"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"
Ichigo Kurosaki stared grimly at the blue Prison binding Ulquiorra before him.
Kiruge Opie, the Quincy who had released this Prison, had just been killed by Ichigo Kurosaki.
Yet although Kiruge Opie was dead, the Prison he had released while alive still remained.
Clang!
Clang!
