Ronglin's Number One and Number Two members were thrilled to be able to act alongside so many Shinigami Captains for the first time. They ran at full speed, eager to show these Captains their very best.
Shiba Zhu could not help grumbling to herself. They had spent over three months in the World of the Living, and she had never seen them fight Hollows this hard.
