let him break, destroy, torture, and kill before something is done about it? I refuse to let anyone else suffer because that monster is alive. And if you won't give the order to go take back what's ours and put an end to that which threatens all of Soul Society, then I'll do it on my own.
I have a few plans I'd like to discuss with you. I don't wanna do this without your consent, but if you won't give it, then I've no qualms about going it alone. Szayel has to be stopped--Seireitei, and all of Soul Society, is at his mercy, and it can't be allowed to continue. You told me not to buck the rules unless I believed in what I was doing...and I believe, more than anything, that until Szayel is dead, none of us are safe. And that's unacceptable.
You have twelve hours to come up with a plan, or I'm acting on my own. I won't watch any more comrades die because it's a risk to go help them. He's hurt us for the last time.
