Transmigrate Through a Thousand Nights

To me, Yoruichi Shihoin is someone too extraordinary to describe in mere words.

Even though we haven't seen each other in over a hundred years, even though our relationship is complicated and we seem like sworn enemies,

I still can't deny that she changed my world.

She turned me from an arrogant noble into someone more like a "human being."

I was angered and resentful toward her. The instant we met again, I even swung my sword without hesitation, holding nothing back.

And yet, more than a hundred years ago, perhaps even earlier, I swore that one day I would grow strong enough to protect this infuriating woman.

More than a hundred years ago, because of Aizen's scheme, the entire Soul Society branded me an unforgivable criminal.

But when I was in despair, she decisively and without regret cast aside all her honors and titles, and fled with me.

I know she is the only person in the world who would stay by my side and believe in me, even if the whole world turned against me.

She has given up so much for me all this time, becoming a wanderer and losing all ties to her great clan.

I think I'm truly a sinner through and through.

So, will there come a day when I get the chance to give everything for your sake, even my life, and protect you?
