• Tsuna challenged Old Man Zangetsu for withholding Ichigo’s power out of fear, and Ichigo asked Zangetsu to believe in him as he had always believed in Zangetsu.
• Old Man Zangetsu explained that Quincies could cultivate their own Saint Letters, while a Quincy with Saint Letter A could forcibly awaken another’s power.
