Ichiki (thinking): I feel the energy of both the Tobimune and Enten closing on the HQ as we speak.. Yet how have they not descended down here yet?

Kasen: With this, everyone is completely isolated and helpless.
Ichiki (thinking): They changed the make-up of the barrier to keep the Tobimune and Enten out of it..? To keep two Enchanted Blades out of something? Is such a thing even possible.. No, regardless..

Kasen: It is more than plenty for total annihilation. The Rakuzaichi should’ve confirmed it to you aswell. The Enten and Flame-bone are two rivaling powerhouses. Nevertheless, a mortal sorcerer isn’t even enough to buy you time.

Yura (thinking): He withstood the centipede..? ..No.
Uruha (thinking): The Centipede is a 360 degree attack which makes its one weakness incredibly apparent.
